This was a very informative and interesting. You can get on and off whenever, wherever you want. Rhonda spoke clearly and gave us great info about Halifax. The driver, Ken, was very good at driving the antiquated buses. Surprise they even made it around the circuit. I would spend the money again.
Not worth it

The bus fumes will kill you. It’s an old bus with tiny seats. When we first got on, we only had seats with our backs to the window. It’s too small to see anything out the windows. No picture opportunity. We could have gotten a cab to the one stop we wanted to see, and we waited 45 min to be picked up again. Would not recommend this tour. We also skipped two stops because they had streets blocked off. When we got to the stop to redeem our tickets it was 11 am. That was the time listed on reservation. The lady said it wouldn’t pick up until 12 so we went for coffee and got back at 11:45. The bus was leaving! Had to wait 30 more min for next bus.
Did not choose this transportation!

Paid the most for this excursion and very disappointed. Bus pick ups too far apart and not enough busses running. Waited over an hour at the gardens and bus was full, walked to the memorial and all uphill, too taxing. Waited for 3rd bus and never got off again as to not lose a seat. Cold and windy!

My husband and I were on NCL and planned to tour the area using the Hop On Hop Off Bus Service. We made our way to our designated location for pick up and loved our ride from the beginning to the very end with Janis. Once we hopped off, we walked and enjoyed the sites of Halifax! We highly recommend using this service when visiting this harbor town.
Two thumbs down

Regrettably, this was the worst experience we have ever had with this type of tour. The audio on the top deck cut in and out for many stops. We had no idea that stop one was at a port of entry for cruise ships. We were told we had to exit the bus and stand back in line with several hundred people who had purchased tickets thru the cruise line. We explained we had not been on the entire route and started at the address Viator stated on the website which was stop three or four. We did not want to waste and hour in line so we walked backed to the beginning of where we parked. Best advice is to know if cruise ships get picked up on these tours. We even spoke to the Hop On Hop Off agent and due to booking thru Viator they couldn’t help us. They could only apologize.
