Hiring a private car and guide is totally worth it with limited time - I was a bit nervous about booking this tour because it seemed more like a transfer service. I had looked into several other tours that would get us to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg, but the timing wasn’t always right with the cruise ship—some companies were a little rude about my even asking. Although HFX understandably can’t give the same guarantees that the cruise excursion-focused companies can (in terms of whether the ship skips the port altogether and getting a refund), I decided to risk it. I’d seen some other tours that included the Ovens sea caves and the BernArt Maze as "hidden gems," and I was tempted to try to squeeze those in too, but Rana (co-owner and our guide/driver) was smart about timing. We hit traffic on the way back, so not only did we not get to add anything, we didn’t see any of Halifax, really, either, which was not his fault. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if we were just getting a driver or a guide as well. I was happy that we got a lot of guided information during the long drives, but then had free time in our two stops. We got started asap—he was super easy to find right off the ship—and arrived at Peggy’s Cove before the bathroom lines and crowds got ridiculous. It IS a pretty lighthouse and I could see spending a half day in the town, but I was also happy with the quick stop we made. Rana gave us a lot of good information despite not being from Halifax—plenty of “content” and when we got to Lunenburg, we went to the golf course first for a good picture stop. Then we were on our own in Lunenburg for about 90 minutes. It wasn’t too crowded because the Bluenose (definitely look up the schedule if that’s what you’re going for) wasn't in port. We had time for a nice lunch and some walking around. Another hour might’ve been nice to actually go in more shops and museums, but I was glad we spent the bulk of our time there. The car was super comfy, and I was glad to see these “must-sees” without having to wait on other group members. I would definitely recommend their transfer and guide services.

Right time, Right place, Perfect Driver - We wanted to visit both Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg in 6-7 hours.. Our driver Nav said no problem. He was great! He knew the right time to be at the right places to avoid the crowds, took us to perfect photo spots and was super friendly. We loved our day! Highly recommend this tour!
