You'll spend two nights near the seaport of Lunenburg to enjoy the timeless charm of this well preserved historic town, declared a UNESCO world heritage site, and two nights at a lodge on the beach. For the cycling sections of this tour, options for children not yet riding independently include the rental of Burley trailers, tag-along bikes, and tandems. The roads we follow are far quieter than most, and the support van is always nearby in case anyone loses their inclination to pedal. Designed by owners Cathy and Philip, who have children of their own, this tour comes from a combined background of adventure touring, parenting, and an intimate knowledge of the area. If children are part of your traveling plans, this is a logical winner! Tour Itinerary: Day 1: 14-32km (8-20mi.) flexible. Van pickup in Halifax at approximately 09:00.
