• Maps16309716449 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Knowledgable and friendly guide to discover local Nova Scotia wines In July 2021, my mom and I booked the Deluxe Private Wine Tour with Go North Tours. We were picked up at 10am at our Halifax hotel, and retuned by 4pm. Laila was our guide for the day, and was extremely knowledgable about the Nova Scotia wine industry. She was extremely friendly, and made for a very enjoyable day together. Laila has also traveled in Canada and internationally to other wine regions, which brought a good perspective in contrast to the local industry and products. We selected tastings at Luckett Vineyards, Benjamin Bridge, and Planters Ridge. We also requested a quick stop at L’Acadie Vineyards to purchase bottles of their world renowned sparkling wines. Laila also inquired on our favorite flavour profiles in wine. This then enabled her to make great recommendations of specific wines to taste, base on her own knowledge of the local products. At each vineyard, we tasted at least 4 wines. Sparkling and white wines (including the Tidal Bay) are really the highlight in this wine region of Canada, and was the focus of our tastings. The dry Riesling from Planters Ridge was a great discovery! The white Ortega from Luckett Vineyards was delicious! Tasting different Tidal Bay at each vineyard was also interesting, to compare their different flavour profiles. But there are also experimental products to be discovered, like the Benjamin Bridge “Piquette” and “Pet Nat”. For lunch, Laila had secured an outdoor terrace table at Luckett Vineyards, right alongside the grapes in the field. On a sunny, hot, and slightly windy day, this was the perfect setting!!! The chicken sandwich and salad were really delicious, with quality ingredients, including that home made focaccia bread! Laila also had us bypass the long queue of visitors waiting for lunch and tasting, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, we are glad we booked with Laila from Go North Tours. It was a great balance of knowledge, friendly discussions, and very smooth journey from beginning to end. We finished the day with a few cases of wines to bring back home!

• timwit61 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Between The Vines We did this tour with Laila lad week. She picked us up at our hotel in Wolfville. Our tour included stops and tasting at 3 wineries including lunch at one of them. Everyone knows Laila and her rapport with the wineries and her own personal knowledge of wine making and history and the area made for a very informative and interesting day. Our day ended with a visit to the Tangled Garden, which was a very nice stop to wind down our day. We love tours that are intimate in size and this day in a minivan was outstanding. Laila is a lovely engaging tour guide and her passion for her business is obvious. The whole day from Wolfville was about 6 hours. Add travel time if you're coming from Halifax area.

• patrickrY1655JP 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worse tour of our trip The was the worst tour of our vacation. First off the there were conflicting reports of people on the tour with different times to report so that started the tour 40 minutes late—bad move and should have been a sign. We specifically booked for the reviews of the tour guide Jonathan—we thought he was who we would get and we were under the impression it was a van tour. He emailed us numerous times to the point we were becoming friends and we were very excited about this tour. Well we get on a giant tour bus (not happy) and off we go. It’s a tour that’s to last 5 hours. The second stop we make is to a maple shop. We stop there a bus load of people with one employee and everyone need to use the restroom and wants coffee and souvenirs and one person is doing all of this (running late again besides the start time of 40 minutes). The tour guide is extremely boring, not engaging at all. The Peggy’s Cove stop was adequate but then we stop for lunch and the tour guide and bus driver have to wait tables. On the way back to the cruise terminal half of the bus is sleeping and not listening to the guide and we arrive back 90 minutes late — which is unacceptable. We had other plans which now are cancelled. When I emailed Jonathan Duru (general manager) questioning were we bumped from a private tour to a bus tour and complained; he did not answer the question. Now this is our experience if you like a bus tour where it takes 10 minutes for everyone to get off and then back on and a boring guide then this is for you. Read more Written October 27, 2023

Jonathan Duru is a master story teller, knows Halifax history, as well as the surrounding areas, and I consider his pricing to be very competitive, and about half of what a cruise ship wauld charge. I highly recommend Aberdeen Bus Tours and Jonathan Duru to anyone looking to know more about Halifax and the surrounding area. Read more Written October 26, 2023

On the way to Peggy's cove, we stopped and ate at this place called Shaw's lobster shack. It was right on the water, and that was really good. Oh, and they say, "Piggy's " instead of Peggy's here.
