Welcome to Halifax, Nova Scotia, the place I call home. While you are visiting, I hope it will be your home too. Halifax has a rich heritage and culture which I am sure you will enjoy. I look forward to sharing and exploring Halifax with you! To see my latest work in Halifax conservation see this video: https://youtu. be/JlnbQS5YZTM I have over ten years of guiding experience and my degree in Classics. I am sure by the end of the tour you will gain a better understanding of Halifax's history and culture. We will discover Halifax's downtown connection to the Titanic, military and much more. I specialize in walking tours. However, on specific request case basis I can book a vehicle for tours. There is so much to offer and enjoy in Atlantic Canada's largest city. So come and enjoy home away from home with me. I have my Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. Mary's University. I majored in Classics and a double minor in Cultural/Urban Geography as well as History. My work experience includes six years at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic as a Interpreter Guide. I dedicate much of my spare time to advocating heritage in Halifax and promoting my historic neighbourhood of Schmidt's Ville. I am also recipient of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia Award for Excellence in Heritage Preservation, 2024. My tours are walking tours. Vehicles are by request and include a professional driver and myself. Please inform of mobility issues and space needs. Vehicle requests have extra cost. Please wear proper footwear. Please contact for other special needs.

William provided a great tour of Halifax. We stopped and spent more time in areas when he realized we had a special interest in it. A walking tour is a great way to learn about the city. Highly recommend.

William was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his city, current and history. He really enjoyed showing us a piece of his town, and not just tourist spots. He adapted his planned itinerary to match our energy levels. Halifax is very hilly! He helped with non-tour suggestions such as where to buy stamps and mail postcards.

Williams very knowledgeable about Halifax. He was able to show us around the Downtown Halifax area in two hours, and hit many highlights. He has a deep connection to Halifax and is politically invested, which comes across in his tour. He spoke passionately about the many changes that have happened in development and social issues of Halifax.
