Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour

anita4PSU, Sep 2026

Halifax Harbor Hopper September 2, 2026

Since the ship also has excursions through Harbor Hopper, we were given incorrect information as to where to meet the hopper. It was a few blocks away on the boardwalk so we had to hustle. They filled our hopper because we were late (rightly so) but they were kind enough to honor our tickets and get us on the next one. We had an excellent driver and guide (she spoke too fast at times). Highly recommend this tour.

Fun E-Bike tour of Halifax

What a nice ride around Halifax! Lucy and Elliott led a great tour, and were very friendly. The bikes were easy to operate and had plenty of power to help on the few steep hills. A few highlights include the Public Gardens, The Citadel, and Point Pleasant Park. The bikes had panniers for our gear, which was appreciated. Helmets are provided, as well as a bottle of water for the ride.

Two of us took the tour. I have done it before but the other person had not. It was a nice day so that made it more enjoyable. The tour covers all the downtown sites. The guide was friendly and informative.

Great water tour in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

We had a fantastic experience!! The guide is very experienced, scientifically knowledgeable, and very witty! He entertained us and informed us. He and his wife were very courteous and professional and he extended the tour just to show us a few extra things. We would highly recommend them for your trip to Lunenburg!

Small Group Tour – Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley

Avery_L, Sep 2026

Great tour

Great tour that covered a lot of ground in one day. We could have spent more time in Lunenburg. Restaurants were busy as multiple buses arrived at the same time but we found a nice place to eat and went on the Bluenose. Ending in Wolfville at the winery was a great conclusion to the tour. Would recommend.

Best of Halifax 3 Hr Ebike Tour with Tour Guide

Elena_P, Sep 2026

Wonderful tour with Elliot

Rain or shine, it was effortless and fun to tour with the Ebikes once you understand how to work the Ebike assist and the gears. It was fun, we learned so much about Halifax Nova Scotia and Elliot was very detailed oriented, patient and kind. At one point my husband accidentally left his iPhone at the Public Gardens Uncommon Coffee House. Elliot remained calm, cool, and collected about the situation and after the Citidal tour helped us get back to the Public Gardens Uncommkn Coffee House to find my husband's cell phone and luckily it was recovered thanks to the Canadian people's honest. Thank you Elliot! Terry and Elena
