We enjoyed the ride from Halifax to the coast to visit the quaint fishing village of Peggy's Cove. The driver and our guide were both very friendly and had a tremendous amount of knowledge of the area and the history of Nova Scotia. Our guide made terrific use of the time on board the bus by informing us about the history of the region. We had ample time on our own to walk around at Peggy's Cove and took beautiful pictures on the rocks with the lighthouse. On our return back to the cruise ship, we learned more about the culture and had time for a stop at the Fort on the top of the hill overlooking the waterfront. I would highly recommend this tour to learn about the history of Nova Scotia and see some beautiful sights

Had a very nice trip through the City of Halifax and then a trip out to Peggy’s Cove. The tour guide was very informative and had a thorough knowledge of the area. She provided information about history of the various places, as well as information about current events including a drive by where the crane that had collapsed on a couple buildings during Hurricane Dorian. The only negative part of the trip was that we were the last couple on the bus and had to sit at the very back, where the washroom totally obscured our view on the one side.

Overall we enjoyed the tour and the tour guide. However, we were very disappointed that no stop was made at the Citadel as listed in the tour description: "During the drive back to Halifax, a photo stop will be made at the Halifax Citadel. The hilltop location offers visitors a panoramic view of the harbor and the city. We wanted take photographs of the guards and the scene from the top of the Citadel. We were driven around the outside of the Citadel on the winding road, but no effort was made for the picture stop. We had expected this to be one of the highlights of this tour.

Peggy's Cove is a pretty fishing village with a lighthouse on granite rocks and a number of colorful houses dotted around. It has a very small population usually, but it was busy on our visit as there were 3 cruise ships in town! We enjoyed the small art gallery displaying the work of a local artist. There are also good souvenir shops and places to eat. The weather was unexpectedly delightful and our very experienced guide gave us a lot of information on our drive, about the history of the area and about Canada in general.

This excursion was such a good value compared to anything the cruise line offered. We had a bus tour of Halifax to start, then drove out to Peggy's Cove, had about an hour there, then drove back to Halifax, touring a different area. We even went by the Citadel. The guide was knowledgeable and fun with her narration. Now here is the best part: We found out the day before that the ship would be two hours late arriving in Halifax; we were to join the tour right after arrival. The guide and bus were right where our printed directions said they would be and the tour lasted as long as it had been stated.

The guide was knowledgeable and laid back. The bus was small so much nicer than large bus! Had a nice tour of Halifax before heading out of town then to Peggy’s Cove with explanation about the cove. Time to wonder then went back to the city from another way so able to see a bit more landscape.

Do not want to miss this excursion
November 07, 2017
Typically we like to do our own thing on vacation but decided to take this tour given the amount of time we had and are very pleased we did. The bus tour part is informative and hits all the typical spots but in my mind it was mainly just a way to get to Peggy's Cove. Peggy's Cove is very small in area with only a small local population but it is huge in interesting things to do and see. Started on the rocks (being very careful to avoid the dark slippery ones as our guide warned us about) we hit the lighthouse for some one of a kind photo shots. Next we hit the Sou'Wester restaurant for some of the world's best seafood chowder and of course those lobster rolls. After getting our fill we wandered around the town looking at the brightly colored houses before finishing our day in the gift shop. All in all one of my favorite trips of all time.

October 25, 2017
This tour to Peggy's Cove was fine, and less expensive than the similar trip through the ship. Complaints are how fast the guide walked us through the town of Peggy's Cove, leaving the few serious photographers behind, and not having time to go into the fort in Halifax...only driving by the entrance for a quick photo. Would have preferred more time here rather than the drive through town at the beginning of the tour.

I have been on tours previously and he told me things I had not heard before. Coming back from Peggy's Cove we took a different route so we saw more of the Halifax surroundings.

Such a memoriable afternoon, our driver took us past graveyards from Titanic survivors during the town tour. He was eliquent and funny. He pointed out all the unique heritage and safety features at Peggy's Cove, before we left the bus. This extra precaution was so very appreciated as we explored this charming community and had lobster rolls. We had a single passenger return late to the bus. He was pleasant and calm with that person and we returned to MS Maasdam in great spirits.

Wonderful tour of Peggy's Cove
January 04, 2017
We chose this tour because we were able to see Peggy's Cove but also get an overview of Halifax. Our guide picked us up at the cruise terminal and gave us an overview of the history of Halifax on our drive to Peggy's Cove. Our guide was also the driver of our coach but was able to talk and navigate without missing a beat. We had ample time to walk around Peggy's Cove, take photos at the lighthouse and also have warm gingerbread at a restaurant our guide recommended. After Peggy's Cove we returned to Halifax and stopped at an overlook point. We had the opportunity to walk back to our ship (all downhill!) or ride back.

The rocks,ocean and lighthouse are striking. Every where you turned there were both beautiful scenes and tourists.We had about half an hour or less to walk around, shop and use the facilities ( there was a line).

This tour picked us up at the dock and transported us in a small bus [capacity of about 20] which was not filled. It was a tour that included people from a Halifax hotel who were told that it included a tour of the cemetery where some of the victims of the Titanic were buried. So, as the tour driver, who was a local resident said, this is a ""value added"" tour. She was an excellent driver and guide and we received a lot of interesting information and tid-bits about the local area, including Peggy's Cove. I would highly recommend this tour.

Cruising on Royal Caribbean, arriving in Halifax on 11 September 2016. We were met dockside, on time by a bubbly, cheerful representative, Marie. This was a most superb tour of Halifax, which continued on to Peggy's Cove to continue this great tour. The tour was made that way THANKS to Marie, our Tour Guide (should say Tours Goddess here). The beautiful scenery, seashore, Halifax, its history, and Peggy's Cove and history came very much alive and most enjoyable with Marie's commentary. She knew it all, drew us into the tour and made it, if not the best, most assuredly one of best of many taken. The weather was somewhat overcast, but that did not stop the sun from shining through, brought on by Marie. If you got to Halifax, this tour through Molaga Tours and with Marie is an absolute MUST DO.

We found an hour was perfect for us, unless you want to just sit around and enjoy view you should be fine with an hour. We walked about, took lots of pictures, even got a stamp in my passport that says Peggy's Cove NS in the main gift shop upstairs. The city tour was nice, the guide was very informative. We stopped at the Citadel for about 10 minutes to take pictures. The port in Halifax isn't that great, there are a few shops and small farmers market there where you can get food. Bus was a little warm on the ride, weather was warm for August when we went.

We were glad to learn about Halifax, since we knew absolutely nothing beforehand. The story of the Halifax ship explosion was very interesting, as was the link to Boston ever after. Peggy's Cove was so quaint and a perfect little fishing village. Very picturesque too! Our driver was very good and full of information to share with us. A pleasant man and perfect for the job! We could have kept listening to the wealth of information he provided.

A full day in a lovely town
June 28, 2015
This was a nice tour to start out our trip. It is longer, but we were ready for it after a sea day. The stop at the Titanic Cemetery was surprisingly interesting. And Peggy's cove was stunning. Friends took the longer trip to Peggy's but we felt that this was just enough time. Our guide was humorous, well informed and full of wonderful stories. While Halifax is a walkable town, we appreciated the highlights and the history overview. Several of our guests were over 75 and they were able to keep up fine.

We traveled by a small coach which was very pleasant. Taking pictures from side windows can be difficult, because of reflections on the glass. We loved our guide.

Bus was quite late, and there was some discrepancy about where to meet it. Once we left, the ride out to Peggy's Cove was uneventful. The Cove is a must-see; one of the most scenic locations we've experienced. We had very little Halifax City touring, and would have liked more.

October 01, 2014
This trip provided a good way to see sights not within walking distance from our ship, ie Peggy's cove. I booked it because I thought this company used small 6-8 passenger vans, but I was incorrect. That said, despite several less able-bodied people on the trip, it went quite smoothly. The guide was well informed and pleasant.

Great way to see the area
July 11, 2014
Comfortable bus with knowledgeable, pleasant guide. He drove us around Halifax and pointed out things to see on our own and made a few suggestions for restaurants. He showed us options if we wanted to get off the bus towards the end and walk back to the cruise ship. During the longish, pleasant ride to Peggy's Cove he filled in with interesting information about the people and area such as the competition for growing giant pumpkins. We had plenty of time to eat at Peggy's Cove, but didn't have time to eat and explore. Since it was chilly and windy we were happy to sit in Southwester's and enjoy their wonderful seafood chowder and admire the view through the picture windows. I would have liked more time at Peggy's cove to walk around after we ate. My elderly mother was able to enjoy the tour and younger people would have been able to walk and explore more to suit their interests as well. Good choice for us.

Our guide, Marie was terrific, a true professional who, as a native of the area showed with Scottish pride, her Halifax, her Peggy's Cove and as a bonus the Titanic grave site. Five of us traveled in a 12 passenger van due to 6 no shows and another traveler that became ill. We waited for the no-shows for about 20 minutes and because we were so patient, Marie added the Titanic site. A truly special four hour tour.

Tour is a must see
October 31, 2012
The tour guide was very informative about the area, and did a wonderful job. The disappointment was picking us up at the pier in an old school bus, that was uncomfortable. I know the situation was not the fault of the tour company. I left an autographed picture of Peggy's Cove on the school bus, and called the area phone number and spoke to a John. We explained to John that we had left a picture on the school bus, and asked that the picture be taken to our cruise ship, and he said it was not possible to do it that day, but took our address information, and assured us he would mail the picture to us. We have been home from the cruise since October 14th, and have not seen our picture. That is disappointing, because we so enjoyed our time in Peggy's Cove. Other than what was mentioned above, the tour was very good, and informative.

I do not know about Titabic very much except the movies and some adventurous stories. Visiting the graveyard of the Titanic victims really touched me especially those of the children's. I also would like to revisit Peggy's Coves. I think it will take a full day in order to venture into the niches of Peggy' Cove and to visit the light house.
