Victor was superb. Retired high school teacher and font of local knowledge - just what you want on any tour. We really enjoyed it. Oh and good route to the top of Halifax without even noticing we were going uphill.

It is disappointing if historical information is not revealed. Our guide spoke more about bars and restaurants than Canadian Nova Scotia history.
