Paul was wonderful!! ... - Paul was wonderful!! Very knowledgeable and you could tell he was passionate about the area and it’s history as well as preserving for the future. We were with another tour group and took this one on our own. So glad we did. The only downside- I didn’t care for the lunch stop. But still 5 gold stars!!!

Highly recommended. Paul... - Highly recommended. Paul has a deep respect and understanding of Halifax history. We were awed by his multi media presentation - photos, videos and PowerPoint. He is very organized and very detailed with his presentation.

Interesting tour that gave new insights of Halifax history - Paul did a great job driving us around Halifax and Dartmouth in his new spacious van and educating our small group all about the history of the area. He did especially well in the subjects of the Halifax Explosion, Titanic cemeteries, and memorials. He added a lot of added insight and research. His mounted large iPad with images and videos added a lot to learning interesting facts. At the Citadel we stood only a few meters from the changing of the guard after the noon cannon was shot. Fisherman’s Cove was nice also. We got out of the van for some walking at the sites in which I liked.

Sad to cancel, but good experience - We actually were unable to go on this tour as we had to cancel for personal reasons and have to go back home earlier. As disappointed as we are on having to miss this tour, we are really appreciative of Paul’s good communication and all his helpfulness in planning prior to our coming to Nova Scotia (for example explaining where we can park on arrival, etc) as well as helping us possibly book for a different day, which although we tried, didn’t unfortunately work out with our schedule. We hope to try again one day!

A complete tour and history of the Halifax region - Paul was a fantastic tour guide! His in depth knowledge, coupled with related videos, was exceptional. His vehicle was pristine and well equipped. He was also willing to accommodate any needs or requests, and was not driven by a need to complete the tour by an exact time. Rather, he was focused on a full experience for his passengers. Thank you, Paul!

Excellent Half-Day Tour of Halifax - Lucky to have Paul for our Guide/Driver; he is a wealth of knowledge and information; we saw more and got to know more on this tour in half a day than we would have had if we had gone on our own. And thankful for the Transit 350 we older travellers got to travel in comfort and got in and out with ease.

Really enjoyed this tour. - Paul was very knowledgeable about the whole area. Taught us so much about the big explosion of 1917, the Titanic, the architecture of the homes and much more. He took us to an excellent place for lunch. I would definitely recommend this tour.
