Join this full-day tour to discover and explore all things Canadian.
Urbane and sophisticated, Halifax gracefully merges a modern cityscape with colonial architecture. Hear the riveting story of the Halifax Explosion and why a huge spruce tree is given to Boston every year as a thank you from Nova Scotia.
Departing the city, the lighthouse route leads you to two outstanding south-coast villages.You will visit famed Peggy's Cove, with its glacial rock deposits and stunning lighthouse tableau that is the stuff of picture postcards,.and the UNESCO World Heritage Site town of Lunenburg, where simple Cape Cod architecture is celebrated in the antique downtown core, and brightly-painted stores and artisan workshops march in colorful profusion along the hillside on the bay.
Enjoy a traditional seafood lunch at a local restaurant.
Visit Acadian Maple, where the house specialty is locally-curated treats ranging from pure Nova Scotia maple syrup to award-winning Glynnevan Canadian rye whiskies. While here, sample a traditional, delicious snack made with local blueberries.
