Very friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean and comfortable car. Saw others on similar excursions but they were on a large bus and we were in a private car. This is something that I would expect to pay much more for than we did.

Wonderful experience that I never gained
It was Wonderful experience booking tour with them. Car was quite clean and guide has vast knowledge about every tourist place. Strongly recommend to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10.
Great tour and a wonderful experience! The guide was friendly and we learned a lot about Lunenburg’s history. Beautiful town and definitely worth visiting!
Our Guide knew nothing of the area and was gave us no information at all. Because he knew nothing about the area we asked him to drop us off and pick us up and did the hour tour ourselves. I am going to try and get half my money back as we paid over $300.00. It was just a very expensive taxi ride
Everything is excellent and cooperative staff
It was never forgettable. Mahek dhillon is experience tour guide.
It was awsome experience, very smooth process. Very impressed. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience with our tour guide and car driver! Very professional, friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. The driving was safe and comfortable, and the guide made the whole trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great tour experience!
