    Our Driver Nilah (I hope I got that right) was excellent. Gave us a lot of information about Peggy’s Cove and surrounds. Had enough time to wander around PC and have a quick bite of lunch. Overall a really good tour.

    Great visit to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. Booking and communication with the tour provider was seamless. Was a nice size group and comfortable transportation. Our guide, Reg, was extremely knowledgeable and provided wonderful history and commentary on our trip. We had plenty of time to walk and explore both of the stops on the tour. I would highly recommend this experience.

    This tour reaches Peggy's Cove after about 1 hour drive as first stop. The small fisherman village is known for the big flat rocks and the lighthouse. It is a "must have seen". During our visit in the autumn it was not too crowded. We stayed about 1,5 hour there.
    The modern car was equipped with 14 seats and we were 12 passengers. The driver/local guide was excellent and gave us a lot of information during the drive.
    The second stop was a the Titanic cemetery. It was quite an experience to be there. Our guide joined the group at the cementary where he explained a lots of details about some of the grave stones. Eventually, we returned after 4,5 hours to Halifax.

    We feel so glad we took this tour! Duncan was a fantastic guide. It was well organized, and we enjoyed learning about historic and current Canada. We met right by the cruise port, and it was a wonderful way to see Halifax when we only had one day!

    This was an absolutely fantastic tour of Halifax and everything about it. Our guide Paul was so passionate and enthusiastic about Halifax and its history. Our tour lasted almost 7 hours and we were on a cruise ship and in Halifax for the day. He picked us right up at the port, had a sign with our names on it and there were 4 others with us in a nice van. A great small group of 6 people. We toured around the whole city, got to walk through the Public Gardens, stopped at the Citadel and saw the cannon fire at noon and the changing of the guard, learned so much about the explosion that killed many in Halifax and also learned things I did not know about the Titanic. We went to 2 different Titanic cemetaries and passed by even more. We stopped in a charming fishing village and had lunch at a local and delicious seafood restaurant. We could not have asked for a better day with a more enthusiastic host. He provided waters for us the entire day and also had a TV screen in the car to show us pictures and videos about all of the great stories he told us throughout the day. An absolutely fantastic tour that is a must do when visiting Halifax!

    Peggys cove was a beautiful drive to get to. We did a tour with our Cruise ship, RC. You could easily do this with another group, just watch your time. The area was very cute- don't miss the little shops on the island. We got some great local art!

    🌟I had an amazing one-day tour with this tour group in Halifax!

    The whole experience was top-notch. First of all, the transportation was great. We were picked up from the hotel entrance in a comfortable air-conditioned 7-seater van, which was really convenient. And it dropped us back right at the hotel entrance around 6 pm after departing at 8:45 am.

    The itinerary was well-planned. We visited several wonderful places. Peggy's Cove Lighthouse was absolutely stunning, with its picturesque view by the sea. The whole Peggy's Cove area was charming. Standing there, you could feel the tranquility and beauty of the ocean. Queensland Beach was a lovely stop too, though the stay was only 10 minutes, it was enough to enjoy a quick dip of the seaside charm. Mahone Bay Visitors Information Centre gave us a chance to get some useful information about the area. The short 5-minute stop was still valuable. Lunenburg Historic District was a highlight. Spending an hour and a half there, we could really soak up the historical atmosphere of the old downtown. And Wolfville Waterfront Park was a great place to end the day, with its peaceful and scenic setting.

    Overall, I highly recommend this one-day tour to anyone visiting Halifax. It's a great way to see the best of the area in a short time! 👍

    We had a wonderful and relaxed day with Stewart. He was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to explore the Public Gardens, and best of all, Peggy's Cove. Highly recommend this private tour!

    Read the excellent reviews and went to Paul’s website after not being impressed by the cruise line’s offerings or prices for excursions on the day we were in Halifax. We were initially interested in his Titanic tour so I inquired and received a response in less than 24 hours. While he wasn’t offering it on that particular day, he offered us spots on the South Shore one. What an awesome stroke of luck we didn’t even realize had occurred! Paul confirmed our reservation via email with detailed instructions for pick-up when we arrived in port, and followed up with a text to make sure I received them. All very reassuring.

    Paul’s tour is top notch! A must do for anyone visiting Halifax. First, it’s a van vs. a bus, so easier to get around city streets and small town roads. He knows his way around traffic! The small group size also allowed for us to take as much time as we wanted or even cut short allotted time at each stop. Paul drove us along the scenic coast and waterways for a perfectly picturesque ride. (The big buses took the highway.)

    Along with the major stops, we made a couple of “off the beaten path” ones that truly make this a unique experience. Like a little beach area with white sand and turquoise water….on the South Shore of Nova Scotia! It was instagram-worthy with fall foliage as a backdrop. And then we also got up close and personal with some live lobsters at another quick drop-in. Along the way, Paul had videos for us to watch that related to the area and/or events that had taken place there. No substitute for his knowledge and entertaining narration, but interesting additions to it!

    Our lunch stop had lots of options for all tastes and enough time for a little shopping. We returned to the port with ample time before “all aboard”. I would tour with Paul any time again and again!

    Bruce gave my wife & I a fantastic personalized tour of historic Lunenburg, as well as central Halifax & the areas surrounding our travels. He was waiting for us at the pick-up point ahead of time, which meant we had bonus extra touring time. He gave us a full pre-departure briefing using a detailed map which set the scene for our tour & gave us a good idea of what to expect.

    He had a store-house of information & kept the narration coming.He gave us regular stops for refreshment & restroom stops & impromptu stops including some shopping.

    He tailored our trip to our interests, mainly photography, history & general interests. He had an in-depth knowledge of many aspects, particularly in historic Lunenburg & points of view that may be unlikely covered by others. We had a very nice lunch in Lunenburg right where he dropped us off for this.

    Our selected 6 1/2hour tour effectively & efficiently used our time allowed by the cruise ship movements & he made sure we were comfortably returned in time.

    We have no hesitation in recommending Bruce for a tour of Lunenburg & the Halifax Nova Scotia area generally - do yourself a favour! He gives really outstanding value for money & is such a personable driver & guide. I took over 200 photos of this tour which is many more than average & look forward to processing them from RAW format.

    If your near here slide by for a brief look, once. The place was crawling with people even in mid sept and it's just a white lighthouse on a rock. The biggest thing I got out of it was the scenic views and how bare the rock was. The bare rock told me that when storms get up at this location the wave action must be truly wicked! THAT would be worth a 2nd visit, if it was open! Glad we went, once.
