Lunenburg er en havneby på South Shore i Nova Scotia, Canada. Byen blev grundlagt i 1753 og var et af de første britiske forsøg på at bosætte protestanter i Nova Scotia i et forsøg på at fortrænge de franske koloniale romersk-katolske akadiere og indfødte Mi'kmaq. Den gamle bydel Lunenburg er et af kun to bysamfund i Nordamerika udpeget som et UNESCO-verdensarvssted. Anses for at være den bedst overlevende planlagte britiske koloniby i Nordamerika, kan du stadig se de høje skibe fortøjet ud for havnen og høre smedens hammer, mens guidede ture fortæller historier om liv tabt på havet. Lunenburgs gader på havnen er foret med unikke butikker og prisbelønnede restauranter, der blander sig med de velbevarede og farverigt malede historiske hjem, meget af det som et levende museum fra det 18. århundrede.
The Bluenose Lodge er en victoriansk kro. Beliggende ved indgangen til "Old Town", Lunenburg. Denne smagfuldt restaurerede victorianske historiske kro. Kroen blev oprindeligt bygget i 1863 som en enkelt familiebolig for fremtrædende søhandler / bygherrer ved navn Morash & Eisnor. I 1946 blev hjemmet omdannet til en lodge.
Lunenburg Academy blev designet af HH Mott, en velkendt New Brunswick-arkitekt, i 1893. Bygningen stod færdig i 1895 og åbnede for undervisning den 7. november 1895. Den blev bygget som en del af Nova Scotias skift fra et-værelses skolehuse til offentlige akademier. Lunenburg Academy blev registreret som både en provinsarvsejendom og et nationalt historisk sted i 1983. Bygningen er nu den eneste intakte akademiske bygning fra det 19. århundrede, der overlevede i Nova Scotia. Det fungerede kontinuerligt som en pædagogisk bygning fra 1895 indtil marts 2012.
St. John's Anglican Church var den første kirke, der blev oprettet i Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. Det er den anden engelske kirke bygget i Nova Scotia, og er den næstældste tilbageværende protestantiske kirke i nutidens Canada. Tidligt den 1. november 2001 led St. Johns kirke betydelige skader ved brand. Det blev restaureret og genindviet 12. juni 2005.
Besøg fiskerimuseet i Atlanterhavet for at udforske skibe på kajssiden og deres ekstraordinære akvarium og den berømte Bluenose II, en kopi af den oprindelige verdensberømte racerskonnert på bagsiden af den canadiske skilling. )
Mahone Bay er en by langs South Shore i Nova Scotia i Lunenburg County. Byen har været et malerisk turistmål og har for nylig haft et voksende ry som et paradis for iværksættere og forretningsstart. Mahone Bay kan prale af en enkel, men ekstraordinær livsstil. Oplev det hele fra historie til unikke butikker, håndværkere til kulinariske oplevelser langs de farverige og maleriske gader. Mahone Bay, der for nylig blev udnævnt til en af Canadas top ti smukkeste byer af culturetrip.com, er en must-see by, der er berømt for sit perfekte billede af treenighedskirker.
Treenighedskirken er tre fremtrædende kirker: St James 'anglikanske; Johannes Johannes Evangelisk Lutherske; og Trinity United. Det er blevet et ikonisk billede af Nova Scotia, ofte fotograferet og vist på postkort og kalendere.
Nova Scotia er hjemsted for over 160 historiske fyrtårne, men intet fyrtårn er så fotograferet som det i den pulserende fiskerby Peggy's Cove. Peggy's Point Lighthouse blev bygget i 1915 og holder stadig øje med bølgende havbølger og arbejdende hummerbåde. Amble over gigantiske klipper slidt af havet og del i udsigten. Den stenede kystlinje og havvand omkring Peggy's Cove er farlig. Rogue bølger (uforudsigelige, ru bølger) sprøjter ofte op over klipperne, selv på rolige, solrige dage. Hold dig væk fra de våde, mørke klipper og svøm ikke. Den sikreste måde at nyde udsigten på er at sikre, at du går på tørre, hvide klipper.

He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. Very helpful!
Paul is an excellent guide, giving us plenty of time at each stop and providing background information about what we were going to see. I also enjoyed the in-car videos about the Halifax explosion and the story of Gander in 2011; and I now know a lot more about lobsters!
Thank you quiller003 for taking a minute to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore....Ecstatic to hear you had a Memorable Tour of this Unforgettable Province...Merci Beaucoup for your kind words
Excellent trip experience overall! Our guide and driver, Paul, did a fantastic job organizing everything flawlessly. He was professional, punctual, very considerate, and made the journey incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommended to solo travellers who wish to explore the charm of Peggy's Cove and Lunenberg but can't drive by themselves.

Paul meet us at the cruise ship pier for an easy start to our day. We loved Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. Paul drove along the delightful seashore for part of the distance between Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Paul was knowledgeable and told great stories.

Thank you Lesa_J for taking a moment to review One of the Two Tours you did with Me....Delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Nova Scotia's Beautiful South Shore including Lunenburg, Mahone bay & Peggy's Cove...Merci Beaucoup for your kind words...
The tour was relaxing and illuminating. We got to see Peggy's Cove at a time when the massive cruise ships and bus loads of tourists weren't there. It was very windy, but quiet and we could walk around. You get a sense of the power of North Atlantic. Only six other people were there before us and we were able to get the money shot of the lighthouse without anyone else around. The town itself was graphic. Paul played us documentaries of the Titanic sinking (new evidence it was caused by a fire burning before it sailed) and of the 1917 Halifax Explosion as we drove to the different locations. He also gave a restaurant recommendation at Lunenburg. Paul showed us some of the main sites, suggested photographic shots, and gave us a couple of hours to explore and get lunch. Finally, we drove to Mahone Bay to see the three churches. Paul is very knowledgeable, helpful and up front. I've been on tours where the guides gave information that was not exact or misleading. He communicated clearly and followed up. Paul knows his history and I recommend taking one of his tours.
Thank you Maria M for taking a moment to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Delighted to hear you had Memorable Tour of some of Nova Scotia's Most Iconic Towns...Merci Beaucoup for your VERY kind words...
A wonderful day out, lucky enough to be just us that day. Paul was informative, helpful and full of local and historical knowledge. There was so much I didn't know about or realise about Halifax and the surrounding area. Even though the weather was horrendous the day we went along the south shore he did all he could to accommodate me being able to take pictures and see the coastal road. I understand he does historical tours around the city and just wish I had enough time to be able to have done this - well a good excuse to come back and visit.
Thank you Tanya E for taking a moment to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Sorry about the weather BUT Happy to hear you still had a wonderful day despite the conditions...Hope to see you again in the Future...Merci Beaucoup for your VERY kind words..
Trip involved a long van ride in traffic and road construction. We got off late because driver waited on a tardy couple and shortened trip as one party had an early on board time. Too many ships at same time and most places were packed so we just drove around and took photos from van. Return via coastal road was behind a school bus. Driver was nice.
Thank you Robert_M for taking a minute to review your Tour Of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Sorry you didn't enjoy your Tour Experience it wasn't much fun for me either due to the points you have made....Unfortunately it seems you have blamed me for things that are out of my control...#1 Long Drive...Yes it is a long Drive to Lunenburg an hour plus with NO ISSUES which we did first to keep you away for the Cruise Bus Crowds as October 22, 2025 there where Three Cruise Vessels visiting Halifax and that worked out fine and you had lots of time for Lunch & Sightseeing before the Buses showed up...**There are Three days in October where there are Six Vessel visiting Halifax and agreed that is WAY TO MANY VESSELS in One Day** and then the drive to Peggy's Cove again along the Coast is also a hour plus nothing I can do about these Two Towns/Village are NOT side by side also Traffic and Road Construction again out of my Control...#2 The Tardy Couple where on your same Cruise Vessel that you where on and was Tendered in the Harbour and again I have to give the Guests some Grace time to get to Shore and Yes Tender Guests can be a Logistic Nightmare...#3 Yes some guests on other Cruise Vessels had to be back before You BUT I got them back in Time again I don't make the Port Call Times I wish I did because they ALL would have more significant time in Halifax...#4 Having to follow a School Bus that was dropping off Children on a road with No passing Lanes again out of my Control....Also the Tour was not shortened it was the Full Six plus hours as we started at 9.30 AM and Finished at 4.30 PM and Yes I did cut some corners due to the issues you have mentioned...The only part of this review that I had control of was "Driver was Nice"...Thank you for that!!!
One of the few tours that offers both the very touristy village of Peggy’s Cove and the even more beautiful one of Lunenburg without forgetting Mahone Bay. Visit times at each stage are perfect. Videos during the trip are a plus.
