Rejseplan
Med din lokale guide skal du gå ind i de ældste victorianske haver i Canada gennem hovedportene. Inde i haven vil din guide forklare historien og monumenterne, der findes indeni. Fritid vil også blive givet til at udforske din kendte.
The Old Burying Ground er Halifax' ældste kirkegård, grundlagt i 1749. Din rute vil tage dig forbi stedet med restaurerede gravsten, det eneste Krimkrigsmindesmærke i Nordamerika og interessante fortællinger om dem, der er lagt til hvile.
Giv en imponerende udsigt over Halifax centrum og havnen, gå til toppen af citadellet og slutt dig til din guide, mens de forklarer vigtigheden af Halifax som et militært etablissement og vigtigheden af citadellet. Fantastisk fotomulighed. Denne tur går ikke ind i Citadel National Historic Site.
St. Paul's blev grundlagt i 1749 og er den ældste anglikanske kirke i Canada, såvel som den ældste bygning i Halifax. Fra Grand Parade vil din guide forklare dens forbindelse til Halifax-eksplosionen.
Din guide stopper ved denne historiske militærparadeplads, der stammer fra grundlæggelsen af Halifax i 1749. I den nordlige ende af Grand Parade er Halifax Rådhus, sæde for kommunale myndigheder i Nova Scotias Halifax Regional Municipality. I den sydlige ende ligger Sankt Pauls Kirke. Midt i Grand Parade er cenotafen bygget oprindeligt for at mindes de soldater, der tjente i Første Verdenskrig, Anden Verdenskrig og Koreakrigen. Din guide vil også bruge denne tid på at tale om Halifax-eksplosionen, den værste menneskeskabte eksplosion før Anden Verdenskrigs bombning i Japan.
Bygget mellem 1817-1819, Province House er Canadas længst fungerende lovgivende bygning i Canada. Strukturen betragtes som et af de fineste eksempler på palladisk arkitektur i Nordamerika. Det er også stedet for en berømt retssag i 1835, som førte til pressefrihed i Canada. Din guide vil give detaljer om de unikke begivenheder, der har fundet sted i provinser og de mennesker, der har styret Nova Scotia.
The Old Town Clock er et af Halifaxs mest berømte vartegn. Konstrueret til at give den lokale garnison den korrekte tid, har den hjulpet haligonierne med at holde til tiden siden 1803. Din rute fra Citadel Hill vil tage dig forbi urets fortrin.

I really enjoyed getting a layout of the city and learning so much in a few hours. It's perfect to walk around and then go about doing your own things with great recommendations from the guide.
Hi Matthew We are glad you enjoyed the tour . Thanks for visiting our city !
Our guide Duncan was prompt, friendly and full of information. This is a really good tour for orientation and worth doing at the start of your trip. Duncan also pointed out various other sites which we could visit at our leisure. By coincidence, the next day, we bumped into Duncan while visiting Peggy’s Cove. It was like meeting an old friend.

Very interesting walking tour. Andrienne was a very inyeresting, knowledgeable guide. Covered a total of 2.5 miles, mostly flat but a couple areas of stairs/hills. Bathrooms available at midpoint. Wished we could have taken 10 minutes to pop in a shop or two, but this was a shopping excursion. Halifax is a beautiful city with lots of history.
Thanks for joining us Judy . Hopefully you got to check out some waterfront shops on the way back to your start point. We will surely send your review back to Adrienne
Adrien imparted a wealth of interesting historical facts and stories about Halifax. The meeting place was very easy for cruisers and she led us us in a (mostly) gradual path through the city to the Citadel with a fabulous view of the city and harbor. She was very cognizant of participants comfort — stopping in shade and waiting for stragglers.
