Fairview Lawn Cemetery
As you leave Peggy's Cove and head back to Halifax (1:00 hr. approximate time), your next stop will be the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, where the remains of 121 Titanic victims are interred. The tragic loss of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912, was felt all over the world, including in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Due to Nova Scotia's close proximity to the Titanic's last known position, recovery ships from Halifax were dispatched to conduct the grizzly task of recovering those who perished. Halifax is home to the largest concentration of Titanic graves in the world. As you walk through the cemetery, you'll learn about the lives of those who were lost, the details surrounding the memorial, and the heartbreaking story of the unknown child of the Titanic.

Anchor Tours, the Best of the Best
My wife and I have been traveling extensively for the last 7 or 8 years and have experienced many tours. This tour from Anchor Tours would rank up there in the top 2 or 3. First our driver/tour guide Ron Leeds, was unbelievable. He spends time at home during his off hours studying the area to make sure he has all the facts. He provides an immense amount of knowledge to us. He was able to discuss almost any topic we brought up that had to do with history around Halifax. The tour group was small. The bus could only have up to maybe 12 people at the most so it was a nice intimate setting. Both my wife and I strongly recommend that if you want a tour of Halifax you use this company. They are absolutely the best you'll find

Great guide, beautiful countryside!
Really enjoy small group tours. Only 8 of us. Ron was an excellent guide. He was very personable and had lots of local history to pass along as we drove through the city and countryside. Wonderful fall foliage!

Loved Peggy's Cove (just...
Loved Peggy's Cove (just a bit too windy and cold for us Californian's), but over all a lovely place. The scenery on the drive there was beautiful with the change of seasons (fall color change). We were able to get a little history of the sinking of the Titanic by visiting the cemetery where some of the passengers were buried. Our guide was very informative and gave us insight to the background of some of those buried there.

Trip was exactly as...
Trip was exactly as advertised. Pickup and return were easy Jeff, our driver, was excellent. Gave us plenty of information about Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, and the Titanic but didn’t talk incessantly. Not sure we needed quite as much time at the cemetery as we spent but it was an interesting and enjoyable experience
via Viator
Excellent tour
It was a wonderful tour guide was excellent and I really enjoyed it. Guide was very informative and very caring and friendly. We experienced a different tour day before with Viator and it was terrible. This was really what we expected and were very pleased with her knowledge and service.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Halifax.
How much does Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Halifax usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Halifax is not rushed.
Is Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 361 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Halifax, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery?
+
Around 126 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Halifax can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Halifax and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Halifax within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Halifax?
+
On Outty we rank every Halifax experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Tour - Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley, Wine and Lunch Escape, Half-Day Historical Tour of Halifax. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Halifax?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Halifax?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
