An easy way to see a beautiful place

Jo_A, Sep 2026
A nice hassle free way to see Peggy's Cove. Sunny told is a bit about the area and also about the role Halifax has played in some big world events, notably being close to where the Titanic sank.

Amazing Peggy's Cove

We booked this tour to avoid the large cruise tours. Aida communicated with us constantly to let us know how to find her, where she'll be etc. She was right one time, and we had an awesome day. Well worth the money!

Perfect Port Day Taste of Nova Scotia

Shawn_S, Aug 2026
Our tour guide Sonny was spectacular. Full of kindness, knowledge and his own personal perspectives/touch. This was the perfect way to see the breathtaking Peggy's Cove during our one Port Day in Halifax - and much more affordable, personal and intimate than an official cruise line shore excursion. Our only regret was having to rush back to the cruise and not get to spend more time - but that just means we'll have to go back to Nova Scotia on our own schedule, with this experience serving as the best possible taste.

Better than I expected

Ahmed_E, Aug 2026
It was one of the best 3 hours in my Halifax visit. Peggy's Cove is a very lovely and calm place to visit specially if it is early in the morning. We were picked at 8am and we reached there before many of the other tourist groups and this made it easy for us to explore without too many people. Our driver and host was Jameela, she is very funny and enthusiast and provided many insights during our drive within and outside of Halifax. The large van was very comfy and clean.

Don’t Miss this Tour

Joelle_S, Aug 2026
Pedro was great from the beginning to the very end. He was on time. He was very knowledgeable about the area and provided great information as we drove to our destination. I would highly recommend this tour and you would be lucky to get it with Pedro.

Too Many People

Carol_F, Aug 2026
Vehicle was way too small for the group; there were seven of us crammed into a small van. I was stuck in the middle between two large men and haven’t slept well since the trip because my back was so compromised. The guide was good. He was the best part of the trip.

Sunny was a great guide, who was very well-informed of Halifax and its history. He picked us up on time and was a great conversationalist. Our express tour of Peggy’s Cove was great, and he was willing to wait for us to explore until we were ready to head back. Highly recommend booking with this company.

Lovely trip with Emily our tour guide who was extremely informative and very patient with my 97 year old mum. Peggy's Cove is spectacular and definitely a must see if you visit Nova Scotia! Words do not do it justice.

Super fun time

Siglinde_R, Aug 2026
Sunny was a great driver. He suggested a lot of things to do and see. He was early at pick up which was great. I would have stayed longer but we only booked for 3h. Love Peggys Cove. Would do it again just longer next time.

blc24surr, Jul 2026
It was a beautiful tour, although our guide, who went out of her way to help find us as her text message didn’t get to us due to know Internet on ship. She was very, very nice but spoke a little bit too much about family and not as much the tour experience.

Raunaq is the best!

Jordan_S, Jul 2026
Raunaq our tour guide was amazing and so very friendly! It was just me and my mom and he made us feel so welcomed. He talked with us the whole trip and shared a lot of interesting history along the way. He even took us on a more scenic route home so we could see more of the coastline! I cannot say enough good about Raunaq. He’s a natural for this type of work! He had only been doing this tour job for a few days when he took us but it seemed like he’s been doing it forever. We had the best possible experience we could have hoped for.
