Great hotel , great excursion and very friendly people throughout . Shame we have to leave . - Group of 7 persons led by Sam the driver/owner . We ALL had a great day as Sam very knowledgeable and enthusiastic . It included her dog (Rigby) who was well looked after at the back of the vehicle with her own space . It was a long day 9 1/2 hours and was very informative. Being a relatively small group we all spoke to each other easily in the vehicle when Sam was quiet a few times . Despite the long day we all had a very enjoyable trip and would heartily recommend Alternative Routes as your go to trip company when visiting Halifax .

A must-do day trip - The day trip was great, it was a fun way to see some of the highlights of Nova Scotia (I especially loved being able to get my feet wet at the beach). Ian was friendly and knowledgeable, the van was comfortable and we even had nice weather! I definitely recommend booking this tour.

Great day trip and great tour guide - This was a wonderful day trip to see a bunch of different parts of Nova Scotia. Laurie was a fantastic driver and guide, super knowledgeable and very friendly. As long as you don't mind a lot of driving, this is a great intro tour to the area!

Not to be missed! - This is a great tour of Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg, not to be missed. This tour has a maximum of 7 passengers but there was only myself and my husband. Our tour guide was superb!

Will not use Tripadvisor site again. - I did not book this tour through Tripadvisor as my attempts to complete the booking and secure a pickup site was never completed. I cancelled my booking with Tripadvisor and successfully booked the trip through Aviator.
