Enjoy the sights and sounds of Halifax with a city tour aboard a vintage double-decker bus.
See the historic and revitalized downtown core of this diverse and cosmopolitan city, with stunning waterfront views. Hear stories of some major events in Halifax's history, from the sinking of the Titanic to the massive Halifax Explosion that literally rocked the city to its core.
Hop off and on the bus at a variety of stops, such as the Halifax Citadel, the Public Gardens, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Province House, and great shopping destinations such as Historic Properties and Spring Garden Road. Visit the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, home to the gravesite where 121 victims of the tragic sinking of the Titanic are laid to rest.
The 90-minute circuit begins at the cruise terminal. Board the bus and enjoy the ride until you reach a part of the city you would like to explore. Hop off (and back on) as many times as you wish.
A brochure provides a detailed map to help you plan your day with ease and accuracy.
