Brilliant

Ted_B, Jul 2026

Small group was indeed personal. There were only 2 of us in this particular day, so we had a private tour and got to know Simon, our guide, a bit. He was a brilliant guide and offered good insights into the history of Halifax. Definitely recommeded.

Sharon_S, Jul 2026

This tour was a waste of money. What was advertised was not what we got. It was shortened by 1 1/2 hours, did not end where we were told and the guide had little knowledge of what we were to see. I would have thought that tour of the public gardens would have included some information about the trees and plants there. The time in the Maritime Museum was better done on our own.The tour of the citadel was not very informative. Also, I called the tour company twice about my concerns and no one followed up as had been promised.

My guide was June very friendly and easy to get along with Very knowledgeable re history and what was going on in the present day.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

June strikes a great balance between history and what's happening right now, and that kind of range makes every stop feel alive and relevant. 👍 Easy company on top of that is always a bonus!

Great historical content

Tracey_D, Apr 2026

Our tour guide Jim was a lovely enthusiastic young man with a passion for history. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Response from Host, May 2026

Jim sounds like he made the experience really memorable 📚

Value with local guide

John_H, Sep 2025

Great value delivered with a fun, local bias! Leighton gave us a detailed overview of the local history combined with his personal knowledge of the city and life within the community. Definitely would recommend this one!9

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Only the most fun, locally-focused tours, for our guests! 🎉 We’re thrilled Leighton could share not just the history, but also what makes this city truly special to those who live in Halifax. Thanks for the awesome feedback, we're so happy to have your recommendation! Hope to see you again soon. 😊

Walking Halifax

Cheryl_C, Jul 2025

They skipped Pier 21 The Canadian museum of Immigration. They finished at the Martime museum. A little disappointed..

Because of our age we almost cancelled this walking tour. You offered to take us by car and we accepted. It was an amazing experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Eve_C, Jun 2023

Very disappointed- guide (Sarah)knew very little about history, current buildings or sights in Halifax eg was a certain building the legislature or the city hall (!) . She had to consult her phone to see the itinerary before departing with us. Would like a refund, please!
