It sometimes takes family coming for a visit but it was my wife's and my first time doing the tour. We had a blast. The father and daughter duo (dad running the boat while his daughter did the commentary) were both funny and informative. The trip includes Citadel Hill, around the downtown core, and out on the water. Well worth the price. I would suggest buying from them directly as you can buy from others online but at an increased cost in some cases. Also, when they drive into the water, those upfront and on the right did get some good spray so if you want to enjoy the water up close and personal, sit there....lol.

Great introduction to Halifax! Abby was a fabulous guide, and Geff did a great job navigating some narrow streets. Be sure to wear an extra layer of clothing. It was cold!

Really fun experience! You get to see so many sights from the land/sea vehicle with an excellent tour guide! A must-do if you're visiting Halifax!

It was interesting learning about the city of Halifax from land and from the sea. The driver and guide did a great job. The only improvement that I would suggest is to have more speakers on the vehicle. A lot of the time is was very difficult to hear/understand what was being said due to the noise of the vehicle.

A bunch of fun, amusing vehicle, unique experience. See the boardwalk from the water. Quick tour... just an hour. Well worth it
