Abby was our guide on a super hot day in Halifax, 34 degrees. She did an amazing job with the tour- keeping everyone on their toes with her wit. It was a great tour overall!
The tour itself was relaxing and enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the driver has some mad skills, which I say coming from a family of 18 wheel truck drivers- other family members, not me. I have already recommended this tour to friends.
Wonderful experience! We learned a lot and had fun! Our daughter really enjoyed riding up high, and getting to drive into the ocean. Highly recommend!
It’s a fun and educational tour. It hits the high points of Halifax history. Great way to get an overview of Halifax on land and by water.
Great tour Loved all the sights and info our tour guide Lucy gave us. Liam was a great driver as well. Going-in the water was super fun. Transition from land to water was quite easy Hats off to Lucy and Liam for a great tour😀👍
Josh was awesome Thank you. Informative and fu.
We had a great time on the tour. Zac was our guide and Shannon was an amazing driver/captain
As much as I dislike touristy things like this, I LOVED this tour. The guide Abby was a total hoot and really added so much to the whole experience (shout out to Abby's mom who follows this Trip Advisor site to read about her daughter - you did a great job with that one MOM!!) Cool experience first driving a bit around the town then VROOM! SPLASH! into the water for a lovely tour of the harbor. (You don't get wet) Well worth the money and great for an intro to this lovely city.
Captain Geoff and Abigail were fantastic. Highly Recommend!
Captain Shannon and Tour Guide Abigail were wonderful!
