ULTIMATE GUIDE

"This is the ultimate day trip guide and Jon Tattrie -- a Nova Scotia born-and-bred journalist, author and off-the-tourist-trail explorer -- is your ultimate guide.

-- Stephen Kimber, Professor of Journalism, University of King's College and author of What Lies Across the Water: The Real Story of the Cuban Five

PERFECT

A big reason why Halifax is one of the continent's great small cities: it's striking distance from a long list of fascinating day trips. Tattrie -- with his clear eye and distinctive way with words -- is the pefect guide.

-- John DeMont, author of A Good Day's Work: In Pursuit of a Disappearing Canada and columnist The (Halifax) Chronicle Herald
