Visite d'une demi-journée : Peggys Cove,Swissair Memorial & Titanic Cemetery
Description
La plupart des visites à Halifax vous montrent un phare. Cette expérience privée en petit groupe s'approfondit en seulement 3 à 4 heures. Profitez d’une route panoramique le long de la route 333 sur la Rive-Sud accidentée de la Nouvelle-Écosse, alors que votre Guide partage des histoires sur le patrimoine halieutique, les paysages côtiers spectaculaires et l’histoire locale.

Écoutez toute l'histoire, y compris l'intervention communautaire et les efforts de rétablissement. Terminez au cimetière Fairview Lawn (cimetière Titanic), lieu de repos des victimes du Titanic et l'un des sites du patrimoine maritime les plus importants d'Halifax. Pas de foule, pas d'autobus, pas de précipitation, juste une expérience côtière intime et significative avec un retour garanti à temps au port d'Halifax.

I was on a cruise that stopped in Halifax. We wanted to see Peggy's Cove but a lot of the reviews for the cruise line's excursion mentioned how they went to multiple places and didn't have much time at the Cove. People mentioned that much of the day was just driving from Point A to Point B. We chose the early half day tour that went to primarily Peggy's Cove to address this. We were also a little worried about making it back to our ship in time, but doing the early one gave a good buffer. The tour started at 9 AM and finished at 12:30. Ram was great! He contacted us via text the morning of the tour to confirm the pickup details. He was promptly waiting for us outside the port in a black Toyota Sienna Van. It was easy to find. The car was super clean and spacious. We enjoyed our conversations with Ram and appreciated his commentary. At the Cove, he even took some photos of us. After the three stops (Peggy's Cove is very near the Swiss Air Memorial, and the Titanic Cemetery is nearish the cruise port) Ram even dropped us off at another location near the Citadel and Public Garden when we requested so we could do some more touring! Very nice of him! Very happy with our experience and would definitely do it again! Thanks Ram and Alpha Travel and Tours!
