5.00Lots to do, good restaurants, bars and, you can catch some maritime music if you wish. We had a guide for the first day, Paul McNeil, who was very knowledgeable in Halifax history. We took his 6 hour tour with our 15 year old grandson and he kept us all informed and interested. Paul McNeil, Halifax History Tours (902) 292-6780.

5.00We booked our 3 hour tour of the Halifax and the surrounding area with Johnathan Duru of Aberdeen Tours and it was a highlight of our visit to the area. Johnathan was very knowledgeable about the area and had plenty of insight to add regarding the local history and culture. We even added a side trip to the Diwali Festival of Lights in Halifax which we had heard about and he agreed to take us there and we had a wonderful lunch at the event.
