If you are looking for those little offbeat but really cool places to see (you know, the ones that the hop on hop off tours don't take you), then this tour is a must! Mike was an amazing tour guide, very chill and very knowledgeable. 1000% recommend this tour!

This was an excellent tour. I thought the owners were accommodating and very pleasant. Mike was an excellent guide and took pains to ensure we had the best experience possible. He showed us things that many tour groups don’t see and offered great recommendations for our free time. He also gave us useful background information while we were en route.

Mike was an incredible tour guide. His knowledge was robust and he was very personable. We learned a lot on our trip. He also has a good strategy for beating the crowds at Peggy’s Cove and had a couple not-on-other-tours locations to make the trip feel special and unique. Highly recommend!

We have done many guided tours all over the world, several of them in Canada. How good a tour is, is largely influenced by the guide and the group, and in this case things just weren’t a good vibe. Pretty much from the start our guide Mike focused his attention on one part of the group, a family from Ontario. He had lived in Ontario before and they pretty much had a private conversation for about 3/4s of the ride. I swear I heard more about Toronto and Ontario than I did about Nova Scotia. In fact we heard very little about the area and if there was any information conveyed at all, it was more about pop culture like celebrity homes or ghost stories than actual information. We had done a tour like this 2 years ago and had learned so much about the history and nature of the area that this tour just left us very disappointed in this regard. I understand that Mike hasn’t been doing this for very long, so I hope there is room for improvement. As the only non-Canadians on this tour we often felt completely excluded as Mike often shifted conversation to his private life or things like property tax and sport teams, which a non-local might not be able to contribute to or have an interest in. Paired with the fact that we were seated all the way in the back and there was no effort made to ever included us in any conversation, we kind of checked out at some point. The tour itself was well planned and the timing for the different destinations is perfect. We arrived in Peggy’s Cove before the tour buses and had the light house almost all to ourselves. We had a good amount of time in Lunenburg and with The Ovens Natural Park Supernova Tours offers a destination no other tour company has on their itinerary. We wished we had a few more minutes there and found it well worth the visit. Mike is also a very safe driver. Overall we were happy with the different stops of the tour, but our guide could have done a better job. We felt like we paid 400$ be a fifth wheel on somebody’s private road trip, which was a disappointing end to our time in Canada.

This was a great way to see sights outside of Halifax proper! Mike was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. He offered sights into Canadian life. I highly recommend this small group tour!
