Discover Halifax's captivating stories through an immersive audio experience that puts you in complete control of your adventure. Unlike crowded group tours that rush you past attractions, this self-guided journey allows you to linger at fascinating locations, skip areas that don't interest you, and truly absorb the city's rich maritime heritage at your own rhythm. Our expertly crafted narration brings centuries-old tales to life with crystal-clear audio quality and an engaging storytelling voice that transforms ordinary sightseeing into an extraordinary journey of discovery. You'll uncover exclusive historical insights, hidden secrets, and local legends that most visitors never hear, while enjoying the authentic experience of exploring like a knowledgeable local. The flexibility to pause, replay, and customize your route ensures you get the maximum value from every moment, creating a personalized adventure that traditional tours simply cannot match.

1. Complete Flexibility - Tour at Your Own Pace: This is a self-guided audio tour, NOT a GPS-guided tour. You have complete freedom to choose which attractions to visit, explore in any order you prefer, start and finish wherever you like, and even split the tour across multiple days. Spend as much time as you want at each location and take breaks whenever needed.

2. How You'll Receive Your Tour Materials: On your selected travel date, before your start time, you'll receive two important links: one for your audio guides (SoundCloud) and one for your interactive map (Google My Maps). These links will be sent via your booking platform's messaging system, and also via iMessage/WhatsApp if you provided your phone number during booking. Important: While all links are fully functional, the booking platform may not display link previews due to platform restrictions. For the best experience with instant previews and one-click access, we strongly recommend providing your phone number during booking to receive links via WhatsApp or iMessage. This ensures smoother, faster access to your audio guides.

3. Using Your Audio Guides (Link 1 - SoundCloud): Open the SoundCloud link in your web browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). You'll see a playlist of all attraction audio guides organized in a suggested order. You can listen before your tour to plan which attractions interest you most, or play them as you arrive at each location. Simply scroll through the playlist, tap any attraction to play its audio guide, and use play/pause controls as needed throughout your tour.

4. Using Your Interactive Map (Link 2 - Google My Maps): Open the Google My Maps link in your web browser - not the Google Maps app. You'll see all attractions marked with headphone icons. Navigate by either tapping directly on any headphone icon on the map, or tapping the tour title below the map to view a complete list of attractions. When you select an attraction, a popup window appears with a clickable link to that location's audio guide.

5. What to Bring & Prepare: Essential items: headphones/earphones, fully charged smartphone, and internet access. Before your visit, review both links to familiarize yourself with the attractions and audio content, then decide your priorities and create your own route or follow our suggested order.

6. Audio Guide Language Selection: Select your preferred audio guide language during booking to guarantee delivery in that language. Language selection cannot be changed after confirmation. If your preferred language isn't available during booking, you can mention it in the Special Requirements section when placing your order. However, this request must be made at least 48 hours before your selected travel date and time. We will make our best effort to prepare your requested language, but please note this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. For the best assurance of receiving your preferred language, always select from the available language options during the booking process.

7. Important Notice - Attraction Fees & Your Responsibilities: While many attractions are free to visit, some may charge fees for special sections, additional services, or general admission. It is your responsibility to check opening hours, closing times, holiday schedules, advance booking requirements, and purchase any necessary admission tickets before visiting each attraction. If you need assistance accessing or using the audio guide, please contact our customer support team.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Halifax Seaport Farmer's Market

Maritime Canada's oldest continuously operating farmer's market becomes your gateway to Halifax's living history, where vendors have traded goods since 1750. Your audio guide reveals fascinating stories of merchant families, wartime rationing tales, and the market's role as a social hub during the city's most pivotal moments. Explore at leisure while learning about traditional Acadian recipes, the significance of local crafts, and how this vibrant marketplace survived devastating fires and economic upheavals. Discover hidden architectural details in the building's design and understand why this market holds such a cherished place in Halifax hearts, making your visit far more meaningful than a simple shopping experience.

The Emigrant Statue

Standing before this powerful bronze tribute, you'll uncover the heart-wrenching stories of Irish families who fled the Great Famine, only to face tragedy on Halifax's shores. Your audio companion reveals exclusive accounts of the 1909 ship disaster, personal letters from survivors, and the remarkable community response that followed. Learn about the statue's symbolic elements, the artist's vision, and why this monument represents hope amid despair. The narration brings to life individual stories of courage, loss, and resilience that official plaques never tell, transforming your encounter with this memorial into a deeply moving experience that honors both the departed and the living.

    I found it very difficlut - actually impossible to connect/do a tour thru your system. For me it was a waste of money.

    This is a podcast of each location. The length of the audio is 15 to 20 minutes at each stop. It's just two people yapping for a total of THREE HOURS. There are some interesting tidbits mixed in, sure, but listening through all of it to find the fun facts is way too long. Probably 90 percent of each spot could be cut out. It's also not GPS activated if you have tried other self guided tours. This one overlays points on Google maps and sends you a link to a Soundcloud playlist and you have to navigate to the spot and play the correct audio file on your own.
