CUSTOMIZED MULTI-DAY TOURS

DURATION - Various  

”Nova Scotia has been on our bucket list for years!”  

Guests are looking to explore more, staying longer and want to travel to see as much as possible.  They don't want to be packed on a bus with 30 or 40 other strangers.  They want a Private Guide/Driver that knows the area(s) and can travel with the flexibility to stop longer, stop more often or veer off the planned itinerary if the desire arises.    

 

The Customized Touring has really grown for me the past couple years.  I have planned longer day itineraries to overnight 3 - 10 days to even longer seventeen day itineraries.

What does a customize tour look like ?  For a day tour, it can be as simple as using our private day tours listed and adding to it or taking something away, based on your interest.  The touring price is still based on the hourly rate. 

For longer overnight tours or multi-day tours,  I take the time to listen to the guest(s) to get a good sense of what they want to see but also, what they want to 'Experience'.

An outline is created taking into consideration routes, bridges, ferries, accommodations' and the must see and do.  Working with feedback, a finalized outline including an itinerary summary, accommodation listings, pricing, payment schedules, cancelation policy, etc.   is reviewed for approval.  

Once the customized multi-day tour is approved and a deposit is made, a more detailed itinerary is sent out which includes daily maps and routes, a bit more details on the areas being visited etc. 

Pricing for multi-day touring varies based on the length of touring, routes, accommodations and meal requirements for guests/guide as well as the areas we travel to.  We may need to take into consideration tolls for bridges or ferries or tickets to local events.     

For multi-day touring, there are usually two main options.

Option One - guests based in Halifax and we do day trips and return to Halifax each day/evening. Pricing would be based on my tours listed under my profile. (pricing is per tour not per person) Pretty easy to added up the costs plus your local hotel costs etc.

This option gives guests a home base and no need to pack and unpack etc.

Option Two - Road trip ! ... This option can be more exciting but is definitely more involved with planning and pricing as you can well expect. This options allows guest to venture further from Halifax to other areas of Nova Scotia and at times into Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick*. I have planned many custom multi-day tours over the past few years using a base outline and customize based on my guests interests/bucket lists etc. The multiday touring is definitely an increasing trend.

An example of a multi-day tour out of Halifax could be traveling to Cape Breton for a couple days/nights to explore the area including the Cabot Trail; ferry across to Prince Edward Island for a couple more days/nights; taking the Confederation Bridge back to mainland New Brunswick to Hopewell Rocks; returning to the Annapolis Valley and overnight before exploring the South Shore areas of Lunenburg to Peggy's Cove and Halifax.   

Don't forget we can take a full day to tour Halifax and it's local history and beauty.   There are endless options and no two tours are the same. Multi-day touring does take some planning and needs to take into consideration availability of the guide as well as accommodations of areas being visited, especially in peak tourist season.     

We take care of everything from the mapping of routes to the booking of accommodations.  Most multi-day tours are planned months and even a year or more in advance.

*We are currently have limited dates ranges available for 2024 multi-day touring due to high booking confirmations.  We are actively planning tours for 2025. 

A max of 4 persons is recommended, 2 to 4 works really well.   With the inquiries we have received, we are also in the position to offering multi-day touring for larger group of 8 to 12 in 2024/2025. Send us an email or call and we can plan an unforgettable adventure !
