“New pick up point was made available to us while we were on ship and we did not have wifi. We ran to new pick up and looked all over... nothing. Then we got a call and we're directed to a nice "unmarked" mini van... a taxi. The driver was courteous but only spoke after being asked to tell us about the area, and then quite softly we were in the middle and had a hard time hearing him. The people in back heard practically nothing. The driver let us out and told us to be back in an hour. The Cove was quite nice. The ride back was pretty…”

“The whole trip was great, and as advertised. Omar our driver rang to confirm he was 10 mins away. The car was comfortable and we had plenty of time at Peggy’s Cove.

“Our guide first took us to Peggy’s Cove. It was a little less than an hour to get there and he spoke for a while, but was so difficult to hear for those of us who sat in the second or third row of his van. It would’ve been nice if he had some sort of speaker system and also could provided more information about what we were looking at as we drove along. He was informative at the cemetery and pointed out a couple of things about the Titanic grave sites. When we were dropped off at the Citadel, there was a very long line for tickets. We waited…”
