Highlights
-
Lunenburg - Lunenburg is a port town on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. Founded in 1753, the town was one of the first British attempts to settle Protestants in Nova Scotia in an effort to displace the French colonial Roman Catholic Acadians and indigenous Mi’kmaq. Old Town Lunenburg is one of only two urban communities in North America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Considered to be the best surviving planned British colonial town in North America, you can still see the tall ships moored off the port and hear the smith’s hammer, while guided tours tell tales of lives lost on the ocean.
Lunenburg’s harbour-side streets are lined with unique shops and award-winning restaurants that blend with the well-preserved and colourfully painted historic homes, much of it like a living museum from the 18th century.

Great day at Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg - We had an amazing day with Paul, with stops along the southern coast of Nova Scotia. We stopped for about an hour in Peggy's Cove, which was a perfect amount of time to enjoy the amazing views by the lighthouse and stroll through the small fishing village. When we got to Lunenburg, Paul stopped by several notable buildings, telling us about them, before pointing out good lunch restaurant options. We had a bit more time there, before returning back to Halifax. Overall, this was an excellent day and Paul took very good care of us.

Fantastic Tour - The Half-Day Small-Group Tour of Nova Scotia's South Shore was fantastic and well-organized. The tour is great for anyone with limited time in Nova Scotia. Paul, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgable. Pick-up from the hotel was on time and the van is very comfortable. Despite the cold and rain, I had an amazing time. Thank you !

Very enjoyable trip - The tour was great! Paul is knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He informed us about the history of Halifax.
We were also given ample time to explore the places by ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great experience - Paul was an excellent guide, most of the group was forced to cancel but he followed through with our tour. His professional demeanor and knowledge was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Halifax Titanic Historical Tours to others.

Good if you don't have your own transport. - This bus trip was in a comfortable vehicle and there were entertaining stories told along the way. If you don't have your own transport it's a great way to see something outside of Halifax city, but I would venture to say that, for the cost, you'd be better off hiring a rental car for the whole day as you would see more and fill in a whole day, not just half. But again, if you're not a confident driver it's a good option.
