Nova Scotia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Chuck was an amazingly knowledgeable, patient and accommodating as our guide. Can’t recommend him enough!

A wonderful and informative day with Agnes. She shared lots of stories , had a good local knowledge and had a friendly , pleasant nature. She gave clear instructions on timings and shared some of her favourite places enroute.

Was a great day with Agnis. Knew her stuff. Much appreciated her knowledge of the whole tour. Recommend to others

the trip around the harbor was enjoyable even if the weather was a little off. Music was good. crew was good.

Very informative & well organized.

Kim & James were very.knowledgable and gave us a. Lot of history.of the area. It was a relaxing way to learn some history & see Halifax from a different angle. Very reasonably priced, ad well.

It allows you to go the entire route first, choose what you want to see, then get on another bus to start the hop on/ hop off adventure.

The best excursion we have ever done! We travel a fair bit and take various tours when in a city. We have been to Halifax before and finally got to this tour. We should not have waited so long! We will repeat this tour the next time that we are in Halifax. The driver was fun, experienced and entertaining. Our cocktail creator was really good as well. We were the only two on the tour and I don’t know why anyone would pass on this tour. We were on the water for about two hours and it went by really quickly. The ride is so smooth and the scenery is fantastic. You barely feel like you’re moving. Everything looks so great from the water. Loved that we got to wear captain hats and leis it just added to the fun of a tiki tour! The music was fun also. It was a really fun and relaxing ride around the harbour.

We had a short, pleasant walk from our cruise ship, the Celebrity Silhouette, to the meeting spot for this bike tour. Very comfortable bikes, and best of all we were given ear buds so each person could hear the guide during the entire ride. Elliot was a great guide, patient and did a good job telling us all about the many picturesque spots we stopped at. The ear buds allowed us to hear not only interesting info, but important instructions without having to stop and wait for everyone to gather. Don’t hesitate to book this!

Beautiful drive with a professional, friendly guide/driver. Town is quaint and the lighthouse is cute.

An enjoyable way to view Halifax Harbour.

We enjoyed this tour very much. We saw a seal in the water while on this tour. Small history lesson on Halifax. We did charlottetown, enjoyed it so booked Halifax 😀

This her guide was phenomenal. We had booked a long time ago, but our ship was only a port for short while. Another ship came in that was going to be there for the whole day and he had the opportunity for a much larger group. Instead of canceling us which we have often been canceled at the last minute, the owner took us on a personal tour by himself.

Do to cruise ship activities I could not get to the sailboat company in time to make my sailing. They completely understood and said they would have Cool Destinations issue a refund. I got the refund.

This was an excellent audio tour. The price was right! We were able to use it at our pace. This is great for travelers that would like to go at their own pace and still have the prompts for important sites. The guide was very good!

Everything was great. We enjoyed the wines, we had an amazing driver, and the staff at the wineries were spot on welcoming.
