I loved the adventure

As this was my first adventure with GWT, I don't have anything to compare it too. However I can't imagine the day being any better...it was as close to perfect as we could get.

Coastal Crawl

We enjoyed the experience. We chose to do the alternative stop instead of Peggy's Cove (as we had been there a few times) and found that it didn't really compare. We had difficulty finding parking at the stops in Lunenburg. We would have liked to do the hike mentioned at the end but spent too much time exploring the earlier stops and didn't have time. We will be doing more trips in the future.

I gave this to my parents as a gift. They enjoyed it very much and took so many pictures. They have been telling everyone about the fun they had on the trip.

A chance to get out of Halifax for the day

This was a fun day out with the family - this is now my go-to gift for friends visiting from out of province, or people new to the area.
