Lunenburg

The tour starts in downtown Halifax with a 1.5 hour (approximate) drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, considered the finest known example of a British Colonial Era settlement in North America. Settled in 1753, Lunenburg is the second oldest British colony in Canada and home to the world famous tall ship, Bluenose II. Strolling through the streets of Lunenburg will take you back to an era long ago, when most of the inhabitants made their livelihood from the bounty of the sea and home to some of the finest seafood in Canada. See for yourself why this small charming town is one of the most endearing of its kind. You'll have 2:30 hrs. (approximate) to explore the Lunenburg at your leisure and have lunch at one of the town's seafood restaurants.

    A most excellent way to spend a full day exploring Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. Our guide, Jeff, kept us entertained with facts about our destination during the drive and was so knowledgeable about the history of the area that I was inspired to purchase a book in Lunenburg to learn more. Thank you, Jeff.

    We didn’t take the excursion at all. The tour company emailed us less than 24 hours before the excursion date and informed us they couldn’t guarantee us back to the ship on time. That’s past 24 hours cancellation period. I contacted the company and told them we had noted in our booking that we came on the ship. If they thought we couldn’t make it that they should notify us earlier. The person on the phone agreed to refund the money to Viator. We will see if they keep their promise.
