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.
