Incredible tour! - Paul was informative without being overwhelming. He showed us an amazing amount in a short period of time. We had a tight time table, as our ship left on the early side, so we had to leave out on stop. He gave us the options and let us choose. (We made a great choice). In addition to having a microphone in the van with speakers, he had a large tablet mounted on the dash so that everyone could see it on which he showed photos and videos of some of the history he was talking about. To show you how much we liked him and his tour, this was the second time we had done it with him. We learned many things on this that we hadn’t learned the first time. I would rate him a 6 out of 5 if I could.

He goes above and beyond, telling about all the little information you might not hear anywhere else pertaining to the events that have occurred and sightseeing of off the beat little places.

Don't hesitate to book with Paul! - Wow!! Paul is an excellent guide. You can really tell how much love & respect he has for his city. He took our group of 10 all over in his beautiful, clean van. He is so respectful of the victims of both the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. If you want a comprehensive tour of Halifax, look no further!

This tour was the... - This tour was the best!!!! Paul picked us up at the cruiseport. His knowledge of the history of Halifax is outstanding. He took us to places the buses don’t go. This is the best tour I have ever been on. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

The best of the trips - Paul McNeil is known for giving among the very best Halifax tours, and he didn't let us down. He's articulate, humorous and full of knowledge, both from books and from folklore. We'll be returning to Halifax and look forward to exploring with him again.

Wonderful Historic Tour of Halifax. - Paul is passionate about Halifax history! He shows you the city and the Titanic memorials, but also brings you sites the big bus tours don't get to. He shows photos and videos on the tour to help you get a better understanding of Halifax history. Don't miss this tour!

Paul does a wonderful job... - Paul does a wonderful job and is very passionate about his city. He was very informative and told us many things we did not know. I would have given a 5, however because our cruise ship was leaving at 3:30, he said that wasn’t enough time to do everything. He cut our tour short even though it said 6 hours when I booked it. Where we were dropped off was 1-1/2 miles from our ship (even though he said it was only a few blocks) and we had to walk back to our ship in the rain. If I would have known all of this I definitely would not have booked this excursion.

Great way to experience Halifax for those with mobility issues. - This is a small group option, with a maximum of 10 people. I chose it because I am unable to walk very far due to a medical condition and this is primarily a driving tour with only a few short walks. Paul was an excellent guide and showed us places and their historical backgrounds that I had never seen before in two previous visits to Halifax.
