2 Great Tours With Paul - We had back 2 back cruises so had 2 stops in Halifax. We toured with Paul to the Annapolis Valley and also on the historic Halifax tour. We truly enjoyed our tours. Paul is very responsive to email or text or call and met us right across from the ship at Pier 22. We learned so much about Halifax and the surrounding area and its history as well as Titanic history as a bonus. The van was comfortable and the lunch stops were local restaurants and so good. The 2 winery stops in Annaoplis were so different ( one large and more formal and the other a family owned and run establishment with individual selections based on personal wine preferences) but we liked them both. You cant go wrong booking with Paul.

Beautiful Vistas, Personal Service - Paul really knew the best places in the area to visit. He was happy to give me some extra time at Grand-Pré when I mentioned I’m Acadian. He took us to Halls Harbor at just the right time to walk on the sea bed while the tide was out. He also had some fun short videos about local history for us to watch while on the way. The first winery he took us to was so much fun and felt like a personal wine tour. Lucketts was also fun to visit. I liked the way Paul’s tour focused on seeing the beautiful landscape and on smaller venues that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise, as well as the main stops.

Annapolis Valley Tour - Paul, our guide delivered an amazing tour of the Annapolis Valley! He supplied us with lots of information about Halifax and each area we visited! We stopped to see the views of the Bay of Fundy and then got a closer look when we visited Halls Harbour! Lunch at Halls Harbour Lobster Pound was delicious! The gelato and wine tasting stops were great! The Church Street Winery created a personal tasting for all members of the tour! You can tell Paul enjoys his job and sharing his knowledge!

A wonderful opportunity to see the countryside in Nova Scotia - Our guide Paul was an expert on history, geography and had the ability to share facts and information in an interesting way. We were not rushed during the day, there were lots of photos opportunities. I learnt about Arcadian history, had a delicious lunch and a relaxing wine experience.The day was excellent , with videos while we were driving . I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in seeing Nova Scotian countryside, include the Bay of Fundy and its tides.

A Must Do Tour Whilst in Halifax - My husband and I had scheduled two tours with Paul-this was the second. Paul really knows the best places to give guests a taste of the Annapolis Valley. The van he uses is also very comfortable. For the wineries, the highlight of the wineries was the 1365 Church Street Vineyard & Winery. We also had lots of great photo opportunities-including two nesting bald eagles. This tour is a 'Must Do' when in Halifax.

Wine, Cheese, and a very kind guide - Annapolis Valley was the 1st of 3 tours a colleague and I did with Paul. Paul is highly professional, knowledgeable, and later would find out incredibly caring and kind. Started with the Bay of Fundy and then saw bald eagles, got delicious gelato at a place that was not yet opened but the owner opened when she saw Paul arriving, and then delicious wineries and cheese. At lunch, I noticed my phone was missing and Paul traced steps back, called repeatedly, and even took me to a couple of phone companies when it was obvious my phone was gone. Did not get to do the final part of the tour but Paul went almost 2 hours over trying to help me find and replace the phone. Never saw someone go so out of his way to help. Luckily I had booked his other 2 tours in coming days (see other reviews).
