4.00Sit in the middle. The front you get wet and the back is loud and bumpy. It was interesting but not a must do. Very hard to hear the guides.
Beautiful ride!!!!

5.00It sometimes takes family coming for a visit but it was my wife's and my first time doing the tour. We had a blast. The father and daughter duo (dad running the boat while his daughter did the commentary) were both funny and informative. The trip includes Citadel Hill, around the downtown core, and out on the water. Well worth the price. I would suggest buying from them directly as you can buy from others online but at an increased cost in some cases. Also, when they drive into the water, those upfront and on the right did get some good spray so if you want to enjoy the water up close and personal, sit there....lol.
Fun time!

5.00Great introduction to Halifax! Abby was a fabulous guide, and Geff did a great job navigating some narrow streets. Be sure to wear an extra layer of clothing. It was cold!
Very fun tour!!
