Halifax, a city with a significant maritime history, is the focus of this 4.5-hour bus tour combining its historic sites with a visit to Peggy’s Cove. The tour starts at Pier 21, known as Canada’s "Ellis Island," where over one million immigrants arrived and more than 500,000 departed during World War II. Participants then visit St. Paul's Church, the oldest Anglican church in Canada, which survived the 1917 Halifax Explosion. The tour continues to Fort Needham Hill to see the memorial carillon dedicated to the explosion’s victims. Afterward, the group travels to Peggy’s Cove to view Canada’s most famous lighthouse and the surrounding small seaside communities including Shad Bay, Big Lake, East Dover, and West Dover. Along the route, the tour includes stops at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site for a drive-around if weather permits, the Fairview Lawn Cemetery where guides explain the history of the RMS Titanic and its victims, and the Halifax Public Gardens, the second oldest public garden in North America, where the botanical features are explored. A professional guide leads the entire tour.
