Practical Information
Location & Contact:
ToursByLocals is an online marketplace connecting you with independent local guides; there is no physical office or ticket booth in Halifax. The company's headquarters are in Vancouver, Canada, but all bookings and inquiries are managed through its centralized, 24/7 customer support system via the website and email.
Hours of Operation:
Booking is possible 24/7 through the ToursByLocals website, and customer support is also available around the clock. Actual tour availability depends on the individual guide's schedule, which is shown on their online booking calendar when you select a tour.
Cost & Booking:
Pricing varies with group size (typically up to 7-8 people), tour duration (half-day, full-day, or multi-day), and customizations. For example, a Peggy's Cove tour costs approximately $642 to $713 USD for up to 7 people, while a Halifax Waterfront walking tour with food is around $367 USD for up to 8 people. With 48 different Halifax tours available, you select your guide and tour online, and the guide confirms the booking within 24 hours.
Key Policies & Accessibility:
The standard cancellation policy allows a full refund if you cancel at least 15 days before your tour, with an optional "Cancel for Any Reason" insurance available. These private tours are highly customizable: filter for accessibility needs and discuss specific requirements, such as pacing, directly with your chosen guide before booking.
ToursByLocals suits travellers who want a day shaped around their own interests rather than a fixed group itinerary. Guides are vetted by the platform, and with 48 Halifax tours on offer, most visitors find a match for their pace, budget, and curiosity.
