Hello Guests. . . . Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio. I have been in the tourism industry for my entire career. My previous life was with Canada's National Railroad, Via Rail Canada where I spent 35 years. I was responsible for Food and Beverage and sourcing new products to enhance our services. I am a Foodie. . . My wife and I love to travel and experience new adventures. . I have cruised the Greek Islands, have done several road trips to California, Arizona, Texas, the Carolinas, Florida etc. . . We have also travelled extensively in Europe. I love to golf, play pickel ball and just recently learnt to play the guitar, harmonica and the mandolin. I have soft spot old cars and truly enjoy a good scotch or bourbon, I would never pass up an oppurtunity to smoke a cigar!! I understand what travellers are looking for when visiting Halifax on a cruise ship, or staying longer in a hotel or B&B. I truly strive to provide you My Guest an opportunity to enjoy the food, culture, history and the beauty of our hidden gems of Halifax Nova Scotia. (New Scotland in Latin) Living in the area and have discovered little coves and trails that are lovely and quaint. I am a "local Guide" Your personalized tour to the famous Peggy's Cove Lighthouse and village and other great locations will not disappoint you. Please review the other tours I offer. I specialize in Private Tours, and do not mix in others on your tour as other guides / companies generally do I take you off the beaten path and away from large crowds and tour buses were you can enjoy the sights more freely and spend the time enjoying the vistas with your family and friends. You will have a chance to meet locals that love to share their stories and sample their food, from fantastic fish and chips to Lobster roll sandwiches, steamed fresh lobsters to Maple Syrup, fantastic local wines and micro brews as well. My vehicles are government inspected registered and insured. We have also added an audio system for clarity. . . I have just upgraded my vehicle to a 7 pax very comfy Honda Pilot Touring. If you require larger vehicles for families and friends I can arrange the following transportation vehicles: 14 pax, 24, and 48 depending on availability. Please book in advance as in peak season these vehicles are in high demand. Registered by the Utility Board of Nova Scotia, and the Province of Nova Scotia. Qualified for first aid and AED Class 4 and 5 Drivers license My tours are about local cultures and scenic routes.
