I have done this day trip on my last full day of a Trans-Canada trip and couldn't have wishes for a better conclusion. Evan was a super guide (and driver), providing us with a lot of interesting information and tips about what to look at/try out during the day. I greatly enjoyed the scenery at Peggy's Cove, the charming atmosphere of Lunenburg and nature in the Annapolis Valley. We have also made several small stops at interesting sites along our way. Everything was as advertised online and the size of our group was super compact. I recommend this trip (and company) wholeheartedly.

What an amazing tour it was! Hannah was the greatest tour guide one can have-such a nice person! She made the long ride really entertaining by being very chatty and interested in everyone’s story. We stopped at many beautiful places and being such a small group made it very intimate and fun. Thanks for this great adventure! Would do it again anytime!
Very very positive experience!

Full day touring quite a large part of Nova Scotia. Scenic drive between the different stops. Great opportunity to witness the change in colours of the trees in the autumn. The day was well balanced between driving time and visiting times. Our guide Evan was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the region, the fauna and flora, the local food and restaurant scene and many more subjects that filled our conversations during the day. He paced the tour really well, stopping at places that were planned in the tour description, but also stopping at lovely cafés and shops on the way for a taste of local products. He gave us options for places to visit depending on individual participants' tastes during the tour and kindly shared great ideas to continue exploring Halifax after the tour. Altogether a very pleasant day and a safe drive to lovely spots in this part of Nova Scotia! Thank you Evan for being such a highly motivated and enlightening guide!

Unethical company

We were on a cruise and had this tour booked. We were notified by the ship the day before that we would go ashore in tenders and ours was scheduled after the tour was to depart. I notified the tour of this but said we would attempt to get on an earlier tender and was successful in doing so. We caught a cab and made it to the designated pick up point 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. We waited 20 minutes to be picked up then went into the hotel and they gave us internet connection to contact the tour company. They, the tour company , assumed I would not get to the pickup point and gave our seats to someone else and refused to give us a refund. We met our obligations and arrived at their designated spot on time. They say they tried to contact us but we had no internet connection due to our rush getting off the ship. We did our part they did not do theirs and then penalized use for their error. Avoid this unethical company at all cost!

Great tour. So many awesome stops and doing this during the turn of the leaves was a particular highlight as every drive became a stunning sight. Lots to do and an extremely informative guide (thanks so much Evan!). Loved it. Lunenberg, Peggy's cove and the valley near wolfville are all worth seeking out!

Our tour with Alternatives Routes was great! Our tour leader, Hannah, facilitated a comfortable atmosphere. She made sure everyone in our small group was heard. She did not overwhelm with commentary, which allowed time to enjoy the views I highly recommend this tour!

Overall, the tour was very good. There was a little too much driving without at least a quick stop. The tour guide was very nice but lacked experience with interesting historical facts.
Awesome day trip

The tour was well thought out and Evan was an expert guide and mindful driver! A great tour to get a taste of Nova Scotia. I learned so much! Also, the tour was perfect for solo travelers! Just the right balance of group bonding and personal exploration of the tour spots.
