Why not combine our two most popular tours into one? See the sights of the historic port city of Halifax and then take in the famous breathtaking sights of Peggy's Cove.
Our tour would commence from Pier 21 with its Historic block as the "Ellis Island" of Canada, where more than one million immigrants came through and more than 500,000 left from during WWII.
From there we will visit St. Paul's Church, the oldest Anglican church in Canada. As well, St. Paul's Church was among some of the buildings that withstood the Great Halifax Explosion of 1917. We will drive on to Fort Needham Hill where a memorial carillon was built for the victims of that explosion. Then we'll be on to Canada's most famous lighthouse.
Peggy's Cove is one of the most unique, captivating and exhilarating eye-openers in Nova Scotia. The quaint seaside hamlets of Shad Bay, Big Lake, East Dover and West Dover, to mention but a few, are also breathtaking.

5.00Johnathan was very enjoyable. Time management needed some improvement . Not through his fault but the fault of two people who didn't manage their cruise departure time properly cost the rest of us an opportunity to do a couple of things on our time with johnathan

5.00Jonathan conducted a wonderful, informative tour. He is a gifted teacher and fantastic example of a Halifax citizen. Judy also did an excellent job at staying in touch and arranging the necessary details. I highly recommend this tour!
Not a private tour. Save your money!

1.00This is not a private tour. If you want to take a tour with 30+ other people, save some money and book directly with the cruise line. Not what we were told by the tour operator. Very poor experience on this tour.
