Great views and wine tasting - Had a great time on this tour. Went deeper into the Arcadian history. Enjoyed incredible scenery of Nova Scotia's agricultural life. Tasted delicious wine, cheeses and ice-cream. Always having special photo sites/spots, thanks to Paul. This was my 3rd tour with amazing/knowledgeable and warm tour guide Paul, from Half day Tours. Did the Half day Historic one (learned what has shaped the contemporary Nova Scotia's people). Did the Half day Peggy's Cove/Lunenburg, learned more about Nova Scotia's culture. Highly recommend the 3 tours and Paul's unique, professional, passionate and warm guide. Another thing to point out is that groups are small and bus is very comfortable.

The Perfect Day - It was perfect! I loved the onboard films. They were informative and made the travel time fly by. Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the areas and the sites we visited. His introductory question when we got on the bus asking us where we were from helped our group bond Paul was thoughtful and considerate. I definitely would recommend any of Paul’s tours.

2 Great Tours With Paul - We had back 2 back cruises so had 2 stops in Halifax. We toured with Paul to the Annapolis Valley and also on the historic Halifax tour. We truly enjoyed our tours. Paul is very responsive to email or text or call and met us right across from the ship at Pier 22. We learned so much about Halifax and the surrounding area and its history as well as Titanic history as a bonus. The van was comfortable and the lunch stops were local restaurants and so good. The 2 winery stops in Annaoplis were so different ( one large and more formal and the other a family owned and run establishment with individual selections based on personal wine preferences) but we liked them both. You cant go wrong booking with Paul.

Beautiful Vistas, Personal Service - Paul really knew the best places in the area to visit. He was happy to give me some extra time at Grand-Pré when I mentioned I’m Acadian. He took us to Halls Harbor at just the right time to walk on the sea bed while the tide was out. He also had some fun short videos about local history for us to watch while on the way. The first winery he took us to was so much fun and felt like a personal wine tour. Lucketts was also fun to visit. I liked the way Paul’s tour focused on seeing the beautiful landscape and on smaller venues that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise, as well as the main stops.

Annapolis Valley Tour - Paul, our guide delivered an amazing tour of the Annapolis Valley! He supplied us with lots of information about Halifax and each area we visited! We stopped to see the views of the Bay of Fundy and then got a closer look when we visited Halls Harbour! Lunch at Halls Harbour Lobster Pound was delicious! The gelato and wine tasting stops were great! The Church Street Winery created a personal tasting for all members of the tour! You can tell Paul enjoys his job and sharing his knowledge!

A wonderful opportunity to see the countryside in Nova Scotia - Our guide Paul was an expert on history, geography and had the ability to share facts and information in an interesting way. We were not rushed during the day, there were lots of photos opportunities. I learnt about Arcadian history, had a delicious lunch and a relaxing wine experience.The day was excellent , with videos while we were driving . I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in seeing Nova Scotian countryside, include the Bay of Fundy and its tides.
