Beach4me Posted October 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hey gang, Looking for any recommendations for private tours to Lunenburg out of Halifax. Just want to go to Lunenburg for a few hours - nothing else. I asked a taxi driver at the pier last week how much it would be. He said $350. We had other plans last week (didn't even ask him until headed back to the ship) but would like to start making plans for next year's visit. Thanks for your input!

Beach4me Posted October 31, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Still sorting through all the GREAT info you've provided. (thanks again!) I've send emails to a couple of the companies you guys have given me links too. Any idea of how long it takes to get from Halifax to Lunenburg?

maryann ns Posted October 31, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2013 On the main highway with not stops or traffic 1:17 but you will need to allow about an hour and a half. https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Canadian+Museum+of+Immigration+at+Pier+21,+Marginal+Road,+Halifax,+Nova+Scotia&daddr=Lunenburg,+NS&hl=en&sll=44.004261,-62.918551&sspn=8.832376,21.643066&geocode=FYogqQIdkRI2_CEgmzhDlXHjFyndrHIwSiJaSzEgmzhDlXHjFw%3BFa0jpQIdjZIq_ClD0a4gwVtXSzHrTTCtT3o5Vg&oq=lunenburg&mra=ls&t=m&z=10 On the more scenic route: https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Canadian+Museum+of+Immigration+at+Pier+21,+Marginal+Road,+Halifax,+Nova+Scotia&daddr=44.679012,-63.921707+to:44.5094358,-64.050995+to:44.5545688,-64.2200875+to:44.4973369,-64.3197608+to:Lunenburg,+NS&hl=en&sll=44.533717,-63.781128&sspn=1.094429,2.705383&geocode=FYogqQIdkRI2_CEgmzhDlXHjFyndrHIwSiJaSzEgmzhDlXHjFw%3BFWS_qQId1aEw_CnDlqnxuvJZSzHrwYBIZCNc_g%3BFfsopwIdzagu_CmJONXkDvtZSzESqkT-bRjO6w%3BFUjZpwIdSRQs_CnZ_8Si7eZZSzFZ4CjrPr-7zw%3BFbj5pgId8I4q_CkjfQH9ReBZSzH3LSfCZMzhyw%3BFa0jpQIdjZIq_ClD0a4gwVtXSzHrTTCtT3o5Vg&oq=lunenburg&mra=ls&via=1,2,3,4&t=m&z=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPinBoynton Posted November 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Beach4me, We have just returned from a NE / Canada cruise on Celebrity Summit. I especially wanted to go to Lunenburg because I have a childhood friend who has a B&B there. We're also fans of Haven, which is filmed there. You might want to check out our review with pictures at www.thepreismans.com. Most all of our tours were private, and we provided the links to the tours in the review. Enjoy!

Thank you for pointing me to your website. What a great review with lots of great info. I can't wait to take a look at your other trips, too! Along with Lunenburg, I loved the info on Quebec. I'm doing a rt from Quebec next year. Before logging onto cruisecritic tonight, I made reservations at a little boutique hotel not far from the ship dock. As I looked at all the pics you guys posted of Lower Town, I kept thinking "that's got to be near the hotel" - and I just about squealed! LOL Thank you again. You rock!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
