Wine and Women History - Day Tour from Halifax

Nova Scotia is my home and its history is woven into the fabric of my family. Both of my parents were born within 40 yards of the Atlantic Ocean and as children, we grew up learning about the coasts of Nova Scotia.   History was one of my favorite subjects in school and whet my appetite for exploring the places in Nova Scotia where the events actually unfolded. When ToursByLocals arrived it provided the opportunity to show others this story as well as the splendid scenery here. Becoming a Tour Guide has rekindled my interest in history. What could be a better job than offering tours and to entertain people with the sights and flavours of this part of the world?   I will give you one example. I live in direct proximity to one of the most striking events to occur in North America. During the First World War, a catastrophic explosion ripped Halifax apart. Known as the Halifax Explosion it remains the largest man made, pre-nuclear explosion in history. I specialize in bringing that story to you.   I want to thank you for being interested in visiting Nova Scotia and I want to make your visit memorable by showing our beautiful scenery and the history I spoke of. It would be my honor to show all of this and expose you to our famous down east hospitality. The shoreline and landscapes outside the city are beautiful and I only hope my fondness for this part of the world is conveyed in my tours. A Little About Me:  As I indicated in the beginning I have lived here all my life. I have two grown-up sons, one that lives here and one that works in another part of Canada. I also have one grown-up granddaughter who delights us with her stories from her unusual career. Although I am retired I am really pleased to start entertaining visitors to our province   The most famous places here attract a lot of visitors, however, there is more to offer. History is not the only thing to experience on a tour. There are more current sights and interesting places than forts from 400 years ago! Check my tour selection to see what I mean.  Some of my itineraries are slanted toward the interests of women. Why? Because there is a void there. But please understand that tours for gals are not exclusive, all  are welcome.   My favorite parts of the tours is leaving the beaten track. They are the nooks and crannies that I can't wait to show you. Come visit and enjoy your time in Nova Scotia. I am licensed by the Province of Nova Scotia.
