A nice, personalized and very informative drive and tour to Peggy’s Cove and back.
The tour was basically a ride to Peggy’s Cove and a ride back. The driver gave history in the hour long ride which was good, but then we got dropped off for 2 1/4 hours at Peggy’s Cove to look around which we really only needed about 45 minutes for. The driver drops you off and gives you two hours so they can drive back to Halifax and pick up more passengers so there’s no chance of leaving earlier than two hours. A very touristy tiny town which is very cute but overcrowded with tourists and not much to see. I think it’s false advertising when it says you have 1 hour to see the town. You are literally stuck there for at least two hours. Save your money, get an Uber (or Canada’s version) and read up on the history before you go. Also, out of the 5 of us, 3 of us were carsick by the time we arrived at Peggy’s Cove due to the windy roads in the second half of the drive and the fast driving of our driver who was probably in a hurry to get back to pick up more passengers
Tour was great! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging! Jia was great!
Awesome experiece. Guide was great. Very knowledgeable on the history of Nova Scotia. Peggy' Cove is a really scenic location with a beautuful lighthouse.
Nav was in touch with us before we docked to give detail on where to meet; none of us had trouble finding the spot. We were driving to the Halifax Citadel and told history about Novia Scotia and early occupants, pretty interesting. On the drive to Peggy’s Cove we learned more about employment and the way of life. We were dropped off with a time to meet or if one was somewhere else in town, to call him and he would pick up there (nice consideration). We had two hours to wander this tiny hamlet and spent the whole time doing so. We, also, got there before the tour buses, having time to take pictures and go into artists’ store without crowds! On the drive back, Nav drove us through some beautiful housing areas, took me to post a letter, and we still had time to walk the waterfront. I had read ship tours only spent 30 minutes at the cove and wanted more time. It was worth it using this tour company. Nav was very aware of the time. No complaints from us, this was the way to go.
Polite, professional and friendly service from Nav! Very knowledgeable on the rich history of the area, and great advice on the spots and shops to explore.
Omar was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time.
Jai was was great; timely, friendly, and knowledgeable. Would recommend if you are looking for a nice quick trip away from Halifax for a few hours.
Great express tour to Peggy’s Cove, our guide Omar was amazing, provided lots of insights and info on Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and NS overall. It was a fantastic 4 hours spent on site, highly recommended. The Lobster Rolls and ice cream were delicious. Don’t hesitate, book the tour and ask for Omar!
My friend and I had a lovely afternoon with Sav our driver and guide. I use a walker and he was very helpful and caring. As a first time visitor to Halifax his tour was very informative. He met us in the lobby of our hotel and was very punctual, returning us there which made it very convenient for me. I would gladly recommend his services and hope to visit again.
