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.

Wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Visited many wonderful parts of Halifax. Would recommend for someone wanting to know more about the city
The guide was dry, and we didn't even go into any of the places stated. We just walked by them. Guide couldn't answer too many questions, either (as though the tour is just memorized).
Thanks for your feedback 612Vik , Due to the duration including area covered and cost of this tour we are unable to enter spaces besides the Publlc Gardens . We will give feedback to the guide regarding your experience.
This tour gave us a great background of the history of HalifX and all of Nova Scotia. The walk was not very strenuous and we saw the highlights of Halifax with time to take a break and refresh. The director was knowledgeable,fun, and accommodating to all. I don't recommend this tour for kids. The family in our group needed to leave partway through. Not great fun for most kids.
Thanks Jane for your kind words , the weather was not on our side that day . Our guides Victor and Adrienne have a wealth of knowledge and pride for their city.
Pretty standard tour hitting the highlights downtown. Fog and rain didn't help, but Victor did his best to make this a positive experience. Probably a bit too much walking for young children or those with mobility issues. We lost 50% of our group during the tour.
Thanks so much John the weather was not on our side that day . Victor is so knowledgeable about our city and always as a great anecdote and great pride.
This tour was interesting and helpful and had some good information. I saw a lot of the old areas of Halifax and learned some interesting stories. The tour guide did an OK job. Sometimes he did not elaborate on things as much as I would have liked. And I did catch a couple of errors in his explanations. But for the most part, he did a good job. I do not regret doing it.
Thanks we are glad you found it helpful . Cheers
Fabulous stroll around Halifax leaning the history of the city. Great way to spend a few hours. Highly recommend. Cameron was very knowledgeable and amusing in his commentary. Thank you!
Thanks Sharon we are so glad you and your group enjoyed your time with us .
Duncan was a fantastically knowledgeable and affable guide and host. As a typical American who has a murky knowledge of Canada, he treated my questions about federal and provincial politics, education, immigration policy, and history with aplomb. I could not recommend spending three hours with him more highly. You’ll be glad you did!
