Tour Overview

Stroll through the historic maritime city of Halifax, Nova Scotia - the Jewel of the Atlantic. This 60-minute tour will guide you along the beautiful Halifax Harborwalk, and into the heart of the city. You'll hear about the Halifax Explosion, you'll visit the town's best-known haunted building -- and you'll even check out one of the oldest beer breweries in North America.

NOTE: This tour is not available for download. You may rent an audio player from dozens of locations along the Halifax Waterfront.

The Voice Behind the Tour

Your Host Narrator on this tour is none other than the "Father of Halifax" - Mr. Alexander Keith. And sure, he may have died over a century ago, but he has made a comeback! He was voted the "Most Sociable Man" in Halifax -- so who better than to guide you around the city?

You'll also hear from such Halifax personalities as Costa Elles (local restauranteur and "Arbiteur of Cool") and Gordon Stevens (owner of Rum Runner's and descendant of a local rum smuggler).
