Peggy’s Cove & Halifax Historical Tours

Outing that rolls two of the area's most popular tours into one: first the historic sites of the port city of Halifax, then the famous, breathtaking scenery of Peggy's Cove. The route begins at Pier 21, a historic block regarded as Canada's “Ellis Island”, where more than one million immigrants once arrived and over 500,000 people departed during the Second World War. Next comes St. Paul's Church, the oldest Anglican church in the country and one of the buildings that withstood the Great Halifax Explosion of 1917. The tour drives on to Fort Needham Hill, home to a memorial carillon raised for the victims of that disaster, before reaching Canada's most famous lighthouse. Peggy's Cove stands among the most singular and stirring eye-openers in Nova Scotia, as do the quaint seaside hamlets of Shad Bay, Big Lake, East Dover and West Dover, every one of them equally breathtaking.
