Nancy is a wonderful storyteller about the area and the fishing industry. She brought us to some very interesting places that we never would have found without her. We completely enjoyed the entire tour and would recommend it to everyone.

Nancy is very knowledgeable and entertaining. Well spent 2 hours. See much of Lunenburg without walking the hills. Went a 1 pm and the bonus was seeing the Bluenose under sail.

Gary was the best tour guide we have ever had! What a great guy and without Gary it would have been just another same old tour. Thank you Gary. Everyone on our tour with you just felt the same too.😁

This was our first time to Lunenburg and we loved seeing the Hidden Gems we would not have discovered on our own. The small group and Gary's kindness, wit, and storytelling made the trip delightful. Lots of stops for pictures. Lovely tour.

The high content stories and providing information that we would never be able to obtain about Lunenburg and the surrounding area...eg the casket window in the house and pig on the knee will return from the sea!...excellent and great energy from Nancy in communicating with the customers...

We enjoyed the story telling aspects of Nancy’s tour. She loves the fisherman and his legacy. The stops were pleasant and out of the way. We’d never have found them on our own. She knows many locals and always stops to offer a greeting.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for this kind review and I am glad you enjoyed the tour! Safe travels and all the best until next time.

I come from quite a background of storytellers so I loved it! Was genuine, not a boring script.
The stops were great too!
She would excel at narrating an evening hall situation, full Lunenburg outfit of old, sound effects., local "treats" from an old recipe!
I would definitely go, so would my companions!! Thank you again!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for this lovely and kind review from one storyteller to another this was a lovely compliment! The best and safe travels till next time

Nancy was an interesting story teller. She spoke mostly from her own life experiences. She lived (and still lives) in the area so she had a very local perspective. Plus she drives us around in her little bus to places of interest. Fun tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

I loved the stops, and we got to see the bluenose II while sailing, the history of the area and the guide's connection to it all. The stories were full of history, facts and some funny. I loved the music that was added. Lots of fun while learning about the area's history.

This is a storytelling tour, not a sight-seeing tour. So if you love storytelling, this is the tour for you, as Lunenburg is as fascinating as it is beautiful. Nancy is a great guide, so please do it.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you for your kind words.. loved having you come along!
