Our Peggy's Cove small group scenic tour from Halifax was excellent! Our driver/tour guide, Raunaq, was very good. He was interesting, informative, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. He walked around with us while at Peggy's Cove and shared many historical events and happenings. He truly made our experience one that we will never forget. We would give him and the company a 5-star rating and would certainly book more tours through this company with the hopes of having Raunaq as our tour guide again!
Learned more about Canadian history. The experience was awesome I would recommend anybody to go there
Lovely trip with Emily our tour guide who was extremely informative and very patient with my 97 year old mum. Peggy's Cove is spectacular and definitely a must see if you visit Nova Scotia! Words do not do it justice.
Sunny was a great driver. He suggested a lot of things to do and see. He was early at pick up which was great. I would have stayed longer but we only booked for 3h. Love Peggys Cove. Would do it again just longer next time.

We booked a tour through Peggy’s cove and had a fabulous time. Our Guide Raunaq was friendly and enthusiastic. We learned some history and had some fun.
On a trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, we had a full day tour of Maritime villages, including Lunenberg, a UNESCO site,. Our tour guide was Lem Smith of Halifax Tour Guides. He was a terrific guide. Showed up at our hotel promptly and drove us to delightful towns and to historical sites, including lunch at a local restaurant where we had the best the lobster roll I've ever tasted. He was patient with us when we wanted to shop even though it made the tour longer than planned. He was full of interesting information and very personable. I highly recommend him and his firm.
Didn’t want to deal with a rental car, and so glad we chose this tour! We had a cool and comfortable car service. Pickup at our hotel couldn’t have been easier! Our guide David was one of the best guides all-around that I’ve had in a trip. My son and I were blown away by his wealth of knowledge about Halifax history, and culture. Outstanding! If you want to take in Peggy’s Cove, but need to keep it on the shorter side, this is absolutely the way to go.
Sunny was right on time to pick us up and checked ahead of time to let us know where he was. The drive was about an hour and he made sure to point out several things along the way. It was a great way to tour Peggy’s cove in a short amount of time. Would recommend Sunny he was great
My partner and I are visiting Halifax from Toronto and couldn’t find a way to get to Peggy’s cove so we booked the small tour over there and it was the best part of our trip! Raunaq was a fantastic tour guide who went above and beyond to make sure our experience was special! Couldn’t have asked for a better group to have travelled with, well worth it! I think the tour itself could be a little longer at the cove, perhaps even an extra 30 minutes would make it perfect!
