If you are going to do any of the city tours in Halifax, this is the one to book! - This tour is amazing! It hits all the highlights, and Paul is full of knowledge being a local. You will get to see so much on this tour and learn a great deal of history. The van is incredibly comfortable, and the added touch of cold water, pictures and videos were very entertaining. Paul takes great care of each of his passengers and responds quickly to any messages. If you are going to do any of the city tours in Halifax, this is the one to book!

Superb tour!! - We arrived out of season so we were delighted that Paul was able to take us out in his Lincoln Continental with there being just the 2 of us. A fantastic tour from start to finsh - we learn't so much about the amazing history of Halifax. Full of enthusiasm and passion for his City and coupled with great knowledge, it is no exaggeration to say that the day with Paul flew by. Don't hesitate! If you are in Halifax and especially if your time is limited, get on this tour, you won't regret it!

Wonderful experience - Takes you beyond the surface history to the heart of the story. We went to many places where the “traditional” tours did not go.

Historical Halifax with Paul - Paul was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city. A very enjoyable, comfortable and educational tour. Paul was very attentive to his passengers. As an avid photographer, I would have liked more stops to take photos but in fairness, I didn't request this and I'm sure Paul would have tried to accommodate my needs if asked to.

Great experience! - Paul our guide was great! He was enthusiastic, passionate and extremely knowledgeable. He picked us up at our hotel in a fancy Lincoln Continental Sedan with treats and beverages included. We had a 6-hour narrated tour which included Historic Halifax, Dartmouth & Fisherman's Cove. We saw the cannon blast at noon at the top of Citadel-National Historic Site, visited Titanic grave sites, walked through the public garden, learned so much about historical events of Halifax including the 1917 Explosion, to the importance of Pier 21. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Evans Seafood. It was an amazing tour from start to finish!

Fantastic tour of Halifax! - This was an absolutely fantastic tour of Halifax and everything about it. Our guide Paul was so passionate and enthusiastic about Halifax and its history. Our tour lasted almost 7 hours and we were on a cruise ship and in Halifax for the day. He picked us right up at the port, had a sign with our names on it and there were 4 others with us in a nice van. A great small group of 6 people. We toured around the whole city, got to walk through the Public Gardens, stopped at the Citadel and saw the cannon fire at noon and the changing of the guard, learned so much about the explosion that killed many in Halifax and also learned things I did not know about the Titanic. We went to 2 different Titanic cemetaries and passed by even more. We stopped in a charming fishing village and had lunch at a local and delicious seafood restaurant. We could not have asked for a better day with a more enthusiastic host. He provided waters for us the entire day and also had a TV screen in the car to show us pictures and videos about all of the great stories he told us throughout the day. An absolutely fantastic tour that is a must do when visiting Halifax!
