Impressive tour
This has been one of our favorite tours of our trip. Mr Zuber our tour guide was wonderful. He knew so much about the history of our destination, as well as the history of Halifax, and of Canada in general. He took great care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed him. If I were to book another tour in Halifax I would request Mr Zuber. Ten stars!!

How to love Halifax
What a difference a great driver makes. He was so kind, and explained everything. We changed where we wanted to go, he took us everywhere and got out with us to show us where to go, he shared all his knowledge about halifax, and went way over the time slot. A very clean car too! Mr Pratik was a wonderful driver and guide!!! Thank you for making our day in halifax a great one!

Great tour!
The tour narrative is informative, entertaining, and just the right length at each stop. We experienced a glitch or two with the app, but our overall experience with the app was good. The tour took us close to three hours to complete (interest in the tour content combined with slow walkers!). I would definitely recommend and would take additional tours offered by this creator/operator.

We did a tour with Bruce while visiting Halifax on a cruise, and it was such a great experience! When we came off the ship, he was waiting for us with an umbrella because it was pouring rain and extremely windy.Bruce picked us up in a comfortable van and took us to many different places throughout Halifax, explaining the history and significance of each stop along the way. Because of the weather, there were times when getting out wasn’t ideal, so he would roll down the window and make sure we could still get a great photo. He knew all the best photo spots and even gave us tips on how to capture the perfect picture!We ended our tour at Peggy’s Cove, where we had about an hour to explore. It was the perfect amount of time to see the lighthouse, walk around, visit a few shops, and grab something to eat.Bruce made sure we were back at the cruise port with plenty of time before we needed to board the ship, which gave us peace of mind.If you love sightseeing and taking photos, this is definitely the tour for you. Bruce was knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the most of a very rainy and windy day. Highly recommend!

Take a Walk! Great Experience
What a great way to leisurely see points of interest and learn things at one’s own pace. There was free street parking near the starting point. The “guide” provided interesting facts along the way, and we saw some things that we would have missed otherwise. The Public Gardens are phenomenal. P.S. We are boomers and found the audio your tour to be very user friendly to download, set up, and use.

Recommend this Wine Tour!
Not sure why I didn't find this wine tour on my first search for Halifax tours but happy it showed up when I searched later. The wine country is really pretty, the wine tasty, and we learned we like sweeter wines. Stephanie did a great job of coordinating the tour so that we knew exactly where to meet her at the port. Her background in wine was very helpful in explaining the Halifax wine industry. The drive was beautiful and the conversation great. We had seen Peggys Cove so were happy to find something less touristy. Recommend this tour!

Our favorite part of the tour was Peggy’s Cove. It is a charming fishing village with a wonderful historic lighthouse. We also enjoyed the public gardens. The flowers were beautiful even through the pouring rain. The citadel was interesting and our driver timed it so we were there for the firing of the cannon at noon as well as changing of the guard and the playing of the bagpipes. We had a great tour.
