Magical Peggy's Cove

This was an excellent tour of Peggy's Cove, a breathtakingly beautiful, truly enchanting place to visit. Paul was an erudite, informative, and very helpful guide/driver. My wife and I enjoyed every minute of the tour and will certainly try to return. Thank you so much.

Ed our tour guide described the history of St. Margaret's Bay. The story behind how a ship wrecked survivor with an unknown became known as "Peggy of the Cove", hence the now recognized name of the cove "Peggy's Cove came to be. He did also point out the key tourist points and discussed a little bit about Halifax's history. The story of how the town of Halifax assisted with the aftermath of the Titanic. The stories are endless when it comes to the Maritimes.

On line we booked the tour for 2.5hr and got on the bus but was told it was 3.5 hr and so we got off. We would not make it to our cruise ship on time. And you now force me to pick a number for review. I would be more optimistic.

Unlike more structured tours, this half day trip to Peggy's Cove is great for independent travelers. Our driver/guide Bob provided a knowledgeable, personable commentary from and back to Halifax. However, we were on our own at Peggy's Cove to hike around, take photos, eat in a restaurant, or shop. I liked being able to do what was most important to me and not being herded in a group. Lovely way to see the Peggy's Cove area.

It was a foggy and wet day so not ideal but the driver was so knowledgeable and entertaining that the trip was well worth it. He talked about the history of Halifax and major events. Great tour.

Really fun trip! The guide, Bob, was amazing. It was the first visit of the season and the bus actually broke down on the way there, but Bob was friendly and cheery the whole time and fixed it in no time and made sure we got the full amount of time at Peggy’s Cove. I had a great day with my partner and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Halifax.

It was a long cramped bus ride to get there. We saw a lighthouse and a souvenir store.It may have been better if we had had more time to look around, but they don't give you more time.
