My husband was there on business in Halifax. We took two of Ryan's tours which were well worth it and we got some great photos! More

Let's not kid ourselves - 2 jaded 30-something New Yorkers, a toddler, and a senior is the kind of group that makes grown tour guides cry. Matt, being the intrepid and unflappable soul that he is, took it in stride, and filled every minute of our Peggy's Cove tour, including the drive, with fascinating local tidbits and good-natured humor. He... More

I love the coast, and so does Ryan. Our day trip, from a cruise ship, was really enchanting. The landscape is fantastic, and the guide was excellent. We have a new perspective on Canada's maritime, thanks to our excursion (Peggy's Cove/Coastal Barrens Walk) David&Mimi More

Our guide was knowledgeable, casual, humorous, adventuresome. He took participant's abilities into consideration when planning the hike and kayak experience. He provided us with a tasty lunch at Peggy's Cove and we never felt rushed. It was a very worthwhile experience! More

We meet Ryan at the Pier after coming off the Norwegian Jewel on a September late morning. There were 6 couples in our group. The trip began with a stop downtown at the Citadel for a short history lesson overlooking the harbor with a great view. Ryan then drove us to a small pristine lake with benches where we ate... More

Ryan communicated well with us prior to the trip and met us on time at the pier. He gave us an overview of Halifax before driving to the Peggy's Cove area. Half the group was left at Peggy's Cove and the other half hiked the nearby Barrens. We did the hiking, which was very nice and easy for all. The... More

You can always tell when someone loves what they do and Ryan is a prime example. The tour was full of history and great vistas. Ryan made the trip, though. Full of enthusiasm and charm. The hike was not difficult (through low brush at one point). Very scenic. Lunch is provided in the price and it is very good. Also,... More

I went to Peggy's Cove on Sept.25 with Matt, our tourguide. It was absolutely amazing because he told us amazing things, took great care of us and made delicious lunch! The trip included a hike outside Peggy's, where Matt explained a bit of history and told us everything we wanted to know about the place, plus some pretty cool storied.... More
