About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- travelsinger970 contributionsA must do!We had the best time exploring this area as a shore excursion on a recent cruise. We loved it! Peggy’s Cove and the titanic cemetery was amazing to seeWritten January 25, 2025
- 789herbt0 contributionsGreat Private TourBecause of last minute changes by the cruise line we did not have standard hours so tour company went beyond their promises and gave the four of us what amounted to a private tour for our two couples. We ran before the other ships arrived so we didn't have to wait on line or fight crowds. This was such a good way to do it that I suggest it is worth paying the extra for a private tour.Written November 26, 2024
- beckybQ1439JP0 contributionsHighlight of our tripThis was a great tour. Peggy's Cove was beautiful. The bus ride was good and we had a great tour guide. The narrative along the way was informative. I highly recommend this tour!Written October 30, 2024
- V7659PKlinal0 contributionsBreath taking views .When visiting Halifax , a must to visit Peggy’s cove !!! Breathe taking views. We had decided to take a private tour by Uber . So glad we had the opportunity to discover Peggie’s cove , a wonderful experience, don’t miss it .Written October 30, 2024
- theriegerzone0 contributionsCompletely satusfied!Outstanding! Informative and interesting guide. Vehicle was comfortable and we had sufficient breaks for snacks and bathroom. We were satisfied with all!Written October 28, 2024
- 908hectors0 contributionsPeggy's CoveOur tour guide was Jonathan and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our time at Peggy's Cove, the great restaurant that he took us for lunch. The lobster roll and the seafood chowder were delicious. Great information at Fairview cemetery regarding the Titanic victims. A 5 star tour thanks to Jonathan! HwctorWritten October 21, 2024
- jaxops0 contributionsBEAUTIFUL SCENERYA bit of a ride on a very comfortable bus to Peggy's Cove. A really pleasant spot with striking scenery. You can't take a bad photo here! Unfortunately it was very crowded, probably from both the cruise ships in port and the great weather. Well worth the visit!Written October 21, 2024
- CdnMink0 contributionsOver hyped iconIf your near here slide by for a brief look, once. The place was crawling with people even in mid sept and it's just a white lighthouse on a rock. The biggest thing I got out of it was the scenic views and how bare the rock was. The bare rock told me that when storms get up at this location the wave action must be truly wicked! THAT would be worth a 2nd visit, if it was open! Glad we went, once.Written October 19, 2024
- Bcspaqueen0 contributionsFabulous tourJonathan was a fantastic tour guide who made sure all of our group had a wonderful experience! He is very knowledgeable about everything on the island. We were on a cruise and many in our group said this tour was their favorite. We enjoyed The Public Gardens, the information at Fairview Cemetery about the Titanic victims and especially our time at Peggy’s Cove. We were able to see so much of the island in the short amount of time we had. I highly recommend this tour!Written October 18, 2024

- cherylsS4613HL0 contributionsExcellent Tour of Halifax and Peggy's CoveWe had a fantastic tour of Halifax, the Public Gardens, the Fairview Lawn Titanic Cemetery, and Peggy's Cove. Our guide Johnathan was excellent and very entertaining. He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts and stories. Highly recommend!Written October 16, 2024
- robbR3121DS0 contributionsPeggy’sCove and Titanic CemetaryVery reasonably priced. Great value for your dollar Jonathan our guide was amazing. He very informative educating us as we toured different areas. Very friendly, kind, patient and accommodating with all the passengers. Thank you Jonathan for an amazing dayWritten October 14, 2024
- 77ToniF770 contributionsGreat tour but you will overpay for what you getI give this a 3 only because I think you pay too much for what you actually get. We were lucky to get a private tour, however it was not requested. We drove around to various sites as detailed and since it was a private tour it left of some flexibility to stay longer or skip a site to make the trip suite our wants. There were 5 of us and for what you see for this price, you are better off renting a car and doing the tour yourself. Some sites didn’t seem like an attraction other than to have them included for the sake of sounding you were seeing a lot of sites. Sure the stories from our guide were great but the history of some of these sites are found on the web as well. Our guide/driver was wonderful and friendly but in general, I wish I knew what we were in for as $159 per person is not worth it. Non of the sites cost money other than if you chose to enter the Citadel with is $9 for adults and free for kids. You are paying $159 per person to be driven around for 5 hours. That was closer to $800 for the 5 of us and we were cutting it close with time in the end, this running an addition charge.Written October 13, 2024
- X3750KDmichaelm0 contributionsNeeded a better guide.The scenery and stops were great but the guide seriously detracted from the experience. Constantly starting and then stopping narration mid-sentence then repeating over and over again. She was often distracted by routine events that disrupted the stories. She needs scripted narration if she is to add any value.Written October 11, 2024
- 49barbw0 contributionsSo-so day trip in HalifaxThe day was sunny and pleasant and started off well. Bus was clean and driver, Kelly, was a lovely gal. Drove well and we felt very safe and comfortable. Sadly, the tour itself, from a tour guide point of view was not very good at all. The guide was a friendly gal. However, she didn’t appear to know her history, was extremely forgetful during telling an information piece and was extremely repetitive. Peggy’s Cove was lovely. But again, information provided wasn’t good and we got more information from the internet ourselves. On the return trip most stories had little to do with the trip and sites we’d seen. We won’t recommend this tour group.Written October 10, 2024

OCEAN view is wonderful. Lots to see and do in the area. An assortment of restaurants and tourist sites. Ample parking in most areas. Food prices vary depending on the restaurant. Markets and stores available as an alternative.

We booked the full day Peggy Cove , UNESCO Heritage town of Lunenberg and picturesque Mahoney Bay. Our tour guide Johnathan brightened up our dull rainy and windy November day with his lighthearted tour commentary during this well timed six hour trip. This is a good value added tour because it not only brings you to the infamous Peggy’s Cove, but encompasses the two not to be missed early settlements townships of Nova Scotia.

We really enjoyed our tour of Peggy's Cove Mahone Bay & Lunenberg with Jonathan. He was really amazing, very polite, professional, informative and kept us entertained.
He went out of his way to make sure my wife who had a fractured leg comfortable.
We had a wonderful time and would definitely reach out to him on our next trip.
I would highly recommend him anyone who needs his services, you will not be dissatisfied or disappointed.
Thanks for the great time Jonathan.

I actually unexpectedly had to cancel day of. Jonathan was a dream to work with to make the administrative changes. You could tell just from the personal touch and understanding that this is the type of small business owner you would want to support. He puts his heart into his business and reflects the friendly East Coast values we all love. Thank you!!

Absolutely fantastic trip! There was no way I could find a rental during my trip and this was such a fantastic alternative! Jonathan gave us an excellent tour, highlighted all the best areas (especially some amazing out of the way spaces) and really personalized the experience for us. Truly appreciated the relaxed atmosphere of the trip and getting to see even more than expected. 100% would do this tour again for my next trip.

Peggy’s cove is beautiful and not to miss. But if you have time and a car stop in at Cove Gallery. 20 Irwin Hubley rd. This gallery contains one very talented man’s life’s work. Paintings, carvings, jewelry. It is out of this world. Majestic, understated and he captures the essence of the ocean and those that live by it. A must see.

Booked this tour semi-last minute and it was a highlight of the trip! Jonathan was very knowledgeable and made the entire day enjoyable. The group was small so at times it felt like a private tour; we were able to extend stays and add stops based on our group's preferences. All three stops were gorgeous. 10/10 recommend seeing these sites when you're in Halifax and using this company to see them!

Wow a trip can be wonderful if the guide is fun . Jonathan made Lunenberg beautiful & Dont forget to eat the lobster roll near the Peggy's cove ..choose a day which is less foggy to enjoy the best views of lunenberg and Mahone Bay ... If possible book a Lunenberg whale watching tour (which we missed ) ..

A fun and informative day trip! Our guide Jonathan was great. He was very funny, flexible in the schedule (especially when weather got bad), and able to make some good recommendations for things to see and places to eat. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take in the numerous sites. All in all, a great tour.

I'd love to book this excursion, but our cruise ship will dock in Charlottetown on 10/16. Is it possible to get picked up at that cruise terminal?
Written June 24, 2022
You will need to check with the tour operator. We were staying in Halifax when we went on this excursion. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi, I'm wondering if lunch is included or if there is a place that we stop at.
Written August 14, 2021
Do any stops begin near the cruise ship terminal? In other words, can this trip begin near cruise ships, or does one only join this trip once a person is already in Peggy’s Cove or Mahone Bay or Lunenburg?
Thanks
