Custom made!

Cindy_J, Jul 2026

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.

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!

Don’t Hesitate To Book This!!!

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!

Do this tour over a cruise ship excursion.

Michael_H, May 2026

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!
