It was an enjoyable experience, though I felt it was pricey at $163 per person for just being driven to three sites. We received guided commentary during the rides, but once we arrived, we were mainly on our own. It was disappointing to learn that 90% of Lunenburg was closed until May, especially after a one-hour drive just to have lunch. Arjun was very nice, providing timely pickup and good communication ahead of the tour.
The price didn't seem justified for an off-season tour, as many shops, museums, and art galleries were shut. Arjan from Alpha Tours is a nice guy, but his insights and knowledge were just a bit better than what you'd expect from an Uber driver. He should provide more engagement during the long drives to keep everyone awake and involved, especially those in the back seats.
Arjun was very friendly and provided great recommendations on places to visit. His knowledge made the experience even better.
The tour guide was excellent, making for a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. It truly was a wonderful day, and I appreciate it.
The tour was enjoyable, and we arrived at each location promptly. The views and sites were stunning. My only issue was the windy and cold weather, but that wasn't anyone’s fault.
It was a fantastic experience, and I was fortunate to have pleasant weather! The tour guides were exceptional and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
This tour was excellent, providing a wealth of information and great accommodations. Our driver was kind, professional, and had a soothing voice that made the facts and information easy to absorb. Overall, it was a delightful experience.
Adjar and Agnus were wonderful hosts who ensured we felt welcome and well cared for. They were both insightful and organized, making the experience truly enjoyable.
Be ready for a full day at Peggy's Cove and dress comfortably as you'll be in a van for several hours. Also, prepare for varying weather conditions.
Arjun's tour from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, and the Titanic Cemetery was an excellent experience. Despite the rainy May day, our small group allowed us to reach Peggy’s Cove before the crowds, enabling us to capture lighthouse photos without anyone else in the background. In Lunenburg, Arjun suggested a restaurant with the best seafood chowder we tasted on our East Coast trip to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. I won't spoil the secret; you'll have to ask Arjun for it. The drive offered stunning scenery along with informative insights from our guide. The visit to the Titanic Cemetery was also memorable. We highly recommend this tour.
