Halifax & Peggy's Cove: Iconic Coastal Gems & History Tour
Price From $119.52 per person
Lowest Price Guarantee
Why not combine our two most popular tours into one? See the sights of the historic port city of Halifax and then take in the famous breathtaking sights of Peggy's Cove. Our tour would commence from Pier 21 with its Historic block as the "Ellis Island" of Canada, where more than one million immigrants came through and more than 500,000 left from during WWII. From there we will visit St. Paul's Church, the oldest Anglican church in Canada. As well, St. Paul's Church was among some of the buildings that withstood the Great Halifax Explosion of 1917. We will drive on to Fort Needham Hill where a memorial carillon was built for the victims of that explosion. Then we'll be on to Canada's most famous lighthouse. Peggy's Cove is one of the most unique, captivating and exhilarating eye-openers in Nova Scotia. The quaint seaside hamlets of Shad Bay, Big Lake, East Dover and West Dover, to mention but a few, are also breathtaking.

Jonathan is the best! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and accommodating. Lots of history and info about Halifax and Peggy’s cove. We would happily tour with him and Aberdeen tours again. 11/10!

Our guide Jonathan was amazing! He took great care of us from start to finish. Very informative (and fun) dialogue. We loved all the stops, especially Peggy’s Cove-so charming! Our guide recommended a wonderful restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed (beer and lobster, enough said!) Viator was great to work with, awesome communication and booking process. Thanks for a great experience!

Just finished tour & back on bus. A little confusing at first since they can't pick up with cruise lines tour buses. They were right behind them at parking lot. We were one of a few smaller buses (26 max) and had Richard as our guide, he did a great job. We saw much of the city & heard of its history, had a nice stop at a park/gardens, had an hour at Peggy's Cove (plenty time to have great lobster rolls and take some great pictures, stopped at the Titanic grave area, and was left at front door of where we began. Overall, this was exactly as advertised and much better than the cruise's tour we took the previous day going to Kennebunk. Highly recommend!

From an NCL cruise Aberdeen Bus tour was easy (pickup at the pier) well organized and phenomenal with the best tour guide, Maime Christine and Rob the driver ! Due to a nor'easter this stop was changed and we were notified they knew it and would be there when we finally arrived! Maime's knowledge was so worth this tour, I highly recommend it. We are in our 70's and had no problems even bringing a walker. They are the best to see all of Halifax & Peggys Cove!

Noneventful tour. Overpriced meal. Extended time on bus. Save your money. I wouldn’t book this tour again.

We liked the stops but the guided tour portion was a mess. It started late and the vibes were off from the get go. We were waiting a while for additional passengers and everyone was very antsy because what was supposed to be a 5 hour tour, the guide said we would make it back just in time before our ship was supposed to leave which caused concern. Also would e made it 7 hours! In addition, the guide we had was very disjointed and was not clear with instructions. Meeting places was unclear. She didn't keep us on track and give us way too much time in certain places and not enough in others. The bus driver wasn't helpful either and both seemed to not know what was going on or who was in the group. The guide would start stories and lose her thought and then start talking about the foliage (she mentioned it at least 15 times). A lot of her stories had nothing to do with anything and contradicted historical facts. In reading reviews, it sounds like it's good with Jonathan but if you don't get him - you might be out of luck. At this point, I would e paid extra to get a more private guide.
