1/5
Peggy's Cove was great, unfortunately the tour/organisation was terrible. Firstly, I had explained when booking that I wouldn't necessarily have access to wifi. I was cruising to Halifax, and didn't have international roaming. I did manage to connect to the port wifi (where I was being collected) on arrival, but when I left the building it disconnected. As requested I arrived early, expecting to see someone with an obvious Sight See sign. After about 10 minutes I found someone wearing a jacket with a tiny Sight See logo on the front. I tried to speak to him a number of times but he kept walking off. Eventually I got his attention and gave him my details, and he made a call to find out where my van/driver was. It turned out I'd been standing by the van for nearly 30 minutes! Not once had the driver got out, or shouted out my name. (It did transpire he had tried to call via Whatsapp, but of course the wifi had disconnected so no calls were coming through). Unfortunately, it got worse, because the other 5 passengers already in the van, then refused to make room to let me in. They claimed it would be too squashed with 6 people in (at least for the 3 that would be sat on the back row). In the end, after a fair bit of arguing by those 5 passengers, the driver told me another car would be sent for me, and he drove off without me. After going back into the terminal and exchanging a few emails, and waiting around half an hour (completely panicked by now) a car did finally turn up. It was a taxi and I was a lone passenger. There was no commentary at all. He did agree to take me back via the Titanic Cemetery (I'd not been able to book a tour that included this, they were sold out everywhere), but I did have to pay an extra $20. As it happened, I bumped into one of the passengers who refused to let me in the van at Peggy's Cove, who said she was glad to see I'd made it (insert eye roll). She also said they'd not had any commentary either, their guide was not a guide, just a driver, so I was glad at least that I'd not missed out on that.
