The tour was ok. It started with much confusion as the driver did not know who was picking up. Once we were in car, he had another group that gave the wrong location for pick up. The tour started an 1/2 hour late. As were on a cruise we had a tight schedule which made us among the last to board. Overall, it was a good tour but would have like more time at Peggy's Cove but as we did the Citadel and Cemetery first it left a shorter window to see Peggy's Cove.

Our guide Andrew was knowledgeable, articulate, and very engaging. But the drive from Halifax to Peggy's Cove was very long.

Good tour, good guide/driver. Love the small group atmosphere. Certainly peaked my interest in Halifax. To give the area justice a few days lodging in the area will be required.
