    This tour takes you for a half hour land tour of downtown Halifax in an old military amphibious vehicle, which then proceeds into the water for a half hour harbor tour. The splash down is lots of fun! The tour guide was interesting and provided lots of history of the city. Definitely a worthwhile thing to do in good weather, not so sure about doing it in the rain!

    such a wonderful time with excellent driver. Drove us through beautiful neighborhoods, colleges, downtown. Took us to Peggys Cove which we enjoyed the views. A very very relaxing tour without the need of a large cruise group which tends to rush you through. He even bought me mocha coffee. I strongly recommended him . Thank you so much for being so patient with us.

    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.

    This was a very informative tour, the history of Halifax and the notable events are well depicted in the narrative. I had a little trouble stopping and skipping the order because I didn't go in exact order of the tour, but otherwise it was very good

    This had to be one of the best excursions we’ve ever had. As any excursion goes you never know what to expect and usually you cross your fingers hoping that’ll be good.
    Paul was amazing, from the moment I booked the excursion until the moment he dropped us off back at the port. Paul was early to pick us up which gave us the advantage of being early at Peggy’s cove. His mission was to get us there before all the other tour buses and that he did given us the opportunity to enjoy it without crowds. Paul also took the scenic route instead of the highway so that we had the chance to admire the beautiful scenery, slowing down for us to be able to take pictures and stopping at small places that were interesting like a lobster place where we received a lesson on the different types of lobsters very interesting 😊 Paul drove us around Lunenburg pointing out so many interesting details. Overall it was a great experience Paul was definitely a 10 out 10 highly recommended.

    Met great people, Conner was a great time, kept us entertained. Only downfall was we went to two stops( not including the one we ended at) and they were quite places, no music.

    Overall the app worked well. Informative and easy to use. We liked the selections available. Often did not automatically start at each stop but that was a minor issue

    Stephanie picked us from our lodgings on time with hot coffees in Halifax. Then she drove us to the wineries, where she had arranged tastings tailored to our preferences. She is a wealth of knowledge on local wine, climate, and culture - and a pleasure to chat with. You will not regret booking with her!

    Prompt pickup which was appreciated. So nice to have tour for aourselves rather than multiple pick-ups. Bruce stuck to his "script" so did not engage in any discussion about anything else. Informative about the sites and places we visited or drove past. Good idea of his to have prepared cards which we took a photo of before we started taking photos of that particular area. Less opportunity for photos from back seat so put your best photographer in the front. I still took 137 photos. My friend took well over 300 from the front seat.

    We had a wonderful time on the wine sale. Brandon, Simone and Ben were amazing! They made the trip a delight. Simone was very knowledgeable about the wines and Ben and Brandon kept it smooth sailing. The boat was lovely. I would highly recommend it to anyone. You get to see the city from a different vantage point and may even spot a seal! Also, you get to see beautiful homes.

    It was nice to see Halifax's downtown Victorian homes, the St Paul’s Anglican Church and other historical landmarks. The commentary and narration by this tour's guide was of a caliber beyond anything my wife and I had experienced on any tour.

    Wow. Just wow. First class. We were picked up by Mike and from the first meeting, we knew he was genuine and really wanted to show us as much as he could. When everyone was in the van, Mike asked us if, instead of going to the maze, we wanted to see Mahone Bay because they were having their annual Scarecrow Festival. We all agreed 100% that we would prefer that side trip and then we were off. Conversation was easy and comfortable. Mike shared his knowledge especially how fast Halifax was growing. He would point out everything he knew when he saw it. We drove to Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, Lunenberg, and the Ovens Park then back up to Halifax. It was a full day. When in Nova Scotia, everyone needs to see the Ovens Park and I believe Mike's tour is the only one that goes there but it is a MUST. There was never a dull moment and all of the stops were the perfect amount of time. Mike is an excellent host and driver. The van was super comfortable for everyone. I highly recommend Supernova Tours. It's my honest thought that Supernova Tours will become very, very popular so book quickly.
