Such a great experience on and off land
The trip was great despite the rainy weather. Josh, our tour guide was informative and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this experience to others wanting a fun and brief tour of the city and the harbor.
This is the very best way to see downtown Halifax and the harbor in a short period of time. The whole tour is only about an hour but you cover a tremendous amount of territory. If there's one thing to do in Halifax this is it!. The company is very organized and the tour host is very good. A lot of information in a short period of time.
Despite the rain was still a fun time. Abbey was informative and funny! Highly recommend if you are visiting Halifax.
Excellent trip with lots of history provided by Lexi! Highly recommend! Thank you
I enjoyed this activity with my son and 12 year old grandson . We didn't have a lot of spare time and this one hour tour was perfect. We toured by land and the water. The information provided to us during the tour was interesting and informative. In fact, it sparked so much curiosity with my grandson that he toured the marine history museum later in the week before going back home to Ontario! The driver and tour guide were both positive factors in our enjoyment! Highly recommend!
An experience driving through downtown Halifax in the Harbour Hopper. Our driver has amazing skills! Our guide was fountain of local history and folklore! 10 out of 10 would do it again!
Great with Thea and Garrett. Great time.
This was our favorite excursion! It was so different as an experience and we would do it again. Our guide Nelly was so sweet and our driver sorry forgot his name but remember he is originally from BC was fantastic!
Great fun. Staff was awesome. Lexi was great. She knew everything about Halifax. Very knowledgeable. Sense of humour is off the charts.
