A fun walk and talk

Cindy_H, Jul 2026

Simon was very knowledgeable and a most pleasant guide. I came away having learned something new and, after all, that’s what it’s all about. I would suggest that Viator get with the tour operator though, as the meeting point supplied by Viator (1215 Marginal Rd) is NOT in fact the meeting point - it is PIER 21 some 300-400 metres away. Despite the mix up, the walk and talk is enjoyable.

Truthfully do not waste your money

The guide was not knowledgeable. Sable Island is not an island that has a bridge to it. Amongst other things that were either ch glossed over or untrue. We didn't learn any interesting details about the Titanic. Very little enthusiasm. Free ice cream at the end was nice.

History tour....not ghost tour

JULIA_S, Jun 2026

If you know any information at all about the titanic or history in NS in general, this is not for you. All the information I pretty much knew going into this. And they mostly talked about the history side of things. And only talked about the haunted island there was no more mention of ghost stories, which was the main reason me and my friend went on this tour. The tour guide female seems a little inexperienced as she lead the tour, the male accompanying her was more knowledgeable and spoke clearer.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We appreciate you being candid about this because your feedback touches on some important points we want to address properly. 🙏 The gap between what the tour promised around the ghost stories and what was actually delivered, along with your experience of the guides, are things we genuinely need to look into. Please reach out to us directly so we can dig into this further and make sure future guests get the full experience they're expecting.
