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.

    Joel the bus driver was great. The tour operator however woul start a story and stop. Finally heard the entire story of the Christmas tree to Boston!! Talked about a memorial for a plane crash in have no idea where , what side of the bus to look for it. The cemetery we were told there it is get off the bus!! We listened to another tour guide point out interesting facts!!! She spent a lot of time talking to people up front asking questions we would hear an answer and laughter have no idea what they were talking about. Very disappointed. Very confusing finding the tour also in the rain walked back and forth for a while. Peggy's Cove was beautiful again told to get off the bus here we are.

    Noneventful tour. Overpriced meal. Extended time on bus. Save your money. I wouldn’t book this tour again.

  • Completely Unacceptable Experience

    This tour was a complete disappointment and a total waste of time. Boarding was clearly stated to be between 12:00 and 12:30 PM. My friends and I arrived early at 11:50 AM, yet every single seat on the bus was already taken. That means the tour was either oversold or people were allowed to board without tickets — both completely unacceptable. We paid for this experience and never even got a seat. We were offered the option of riding behind the tour bus in a taxi, without a tour guide. This company clearly lacks organization and respect for its paying customers. Avoid this tour at all costs!

    We liked the stops but the guided tour portion was a mess. It started late and the vibes were off from the get go. We were waiting a while for additional passengers and everyone was very antsy because what was supposed to be a 5 hour tour, the guide said we would make it back just in time before our ship was supposed to leave which caused concern. Also would e made it 7 hours! In addition, the guide we had was very disjointed and was not clear with instructions. Meeting places was unclear. She didn't keep us on track and give us way too much time in certain places and not enough in others. The bus driver wasn't helpful either and both seemed to not know what was going on or who was in the group. The guide would start stories and lose her thought and then start talking about the foliage (she mentioned it at least 15 times). A lot of her stories had nothing to do with anything and contradicted historical facts. In reading reviews, it sounds like it's good with Jonathan but if you don't get him - you might be out of luck. At this point, I would e paid extra to get a more private guide.
