Din eventyrlige dag begynder med en naturskøn køretur til Peggy's Cove. Beliggende omkring en times kørsel fra Halifax, er Peggy's Cove en malerisk fiskerby med masser at se og gøre. Mens du kører op til Peggy's Cove, over 160 historiske fyrtårne placeret på tværs af provinsen Nova Scotia, er ingen mere kendt, mere besøgt og sandsynligvis mere fotograferet end Peggy's Point Lighthouse, der ligger i den maleriske fiskerlandsby Peggy's Cove. Fyrtårnet blev bygget for over et århundrede siden og står højt blandt enorme granitblokke og det kraftige Atlanterhavs brusende bølger. Brug tid på at udforske de naturskønne omgivelser, før du tager til den charmerende, aktive fiskerlandsby nedenfor, hvor du finder butikker, spisesteder, William de-Garthe Art Gallery og meget mere. Et besøg i Nova Scotia er ikke komplet uden et besøg i Peggy's Cove
Swissair Flight 111 (SR111/SWR111) var en planlagt international passagerflyvning fra John F. Kennedy International Airport i New York City, USA, til Cointrin Airport i Geneve, Schweiz. Flyet var også en codeshare-flyvning med Delta Air Lines. Den 2. september 1998 styrtede McDonnell Douglas MD-11, der udførte denne flyvning, registrering HB-IWF, ned i Atlanterhavet sydvest for Halifax Stanfield International Airport ved indgangen til St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. Ulykkesstedet var 8 kilometer (5 mi; 4 nmi) fra kysten, omtrent lige langt fra de små fisker- og turistsamfund i Peggy's Cove og Bayswater, og dræbte alle 229 passagerer og besætning om bord på MD-11, hvilket gjorde styrtet til den dødeligste ulykke. i Swissairs historie og den dødeligste ulykke med McDonnell Douglas MD-11. Det er også den næstdødeligste luftfartsulykke, der er sket i Canada, bag Arrow Air Flight 1285R.
Mahone-bugten og tag et billede af de berømte tre kirker, og tjek måske et par stop. Fortsæt til Lunenburg Historic District. I 1753 blev de fleste af de nye immigranter bragt fra Halifax til Lunenburg, som skulle være centrum for den planlagte bosættelse. De første, der ankom, var dem, der boede i byen Lunenberg og havde landbrugsarealer på hele halvøen, inklusive Mahone Bay. De ankom under ledelse af søfareren Ephraim Cook. De mennesker, der slog sig ned på Lunenburg-halvøen, inklusive den nuværende landsby Mahone Bay, var udenlandske protestanter, som var tyske, schweiziske og Montbéliardais-bosættere.

Everything on time, flexible and very friendly, lucky with the sun. In the Nachsaisin everything is closed (public toilets, restaurants, kiosks), but was not to be expected otherwise.
Thank you for your valuable review. We look forward to welcoming you again in Halifax in the future.
Beautiful scenery. Clean car, courteous driver. Lots of driving with very little stretch time. Peggy’s Cove had ample time to wander/take pictures. UNESCO sites could have used an hour or two to explore. This may have been negotiable before tour had we known. Our driver did pull over to give us quick photo opportunities. He was very gracious.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, comfortable ride, and that our driver made the experience pleasant. We appreciate your helpful suggestions about adding more time at the UNESCO sites — that’s valuable input we’ll consider for future tours. It’s wonderful to know you had a great visit to Peggy’s Cove and enjoyed the photo stops along the way. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
We were traveling on a cruise with my mother who is 86 and cannot walk too far or too fast. Having a personal guide and driver really made the trip not only possible, but enjoyable. Our guide, Neda, picked us up from the pier and was very informative and considerate. She took us to all the major points of interest and did not rush us and let us take our time to soak in the beautiful sights. We so appreciate having Neda take us around and couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your mother enjoyed your tour with Neda. She takes great pride in providing thoughtful and flexible service, and your kind words mean a lot. We’re so glad the experience was comfortable and memorable for your family. Wishing you many more beautiful travels ahead!
Driver was excellent. Very polite and took about of the way to buy some luggage. Car was extremely clean
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience. Our driver will be happy to know you appreciated his helpfulness and professionalism. We’re also glad you found the vehicle clean and comfortable.
We booked this tour because we were going to be in Halifax as a port stop on a cruise. Communication was good so I had high hopes. Our ship docked at one end of the terminal and our driver was at the other end so we had to walk for at least 20 minutes. We met our driver and the car was very comfortable and he provided lots of water. We repeatedly told him what time we had to be back at the ship. All the stops were great. At the last stop in Lunemburg, we again mentioned the time. We walked around for maybe 20 minutes and then went back to the car. When he put the return address in the navigation system, we could see that the return trip was going to be 1 hour and 30 minutes. At the time, we had 45 minutes to get there! When we mentioned this to him, he started going at least 20 km over the speed limit and called, I guess, the owner of the tour company. They decided that as long as we were back by 30 minutes after we said, the ship would wait. They had no idea what they were talking about! We made it back at 2:50 and did not see our ship. We ran through the terminal and then remembered that we had tendered. All of the tour busses had arrived back at the same time so luckily the tender service was behind. We were the last four people on the LAST tender. Do not book this tour if you have time constraints!
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry for the stress you experienced while returning to your ship — we completely understand how concerning that must have been. We would like to clarify that our regular pickup point is located at Pier 20, which is part of the same Halifax Seaport complex as Piers 21 and 22. All three gates are next to each other, and typically it’s only a 5-minute walk between them. We do our best to meet guests as close as possible to their docking pier, but sometimes ship berthing locations and port traffic can cause small variations. We’re glad to hear you found the car comfortable, enjoyed the water provided, and appreciated the tour stops. However, we truly regret that the return timing caused such worry, and we’ve reviewed this situation carefully with our team to ensure better time management for cruise guests in the future. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve and serve our guests better each day.
This tour was a great disappointment The vehicle arrived and was not appropriate for 4 people. The vehicle was dirty The driver was from India and had absolutely no no knowledge of of Halifax and basically talked about himself. He shared no information about Halifax or the sites we visited. The people in the back seat could not understand his accent. We expected a local person who understood the culture and history of Nova Scotio / Halifax. He could just have been a taxi driver. This tour spoiled our entire short day in Canada I have taken other Viator tours which were wonderful in a Mercedes van with interesting and knowledgeable drivers. I feel I deserve a refund. I plan to file a more formal grievance. Signed. Dr R Feldman. 516 476 3986
Dear Dr. Feldman, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your recent tour experience in Halifax did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the issues you mentioned regarding the condition of the vehicle, the guiding experience, and the overall quality of service provided. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially given your limited time in Canada. Please be assured that we take such concerns very seriously, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide our guests. For your tour, we provided a 7-seater SUV (Mitsubishi Outlander), which comfortably accommodates four passengers. Your original booking was for a 5-hour tour covering Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and Mahone Bay. However, as this was a private tour, you requested to adjust the itinerary to Peggy’s Cove and Halifax city, and our driver followed your instructions. We understand that Halifax, being a historical city, requires a knowledgeable guide to provide proper narration and context. Had we known in advance that you wished to focus on the city, we would have arranged for one of our specialized city guides to accompany you. We regret that this was not clarified at the outset, as it may have impacted the quality of your experience. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.
Nice Uber driver, not a tour guide. Arrived in a car too small for 4 adults, wasted an hour switching cars and wanted an additional money at the end to pay for his gas. There was NO narrative, would have been a lot less expensive to hire an Uber driver. Would not recommend this tour company.
Dear Debbie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience with our tour did not meet your expectations. We always strive to provide comfortable vehicles and knowledgeable service, and we regret that this was not how you felt on your tour. For your booking, we initially provided a brand-new Tesla Model 3. When you preferred a larger vehicle, we quickly arranged a premium Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 SUV to ensure your comfort. In addition, although the tour was scheduled for 5 hours, you enjoyed 6 hours and 30 minutes without any extra charge, as we wanted you to have the best possible experience. Regarding gratuities, drivers may accept tips, but they should never request additional payment from guests, and we will certainly look into your concern to ensure clarity and professionalism in the future. We are truly sorry that despite these efforts, the tour still did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to improve our service to better serve our guests.
An excellent stress free tour of Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. Great driver with lotss of local knowledge and the private tour allowed us to customize how much time we spent in each locale.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stress-free tour of Peggy’s Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg. It’s great that the flexibility of a private tour allowed you to spend time the way you wanted in each location, and that your driver’s local knowledge helped make the experience even more memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
We had a great experience in Halifax! We learned a lot and were able to see some amazing sights. It was so nice to have a tour with the 3 in our party and a tour guide who knew so much about the area. We would highly recommend!
We’re so happy you had a great experience in Halifax! Touring with a smaller group really does make the day special, and we’re glad your guide was able to share so much about the area with you. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation—we’d love to see you back again!
Hard to say as people we were with are mobility impaired. We did not go to lunnenburg. Peggycove very nice.

Also car was a bit. small for 4 older people

We understand that every group has different needs, especially when mobility is a concern, and we always aim to adjust the itinerary to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Your input helps us continue to provide a better experience for all our guests.
