Lunenburg Walking Tours — Guided Heritage Walks
Lunenburg Walking Tours has run daily guided walks of the UNESCO Old Town from its base at 97 Kaulbach Street for more than thirty years. Guides lead small groups through the British colonial grid of streets laid out in 1753, stopping at the painted heritage houses and the working waterfront. The company also operates harbour cruises and tasting tours that share the same booking office.
Reviewers consistently call out the guides' deep knowledge of local history and their ability to bring Lunenburg's 18th-century stories to life. The ghost tour and culinary tasting tour are popular add-ons for repeat visitors.
