Very informative - The guide bob was great. We bought his book Atlantic last stop and he was very good at telling stories about Halifax. He narrated the trip going out to Peggy’s cove and then back. I would highly recommend this excursion. The trip was right on time and we made it back to our ship with plenty on time to spare!

The view! - Great experience! Will be back. Car is definitely needed to explore more of Halifax. Waterfront, food, and the city is rich with history.

Nice location - Enjoyed the time at Peggy’s cove Very informative guide. What it lacked was location directions Could have easily said it meets outside the Maritime Museum and that would of made life easier If you are on a cruise line, it’s about a 15-20 minute walked down the pier

Worth doing while in Halifax - Karl was our guide and Jojo was our driver. We were in Halifax on September 15th as a stop during a cruise. We were very happy the day was nice. The last time we visited it was raining and we didn't get to do take too many outdoor photos. It was nice to hear some history of Halifax and see the sites on a clear day. Karl provided a lot of information since he was from the area. Jojo ensured we made it back on schedule despite some of our fellow tourists not making it back to the bus at the scheduled time. Peggy's Cove is a must see while in Halifax and I look forward to returning ND seeing other sites. Definetly recommend this tour. I would just go directly to the booth and save a little money compared to purchasing on Viator.

Scenic spot, but … - Scenic spot but was not worth a half-day trip. A knowledgeable but highly talkative guide—info overload.

Peggy’s Cove is beautiful, but driver was not safe - Trip was beautiful to Peggy’s Cove and bus was on time. Worth the trip, and tour guide was good. The driver, however, was going too fast for the tight winding roads, and at one point hit the ditch. Was also driving well above the speed limit and flow of traffic on the highway section.

Bus to SUV to Mini Van???? - Our experience was not a positive one. When we arrived to board out "bus" transportation, we were told by Johnathan we would have to pack 6 of us into an SUV because there wasn't enough of us to use a small tour bus. Not happening. Then we were put into a mini van and transported to Peggy's Cove. Very uncomfortable and could not see out very good. Not what we paid for. The only thing that made it memorable was our driver went above and beyond to make up for such a rocky start with the transportation. I give him 5 stars out of 5.
