Must see - The areas covered are 'must see' in Nova Scotia. Paul's tour was comprehensive and fun. Nice to be in a small group and beat the tour buses.

Excellent shore excursion - Paul, the owner and guide is professional, considerate and knowledgeable, excellent communication right after we booked this tour, and good followup prior meeting him at the port. The half day tour is more like a full day tour I would say. A small group tour in a brand new mini tour bus brought us to picturesque Lunenburg, plenty of photo stops including Mchome bay, and other closeby places where big buses can’t go. We avoid many typical crowded tourist areas. Between stops Paul has also showed us many short documentaries, pictures and historical facts about Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and how Americans and Canadians are connected. He makes sure we get back to our ships on time and drop each of us back to our piers. Paul has fully demonstrated the east coast Canadian hospitality and friendliness. Thanks very much and all the best to you and your family

Gifted Tour Guide - Paul is an exceptional tour guide. He is impressively knowledgeable about the history of the area. He takes you on the most scenic roads. He provides options of fantastic videos that makes the ride in the van go quickly and full of info. The tour is well-timed, allowing ample time at each place to relax and enjoy the sites. We recommend The Fish Shack for lunch in Lunenburg.

Our guide was great.... - Our guide was great. However unfortunately it poured and we got soaked. Guide was full of great information. He took all the pictures for us as we could not get out of the van. He went beyond our expectations even with the poor weather

Excellent tour - We enjoyed a 6 hour tour with Paul going to Peggy's Cove Luneburg going along the picturesque coastal road and bits and pieces in Halifax. It was informative with the various videos Paul played as we went along in his van. Paul is very knowledgeable about the area including tips of where to have lunch. Well worth the price for a good day in Novia Scotia.

A breathtaking experience - Many photos for breathtaking views between fairy tale, fantasy and reality. Always bring a windproof jacket and a cap because there are few indoor spaces...
