A must for those visiting Halifax for the first time and wish to dip their toes into its history and layout - Had a great time touring downtown Halifax with a fellow out-of-towner. Our guide Andrew was super-duper kind, and he helped us get a feel of Halifax's landmarks and history. That the weather was nice didn't hurt either. Highly recommend this tour if you want to get a first taste of Haligonian goodness.

Informative but limited - Guide was excellent. A bit misleading, however. Assumed a walking tour would cover more sites along the way. In fact this was a 2-site only walking tour. Having a guide in the Maritime Museum was not really value added.
