History Brought to Life - It's hard to choose, but the information about the Halifax explosion has to be number one. Also loved the ride through and around this charming city and hearing stories both important and simply sweet.
Paul is passionate about history and brings it to life for his passengers.

Paul is the best! - Due to Covid, illness, and weather we had to cancel three tours that we had booked with Paul. We finally were able to take this tour on our fourth try. Paul is very easy to work with and is very prompt answering emails. His vehicle is very comfortable and it is so much nicer than going on the big cruise ship tours. He is very knowledgeable and is a pleasure to be with. We took his Halifax Titanic Historical Tour. Paul knows all there is to know about the history of Halifax and likes to share his knowledge. You won't be disappointed going with Paul.

Excellent, good value tour - Paul was an excellent and incredibly knowledgable guide who clearly knows Halifax and environs from top to bottom and back to front. He was able to flex the schedule so that we didn't miss out on being present at the Citadel for the noon gun, and to be at the Fairview Lawn Cemetary when it was quiet. The lunch stop in Dartmouth was an excellent choice, and Fisherman's Cove worth a visit for the gift shops and picturesque views. For first time visitors to Halifax, it was well worth the price.

Almost perfect. - Excellent tour but the tour guide needs to slow down his speech. He talks fast and garbled his words. I'm a native speaker and had trouble following him sometimes. I'm pretty sure non native speakers would be lost.

Must book this! - Must book this tour! Paul is a local, knowledgeable man who kept us entertained the entire time. He knew how to time the tour perfectly to see changing of the guards and hear cannon fire at noon at Citadel, went to authentic fishing village, learned about the Titanic and went to cemeteries to pay respects to victims buried there. We went to "hidden gem" places a large tour bus can't go. Paul was very professional, kind, and accommodating.
You have to go on this tour!!!

A must do in Halifax - This tour is outstanding. Paul is very knowledgeable and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We will be returning next August and hoping that he is available again.
