Best of Halifax guided tour with Citadel and Maritime Museum

-What you can expect-
Your tour begins with your friendly local guide meeting you outside Uncommon Grounds Café in the Halifax Public Gardens. From there, you will begin your walk through the gardens.

Halifax Public Gardens is one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian garden in North America. You will love the peaceful stroll through the grounds, passing by stunning floral foliage.

From there you will also get a chance to see the historic Camp Hill Cemetery, The Halifax Commons - Canada’s oldest urban park -, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre.

As you continue, you will pass the Citadel National Historic Site. The large hill of the site led the British military to found the town there in 1749. Among the first buildings constructed was a wooden guardhouse on top of what would eventually be called Citadel Hill, with Halifax’s first settlers building their homes at the base of the hill. After walking past this site, you will come upon the Halifax Clock Tower before heading to City Hall and St. Paul’s Anglican Church. You will continue along to the beautiful waterfront, passing the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia on the way. As you walk along the boardwalk you’ll get the chance to see the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, the Discovery Centre, and dozens of amazing restaurants and stores.

As you reach The Canadian Immigration Museum at Pier 21, your tour will come to a close.
