Had a great time on this tour. Went deeper into the Arcadian history. Enjoyed incredible scenery of Nova Scotia's agricultural life.
Tasted delicious wine, cheeses and ice-cream.
Always having special photo sites/spots, thanks to Paul.
This was my 3rd tour with amazing/knowledgeable and warm tour guide Paul, from Half day Tours.
Did the Half day Historic one (learned what has shaped the contemporary Nova Scotia's people).
Did the Half day Peggy's Cove/Lunenburg, learned more about Nova Scotia's culture.
Highly recommend the 3 tours and Paul's unique, professional, passionate and warm guide.
Another thing to point out is that groups are small and bus is very comfortable.

It was perfect!
I loved the onboard films. They were informative and made the travel time fly by.
Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the areas and the sites we visited.
His introductory question when we got on the bus asking us where we were from helped our group bond
Paul was thoughtful and considerate.
I definitely would recommend any of Paul’s tours.

Paul, our guide delivered an amazing tour of the Annapolis Valley! He supplied us with lots of information about Halifax and each area we visited! We stopped to see the views of the Bay of Fundy and then got a closer look when we visited Halls Harbour! Lunch at Halls Harbour Lobster Pound was delicious! The gelato and wine tasting stops were great! The Church Street Winery created a personal tasting for all members of the tour! You can tell Paul enjoys his job and sharing his knowledge!

Paul was fantastic. The tour was part history, part wine tasting. The van is equipped with video; Paul narrated some things and showed us a video on Halifax’s role in the Titanic disaster. We saw the countryside, including a look at the Bay of Fundy, had lunch and went to three different wineries for tasting. If you’re going to Halifax, do yourself a favor and contact Paul!
