Loved it! - Diana was an excellent guide - chatty, with lots of info to share! The rest of our trip we are staying in Halifax, so we appreciated this brief trip outside of the city! Peggy's cove was beautiful - although we could have spent a bit more time there. Also enjoyed the citadel more than we were expecting, and it was so nice to be driven up there!

We very much enjoyed our... - We very much enjoyed our half day tour today big thank you to Nilah and Dennis! Great way to see the sights and learn about Halifax and Nova Scotia in a short amount of time. Highlights were Peggy's Cove (yummy lobster roll & ice cream), touring Citadel Hill and learning about the Titanic burial site. Also appreciated the suggestions of things to do for the remainder of our stay. We were able to book it last minute for the four of us the day before our arrival and it was the perfect way to get settled into the city after arriving at our hotel. Highly recommend!

Sick travelers need not apply! - Good trip but I wish we’d had more time at Peggy’s Cove and less time at the Citadel. And I hope the tour company adds something to tell folks they’ll be removed from the trip if someone is obviously ill. We had a person in our six passenger van that had a deep, wracking, continuous cough. Now we’re sick too!

When things go wrong, you accommodate - This may not be the usual review. We were notified at 11:30pm the night before that the guide had called out. We were to meet the guide in front of the cruise port at 9 AM, unfortunately Emily, an office manager had to take the tour starting at 10 AM instead. Also, since we started late, she could not do the entire tour (the titanic cemetery) had to be skipped, and was told we would receive a partial refund, which I am still waiting on. While Emily was very pleasant and knowledgeable it’s obvious she isn’t the normal guide. Additionally, there was a problem with the air conditioner in the vehicle. Also, the transmission was slipping . It popped out of gear a few times, but the vehicle itself was large, roomy, clean, and well kept. Luckily, it was a rather cool day so the AC wasn’t a huge issue. Lastly if you sat in the very back you could not hear the commentary.

Tour was cancelled at the VERY LAST MINUTE - Can’t rate the tour but our experience was terrible because the tour was cancelled and we were notified 13 minutes before meeting time. We only had that day left and waited around ALL morning waiting for the one thing we had planned which was at 1:30 pm (the 9 am tour sold out while we were trying to book it. Needless to say, we wasted our whole day for nothing when we could’ve been doing something else or a different tour. I can’t quite express how frustrated we were.

DO NOT book with SeeSight Tours in Halifax - Our cruise was late departing from NY. As a result we arrived in Halifax past our scheduled tour time with SeeSight Tours. They refused to refund our payment. As a goodwill gesture Viator refunded half of our prior payment. SeeSight Tours should not be trusted to do the right thing regarding situations such as ours.
