Hi Timothy, Thank you so much for the lovely review, it really means a lot! I truly enjoyed touring with you guys, it was such a fun and easygoing day. I’m glad we could adjust things along the way and make it just right for you. Really appreciate the recommendation, and I hope our paths cross again someday here in Nova Scotia! Zamir

Best tour of our trip! Money well spent and would do it again!

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

Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Reading your words absolutely made my day. I’m thrilled to hear this was the best tour of your trip and that you enjoyed the flexibility, the stories, and even the lobster stop! Guests like you make what I do so rewarding. It was a real pleasure showing you around Halifax and Peggy’s Cove — hope to see you again someday!

Amen- the best tour guide

Janice_G, Oct 2025

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

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you had an amazing time with Amer—he truly loves showing guests the best of Halifax! The red maple stop sounds perfect for fall photos 🍁. We really appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for another Nova Scotia adventure!

Great Way to See What You Want

Doug_S, Oct 2025

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

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Peggy’s Cove and Halifax with us. It’s great to know your driver made the tour flexible and personalized to your interests that’s exactly what we aim for! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another memorable day in Nova Scotia.
