- Sir Sandford Fleming Park (The Dingle) - This is a beautiful 95-acre park. Its memorial tower was built in 1908 to commemorate 150 years of democracy. It also has beautiful trails along the ocean.
- Halifax Public Gardens - Guests can take a leisurely stroll through this downtown garden. It is a picturesque Victorian garden that is 154 years in the making.
- Fairview Lawn Cemetery - Guests can visit the final resting place of over 120 victims of the 1912 Titanic disaster. Among the victims was the unknown child, who through DNA testing has now been identified.
- Peggy’s Cove - Granite rocks are white-washed into the ocean, left from the Ice Age 10,000 years ago. Artists love to paint here because of the strong contrasts among the ocean, rocks and lighthouse.

The only way to see Halifax - Rick was very knowledgeable and eager to share local history past and present. Great communication before the tour. Good driver. The four of us had a great time and would highly recommend this private tour to see Halifax and the surrounding area. No microphones or whispers. Comfortable vehicle.
Thank you Rick for a great day.

A perfect day! - An amazing tour with Stewart to begin our Canadian vacation! Stories filled with historical information and stops within Halifax provided us a complete overview of this beautiful city. And there wasn’t a question Stewart couldn’t answer! Tour provided a nice balance of time in the car and walking in such places as the city’s gardens.

This was a great day with... - This was a great day with Rick our driver. He was knowledgeable and pointed out many highlights but more important he was so kind and nice to be with for the day. My 2 yr old grandson was with us and Rick catered to him and made sure he was comfortable and entertained. I felt like we spent the day with a long time friend. It was a perfect way to see and enjoy the area. We had lunch together in a great spot he recommended.

Personalized your tour - Very personalized tour! Spend your time at the spots you want and skip those that don't interest you. Lots of local information about the sites and history of Halifax. Private tours are going to be my go to going forward.

Private tour of Halifax a Must! - Rick was amazing. Our ship was an hour late and he waited for us and extended our tour so we didn’t miss out. He was born and raised in Halifax and was extremely knowledgable. We enjoyed learning All about Halifax from him. It was really nice seeing all the highlights from a private car versus being on a bus tour with hundreds of people. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Halifax.

Wonderful experience - Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was in position with a sign as we disembarked from the ship, sent confirmation text messages and was well versed on the area and sites. Pleasant personality, kind and fun. Thank you for making our day in Nova Scotia so enjoyable.

I booked this trip based... - I booked this trip based on reviews which were excellent. Unfortunately the driver we had was not Rick or Stewart, therefore the bad review.
The Vehicle also stunk from cigarette smoke.
