Peggy’s Cove lighthouse is an unforgettable destination and most tourists will go there. Worth the crowds! My son had a blast climbing the boulders. The citadel was a bigger surprise. Delightful fort staffed well with reenactment soldiers and a true museum.

We booked this tour following previous reviews, booking and further communication was seamless. We received a booking confirmation, with pickup time confirmed by what's App and email. Our guide [the fountain of knowledge named Al] was already waiting for us at dockside with a name card. Al's commentary begun as soon as we got into the vehicle, explaining the plan for the day. Al took us to parts of Halifax that you wouldn't see with a tour bus, he also planned thd route the avoid the other tour parties. Each stop that we made was accompanied by Al's in depth commentary, and allowed plenty of time at each stop to take photos and have time to ourselves. This was a tour that we would rate is 10 out of 10 , Al our guide was laid back, polite, patient, a safe driver and nothing was a bother to him. We would highly recommend this tour , we have a great day out , picked up at 10:30am ish and dropped us back at the boardwalk around 15:30pm A top day out by top guide/guy Al made our shortened cruise (due to Hurricane Erin) even better. And top marks to Al for understanding our strong Scottish accent 😃👍 A great personalised tour Many thanks Stuart and Yvonne Dalgety Bay Fife. Scotland August 2025 Enchanted Princess
