We had a great trip with Brittany who was super friendly and shared a lot of information about the area on the drive to Peggy’s Cove. The location was beautiful, even on a cold, windy day!

This was my first trip to Halifax and seeing Peggy’s Cove was an absolute must. The driver was courteous, knowledgeable and spoke of a lot of the history of the area. Peggy’s Cove was breathtaking and I was able to enjoy a delicious bowl of chowder at the restaurant/gift shop (perfect on a cool, windy day). Should definetly be on everyone’s bucket list when visiting Halifax!

For a first visit to Halifax, that’s a pretty perfect way to experience it! Thanks for the lovely recommendation, it truly is a must-see when visiting Halifax 😊

It’s very expensive for just a taxi ride. If the planned 5 people had turned up that would have been over £250
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t feel like good value. We understand your point. While some guests may enjoy the exclusivity that comes with not having other groups on tour. Some people may prefer the group engagement and conversation that comes with it.
Our tours are designed to include commentary, local insight, and seamless coordination at each stop, we recognise that this didn't happen for you and appreciate you letting us know. While Peggy's Cove is the only stop on this tour, it should've been an engaging and well guided experience for you.
We'd love the chance to make it up to you on your next tour with us with the full See Sight Tours experience all of our guests deserve.

It’s hard for me to review a tour that never happened. My sister made the reservation and the three of us made our payments. But No van/bus showed up at pier 21. We received an email stating that was the meeting place. Bottom line, after several telephone calls, we never got picked up. Therefore we called an Uber and did get to Peggy’s Cove. Later after more calls to Viator, we did get a refund but it was less than what Uber charged. That being said, this was a very unfortunate situation. We were beyond disappointed.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced, we completely understand how upsetting it must have been to wait and never be picked up for your Peggy’s Cove tour. That’s not the level of reliability or communication we strive to provide.
Unfortunately, on that day, our operations team was being guided according to local regulations about pick-ups at the pier. While tours have since stablised and smoothly operating, we apologise for the frustration and inconvenience you suffered.
We’re glad Viator was able to process a refund, but we understand that doesn’t make up for the added expense and lost time. We sincerely apologize again for what happened and appreciate your feedback, it helps us improve for future guests and tours.

Dilmurod (Dale) was our driver and was terrific. He had immigrated from Eastern Europe, without his family, several years ago and had some very interesting stories to share about his experience. His love for the country that took him in, and later his family, were an added bonus. Gorgeous little area and I now know why it is one of the most photographed areas in Canada.

I had communicated numerous times with the company and they confirmed pick up location and able to accommodate walker and foldable wheelchair. The morning of tour they said they could not pick us up at agreed location or accommodate wheelchair. Did not offer to send another vehicle. This had been contracted to See Sight Tours. We received money back from Viator but spent 2x as much on Uber to go to Peggy’s Cove. This is the first time I have had a problem with Viator but was very disappointed. Thankfully they refunded my money right away! I love Peggy’s Cove!

We’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced on the day of your Peggy’s Cove tour.
We completely understand how upsetting it must have been after receiving confirmation about the pickup and accessibility needs, only to find out that accommodations couldn’t be met that morning. That’s not the smooth or caring experience we want for our guests.
We’re glad to hear Viator was able to issue a refund promptly, but we sincerely regret the added inconvenience and expense you faced.
Peggy’s Cove is indeed a beautiful place, and we hope one day you’ll give us another chance to show it to you under better circumstances — the way it should have been the first time!

The tour provided what we wanted - a good value for an efficient ride to Peggy’s Cove, an hour there, and an efficient ride back to Halifax that morning so we could spend the afternoon seeing the sights in town. But they should make clear that transport is via private taxi, and do a better job describing meeting place. We went to the meeting place, but the tour had sent an email the day before moving the meeting place around the corner. But since we were on a cruise, we didn’t get the email so it took us awhile to find our driver, especially since there is no signage on the taxi or the driver indicating “Sight Tours.” If you’re looking for a good value and efficient trip to Peggy’s Cove, this tour works well but they need to be clearer about transport, pickup location, and signage.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We’re truly sorry for the confusion you experienced. We understand it might've been disorienting to learn the pickup location had changed via an email you couldn’t access. Generally our updates do come by email to make the communication reliable and easily accessible.
Sometimes we do use alternative SUV's and cars during peak season or in the case of the unexpected. Our vehicles also now carry our logo and our guides wear the See Sight Tours branded uniform.
We’re glad you still enjoyed the efficient trip to Peggy’s Cove and had time to explore Halifax afterwards.
We sincerely appreciate your honest feedback, it always helps us improve for every guest who follows in your footsteps. 🌊 We'd love to have the opportunity to make it up to you with a 5 star travel next time!

We couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Our driver from the port of Halifax to Peggy’s Cove and back was outstanding. From the moment we hopped in the vehicle at the cruise-terminal, we felt welcomed, comfortable and in good hands. It was pouring down rain when we arrived , Ali called us and asked if we wanted to be picked up at the port instead of us having to walk 15 mins in a downpour!
Highlights:
The pickup was right on schedule – prompt and hassle-free.
On the drive out to Peggy’s Cove the commentary was informative without being overbearing; we learned about the local history, scenery, and got insider tips on photo spots.
Once at Peggy’s Cove the guide made sure we had enough time to explore the lighthouse, the shoreline, and get those great views — not rushed at all.
The return trip was smooth, with friendly conversation, comfortable driving, and good safety throughout. He even made a pit stop to the citadel for us to check that out before returning to the ship!
The vehicle was clean and comfortable, making the hour-plus journey each way pleasant rather than tiring.
In short: a 5-star experience. If you’re arriving in Halifax and looking to book a stress-free excursion to Peggy’s Cove, we highly recommend this tour and our guide for a memorable outing.
Thanks for a fantastic day out!

Advertised as a 3h30m tour, we only got to spend 57 minutes in Peggy’s cove, and about 1h drive each way. While not explicitly stated in the booking description, there was no tour to speak of and no talk during the car rides. I did enjoy exploring Peggy’s cove however and that alone is worth it, but know that your are basically paying for a taxi ride to and from that beautiful location at which you may only stay a brief hour-ish
Joanne_J, Oct 2025
Our guide did not know very much about the area and was silent for most of the tour. When we asked questions he didn’t seem to know much or just didn’t know anything. There was extra time and we were able to see the view from the Citadel which was very nice.
