5.00Rhonda was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed how much she knew about the tour. We rode the whole route to see it all and then were going to ride again and get off where we wanted the second time. The second time we rode with another lady who talked about buying gummies the whole time. We thought it was very unprofessional and didn't like that, but to each his own. Rhonda made each story have a meaning and even brought some of her own personal experiences into it with her family and such. She was very personable. We enjoyed her tour.
Citadel is a must

4.00Hop on, Hop off busses are a wonderful thing! They give a traveler a way of experiencing a city at their own pace. The Halifax busses are also a great system. However, they are older busses and not at comfortable a some city’s. Now - that is not that important to me because I am really hopping on and off a lot. But if you were to use them as sort of a tour taxi, that may be an issue, We started our tour at the museum and road the entire circuit. The announcer was helpful with good information but the stops are far between so you are on the bus a lot. Do take the bus if you have a limited amount of time and would like a good overview of Halifax. Just me opinion 😁
Excellent tour of...

3.00Using somewhat battered "vintage" (1960s) double-decker busses, the tour offers a detailed look at the port of Halifax and environs. The live guide provided us a knowledgeable account of the city history including the horrific explosion of an ammunitions ship in 1917--a defining event for Halifax.
I absolutely love Halifax!

5.00There is a lot to see in Halifax. I absolutely love this city. We had plenty of time to hop on and off at the places we wanted to visit. The buses ran very regularly so it was easy to see a lot in a short period of time.
Great all around tour!
