    We spent a day exploring Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg with Anant as our guide. From beginning to end, Anant’s expertise, warmth, and passion transformed what could have been just a “tour” into an all-around memory maker. From the moment he picked us up, Anant’s professionalism was evident. The vehicle was comfortable, clean, and climate-controlled, with water bottles ready — exactly what you need when covering as much ground as we did. As we made our way along Nova Scotia’s sparkling coastline, Anand’s narration was so much more than reciting facts. He wove together local stories, legends, and personal insights that gave depth to each stop. We stopped at Peggy’s Cove, along with the hundreds of people on the big cruise ship buses. We loved the VIP feel of our own luxury SUV. In Mahone Bay, we enjoyed the charming waterfront houses with whimsical lawn decor for the annual, unique Scarecrow Festival. In Lunenburg, Anant guided us across cobbled streets, explaining maritime heritage with the Blue Nose II and how the people lived through time. Flexibility & personal touch: When we asked to spend a little extra time at certain vantage points or detour for a photo opportunity, Anant happily accommodated. He balanced sticking to the schedule with letting the day breathe. Passion & personality: Anant has the gift of making history feel alive. He’s not lecturing; he’s conversing. You feel like you’re uncovering stories alongside a local friend. As a fascinating tidbit, he used to lead tours in the Himalayas and was happy to answer our questions about that too! Please note, the tour itinerary involves a lot of driving between sights. We enjoyed seeing the Fall colors, scenic water views & listening to Anant. Thank you for giving us a Halifax day we’ll remember always.
