Maaz is a wonderful guide to use in Halifax. He is a safe driver and takes extra care of his clients with mobility issues. He was able to stop at special turnouts for great view and pix. His restaurant suggestions in Lunenburg were spot on...quick, tasty and not too expensive. Can't go wrong using Maaz as your local guide.
