Lunenburg is a beautiful coastal town and you could spend more hours there than your day tour... read more
We were in port for one day on a Canadian Cruise. Doug picked us up early right outside the terminal. We packed in a ton of sights, meet some great local people and had a fantastic local lunch. Doug was so easy to talk to and you felt like you were spending the day with an old friend. We toured the beautiful coastline, the Titanic cemetery, the Citadel, and my favorite Peggy's Cove. Also, a great lunch at The Finer Diner. I recommend this tour for anyone.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us and the local area around Halifax, Nova Scotia.
We were on a cruise and stopped here for the day. We spent the day with Doug. Titanic cemetery, we stopped at a lady’s home she has an art gallery and allows people to take pictures on her dock. She was a very kind women and it was a delight to meet her. Then we went to Ivan’s home. Ivan is an author, painter and all round great guy. Then we went to a little local place for lunch Lobster rolls of course. Peggy’s cove and a little touring after lunch to complete my favourite port of the New England cruise. Doug had the day all planned stopped when we wanted him to, (for pictures) He ate lunch with us we were a group of 6. To make this tour exceptional I would get a bigger vehicle. A mini van for 6 adults plus the driver is just to crowded and uncomfortable.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We appreciate your email and we do have seven passenger SUV’s plus the driver. We are very pleased you enjoyed your tour experience with us.
Met at the dock with a "pink sign" as promised. Only surprise was the vehicle--a taxi as the tours are associated with Casino taxi. The tour covers the highlights of Halifax including a trip to Peggy's Cove where we had lunch. Lot's to see and a lot of opportunities to take pictures. Our guide was not a Halifax native but had a reasonable knowledge of the history and highlights.
Thank you for your review. All of our drivers operate their own taxi or limousine. Halifax Tour Guys trains all of our driver/tour guides to do the listed tours on our website ourselves. They all have many years of experience in the industry and are very good at their jobs.

We were picked up at the cruise ship port by Al. Al was a fantastic tour guide. He took us all around Halifax, the Citadel, the Titanic Cemetery, then out to Acadia Maple Products, then out to Peggy's Cove. He recommended a great little restaurant to eat lunch. He had a step stool for my mom to get in and out of his mini van. This was invaluable due to her mobility issues. Al is a wealth of knowledge about the area. He's a native and knew so much. We really enjoyed our day with Al. Highly recommend this tour with him.
Thank you for your wonderful review . We are so very happy you enjoyed your tour with Al.
I want to send a sincere THANK YOU to you all and to Al the guide/driver we had! We had a great time with him, he was very professional and we never felt rushed at the Swiss Air 111 memorial for my girlfriend's aunt, he even helped us find her name!!! To my understanding Al is a native to the Halifax area and his love, knowledge and appreciation definitely shows! My 81 year young mother has a hard time getting around sometimes especially when it's cold and rainy as it was and I thank Al for his help with her. Again Al, THANK YOU from Trent, Sofia, my mom Barbara, and my cousin Keith for everything including the fabulous local lunch spot and its connection to Flight 111... I will highly recommend you all to anyone!!!
Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your tour experience in Halifax.
We were pick up at the dock after we got off the cruise ship. Met by Terry Jesty and proceeded on our tour. Terry was very informative and personable. Toured the town of Halifax including the gardens and the cemetery where the Titanic people are buried. Proceeded to visit the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. It was raining the entire time we were there but we still enjoyed the fall color. I would recommend Halifax Tour Guys if you want a tour of Halifax.
We are glad you enjoyed your tour experience despite our weather in Halifax. Thank you so much for your review.
