Great time! We had a blast! - Wow this was one of the best things we did in Halifax. Amanda was the best. She is so high energy and fun. Each stop is pretty cool and you get some history along the way.
You must do this in Halifax!

Must do Tour! Amanda is the Best! - Definitely a must do Tour in Halifax!
The bike is so much fun to see the sights of the city. Our guide Amanda was so much fun. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and has fun doing it. She made the tour. Be warned the bike is loud and your legs will get a workout if you decide to pedal.

Pedal Bus Fun! - Amanda was great. A little disappointed in only 3 stops and our last stop didn’t happen due to a private function. It is a fun way to see downtown Halifax, but depending on how busy the stop is, hard to get your bevy & be ready to get back in the pedal bus. It would be nice if the discounts were more than beer or wine, for those that don’t drink either.

Sucked - Firstly we had to change our booking from Friday to Saturday evening because of low numbers and it ended up being my sister and I with one other younger family group. The host was a younger guy and was less than engaging. One of three stops was a very loud country dive bar that smelled horribly of old cigarette smoke and was so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you. The music was well before our time and we're in our 50's. The actual bike riding was ok but it was only a couple minutes between stops. The "special pricing" was limited to very few choices. The third and final stop was the Garrison brewery. We actually left the group at this stop and walked to find something to eat and drink.So if you don't drink beer I suggest you don't go on this tour. A waste of time and money. However, I went on this tour last year and it was a hoot. So I guess it really depends on the host you get. Good luck.

Guides great bus not so much - The Pedal bus was loud and clunky and the stops were nothing special or unusual. Do not waste your money. That being said, Amanda Spriggs was an outstanding tour guide! Skip the bus and find her in town doing stand up.

Not worth it - Went on a very loud bicycle bus and mainly stopped at a restaurant for a piece of pizza and a dive bar to buy a drink. Not worth the money. The driver was lovely but that was it.
