2.00Viator should not put 4 people in a sedan coupe. Three in the back seat was extremely uncomfortable, even more so with the fast driving habit of our tour guide. It was a pretty drive to the Lighthouse, but didn't enjoy it because of being uncomfortable. Visiting the cemetery where the Holocaust deceased are buried was the most interesting part of the tour. I will give our guide credit for his knowledge on the subject. But he was late, arrived 10 minutes after the tour was to begin and we were advised to be there 10 minutes early and we were. In addition, he did not walk up to the terminal like other tour guides did. We had to walk out to parking lot to locate him. After we did, he did not introduce himself. I introduced myself and my 3 traveling partners. In the car he mainly conversed to our male passenger in the front seat. Us 3 women in the back seat was just along for the ride!
Disappointing tour

2.00Our tour itinerary was great however our guide Adnan did not give us any information on our tour. He did not tell us anything and when asking questions we got a simple yes or no answer. We did not learn anything and were just dropped at each location and told to walk around without any explanation. Our guide was simply a driver and not a certified tour guide as described when we booked. It was very disappointing.
Very cordial and easy to...

5.00Peggy’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.

5.00We 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
