Private Shore Excursion of Lunenburg

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Nova Scotia made much better by our time spent with Jay exploring the area around Halifax. Especially our introduction to Lunenburg and the addition of a side trip to Oak Island to see where our favorite treasure hunting show on History Channel is filmed. Jay is a font of knowledge about the local and history and took pains to give us a maximum of opportunities to get pictures to document our travels. He was especially attentive to insuring my wife was comfortable despite a day of cool temps and rain showers. Goes with the territory in NS. We did a second day with Jay to Peggy’s Cove which was also very enjoyable and informative.

We had the best experience of our entire 9 day cruise with Jay visiting Halifax. Skip the Royal Caribbean excursions and travel with Jay through Tours by Locals! We saw the Titanic exhibit & more in the Museum of the Atlantic. Cemetery where Titanic victims were laid to rest. Traveled to Lunensburg, on the way stopping@ the Oak Island causeway@ memorial stone. If u travel that route u might try stopping@ the Mug&Anchor (Closed on Wed) located in Mahone Bay. It is a popular spot where the Oak Island team sometimes film. All & all Jay gave us the perfect trip giving us informative details of the area. Thanks Jay from our group of 6!!! Kate

Jay was a terrific guide, extremely knowledgeable and personable. He shared many relevant stories of the area. The stops at Lunenberg Academy, St. John's Church, and Lunenberg's Museum were very interesting. We saw the Blue Nose II come in and went aboard. Our lunch stop at Rebecca's was delicious and included Digby scallops. During the drive we conversed about many topics easily. Well done and thank you so much Jay! Dave and Cindy from St Louis

Jay was a knowledgeable and charming tour guide. We enjoyed our time with him immensely, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to tour the Halifax area. His specialty is military history, but his general historical knowledge is impressive, and we learned so much from him.

We had a great day with Jay. He was super knowledgeable about the area and answered all of the many questions we came up with. He tailored the tour to our interests, was on time, and very pleasant to spend the day with.

This is our second time with Jay and he always keeps us interested. He has extreme depth of knowledge about Canadian history as well as US history so, as a US history buff, We had good conversations. We went to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg and he was very accommodating taking my wife to yarn shops (yawn). We had delicious ice cream, saw the interesting sites, and had a delicious early dinner in Mahone Bay at Rebecca's. He does book up so book early. He has a few different itineraries.
