5.00Pedro, was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure to contact us and let us know the time of his arrival to pick us up at our hotel and was on time to pick us up at Peggy's Cove for our return. During the drive he made sure to tell us the history of Halifax and the surrounding area. We took a scenic route and he pointed out beautiful views along the way. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.
Amazing time Thanks to Pedro!!

5.00Was a great experience and Brittany the driver was very good and informative, the only thing that we had an issue with was that we only had 1 hour at Peggy's Cove would have have preferred a little more time to explore the location
