A Scenic Tour Full of Heart and Humour

5.00In July of 2025 We booked a tour with “A Ride to the Darkside” because we were looking for a tour that was smaller and more personal than the usual tourist options. We were not disappointed. Right from the start Jimmy made it feel like we were stepping into a story rather than being marched through a checklist of things to see. The ferry crossing was surprisingly an emotional moment, the breeze, the harbour and skyline were magnificent. What I liked the most was how Jimmy connected the big harbour “facts” to human stuff. The why people live where they live and how the city got its personality. These are the kind of details that Jimmy was able to pass on to us and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. Jimmy’s story about the twelve green bananas is a story we have shard with all of our friends since returning home. If you want a tour of Halifax full of heart and humour, this is it.
