Top Experiences in Peggy’s Cove

Experience the Best of Halifax on this exclusive & private 4-hour small-group tour where you will discover the beauty and history of the coastal city of Halifax and nearby Peggy’s Cove on this small-group tour. You’ll have a chance to visit the famous Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse and picturesque Peggy’s Cove fishing village before heading back to Halifax to explore Citadel Hill and enjoy a narrated driving tour of the city.

Peggy's Cove and the Fairview Lawn Cemetery are some of the most popular locations in Halifax. This half-day tour is perfect for those who are looking for interesting locations to visit but don't have the time for a full-day experience.

This is a small group shared tour that doesn't have the crowd and pressure found in a big bus experience.

Why not combine our two most popular tours into one? See the sights of the historic port city of Halifax and then take in the famous breathtaking sights of Peggy's Cove.

Our tour would commence from Pier 21 with its Historic block as the "Ellis Island" of Canada, where more than one million immigrants came through and more than 500,000 left from during WWII.

From there we will visit St. Paul's Church, the oldest Anglican church in Canada. As well, St. Paul's Church was among some of the buildings that withstood the Great Halifax Explosion of 1917. We will drive on to Fort Needham Hill where a memorial carillon was built for the victims of that explosion. Then we'll be on to Canada's most famous lighthouse.

Peggy's Cove is one of the most unique, captivating and exhilarating eye-openers in Nova Scotia. The quaint seaside hamlets of Shad Bay, Big Lake, East Dover and West Dover, to mention but a few, are also breathtaking.

This scenic small-group tour is the perfect way to spend an evening in Halifax. It features a visit to Peggy’s Cove to watch the sunset against the backdrop of the famous lighthouse, dinner at a local restaurant and a narrated driving tour through downtown Halifax.

Your tour begins with a scenic, narrated drive to Peggy’s Cove.

Afterward, you’ll head to the Sou'wester Restaurant, a local favourite in the area, for dinner. The Sou'wester is known for its fresh, locally-sourced food and casual atmosphere.

After dinner your guide will bring you back to downtown Halifax for a scenic, narrated driving tour through the city. You will pass multiple points of interest including the Titanic cemetery (Fairview Lawn Cemetery), Pier 21, Halifax Farmers Market and Point Pleasant Park.

The best part of this tour is the down-home hospitality Sam tries to deliver with every ride. There is no real set schedule, so we have a bit more flexibility in how we do things. Sam will help you from the time you first write to the time she hugs you goodbye at the last stop and beyond if you're traveling to anywhere else that she is familiar with. Get to know other travelers and share once in a lifetime experiences along the way.
