👍👍 We took this tour with my brother and his family, making a group total of 4 adults and 6 children between the ages of 6-16. We had a fascinating day and it was amazing how quickly 6 hrs went by. It was very relaxing to drive around with someone who knew the city (Paul) and could tell/explain so much... People often mention tour, Paul, Halifax, history, Titanic, area, information, guide,

It was very relaxing to drive around with someone who knew the city (Paul) and could tell/explain so much history to us. We enjoyed learning about the halifax explosion and viewing gravestones of Titanic victims. All in all, a day well spent. Would highly recommend!

    This was by far the best tour we took during our 9 day cruise of Canada and New England. Paul is a rare gem in the tour industry. He is very passionate about the area, especially of the Halifax Explosion and the Titanic burial areas. Neither my husband nor I are much into history but Paul gave such an in depth tour of the area and told us so many interesting facts we were truly fascinated by everything. Paul will take you to places the big tour buses can’t access, plus he brought us to a great out of the way restaurant for dinner, which my husband said was the best fish dinner he ever had! Paul is a true gentleman, very personable and the use of the videos and pictures was outstanding. Take this tour...you won’t be disappointed!!

    This was the best tour I have ever been on. Paul's deep knowledge and passion for the area is very impressive. We took our teenage son on the tour, and were initially wondering if a day long tour might be too long. In fact, it was the opposite! Paul's ability to make history come alive through the various site visits and commentary was truly amazing. We all learned so much. Such a beautiful, historic city, and very lucky to have a guy like Paul there to help us understand it better. Thank you!

    This was a great private tour that showed us the beauty of Nova Scotia, ate the best lobster in a quaint villiage and toured 3 wineries. I highly recommend!

    Fantastic experience. Paul is very knowledgable about the area and the history. The tablet enhanced the experience pointing out specific characteristics about each site.

    Must do your! We had a fantastic time in the 6 hour tour with Paul. It was very informative and Paul has a wealth of information to share with you. Add this tour to your must do list!

    Paul McNeil was a true professional and provided a wealth of information. The movies and video clips he played while on the road were very informative and interesting. We enjoyed our tour, with one small exception. I would have liked a longer stop in Mahone Bay to enjoy this beautiful town.

    Paul is what every tour guide should be: well dressed, well informed, very knowledgeable and he knew what the tourist want. You go the "extra mile" with the finer details like your video clips and photos. You educate us about the history and your passion shines through in your description of Nova Scotia. We did 3 tours (17th June to 19th June 2023) with Paul and we were so impressed with his professionalism, we highly recommend these tours to anyone wanting to see and experience what Halifax and areas have to offer.

    Had a really great on the South Shore including Peggy's Cove. Nice little ride in a very comfortable and clean vehicle, Paul was diligent, informative and an altogether great guide. The movies offered on board were great documentaries (though the Titanic one, while I found it incredibly interesting, may not be for everyone as it gets quite graphic about the forensic details of the catastrophe). Peggy's cove is of course beautiful, the visit of the lighthouse's scenery was amazing, and the day went by smoothly. Thank you Paul!

    I had been waiting YEARS to go on one of Paul’s tours.  I had read about how wonderful he was as a tour guide on the different message boards (yes, that’s how far back I read about him!) and wanted to be a part of one of his Halifax tours.   Paul’s Halifax tour was definitely worth waiting for!   It was everything I had read and more.   You can hear and feel the love he has for Halifax and Nov Scotia as he tells you about Halifax, Dartmouth, and the surrounding areas.   The information he shared through his stories, photos, and videos was amazing.   He knew exactly where to bring us so that we will have lasting memories of Halifax, not memories of crowds.  He knows all the spots to be.  For the noon gun at the Citadel and changing of the guard, we were right in front and saw and heard everything. We saw all 3 (that’s right 3 ) Titanic Cemeteries and visited two of them.  We visited the Halifax Explosion Memorial - with the information Paul had shared in the van and his explanations of everything I saw, I was moved to tears.    His passion for sharing the important, human side of the area comes through in everything he does. If you are able to book with Paul for the Historical Halifax tour - DO IT!!!!  Don’t hesitate, he is definitely the best out there and worth the cost of the tour!

    My mum and I did a tour of Lunenburg/Peggy's Cove with Paul this January, because it was off season he did it in his Lincoln town car, which was lovely. He is very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about history. He even picked us up from our hotel at a time that was suitable for us. As well as the tour, he also picked us up and dropped us off from the airport and is very reliable and communicative.

    Just experienced the tour of Halifax and without a doubt, Halifax Titanic Historical Tours is a 'must do gem' if you are interested in the history of this beautiful and friendly city. Paul (owner) was our tour guide. The information, knowledge, resources and passion he has about his city is first rate. Paul is truly professional, accommodating and takes pride in presenting a very detailed, well researched tour of Halifax and the surrounding area. Our tour included a relaxing stop in the charming fishing village of Fisherman's Cove. . . delightful. Paul, thanks again for a fantastic tour!

    Thank you so much Paul for the outstanding Halifax tour! You are an amazingly knowledgeable and personable guide! Although Bill and I had some background of the Titanic and Halifax Explosion you were able to bring them both "to life" and brought so much meaning to these historical events! I would highly recommend anyone in town should jump on board your tour?
