Was nice to customize a tour to our interests. Guide provided some narration and history of area and sites we went to but wasn’t nonstop narration so we spent some time just taking in the scenery. We went to Peggy’s Cove, Swissair memorial, titanic cemetery, and citadel. We also went to Ryer’s lobster which was a highlight of the trip where we were educated about lobsters and saw different live lobsters in different sizes including a 14lb live lobster that is about 80 years old.
Great trip! Driver was friendly and very good. Took us to a nice lunch spot and showed us around Halifax on way back.

It’s great that you also got to enjoy a nice lunch and see more of Halifax along the way. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Nova Scotia someday!
Our guide was energetic and proud to show off his homeland. He was very accommodating to our wants and needs and will customize the tour to your preference. He was very good at taking pictures and capturing memories for his guests. I would recommend him to friends and family if they were to visit Halifax

Claudio was an excellent driver and very accommodating! We hired him to do a private tour around Nova Scotia. He helped streamline the tour to give us the most bang for our buck. He even found us a delicious luncheon spot that served the best lobster roll croissant!!

We truly appreciate you choosing us for your private tour and hope to welcome you back to Nova Scotia again in the future!
We had a fantastic tour. Our ship was an hour an and a half late in letting us off but our tour guide Anant helped us make the most of our time. His knowledge of the area and its history was amazing and we spent time in between stops getting the full stories of places we had just visited and were about to visit. At the Tirantic cemetery I noticed people who were with the larger tours lean in to hear ours because Anant knew not just the general story but all the details of the individual graves and the attempts to identify some of the unidentified graves. Anyway we couldn’t have been happier with the tour and our guide Anant.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted that Anant made the most of your time despite the ship’s delay. His knowledge and passion for Halifax’s history truly make his tours special. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for choosing us!
Booked this as a private tour for 3 of us so we could customize it to our interests. It worked out really well. Ephraim did a very good job showing us around the city and driving us to see Peggy’s Cove. He was very prompt to pick us up, very friendly and professional. We never felt rushed.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your private customized tour worked out so well for the three of you.
It’s great to know that Ephrim was prompt, friendly, professional, and made the day feel relaxed without ever rushing you. That’s exactly what we want from our private tours—the freedom to explore Halifax and Peggy’s Cove at your own pace and according to your interests.
Thank you for choosing us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience with Ziyan - the host with the most! Lots of great stories and was able to enjoy all the top sites, minus the crowds and then some…. Easily personalized to your interests - great tour! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day tour to Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and each stop had its own unique charm and history.
A huge thank you to our tour guide, **Ziyan**, who was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the places we visited. He also recommended some great spots to explore, eat, and take photos, which made our trip even more enjoyable.
If you're planning a day trip around Nova Scotia, I highly recommend this tour—and if you get Ziyan as your guide, you're in for a fantastic experience. Thank you for making our day so memorable!

A special thank you for recognizing Ziyan. As one of our youngest guides, he brings genuine enthusiasm, professionalism, and an impressive knowledge of Nova Scotia. He loves sharing the stories, history, and hidden gems that make this province so special, and it’s always rewarding to hear that guests appreciate his efforts.
Your recommendation means a great deal to both Ziyan and our entire team. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Nova Scotia for another memorable adventure in the future. Safe travels!
Custom made! We wanted a private tour so we could go at our own pace and visit the three most important places to our group: Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and Mahone Bay. We had seniors in our group and Zamir was patient and accommodating. He was also very cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us suggestions for lunch and where to do some shopping. He gave us a lot of history of the area. The van was clean and comfortable, plenty roomy for four. Zamir arrived early to pick us up and he was a good and safe driver. We really appreciated having Zamir as our guide, and highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with your group. I'm so happy we could take our time and visit the places that mattered most to you. Thank you for trusting me with your day in Nova Scotia—it truly means a lot. I hope you had a wonderful trip, and I'd love to welcome you back again someday!
Zamir was an amazing tour guide! He picked us up in his very clean SUV and tailored our 6 tour tour around what my Mom and I were interested in. He was very knowledgeable, sharing history and facts about the areas we visited. He was always happy to change courses and stop where ever we decided we wanted to have a closer look at something. I HIGHLY recommend him and we are so glad we did this more personalized tour rather than a cruise ship excursion.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure meeting you and your mom, and I really enjoyed spending the day exploring Nova Scotia together. I’m so happy you enjoyed the flexibility of the tour and that we could make it a special experience for you both. Your recommendation truly means a lot to me. I hope our paths cross again someday—you’re always welcome back to Halifax!
Awesome tour of the Halifax highlights for a day shore excursion. Better value than a crowded, inflexible ship excursion. Visit to the lobster distributor was a main highlight to learn about lobsters and see a massive 13 pounder with a claw bigger than my hand. Al was a fantastic tour guide. Pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about Halifax history. Five stars all the way!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you chose our private tour over the cruise ship excursion and had such a great experience exploring Halifax with us. The lobster stop is definitely a guest favorite, and that 13-pound lobster certainly makes an impression! We’re especially happy to hear that Al made your day memorable with his knowledge and passion for Halifax’s history. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Nova Scotia again in the future!
This custom tour was a great way to see the top tourist sites at our own pace. Driver/tour guide Al was terrific.
