Hop On Hop Off Trolley in Halifax

[Afever]

Does anyone have any info about the Hop on Hop off trolley in Halifax?

How much is it and does it go to Peggy's Cove. It would be great if someone know of its website address so I can get more info.

 

Thanks

for Peggys Cove you can take a ship's tour, a private tour, hire a taxi, or what I would do - rent a car. Go to google maps and get directions for Halifax to Peggys Cove. It is a drive of nearly an hour.

The tour through Princess cruise line for Peggy's Cove and hop on off bus is booked!

Are their private tours readily available at port? Plus is there a difference in the HOHO and the trolley tour!

There may be private tours available at the port, but that is not the way to go. Book a private tour in advance or rent a car and DIY.

 

The thread you were linked to above is very old. There is no FRED. Here is the only HOHO bus I know of and it is expensive for what you get. You can walk or taxi to most of the downtown.

 

Here is some more current information:

and did see some HOHO buses at pier,but many of them seemed to be booked by ships for THEIR tours.We booked city tour with ship because I was unable to confirm a HOHO privately BEFORE on website.PS.we DID use a pink HOHO bus and only slightly higher price using ships tour.

Ended up NOT seeing Peggys Cove and glad to spend more time in city on own,you see a LOT of lighthouses on tour.;)
