"The tour guide was outstanding, she really knew her stuff and kept the whole trip fun and interesting."
"My experience with the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus was wonderful. All the guides were knowledgable and the availability of locations was great. One could stay on the bus through a cycle, or get on and off the bus during the first cycle. I had a great time and met several nice people."
"A must do in Halifax! Very informative tour guides and great drivers! 10 possible stops. We went around once fully which was 90 minutes, the got off on a few stops the next time around. We highly recommend this excursion."
"There is a lot to see in Halifax. I absolutely love this city. We had plenty of time to hop on and off at the places we wanted to visit. The buses ran very regularly so it was easy to see a lot in a short period of time."
"Awesome experience. All staff, hosts and drivers were amazing. Definitely recommend! Thanks for a fun experience."
"Great way to see Halifax! Super convenient, and not overbooked at all. Staff were accommodating. Double decker busses were a lot of fun. Busses also mostly ran on time. We were able to use this to get a tour and pop off to a couple museums and parks before getting back to the boat! Good value!"
"Great way to see the sights! Guides had great local stories you won't find on Google!"
