Halifax Churches, Gardens & Graveyards: a Smartphone Audio Walking Tour
Steven_C, Sep 2026
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.

Absolutely amazing!! Emmy was a wonderful, kind and informative guide. Value for money was amazing too, seemed a little expensive when booking, but once we saw the portion sizes and quality of food we were very happy to pay that price. Would definitely recommend, and would do again. Thanks so much Emmy!!

The tour company keeps the numbers small so your guide can speak and all can listen! It’s very personable. Our guide Amanda was amazing. Very knowledgeable about both the food and the history of Halifax. We had a great selection of local delicious food and those with issues were accommodated. My only concern was when I opened each reminder message from you it included lots of symbols (ie.#*

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.

Talia was an incredible guide!
New York City
Halifax Ghost Tour Haunted Downtown and Harbour by Night
Sheila_M, Sep 2026
Talia was an incredible guide!
We learned so much about downtown Halifax with lots of little facts, fun stories and detailed story lines for some famous people, places and events that were weaved in throughout the tour. Talia was an incredible story teller and had a great sense of humour but also compassion and sombreness appropriately applied to some of the more tragic stories of some groups of people and historical events that are intrinsically tied to Halifax and part of its culture still evident today. She even dressed thematically to match her wonderful personality and dramatic flare thats perfect for a Haunted Walk! We are not the most able bodied people but the pace was slow enough for us to have no trouble and Talia had so much information that we never had a dull moment. There was some walking, some standing and some sitting. It was perfect mix with very little uphill walking! Along the way we also got some amazing recommendations for food, drinks and must dos while in Halifax. Lastly, being a cool Sept evening, we ended up as the only 2 people and normally guides cancel if there aren’t a large enough group but not Talia! She said she never cancels because whether it’s 2 or 20, it’s always fun for her and she never would want to disappoint anyone and I believe that! Absolutely amazing value and highly recommend Talia!

A Personalized Tour We’ll Never Forget
We had an amazing private tour of Halifax with our guide, Birhanu! Peggy’s Cove was absolutely beautiful, and the entire day was filled with incredible scenery and interesting places that we would never have known to visit on our own. We came to Halifax knowing we definitely wanted to see Peggy’s Cove, but honestly, we weren’t very prepared with a list of other things to see. Birhanu took care of that! He showed us so much of Halifax, including the Titanic cemetery and the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, the Citadel and shared the history of the Halifax Explosion along the way. His knowledge and stories really brought the area to life.We also loved how relaxed and personalized the tour was. We were free to stop whenever we wanted to take photos and enjoy the scenery, and we never felt rushed. Birhanu even provided fresh fruit and water to help keep us hydrated throughout the day, which was such a thoughtful touch.We enjoyed getting to know Birhanu as well. He was happy to answer our questions about himself and his family, and those conversations made the tour feel much more personal than simply sightseeing with a guide.By the end of the day, we felt like we had gotten to know Birhanu and had become quite fond of him. When it was time to say goodbye, we each gave him a hug — which really says everything about how comfortable and connected we felt after spending the day together.We highly recommend Birhanu for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and personable guide. He gave us a wonderful introduction to Halifax and made our day truly memorable!
