Reviews:

“Our tour organizer and guide was historian and teacher Robert Ripley of Halifax. He is a Provincial treasure… the commentary and narration was of a calibre beyond anything my wife and I had experienced on tours to Europe and the United States.”

– P.H. Edwards, Halifax Chronicle Herald, Dec 2019

“I have lived here all my life and never knew there was so much history packed into such a small area.”
