- Sir Sandford Fleming Park (The Dingle) - This is a beautiful 95-acre park. Its memorial tower was built in 1908 to commemorate 150 years of democracy. It also has beautiful trails along the ocean.
- Halifax Public Gardens - Guests can take a leisurely stroll through this downtown garden. It is a picturesque Victorian garden that is 154 years in the making.
- Fairview Lawn Cemetery - Guests can visit the final resting place of over 120 victims of the 1912 Titanic disaster. Among the victims was the unknown child, who through DNA testing has now been identified.
- Peggy’s Cove - Granite rocks are white-washed into the ocean, left from the Ice Age 10,000 years ago. Artists love to paint here because of the strong contrasts among the ocean, rocks and lighthouse.

Sightseeing Journey - We had a wonderful day! Stewart was waiting for us just steps from the ship and we began our 6 hour sightseeing journey filled with information and beautiful picture moments. This was so much better than doing a group tour!

Skip the shore excursion and do this private tour instead! - The entire tour was so well planned and organized. Stewart’s extensive knowledge of, and love for, his region - along with the incredible scenery - made this one of the most memorable highlights of our entire trip. A private tour planned with our specific interests in mind was a much better choice than being herded along with a busload of people on the cruise ship’s shore excursion. And Stewart managed to plan our arrival at Peggy’s Cove between the bus tours, so it was far less crowded and we were able to get some amazing photos (and great lobster rolls!) with far fewer people around!

Beautiful day in Halifax - We were two couples in town for the day on a cruise ship. We were so lucky to have found BLT Limo. All of us were thrilled with our driver - Stewart was charming, funny and so knowledgeable about all things Halifax. He made the day delightful!
He took us around town to get a feel for the neighborhoods and then a scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove.
