Pedro, was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure to contact us and let us know the time of his arrival to pick us up at our hotel and was on time to pick us up at Peggy's Cove for our return. During the drive he made sure to tell us the history of Halifax and the surrounding area. We took a scenic route and he pointed out beautiful views along the way. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.
Was amazing, Pedro was very knoledgable regarding the area, explained a bit of history of Halifax and Peggy's Cove. We were only our group of 4 for this activity and it was very pleasant.
Pedro clearly made that small group setting count, and a private feel with local history and Peggy's Cove as the backdrop is a pretty unbeatable combination. 🌊 Sounds like a brilliant day out!
What a great 3 hours. Thank you so much to our tour guide, Emily. Emily was very knowledgeable and engaging. Very friendly and willing to answer questions about Halifax. Peggy's Cove was beautiful. I love a lighthouse, so this was a joy for me. I highly recommend this tour.
Emily's knowledge, warmth and willingness to answer every Halifax question clearly made those three hours fly by, and Peggy's Cove with a lighthouse lover in the group sounds like an absolutely perfect match! 🌊
I had an amazing time. My tour guide, Raman, was very attentive and kind. He showed me all of the beauty that halifax had to offer, and taught me so much during our tour! Would definitely book again with him if I could!
Raman's attentiveness and genuine kindness while uncovering all that Halifax has to offer clearly made this one worth coming back for! 🌊
Peggy's Cove is a delightful little village with good food choices and different shops - our tour guide Pedro was delightful, prompt, and communicated well on times etc.
Pedro's promptness and clear communication making the whole experience so smooth, with Peggy's Cove delivering on the food and atmosphere front too, sounds like a really lovely day out! 🌊
Had a fantastic time today on this tour with our driver Cameron. We were a small group visiting on business and this excursion was a highlight of our trip. Cameron was lovely and very knowledgeable. The cove itself was beautiful and the drive was so scenic.
June was amazing as a guide! I felt right at home. Good times and good vibes! Peggy’s cove is a must to see
Exactly as described. Our driver was very friendly and communicated instructions clearly with the group about arrival/dinning at Peggy's Cove. I was very impressed with the amount of information he was able to share about Halifax and Nova Scotia while also getting to know the group. 5 stars! Definitely recommend using this service for a quick evening trip to Peggy's Cove and back
What a wonderful day. Communication prior to pick up was reassuring. Sunny was a very knowledgeable tour guide and provided more information of the area than I anticipated.
Sunny consistently going beyond what guests expect with her depth of knowledge is something that really sets a tour apart! 😊 And that reassuring communication before pickup is exactly the kind of detail that sets the right tone for the whole day.
Was a great experience and Brittany the driver was very good and informative, the only thing that we had an issue with was that we only had 1 hour at Peggy's Cove would have have preferred a little more time to explore the location
Brittany's knowledge and warmth throughout the drive made the experience genuinely enjoyable, and that feedback about needing more time at Peggy's Cove is something worth noting because that place has a way of pulling you in! 😊 It's a really useful point for future guests weighing up how to pace their day there.
