I give the port five stars because it really is a very nice area even if you don’t want to venture off of the pier. It’s a boardwalk that spans approximately 2 miles filled with the restaurants, shops and great photo ops. Totally enjoyed just walking around taking in the sea air And watching the sailboats.

Nice surprise....we enjoyed walking the boardwalk, eating at various places along the way and the visit to the Citadel was very good...don't miss the museum inside the Citadel.

Did the hop on/hop off Grayline tour excursion and learned a lot about Halifax. The explosion 100 years ago that destroyed most of the city and over 2,000 people, visited the graves of over 100 victims of the Titanic and how White Star Lines had offices in Nova Scotia. The tour guides for Grayline were great. Learned a lot I did not know about Halifax. Such beautiful weather while we were there too.

We did Peggy's Cove and Titanic Fairlawn Cemetary. Peggy's Cove was INCREDIBLE. It was a long ride but so worth the trip. I do wish we could have had a bit longer there. Next stop was the Cemetary where some of the Titanic passengers were buried. On our way there the guide told us there was a road closure due to a sink hole at the bottom of the cemetary road so they had to go in a different way from the top of the cemetary. It was on a very steep hill and he said he didn't recommend those with mobility issues to make the walk. I was extremely disappointed as I was looking so forward to that part as much as Peggy's Cove. My husband was a trooper and went to take pictures for me because he knew how disappointed I was. When he returned to the bus he said I never would have made it. The tour guide we had on that tour was incredibley knowledgable and made the long trip out to Peggy's Cove, the cemetary, and back to the ship so much more tolerable with his extensive narratives about the history of all those areas. He was so personable too. I do highly recommend this tour. He even told us about the massive Halifax naval ship explosion !disaster which I had never heard about before. He really did a great job

Peggy’s Cove was outstanding. Tour guide was excellent and we also stopped at Fairlawn Cemetery where 150 people from the Titanic are buried.
