Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy’s Cove and Titanic Cemetery
Deborah_W, Sep 2026
Superior Small Group Tour
Anchor Tour's Nilah Shea takes you on an insightful look at Halifax history and favorite attractions while avoiding the herd experience of most tours. From a comfortably appointed van, you will enjoy the best of Peggy's Cove, the Titanic cemetery and other sights in the surrounding areas. Nilah is well grounded in the locational history and an excellent driver. (greatly appreciated around the Tour bus hordes!) Highly recommended for value and a quality experience. They even found a lost phone and returned it by another of their guides. Thank you Justine!

Peggy's Cove express tour
Choose Iqbal for this tour. He was knowledgeable friendly and treated us like family. He gave us history of this area including its connection with the Titanic. He shared his knowledge as if we 4 were sitting at his dining room table and hearing about the area. You would have thought he grew up here. The hour drive each way was beautiful and enjoyable as we learned about it. He also shared his journey to the area which was also very interesting. Peggy's cove was fun to explore in our 2 hours of free time we had before returning. The lunch of lobster roll and home made chips he recommended at Tom's was great too!

Super-fun Way to Explore the City
We love to Segway when we go to different cities if it is available. It's a super-fun way to explore a city. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area, and the headsets were great to ensure we heard all she had to say. The trip to the Citadel to see and hear the firing of the canon and see the changing of the guard alone were worth the trip. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Day Spent Exploring the South Shore
Paul was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He picked us up at our hotel right on time and was open and friendly. He pointed out various sites and gave a little history lesson about each. At each stop we had plenty of time to explore and do our own thing. He also recommended some restaurants while we were in Lunenberg, which we took and were not disappointed. My husband discovered after we were dropped back at our hotel that he may have lost something important in the van, and when I texted Paul, he pulled over, found the item and promptly delivered it to us at our hotel. Top notch service and would highly recommend.

Windy, but wonderful...
Windy, but wonderful drive out to Peggy’s Cove. Lighthouse was fun to walk out to. Fishing boats, colorful homes along the harbor, and a long horn being played by a costumed character. I had forgotten about the Swiss Air disaster, but very touched by some momentos left by families of those killed in crash. The Titanic cemetery never fails to be impressive when you think of the mistakes that lead to all the lives lost. Great driver with lots of knowledge about the area.

Halifax Summer Breeze Sail

Perfect way to get on the water.
Easy to find, easy to board, easy to enjoy! We loved our sail. It was a beautiful day, the crew was kind and friendly and the captain was very attentive to his job. The complementary drinks were great, the small number of passengers led to delightful conversation. I would happily go again and again. I did wish for a small amount of commentary about the coast as we sailed (not a full historical tour, just a bit a of knowledge sharing), I do realize each person might wish for something different and this is no way took away from the experience- I just love to Know Things!
