Lunenburg är en hamnstad på södra stranden av Nova Scotia, Kanada. Staden grundades 1753 och var ett av de första brittiska försöken att bosätta protestanter i Nova Scotia i ett försök att förflytta de franska koloniala romersk-katolska akadierna och inhemska Mi'kmaq. Gamla stan Lunenburg är en av endast två urbana samhällen i Nordamerika som utsetts till UNESCO: s världsarvslista. Anses vara den bäst överlevande planerade brittiska kolonistaden i Nordamerika, kan du fortfarande se de höga fartygen förtöjda utanför hamnen och höra smedens hammare, medan guidade turer berättar historier om liv som förlorats på havet. Lunenburgs gator vid hamnsidan är kantade av unika butiker och prisbelönta restauranger som blandas med de välbevarade och färgstarkt målade historiska hem, mycket av det som ett levande museum från 1700-talet.
The Bluenose Lodge är ett viktorianskt värdshus. Beläget vid ingången till "Gamla stan", Lunenburg. Detta smakfullt restaurerade viktorianska historiska värdshus. Värdshuset byggdes ursprungligen 1863 som en enfamiljshus för framstående sjöhandlare / byggare med namnet Morash & Eisnor. 1946 omvandlades hemmet till en lodge.
Lunenburg Academy designades av HH Mott, en välkänd New Brunswick-arkitekt, 1893. Byggnaden stod färdig 1895 och öppnades för klass den 7 november 1895. Den byggdes som en del av Nova Scotias skift från skolrum i ett rum till offentliga akademier. Lunenburg-akademin registrerades som både en provinsiell arvfastighet och en nationell historisk plats 1983. Byggnaden är nu den enda intakta 1800-talsakademibyggnaden som finns kvar i Nova Scotia. Det fungerade kontinuerligt som en utbildningsbyggnad från 1895 till mars 2012.
St. John's Anglican Church var den första kyrkan som grundades i Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Kanada. Det är den andra kyrkan i England som byggs i Nova Scotia och är den näst äldsta kvarvarande protestantiska kyrkan i dagens Kanada. Tidigt den 1 november 2001 led St. Johns kyrka betydande skador genom brand. Det restaurerades och återinvigdes den 12 juni 2005.
Besök Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic för att utforska kajfartyg och deras extraordinära akvarium, och den berömda Bluenose II, en kopia av den ursprungliga världsberömda tävlingsskonaren på baksidan av den kanadensiska dime. (Varied Dates Bluenose II är i hamn )
Mahone Bay är en stad längs South Shore i Nova Scotia i Lunenburg County. En långvarig pittoresk turistmål, staden har nyligen haft ett växande rykte som en fristad för företagare och nystartade företag. Mahone Bay har ett enkelt men ändå extraordinärt sätt att leva. Upplev allt från historia till unika butiker, hantverkare till kulinariska upplevelser längs de färgglada och pittoreska gatorna. Mahone Bay, som nyligen utsetts till en av Kanadas tio vackraste städer av culturetrip.com, är en måste-se stad känd för sin bild perfekta Trinity Churches foto-op.
Trinity Church's är tre framstående kyrkor: St James 'anglikanska; St John's Evangelical Lutheran; och Trinity United. Det har blivit en ikonisk bild av Nova Scotia, ofta fotograferad och visas på vykort och kalendrar.
Nova Scotia är hem för över 160 historiska fyrar, men ingen fyr är lika fotograferad som den i den livliga fiskebyn Peggy's Cove. Peggy's Point Lighthouse byggdes 1915 och håller fortfarande vakt över svängande havsvågor och arbetande hummerbåtar. Amble över jätte stenar slitna slät av havet och dela i utsikten. Den steniga kusten och havsvattnet runt Peggy's Cove är farligt. Rogue vågor (oförutsägbara, grova vågor) stänker vanligtvis upp över klipporna, även på lugna, soliga dagar. Håll dig borta från de våta, mörka stenarna och simma inte. Det säkraste sättet att njuta av utsikten är att se till att du går på torra, vita stenar.

Paul is an excellent guide, giving us plenty of time at each stop and providing background information about what we were going to see. I also enjoyed the in-car videos about the Halifax explosion and the story of Gander in 2011; and I now know a lot more about lobsters!
Thank you quiller003 for taking a minute to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore....Ecstatic to hear you had a Memorable Tour of this Unforgettable Province...Merci Beaucoup for your kind words
Excellent trip experience overall! Our guide and driver, Paul, did a fantastic job organizing everything flawlessly. He was professional, punctual, very considerate, and made the journey incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommended to solo travellers who wish to explore the charm of Peggy's Cove and Lunenberg but can't drive by themselves.

Paul meet us at the cruise ship pier for an easy start to our day. We loved Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. Paul drove along the delightful seashore for part of the distance between Halifax and Peggy’s Cove. Paul was knowledgeable and told great stories.

Thank you Lesa_J for taking a moment to review One of the Two Tours you did with Me....Delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Nova Scotia's Beautiful South Shore including Lunenburg, Mahone bay & Peggy's Cove...Merci Beaucoup for your kind words...
The tour was relaxing and illuminating. We got to see Peggy's Cove at a time when the massive cruise ships and bus loads of tourists weren't there. It was very windy, but quiet and we could walk around. You get a sense of the power of North Atlantic. Only six other people were there before us and we were able to get the money shot of the lighthouse without anyone else around. The town itself was graphic. Paul played us documentaries of the Titanic sinking (new evidence it was caused by a fire burning before it sailed) and of the 1917 Halifax Explosion as we drove to the different locations. He also gave a restaurant recommendation at Lunenburg. Paul showed us some of the main sites, suggested photographic shots, and gave us a couple of hours to explore and get lunch. Finally, we drove to Mahone Bay to see the three churches. Paul is very knowledgeable, helpful and up front. I've been on tours where the guides gave information that was not exact or misleading. He communicated clearly and followed up. Paul knows his history and I recommend taking one of his tours.
Thank you Maria M for taking a moment to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Delighted to hear you had Memorable Tour of some of Nova Scotia's Most Iconic Towns...Merci Beaucoup for your VERY kind words...
A wonderful day out, lucky enough to be just us that day. Paul was informative, helpful and full of local and historical knowledge. There was so much I didn't know about or realise about Halifax and the surrounding area. Even though the weather was horrendous the day we went along the south shore he did all he could to accommodate me being able to take pictures and see the coastal road. I understand he does historical tours around the city and just wish I had enough time to be able to have done this - well a good excuse to come back and visit.
Thank you Tanya E for taking a moment to review your Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Sorry about the weather BUT Happy to hear you still had a wonderful day despite the conditions...Hope to see you again in the Future...Merci Beaucoup for your VERY kind words..
Trip involved a long van ride in traffic and road construction. We got off late because driver waited on a tardy couple and shortened trip as one party had an early on board time. Too many ships at same time and most places were packed so we just drove around and took photos from van. Return via coastal road was behind a school bus. Driver was nice.
Thank you Robert_M for taking a minute to review your Tour Of Nova Scotia's South Shore...Sorry you didn't enjoy your Tour Experience it wasn't much fun for me either due to the points you have made....Unfortunately it seems you have blamed me for things that are out of my control...#1 Long Drive...Yes it is a long Drive to Lunenburg an hour plus with NO ISSUES which we did first to keep you away for the Cruise Bus Crowds as October 22, 2025 there where Three Cruise Vessels visiting Halifax and that worked out fine and you had lots of time for Lunch & Sightseeing before the Buses showed up...**There are Three days in October where there are Six Vessel visiting Halifax and agreed that is WAY TO MANY VESSELS in One Day** and then the drive to Peggy's Cove again along the Coast is also a hour plus nothing I can do about these Two Towns/Village are NOT side by side also Traffic and Road Construction again out of my Control...#2 The Tardy Couple where on your same Cruise Vessel that you where on and was Tendered in the Harbour and again I have to give the Guests some Grace time to get to Shore and Yes Tender Guests can be a Logistic Nightmare...#3 Yes some guests on other Cruise Vessels had to be back before You BUT I got them back in Time again I don't make the Port Call Times I wish I did because they ALL would have more significant time in Halifax...#4 Having to follow a School Bus that was dropping off Children on a road with No passing Lanes again out of my Control....Also the Tour was not shortened it was the Full Six plus hours as we started at 9.30 AM and Finished at 4.30 PM and Yes I did cut some corners due to the issues you have mentioned...The only part of this review that I had control of was "Driver was Nice"...Thank you for that!!!
One of the few tours that offers both the very touristy village of Peggy’s Cove and the even more beautiful one of Lunenburg without forgetting Mahone Bay. Visit times at each stage are perfect. Videos during the trip are a plus.

Paul picked us up at the agreed location and was already waiting for us. Paul contacted us again the night before. Everything was great!!! Note: when you leave the terminal, walk past all the people waiting with name signs and keep slightly to the left. He will be waiting for you there. Very nice, new, and well-maintained Ford bus. Good for about 14 people. There were 10 of us on September 15, 2025. Paul explained a lot. He also has an oversized screen in his Ford bus where he played various very informative YouTube videos. Very careful driving throughout the day! Compliments. Great stops. Always drove slowly at important spots so we could take photos. Great guy. Would definitely do it again. Plenty of time in Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. @ Paul personally: PLEASE leave Lunenburg an additional 15 minutes earlier next time. You know what I mean. ;-) You were a great guy and explained a lot. Stay just the way you are and all the best to you!! My best regards, Ralf
