Paul was a great guide.... - Paul was a great guide. His knowledge has to be unmatched. We never know anything about the Halifa explosion. We had no idea of Halifax's connection to the titanic. Highly recommend this tour. We came to Halifx in March and was not disappointed.

Excellent - Paul has a great passion for his city. You can tell he has lived every inch of it and wants to share that pride with you. Make sure you have a good base of Halifax history before you head out with him to get the best experience. Recommended.

Historical tour of Halifax was superb! - The tour we had with Paul was incredible and we are so grateful we could learn from his vast knowledge and personal experience of the city and area! Paul is extremely well versed on the history of the area, and is able to explain detail on various landmarks and events. His tour is very well planned! I would say this is a must do for anyone visiting Halifax!

Great tour of Halifax and Titanic history - Trip was fantastic. The higher roof van was great, easy to get in and out. Paul gave such a great tour all over Halifax, Dartmouth and Fishermans Cove. Lunch was very good in Dartmouth. We learned so much of the history of the city, the ship explosion, Titanic history and the gravesites. His presentation of videos and talking told us so much more than we had ever learned from being in Halifax before on a different tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone

Incredible tour! - Paul was informative without being overwhelming. He showed us an amazing amount in a short period of time. We had a tight time table, as our ship left on the early side, so we had to leave out on stop. He gave us the options and let us choose. (We made a great choice). In addition to having a microphone in the van with speakers, he had a large tablet mounted on the dash so that everyone could see it on which he showed photos and videos of some of the history he was talking about. To show you how much we liked him and his tour, this was the second time we had done it with him. We learned many things on this that we hadn’t learned the first time. I would rate him a 6 out of 5 if I could.

Paul is very organized,... - Paul is very organized, punctual and knowledgeable about all the history he tells you about. He goes above and beyond, telling about all the little information you might not hear anywhere else pertaining to the events that have occurred and sightseeing of off the beat little places.

Don't hesitate to book with Paul! - Wow!! Paul is an excellent guide. You can really tell how much love & respect he has for his city. He took our group of 10 all over in his beautiful, clean van. He is so respectful of the victims of both the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. If you want a comprehensive tour of Halifax, look no further!

Paul does a wonderful job... - Paul does a wonderful job and is very passionate about his city. He was very informative and told us many things we did not know. I would have given a 5, however because our cruise ship was leaving at 3:30, he said that wasn’t enough time to do everything. He cut our tour short even though it said 6 hours when I booked it. Where we were dropped off was 1-1/2 miles from our ship (even though he said it was only a few blocks) and we had to walk back to our ship in the rain. If I would have known all of this I definitely would not have booked this excursion.
