Many first-time and returning visitors want to take in historic Halifax as well as Nova Scotia's famous coastal scenery. This itinerary includes popular urban points of interest (the Citadel, Public Gardens, St. Paul's church) as well as the coastal fishing villages of Herring Cove and Sambro. We will also visit Fairview Lawn Cemetery (where Titanic victims are buried), Fort Needham Halifax Explosion memorial, and the Hydrostone District built after the 1917 disaster. We then leave the Halifax peninsula, taking the scenic coastal road to Sambro. On the way we will see quaint coastal villages, elaborate 19th-century fortifications, and landmark lighthouses. Opportunities exist for short walks of light to moderate difficulty; these are entirely optional according to your preference. City and Coastal components may be customized as well. NOTE: Peggy's Cove is NOT included in this itinerary -- for that attraction, see the "Secret 'Seanic' Route to Peggy's Cove" tour.
