Our day with Reza was amazing. He was so accommodating. My aunt is currently going through chemo and he doted on her. Helped her in and out of the van, helped with her seat belt, offered his arm when walking on a rocky path. She felt like a queen, which tokk so much stress off of us. He showed us many beautiful sights. Stopped at shops when we asked and took us to an amazing ice cream shop. We had such a fun day. So much better than being crammed on a bus full of people. Would definitely do again.

Our tour guide Anant was great! We saw things we would not have on a bigger tour. Well worth the tour, even learned about lobsters by a wholesale lobster catcher

Messaged our driver for meeting location which was right in front of the terminal. Zamir was awesome! Provided water for us all and car was spotles. He was very informative of history of Halifax and gave us information for all locations we were going to. Having a private tour guide was the best. We moved at our pace rather than the pace of 20 other bus riders. We also could be flexible in the areas we stopped at. He even stopped off at a Lobster wholesaler for a quick lobster lesson. Basically the 5 hour time was ours and he was willing to spend whatever time we wanted at each location. At the end he dropped us off at a nearby restaurant which he recommended and it was wonderful! Highly recommend this tour! Thanks Zamir!!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

It was a real pleasure showing you around Halifax and Peggy’s Cove — hope to see you again someday!

Our tour of Peggy’s Cove in Halifax was just simply amazing! Amer was our driver and tour guide and it was so obvious that he loved his city and tried to show us everything great about it! He was so full of information and knowledgeable about everything it made the tour extremely enjoyable. He made sure that we saw the highlights and stopped at this beautiful red maple tree to take our picture because we came for the fall colors! I cannot say enough, good things about Amer! He took us to Peggy’s Cove, the light house, Citadels, and the flower garden. It was great!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

We really appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for another Nova Scotia adventure!

What a wonderful way to see Peggy's Cove and Halifax. Our driver was exceptional and modified the tour to meet our needs and desires . This was a better way to see everything without being part of a large tour bus. The large tour groups seemed to be too big and a lot of herding and waiting. Our driver/guide was incredible, and the food stop we went to was a locals only sort of place, but exceptional.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
