Visit the north end of Sydney's most historical sights all within just steps of your ship. From the dock, your costumed guide will lead you on a leisurely stroll on to the Esplanade, a street that parallels the waterfront and is studded with monuments and plaques that commemorate some of the city's famous people and events.

Your first stop is St. Patrick's Church. Erected in 1828, the Gothic Revival style stone building is the oldest standing Roman Catholic Church in eastern Nova Scotia. You'll visit Jost Heritage House, one of the oldest remaining wooden buildings in Sydney, which houses three centuries of artifacts. From here you will see the oldest part of town and will be entertained by your guide with stories of great love, mayhem and murder from the past.

See the old market and firehouse, en route to Cossit House, where you will hear about the Cossit family and how they lived.

Continuing along, you will pause outside St George's Church, the oldest building in Sydney today. Here, you will learn of the church's history and connection with the Cossit family. Following the stop at St. George's, you may choose to walk back to the pier or linger in town to do some further exploring on your own or some shopping.
