The experience

Your guide picks you up at your downtown Halifax hotel and drives you under an hour to Peggy's Cove, a fishing village where you'll have free time to photograph the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, the most photographed lighthouse in Canada, walk the shoreline for tidal pools, watch fishermen at work, or browse the small shops. The drive itself is part of the tour: your guide points out notable sights and landmarks along the way.

Back in Halifax, you stop at Citadel Hill, where you walk through prison cells and alleyways dating to 1745 and watch the daily noon cannon fire if timing allows. Between the citadel and your hotel drop-off, your guide takes you on a narrated drive past several downtown points of interest: Fairview Lawn Cemetery (the final resting place for over one hundred Titanic victims), Halifax Public Gardens (a Victorian garden recognized as a National Historic Site), the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market (one of North America's oldest continuously operating markets), and Pier 21, where over one million newcomers first arrived in Canada between 1928 and 1971.

The tour wraps with a return to your hotel. Strollers and prams work for infants and small children, and the pace suits all fitness levels.
