What To Expect
Lunenburg
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. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, learn about Lunenburg’s shipbuilding heritage, and, if time permits, catch a glimpse of the iconic Bluenose II schooner (if docked).
Mahone Bay
Next, you’ll take a 15-minute drive (11 km/7 miles) to Mahone Bay, a quaint coastal town known for its scenic beauty and the iconic three waterfront churches. Here, you’ll spend 30 minutes enjoying the tranquil views, capturing photos, and exploring the artisan shops and cafes that give this village its charm.

5.00If 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.
Excellent private tour worth the money

5.00Excellent 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!

5.00Ziyan 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

3.00Be 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

5.00What 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.
