Peggy’s Cove/Mahone Bay & Lunenburg UNESCO ERFGOED SITE.
Beschrijving
Ga met ons mee terwijl we het erfgoed van de Lighthouse Route verkennen en leer de verhalen achter Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay en Lunenburg, wanneer en waarom ze zich vestigden, de geschiedenis van de visserij en de natuurlijke geschiedenis van de Atlantische kust... Ontdek de verbindingen tussen kustlijn, geologie, landschappen, klimaat en natuurlijke hulpbronnen die deze gemeenschappen zo'n 250 jaar lang in stand hebben gehouden - de scheepsbouw en visserij: de goudkoorts van de 19e eeuw: de aquacultuur en de kerstboomteelt. Leer meer over het ‘wie-wat-wanneer-waarom-en-waar’ van nederzettingen door buitenlandse protestanten, de economische contrasten tussen de kustvisserij van Peggy's Cove en de kustvisserij van Lunenburg, de lokale architectuur, de triomfen en tragedies van houten schepen en ijzeren mannen. Verken het in je eigen tempo of neem deel aan onze gratis wandeltocht door Peggy's Cove en Lunenburg, die op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat.

Jonathon was very petsonable and knowledgeable!
Thank you so much for the positive review. We truly enjoyed the day with you.
Jonathan our tour guide was wonderful ! Knowledgeable, funny, and most of all entertaining. He made the day tour to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg and Mahone Bay a true delight..
Dear Mary. Thank you so much for the positive review. We hope to see you again. Be Blessed.
Our guide, Johnathon, was exceptional! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and accomodating. He tailored the day to the group's interests. Allowed sufficient time at each stop, made recommendations at the stops, took us to sites not on the itinerary. So much easier then trying to see places on your own and find parking plus you get info about the history and significance of the locations. Highly recommend!
Dear Kerry. Thank you so much for the positive review. You are all a blessing to me. I pray that goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. Kind regards.
A great introduction to the areas of Nova Scotia around Halifax, especially if you do not have a car available
So True. Quaint little fishing villages dot the area. If you love nature and a fresh breath of sea wind, Nova Scotia is a place to be. We hope to see you again. Thank you for the positive review.
Definitely worth the money. Jonathan went above and beyond the call of duty. Would definitely recommend them for future tours
Thank you very much for the review. We always strive to do our best to please our customers. Wishing you happiness and peace of mind. Kind Regards. Be Blessed.
Great day! Jonathon was very informative and personable. My wife and I had an excellent experience..
Dear Scott. I thought to wait till you were back home to write you and your wife. You are a great person, and I truly enjoyed myself touring with you both. I hope to see you again someday. Danke Sehr.
We visited Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Peggy's cove on a shore excursion from our cruise ship. In mid-October, the fall foliage was spectacular, so the coach ride was as scenic as can be. Lunenburg is an historical town, once a major port on the North American continent. Today it is less prominent, but walking through it still gives you a sense of history. Mahone Bay is a charming small town, more touristic than historical at this time. The three churches standing side by side on the waterfront give it a memorable aspect. There are a number of shops, art galleries, a pewter factory (and jewelry) to entertain the visitors. Peggy's Cove is a wonderful stop, with spectacular views, and historical lighthouse and a charming fishing port.
Thank you so much for the positive review. I wish we had enough time to explore the other places I told you.The cruise ship should give people more time to really enjoy such places as Peggys Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg. The drive from Collenwood back to Halifax was my favorite way to see the coast. Please extend our regards to Debbie and all the people on the bus. Thank you.
We were assigned a driver, not a guide. This was just a ride — not a guided experience., no commentary, and a YouTube video instead of real info. There was absolutely no historical information shared. The overview specifically states, "Your guide also provides commentary about each village's history and traditions that stretch back over 250 years." We received none of it. Totally misrepresented. To make it worse, Viator acts only as a booking agent and refuses to take full responsibility. Waste of time and money. Avoid the tour company Aberdeen & Viator/Tripadvisor.
Noted. We spoke to the tour guide and we have admonished her for using video playback on a tour. Some of the customers liked it and some not. Its hard to please everyone these days. Thnak you.

We have already responded to this review. We strive to improve and get well trained tour guides to work for us. Thank you.
If I’m writing a review for a taxi service, I would give this five stars. The driver was friendly. The vehicle was clean.. if however, I’m giving a review for a tour give it three stars. The driver spoke not great English and was not super knowledgeable about the area. He was also rather soft spoken.
So true. We almost canceled your tour due to staffing issues. However, we have used this Van driver on few occasions and people wrote something nice about him. We will ask him to improve on his language as English is not his mother tongue.Thank you.
