Your day begins with a convenient pickup from the Halifax Cruise Terminal, your hotel, or another central location in Halifax. Your licensed driver-guide will warmly welcome you and share engaging stories about Nova Scotia's history, culture, and natural beauty as you set off on your journey. The first destination is Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (95 km/59 miles) from Halifax. Upon arrival, you’ll spend 1 hour exploring the colorful streets and charming waterfront.

    If you want to see all of Halifax, then this is the tour for you. Our private driver, Anant, was amazing. He knew all the facts about the island & knew all the scenic spots to go.

    We had the good luck to be guided on an all day tour of Halifax by Ziyan, a charming, knowledgeable and fun guide. He drove us all over and knew exactly where to stop for perfect picture ops, all the while entertaining us with stories and historical facts about the city and surrounding towns, and telling us about his family and how they grew their tour business here. If you have the time, this all day tour is terrific, and we recommend it.

    Excellent private tour from a small family-owned business. They are flexible and worked with us to fit the time we had for our itinerary as we had to get back to our cruise ship at a specific time. If you are lucky enough to visit the lobster wholesaler, it was an unexpected treat!

    Ziyan was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Our group was older with health limitations but we never felt rushed. He adjusted the tour to our pace always making sure we were comfortable and able to enjoy what our interest included. Today many young ones display attitudes or show little interest in their work but. This is not the case with Ziyan. Everyone in the group agrees with this assessment. We most definitely would work with him again

  • Hours in an uncomfortable car

    Be sure to check in advance what the tour includes. We spent easily 4.5 hours in the car, not sightseeing. A lot of money for a lot of car time. ☹️ Additionally, the vehicle was poorly suited for four, uh, elderly adults, forcing one of us into the third row. Very difficult to maneuver. Not good.

  • Fantastic way to explore Halifax

    What a fabulous tour. We got to see the major attractions in Halifax and learned a lot. Ziyan was a fantastic guide. He shared so much great information and the four of us had the best day! He dropped us off and picked us up in convenient places and was very attentive. We highly recommend this tour.

  • Rushed uninformed trip to Peggy's Cove and back

    Our trip out to Peggy's Cove and then back for the highlights of Halifax was too ambitious for a 7 hour tour. Felt rushed the entire time but that said we were off a cruise ship and needed to be back on time. We were to be 8, ended up being 7, but had to be transported in 2 vehicles. The lead vehicle ,containing 3 husbands, was piloted with a capable, knowledgeable driver the second, Saeed, a gentleman who had been in Halifax for 18 months and knew very little. Idea was to have a call between the cars to be on speaker phone which worked once. We 4 ladies in the second car got no information except when we stopped and were able to engage with the first driver. The first driver got annoyed at the second and then didn't talk to him at all. The company vehicle that Saeed drove was, Travelportal Travel Inc of Nova Scotia, and they should not have hired him as he was not knowledgeable. It was a lovely warm day and we saw the sights just didn't learn much.

    Ziyan, who works with his father—the owner of the company—was our guide for the day. He was friendly and provided helpful information at each stop along the way. We were picked up in a grey Kia Sedona van. While it wasn't quite the luxury vehicle we had expected, it was comfortable and perfectly fine for our group of six. The tour involved a fair amount of driving, but that's simply due to the distance between the attractions—not a reflection on the guide. The stops themselves offered beautiful scenery and were well worth the trip. Ziyan made sure we returned to the cruise port with plenty of time to spare, which we really appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend this tour to others
