Peggy's Cove & City Hop On, Hop Off

Enjoy four tours in one and all with choice and flexibility. See the city sites by double-decker bus and the tiny coastal village of Peggy’s Cove by motorcoach, and even take in some shopping. From the moment you leave the pier, your kilted guide will point out interesting sites and vistas all the way to Peggy’s Cove. As you arrive, you’ll see for yourself the impressive rock formations and coastal beauty of this rustic working fishing village. Here you can enjoy leisure time on your own, exploring the unique galleries and shops, taking photos, talking to the local fisherman or trying the famous gingerbread. If you wish, your guide will offer you a brief a live lobster demonstration. While back at the pier and at your leisure, have the city’s entire double-decker bus fleet at your service and your ticket is good all day. This great guided tour by double-decker offers you three separate 30-minute tour choices with over 12 stops. The 'All About Town Loop' tour takes you to all the city’s main points of interests. The 'Waterfront Loop' guides you along the city’s historic waterfront with several scheduled stops on route. Or take the 'Changing of the Guard Loop' allowing you time to witness the pageantry and precision of the changing of the guard at the Halifax Citadel, one of Canada’s most beloved national historic sites. Whatever you decide, whether it’s spending time shopping in the many unique boutiques along Spring Garden Road, strolling along the picturesque waterfront, or uncovering the city’s history at the Town Clock, St. Paul’s Church and beauty of the Victorian-style Public Gardens, this tour offers you the best value. Note: The departure time indicated on your ticket is for the Peggy’s Cove by Coach portion of the tour which is 3 1/2 hours in length. Your double-decker experience is taken at your leisure before or after the trip to Peggy’s Cove, depending on your choice of a morning or afternoon Peggy’s Cove tour departure. The duration of the double-decker portion of the tour is really up to you. Double-decker buses depart the pier approximately every 15 to 30 minutes all day long. Optional admissions are not included at the various stops on this tour. On occasion, big pink motorcoaches may be used in conjunction with double-deckers on the Hop on, Hop off portion.
