Designed for those who prefer little to no walking, this two-hour tour offers a comprehensive look at some of the city's most treasured sites by deluxe transportation and includes photo stops along the way. You'll pass the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, which features Titanic memorabilia, and the Historic Properties, a charmingly renovated 19th-century district. Gaze upon Halifax Public Gardens for views of the oldest original Victorian garden in the country. Next, stop to capture the views of the city's skyline and excellent photos from atop renowned Citadel Hill. From this vantage point you can also see the harbor and the 200-year-old Town Clock. Visit the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, the final resting place for 121 victims of the sinking of the Titanic. Continue through the exclusive neighborhoods of Halifax's South End, and on your return trip to the pier, you'll continue on past the universities, public buildings and parks before you board the ship.

Special Notes:

Those wishing to view the graves at Fairview Lawn Cemetery must walk approximately 75 yards each way.
