True Maritime Experience - Lunenburg is full of the beautiful and quaint sights that one would associate with the Maritime Provinces. Great history, restaurants and sights. A very comfortable and unrushed experience.

This is what a gem of a trip should be - A tour should be both informative and entertaining. Gary has definitely mastered this art. Nancy has trained him well and he's able to relate details about the history and chatacters of Lunenburg as if he were a local. His friendly manner and sense of humour were exemplary. The biggest compliment I can give is that I'd repeat the tour tomorrow!

A memorable tour - Awesome local guide and tour! The guide has lived in Lunenburg since the 70s, so she has a lot of fascinating stories to tell. Also, she knows where to go for memorable views of Lunenburg and the nearby lovely fishing town by the sea!

Excellent Lunenburg Tour Experience - This tour was excellent. My husband and I were the only ones booked at that date/time, so we had a private tour! The stories about old Lunenburg were told from personal experiences and from the heart. The stops in Stonehurst and Blue Rocks were so pretty. Since it was only 2 hours, it was great because we had the remainder of the day to do other things. I highly recommend this tour; it is a one-of-a-kind experience.

A great way to learn about the life of the early fisherman and Protestant settlers of Lunenburg. - This small group bus tour with Nancy, is a great way to see the costal area outside of Lunenburg and most importantly, learn about the life (& hardships) of the early sailing folk.
Nancy’s stories were entertaining & obviously heartfelt.

A true gem of a tour - This tour is definitely a gem. Nancy bases it around stories of her life in Lunenburg and of the fishing community. The stories are fascinating and bring Lunenburg to life in a really unique way. The stops she goes to are beautiful.
A unique, fascinating and really enjoyable tour. Can’t recommend enough

A great tour of Lunenburg and nearby - Our tour guide Gary was great. He kept us enthralled with his stories, showed us the sights around town, and brought us to see nearby isolated and beautiful spots we never would have seen on our own. We both loved it.
