All tours are senior and kid friendly ... However, please note the following:

  • Kid Friendly -  Please advise if a booster seat is required and we can provide.
  • I am unable to accommodate child/baby car seats in the vehicle. 
  • Please advise of any mobility issues and if a guest has a walker, so I can ensure room the day of the tour.  I don't always have room for folding walkers. (I usually have cleaning suppliers and a cooler onboard)  I have very limited space for storage. Contact me with any questions at all. Ty 
  • Wheel Chair -  I am generally not able to accommodate wheel chairs or motorized scooters due to available space.  Having said that I have accepted some in the past on a case by case bases.  There is more space in our Ford Transit based on availability.  Guests must be able to enter and exit the vehicle safely unassisted. This combined with a lower number of guests to accommodate space requirements.  (ie. Room in back or folded down back seat)   Please contact me before booking if this is a request.   Showing up for a tour without advising of a wheel chair or mobility scooter may result in delaying the tour or cancellation due to lack of space/preparation. 
  • Thank you for your understanding.

NOTE: Not all tour companies operating in Halifax are properly licensed. One operator, See Sight Tours, has been legally suspended for five years effective February 12, 2025. (see legal ruling) Yet they continue to operate illegally.  They have been stopped by authorities, ticketed, fined, and have even left guests stranded at Peggy’s Cove. They are now banned from operating at the cruise ship port.

When choosing a tour company, it is important to ensure the operator is fully licensed and compliant with Nova Scotia’s transportation regulations. A legal operator will have:

• A front Motor Carrier numbered plate with CV, P, or Px designation
• Required company lettering and identification displayed on the vehicle
• A valid Safety Inspection Sticker in the front windshield, typically lower centre, renewed every six months
• A driver with a minimum Class 4 Commercial Driver Licence

Licensed taxi services and limousine companies are also considered safe and approved operators.
