What You Will Do

Join us for a fun and entertaining day while exploring the vibrant city of Halifax! As you walk through the historic city centre, you will see some of the area's most important landmarks such as Halifax Public Gardens, Grand Parade Square, Province House, and the Old Town Clock. All of our guides are residents of Halifax and will share insights and perspectives on Halifax's culture and history as only a local individual can. Halifax is built on a very large hill.

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site

The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is a star-shaped fortress overlooking downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia. Built in 1856, it played a key role in defending the city and the British Empire’s interests in North America. Today, it offers immersive experiences with costumed interpreters, historic reenactments, and stunning city views. Visitors can explore the fort’s walls, tunnels, and exhibits while learning about Halifax’s military history. The daily firing of the noon gun remains a beloved tradition. A must-visit for history buffs, the Citadel brings the past to life in an engaging and interactive way.
