Halifax's Past Unveiled: Unforgettable 6-Hr Historic Quest

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

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.

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, 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.

Great tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about Halifax history. Showed many pictures and short videos at many of the stops. I would definitely recommend this tour.

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!

This tour was the best!!!! Paul picked us up at the cruiseport. His knowledge of the history of Halifax is outstanding. He took us to places the buses don’t go. This is the best tour I have ever been on. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I ended up not going on this tour after getting sick, but my prior interactions with the guide were less than favorable and I wish now I had canceled it.

Paul McNeil is known for giving among the very best Halifax tours, and he didn't let us down. He's articulate, humorous and full of knowledge, both from books and from folklore. We'll be returning to Halifax and look forward to exploring with him again.

This is a small group option, with a maximum of 10 people. I chose it because I am unable to walk very far due to a medical condition and this is primarily a driving tour with only a few short walks. Paul was an excellent guide and showed us places and their historical backgrounds that I had never seen before in two previous visits to Halifax.
