Canada · PRIVATE TOURS IN HALIFAX
Short on days and long on options. These 6 private tours in Halifax are the ones worth a slot, each with its price, its duration and the thing to know before you commit.
You’ll tour Halifax in a private, air-conditioned vehicle for up to four people, with pickup, bottled water, and an English-speaking guide. The route combines the Citadel, The Dingle, Halifax Public Gardens, Fairview Lawn Cemetery, and one hour at Peggy’s Cove. It ends where it begins and includes free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
You’ll ride from downtown Halifax to Peggy’s Cove with a private English-speaking guide, see its famous lighthouse, then visit Citadel Hill and tour central Halifax by van. Guides such as Brittany, Andrew, Will, Jack, Allan, and Mak have led this route, with local food tips and flexible timing built in.
“We loved our guide. He was so nice, and knew the history of Halifax very well. The time flew by. He told us all the different versions of how Peggy’s Cove got it’s name, which was very entertaining.”
Travel by private air-conditioned vehicle from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg. Your English, Hindi, or Gujarati-speaking driver provides a narrated ride and photo stops. The five-hour route is best for small groups, but time in Lunenburg and Mahone Bay is brief.
“Mr. Zuber is very nice and has great communication always making sure you know where to be and when. This is a nice tour that gives you a sampling of each place. It would be nice to have a little bit longer at each stop but our ship was not in port long enough to take a longer tour. If you have only 5 hours perhaps skip Mahone Bay (even though it is nice) and just go to Peggy’s Cove for maybe an hour and then maybe you would have an hour at Lunenburg which is really nice. It is quite a drive from the cruise port to these sites…”
Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle from Halifax with a guide such as Ziyan, Aamir, Zihan, or Saeid. See Peggy’s Cove lighthouse, Mahone Bay, UNESCO-listed Lunenburg, and Ovens Park’s sea caves. The route is scenic but spread out, so expect several hours on the road and plan lunch carefully.
“This is a good tour if you want to see a lot in one day. We would have liked to stay and explore Lunenburg a bit longer, but ran short of time (mostly because the restaurant we chose for lunch was busy and service slow). Zihan was kind enough to keep us out an extra hour for a small fee. We also shouldn’t have lingered so long at the first stop, Peggy’s Cove. But all in all it was a lovely day. Zihan was super nice and relaxed, and knew the answers to most of our questions.”
Spend eight hours exploring Nova Scotia’s South Shore in a private vehicle with a local driver-guide. Visit Peggy’s Cove, the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, Queensland Beach, Mahone Bay, and UNESCO-listed Lunenburg. You choose how long to linger at each stop, with pickup from Halifax hotels, Airbnbs, or the cruise terminal.
“Zuber was an excellent tour guide! All of us (including 2 kids) enjoyed the trip- the tour itinerary was well chosen and the tour guide was knowledgeable, benevolent and patient. Thank you!”
You’ll travel from Halifax to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay with a private English-speaking driver, stopping for the Bluenose II, harbor photos, boutiques, the Three Churches, and artisan shops. Guides including Neda, Zion, and Zamir Khan have been praised for helpful local background and flexible timing. Pickup is available from Halifax hotels or the cruise terminal.
“Zion was amazing! He gave detailed information regarding the areas we toured and was very accommodating. We would highly recommend this travel company.”
