Additional Information

On your journey to this coastal village passage, you traverse the serpentine seaside road known as the Lighthouse Route leading to the minuscule fishing hamlet of Peggy’s Cove. Its charm is such that it has served as a muse for artists and a magnet for both novice and veteran adventurers for ages. The vibrant homes and fisherman huts situated at the summit of the sturdy rocky ledge, that faces the turbulent waters of the Atlantic, bear traces of the sea’s fury and its tempests. Albeit, they persist, akin to the meager population of roughly 32 individuals who reside here all-year-round.

The only portion that I didn't like is that no one told me that the charges were in USD funds, that was a shock. - Marty our tour guide was great and the Peggy's cove area is awesome to see. I would recommend that everyone who is able take the time to visit the area. The locals are welcoming and friendly.

Great knowledge of guide and great tour for value. - Great driver and guide who didn’t reinforce tipping unlike all other tours. Great knowledge but less talking or joking while people may want to view scenery during ride.

Totally recommend! - I was a solo traveller to Halifax without a car, so I had to book a tour to see Peggy’s Cove and it was so much better than I expected! On our way to and from Peggy’s cove, we can listen to the history of Nova Scotia and the time we were allowed in Peggy’s Cove was sufficient. Highly recommend!

Beautiful views! - Peggy’s Cove is beautiful! It was one of the highlights of our trip. The guide and driver did a good job, although the directions to find them could be more clear.

Amazing Time in an Amazing Place - We truly enjoyed our tour guide Don. I have been on many tours - I have never learned so much! The scenery was beautiful. Bring your passport and make sure to get it stamped.

The trip was all about selling a restaurant. - Nothing, I thought the whole thing was way over advertised. The restaurant at the cove was over rated for the price.

Not a good day. - No ones fault......but the heavens opened.....all the buses let passengers back on but ours. The commentator did not draw breath and delivered some useful information but much just so he could keep talking I surmise. I dont like to be nasty but I wished I had noise drowning headphones. Never mind....the rain did that.
