Our tour lasted almost 7 hours and we were on a cruise ship and in Halifax for the day. He picked us right up at the port, had a sign with our names on it and there were 4 others with us in a nice van. A great small group of 6 people. We toured around the whole city, got to walk through the Public Gardens, stopped at the Citadel and saw the cannon fire at noon and the changing of the guard, learned so much about the explosion that killed many in Halifax and also learned things I did not know about the Titanic. We went to 2 different Titanic cemetaries and passed by even more. We stopped in a charming fishing village and had lunch at a local and delicious seafood restaurant. We could not have asked for a better day with a more enthusiastic host. He provided waters for us the entire day and also had a TV screen in the car to show us pictures and videos about all of the great stories he told us throughout the day.

We met on a wet & soggy afternoon in front of the Fish Shop at the Halifax Market. Groups are limited to about 12 people. Forget your umbrella or poncho? no problem, there are some goodies in Emily's red tote bag. The longest walking segment is from the Market to Barrington st., then everything else is 2-3 minutes to the next location. At each location, we are told a nice tid bit of history about the area and the business we will be enjoying a tasting from. Here is what we enjoyed during our walk: The Fish shop - chowder with smoked salmon Uncommon Grounds - seedy oat cakes Talay Thai - spring rolls Morris Eats - pizza Rum Runners - rum cake Chives - biscuit with carrot soup Timing is important and the walk is relaxed enough so that we hit each spot on time. For 25$ per person, this is probably the best money spent for anybody who is new to Halifax, or visting family and want to discover great locales.

There was something for everyone, we started with the best fish in chips I have had, and ended with Belgium chocolate to die for! But along the way we discovered hidden gems in Halifax. Haliburton house "Stories" can't wait to go back, and I was so impressed with Elements, this is not your standard hotel restaurant people! They not only support local businesses buy using local food within a 50 mile radius but it tastes great too! How can I forget to mention the beer! The sweet beer! Garrisons brewery, wow! This was a first for me, but definitely not a last. I sampled the raspberry wheat beer...yummy. I can't' wait to go back and work my way through the rest of the selections. $40, well worth it, I promise you will not be disappointed. . This is a fresh idea if your looking for something new to try, highly recommend this tour.

I was rather disappointed with most of the stops, up till the end (Five Fishermen). When we went,…read morewe started at Goldwater in the market, where we had a bite-sized lobster roll; which was super fresh and quintessential Nova Scotia, but rather small. We went from there to Johnny Ks, where we had a bite-sized beef gyro, which while tasty, was a very small portion, and nothing special. From there we puttered out of the downtown area to the Chain Yard Cidery, where one of the managers met with the group and shared great details about their business, along with two shots of cider (which were both delicious), and a tasty treat. From there we went to Salvatore's for a mini slice of cold pizza (underline & italicize mini and cold), which was extremely disappointing. We wrapped up at Five Fishermen, for chowder and wine, which was the highlight (followed by the Chain Yard). The chowder was a good portion, and I appreciated the two glasses of local wines. I've taken food tours in other cities, and was expecting similar (more upscale). Their price is less than other tours I've taken (which helps), but I didn't take a food tour to have a bite of a gyro and a cold half-a-slice of pizza. I understand the lobster roll as a coastal treat, and it was very fresh, the other two stops were what I was expecting for the entire experience. With so many restaurants in the downtown area, I'm not sure why we drove to the outskirts and back. I thought there would've been a stop for a scoop of infamous Nova Scotian homemade ice cream (plenty of options, and relatively cheap). If Five Fisherman didn't accommodate our food-allergy (nothing was offered as an alternative at Goldwater), I would've been extremely frustrated, and our tour-guide wasn't sure they'd have something for us, even though we gave advanced notice of the shellfish allergy and they said it would be fine. On the plus side, the tour guide did a great job sharing the history of Halifax, was very knowledgeable about local wines, and enthusiastic about the food scene.

The ride itself was very comfortable and relaxing. The carriages only have a few seats but you have a good amount of room inside which is nice. The seats were soft and comfy. They also had blankets in case we got cold. We had a great time and would definitely recommend these tours for anyone going to Lunenburg.

Top of our list was to have a horse and carriage ride around that pretty town. It's a beautiful place, but Shay, our expert driver brought the whole town to life. Not only was it interesting to hear about the history of the architecture and who lived in these beautiful homes, but we also got to hear about what happened to the horses during the wildfires. Farmers all over the province came with horse trailers to help get horses to safety. Amazingly kind people love on the East coast! If you are to Nova Scotia , make sure to go to Lunenburg, put this on your list as a must do. It really does take you back to the early days when life was much simpler and it was a delightful ride. Shay's parents came for a visit with their family a couple of years ago, fell in love with Lunenburg. They found the horse farm business, bought it from a retiring farmer. Shay, was already a carriage horse driver in beautiful Niagara on the Lake! We plan to return one day and have a few lovely carriage rides. Thank you Shay and your parents "who bought the farm"!
