Halifax – Capital City of Nova Scotia
Caravan Tours offers affordable all inclusive vacations in Canada including a tour of the Canadian Maritime Provinces with a trip to Halifax Nova Scotia, the Province’s capital city.
Originally occupied by the Mi'kmaq People, the French European settlers were the first to establish a colony in Halifax in the early 1600s. Halifax was incorporated as a town in 1749, and then designated a city in 1842.
In 1996 the area was re-established as the Halifax Regional Municipality to include the town of Dartmouth, which is just across the Halifax Harbour. A single tier regional government now oversees the complete area.
The city of Halifax Nova Scotia is steeped in history from the lengthy harbour boardwalk, to Citadel historic park overlooking the port. The locals — known as Haligonians — take pride in their seaworthy heritage.
On December 6, 1917 the infamous Halifax explosion was one of the world’s all-time worst maritime disasters. A French cargo ship carrying high explosives collided with a ship from Norway. The ensuing explosion left nearly 2,000 dead, another 9,000 injured and destroyed buildings up to half a mile away, decimating the Richmond Community.
Today, working tugs and fishing boats tie up next to cruise ships and flamboyant yachts in a poignant representation of east coast hospitality, where the contemporary and the traditional peacefully coexist.
Halifax: Cultural Centre of Nova Scotia
Theatre, art, music, and food have been fundamental to the region since the first settlers set foot on these Nova Scotian shores. There’s a flavourful mix of culinary cuisine, classic east coast entertainment, and thirst-defying beverages at almost at every turn.
The Victorian-era Historic Properties near the Halifax waterfront — restored buildings from the 1700s — house delightful popular restaurants, and a varied collection of craft breweries.
Don’t forget to order lobster! It’s everywhere. Classic lobster dinner, lobster chowder, steamed lobster, lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese, lobster…mania.
After the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, the victims of the Titanic disaster were taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia because Halifax was the closest city to the disaster.
For the historically curious, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic hosts a collection of Titanic artifacts, and the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 exhibit photos and personal artifacts relating to the immigrants who shaped Canada into the cultural blend it is today.
Next to the Immigration Museum is North America’s longest running Farmer’s Market, which has been in operation since 1750! A few blocks away are the Halifax Public Gardens that have been in operation since 1867 and were designated a National Historic site in 1967.

Back to Top Customer Reviews of our Nova Scotia & Prince Edward tour
“The Nova Scotia experience was fantastic. The scenery was something that needs to be experienced first hand and just enjoyed. Having the tour guides to help us along and assist us in understanding and interpreting what we were seeing was probably the most important aspect of taking a guided tour over driving ourselves. On our own, we would not have had half of the experiences we did on this tour - we would never have known what to look for. This was our first guided tour. We were relatively unsure of a group outing after always being on our own. As a result of the experience, we are planning our next tour - with Caravan.”Mr. & Mrs. A.D., Cherry Hill, New Jersey
“I have traveled extensively with several different tour companies and am very pleased with my experience with Caravan. They deliver what they promise and provide a pleasant and hassle-free vacation.”Ms. A.R., Ventura, California
“A++. We can’t say enough about every aspect of this spectacular 1,300 mile journey. Our tour director and driver were so caring and knowledgeable and they made this journey one that will be remembered and cherished always. We had adequate time to take photos and videos, and the accommodations were 5 star. Every aspect of this trip far exceeded our expectations. We will definitely take another Caravan Tour!”Mr. & Mrs. R.H., Nashua, New Hampshire
“This was one of the best tours we’ve been on. Saw many things the average traveler wouldn’t. The director and driver worked well together as a team. Our director was an unbelievably kind and informative person. She went above and beyond for all of us.”Mr. & Mrs. K.S., Bassano, Alberta
“Our director enthusiastically greeted and welcomed all us travelers from all parts of the USA. I noted her spontaneous laugh and good humor as we set out on our days ahead in the Maritime Provinces. She told us all about the Bay of Fundy and Bore tide. We walked on the ocean floor among very interesting rock formations. What a miracle of nature. We crossed Prince Edward Island on the Confederation Bridge, and learning how hard and difficult it was to construct made all the difference in appreciating it. All the incredible places and people we met along the way on Cape Breton, balmy weather and seeing a an eagle swoop down in the bay for chicken was such a forever memory. At Cheticamp the latch hook rugs were works of art and such fun to recall Stella Camus creating them from ages 16 to 91! The Cabot Trail is so incredibly beautiful. Halifax’s Maritime museum will be forever remembered. Again, our director did everything possible to make our tour the best, always gave us suggestions and time lines to various outings. She took worry and concerns away as we felt safe and taken care of in her charge. I look forward to traveling again with Caravan and feel sure you have the best travel plans ahead for us.”Ms. C.S., West Linn, Oregon
“We had wanted to take this trip for awhile. It was everything we had hoped for and more. We saw things we had never seen. The ride on the bus provided beautiful, breathtaking scenery. Fantastic tour director, wonderful driver, great group of people, food was great and scenery unbelievable. Caravan does a great tour! It was our first but will not be our last.”Mrs. C.H., Flushing, Michigan
“Caravan did a marvelous job providing an introduction to the Canadian Maritimes. I very much liked the sightseeing and activities. I especially enjoyed the sailing trip near Alexander Graham Bell’s house, the bald eagles with their brilliant antics. I also liked the visit to Louisbourg: what a wonderful restoration. There was much to learn about the environment, spirituality, and human intersectionality. How all these elements coalesced is an astonishment to me. What a superb tour! Ours was truly a brilliant director, the Maritimes meant the world to him and by extension, to us. He is a true national treasure.”Mr. K.M., Ithaca, New York
“Our director was an absolute joy. She was very well informed about the history and culture of the areas we visited, super organized and obviously loved what she was doing. Well chosen examples, I learned lots about Acadian history and enjoyed the Cape Breton Tour, spectacular scenery. We loved sailing, so much fun!”Ms. M.D., Columbia, Missouri
“I traveled single along with my parents, sister and her husband. All five of us enjoyed our tour. Beautiful countryside, clean comfortable nice hotels. My favorite was the sailing. Thank you kindly!”Ms. D.J., Huron, Ohio
“I was very impressed with Caravan and hope to travel with you again. I will recommend you to my friends. Thanks for a wonderful week in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.”Ms. A.H., Shelby, Ohio
“If you love a quiet peaceful place with lots of beautiful lakes, then Nova Scotia is for you. The air is unbelievably fresh, crisp in the mornings and evenings, and then warm during the day. The seafood is bountiful and they love tourists. Many interesting historical places to learn more about the people and culture of Nova Scotia.”Mr. & Mrs. W.G., Edison, New Jersey
“You won't go wrong with Caravan. We will definitely use them again. We saw everything that was a 'must see' in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. We would have taken two or three weeks to see the same on our own. Caravan provides the best value and quality for your money for this tour. It's funny, I saw other tour motor coaches from other agencies at all the stops we went. I noticed their prices they advertised were twice Caravan's prices! The Marriott Harbourfront Hotel had a great room, super great dining, and helpful staff. There were great views of the waterfront, especially at breakfast where the buffet was outstanding! The sightseeing and activities were well organized.”Mr. & Mrs. E.D., Trappe, Maryland
“There were several people on our tour who had traveled with Caravan and sought Caravan for their Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island vacation. I fully understand why and will certainly travel with Caravan again.”Mr. & Mrs. K.D., Albuquerque, New Mexico
“We have just returned from our third Caravan tour and enjoyed it very much. The scenery was so beautiful and different in each province as we covered Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, into New Brunswick, returning to Nova Scotia and Halifax. The number of meals provided was most ample. It was good to have some meals on our own. The hotels were just excellent choices. Our guide and driver both proved to be courteous, informative and helpful men whose attitude provided a positive feeling the entire tour. All three tours that we have had with Caravan were filled with wonderful memories and experiences. Best wishes for continued standards of excellence with present and future tours.”Mr. & Mrs. J.K., Lafayette, Louisiana
“We checked out other tours to the Maritimes and found Caravan not only less in money, but much more in content, and thoroughly enjoyable. Your hotels were excellent and the meals delicious, not one with a problem. Your sightseeing and activities were very well orchestrated, interesting and informative. Your rest and photo stops were a good choice for photo stops and exceptionally thoughtful for bathroom stops. Your tour director was informed regarding areas, caring, concerned, available, and a pleasant person. Thanks!”Mrs. & Mrs. F.C., Valrico, Florida
“Our tour director and driver made a great team. We chose this tour for our honeymoon because we wanted something scenic, relaxing and stress free. Your people helped make it everything we expected and more. We will definitely be going on tours with Caravan in the future.”Mr. & Mrs. M.B., Rhinedorf, New York
“This tour packed a lot into a short time but in a way that gave one a lot to see and a lot to learn which to me is ideal. It made me want to return to spend more time in several of the locations I saw. I enjoyed the locations for sightseeing very much. I appreciated seeing more of the Maritimes than I would have on my own. I was pleasantly surprised by the Fortress of Louisbourg since I did not know that history. Both our director and driver did their utmost to make this trip enjoyable for everyone.”Mrs. R.M., Ithaca, New York
“This was our third Caravan tour and we will definitely do more. Always interesting. Ideal selections to provide optimum information about Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and excellent scenic views. Each hotel was first rate, quiet, comfortable and decorated and furnished in an attractive way that set a pleasant and restful mood.”Mr. & Mrs. J.K., Omaha, Nebraska
“Everything about this tour was wonderful. The people on the tour were fun to get to know. We saw so much and did so much. No way a person learns all this information if you went on your own. Ours was a superb director, his living in the area makes for an outstanding experience. We have wonderful memories of this tour, thank you.”Mr. & Mrs. F.B., Kewaskum, Wisconsin
“This was my first guided tour and my first Caravan tour. I went alone and made many new friends. Our group seemed like family by the time we were finished. The sites were outstanding. My favorite was probably the the sailboat trip in Baddeck. There was a great variety; each a new adventure! Also loved Anne of Green Gables, and sightseeing in Halifax. Loved the fort, and Acadian music! The Marriott Halifax was excellent. I loved everything about the tour and will definitely plan another Caravan tour.”Ms. M.D., Two Rivers, Wisconsin
“This was my sixth Caravan trip and it was again an excellent experience. The itinerary was well-planned, the food and hotels were great and you attract a very friendly clientele. Your directors and drivers are the best. I enjoyed everything, it was a great trip. Thank you, next trip to Guatemala in January.”Ms. J.C., Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
“I’m almost eighty with a bad knee, and I had not planned to do anymore big trips. My friends encouraged me to come along and I’m so happy I did. This was my first Caravan tour. Way too much beautiful scenery to remember and process. Very nice stops at various museums that were not always expected. We got to mingle and get to know each other, and our director was wonderful. I would recommend Caravan to anyone wanting to see the places you offer.”Ms. J.S., Greendale, Wisconsin
“Again, I was so impressed on a Caravan Tour. Love traveling with your company. This was my fifth trip and I have one planned later this fall. We had such an informative guide and I learned so much about the Acadian, Cabot Trail, French, Irish, Scottish in that region. All the guides were so proud of this region. Bay of Fundy, National Park in Cabot Trail, our director went out of his way to help all of us, kudos to him.”Ms. N.H., Port Clinton, Ohio
“It was good to be in Canada again and experience its charm and friendly people. Glad I took this trip. Loved the sailboat excursion and also enjoyed Halifax, the Harbour and the Maritime Museum. Visiting the Titanic cemetery was very moving. Our director took such good care of us, terrific.”Mr. & Mrs. J.L., Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
“This was only our second trip Caravan and it certainly will not be our last. As with our wonderful director in Guatemala, our Nova Scotia director, besides being calm, well-organized and patient, she was also flexible, witty and knowledgeable. She literally thought of everything the entire time we were together. Excellent, varied and unique sites with adequate time, considering all the places we visited!!”Mr. & Mrs. J.P., Williston, Florida These are only the first 25 reviews of this tour...

Over 70s travellers from LV=
Travel insurance offers peace of mind if you’re holidaying in the UK or abroad – but it’s sometimes difficult to find suitable cover when you're over 70 years old.
At LV=, we offer over 70s travellers the choice of Essential and Premier cover, and we consider all pre-existing medical conditions.
Get your over 70s travel insurance quote today and find the cover that’s right for you.
Why choose LV= over 70s travel insurance?
- Emergency medical cover of up to £10 million (excluding UK cover)
- Up to £10,000 cancellation cover if you’re too ill to travel
- All pre-existing medical conditions considered
- Cruise cover when you choose an annual LV= travel insurance policy (annual policies available up to age 80)
- Choose between Essential and Defaqto 5 Star rated Premier cover
Enhance your travel insurance with our optional extras, including baggage, personal belongings and money cover.
Are there any age restrictions on LV= policies?
The single trip policy has no upper age limit. Our annual policy is only available to travellers who are aged 79 and under. You can choose from two different levels of cover - Essential or Premier.
The maximum trip length under an annual multi-trip Premier policy is 90 days, or 31 days under an Essential annual multi-trip policy. On a single trip for over 65s, the maximum trip length is 90 days or 31 days if you’re over 79.

Even with a pre-existing medical condition, you may still be able to get travel insurance with us. However, you must tell us about all pre-existing medical conditions before you take out the policy.

Excellent customer service....how nice to have food delivered and not worry about shopping after we arrived in Disney. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the resort!! Five stars!!
Ordered in advanced and received a discount. All items were delivered and awaiting our check in. Informed many guests at Disney World, co-workers, family and friends about your service for their future trips. Great convenience. Thank you!
It is a very convenient way to purchase groceries at Disney World since we flew in and did not have transport. One warning is not to overbuy like I did!

Six Camouflaged Stays to Go Off-Grid in Style
There is a common perception that traveling off-grid means giving up luxuries. However in 2023 there is a strong desire to combine the two with half (48%) of travelers only considering traveling ‘off-grid’ if it can be at a more indulgent stay. With a mission to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, we are sharing six unique camouflaged stays that offer the back to basics feel that 44% of global travelers are wanting in 2023, without sacrificing any luxuries.
Heritance Kandalama, Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
Perched on a hill, overlooking the rock fortress of Sigiriya, Heritance Kandalama is a tranquil Travel Sustainable accommodation designed in the early 90s by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa who had the vision of an “austere jungle palace”.

This unique design hotel provides three impressive pools and exotic activities like bird watching and jungle trekking, making it a perfect sanctuary for travelers who are looking to escape from reality in the new year by embarking on an ‘off-grid’ vacation. Heritance Kandalama is a short drive from the 2,000-year-old Dambulla cave temple and the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, a high red stone fortress. Travelers can enjoy a lot of activities around Sigiriya, including a Dambulla Caves and Sigiriya Tour to explore the ancient palace ruins or a guided safari to admire the wildlife and scenery of nearby Kaudulla National Park.

Each of the wooden cabins is camouflaged with green roofs, blended perfectly with the surrounding forest.

We stayed in Erika's apartment for six days at the begging of November and we are very thankful to her for this opportunity. The apartment was very nice, very cosy, very clean with all needed equipment and perfectly located. It was very easy to get to all the main sight-seeings. You really feel that you live in the heart of Budapest. We couldn't wish for a better location. We also asked Erika to organize transfer for us from the airport and back and it was absolutely perfect. Klara, who met us in the apartment, was very nice and friendly, and it was a pleasure to communicate with her. We spent wonderful time in Budapest and really fall in love with the city.
We would like to thank Erika and Klara once again and would surely recommend this apartment to our friends.
Marina, Julia, Anna and Alexandra
Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. The apartment was very clean and Erika made sure we had more than enough towels, linen and tea/coffee for 4 people. The location was very good, in the city centre and close to all tourist sights, however it could be a little bit noisy at night during the weekend. But I would still highly recommend it. We had a great time.
We have had a wonderful visiting in Budapest. Our department by Erika was nice and clean. Klara was very helpfull.And also our taxi-lady Maria was very helpfull and kind. As a nordick passenger we hoped for possibility to make coffe.. not only espresso (our day begins whith a large cup of coffe :) ).A street was a litle bit noise.
We can absolutely recommend Erika`s department to our friends.
Marvellous city and fantastic accomodation, just in the best place to visit comforetably the most interesting places inBudapest.
I highly recommend Erika's apartment! It is small but really practical, it is situated in a extraordinary place for taking the metro or for walking around the city centre. When we arrived it was very clean an tidy. Erika has been quite attentive since the first moment I booked, answering every question I made her. And Klara was really kind, giving us so much tourist info! If I ever came back to Budapest, I'll go to Erika's apartment again!
The appartment is perfectly situated between the Stefanus Dome and the Great Jewish synagoge. A lot of bars and restaurants are nearby. In the evening the nnoise on the street can be loud because of the evening life in bars, but this is part of hiring an appartment in a big city. Budapest is a beautiful city, and easy to explore by walking. The appartment has a perfect value for money. A small but well furnished kitchen. All was clean and the communication with Erika and Klara was perfect. I would recommend this appartment to everybody. Best regards Jos Geenen
Very nice modern appartment in a great neighboorhood in the centre. Good facilities. Everything you need just around the corner. I would definitely book it again next time. Also the landlady is very helpful and reacts quickly to emails. 5 out of 5!
We had a great time in Budapest. The apartment has a perfect location just next to the subway stations. It is very centrally located - in the middle of great bars and delicious restaurants. The appartment is very clean and nicely furnished. And the welcome is very warm. We highly recommend this place to stay.
We had a very interesting stay in Budapest - our first visit. The weather was wonderful - topped 30 degrees C. Erica's apartment is well equipped and very well situated right in the heart of Pest and within walking distance both of the 'downtown' and the Jewish Quarter. The night-life is lively, but we didn't mind because we didn't go to bed until 1 am every night!
S & S Manchester, UK
Everything was perfect! The house really cute, perfect location. The metro is very close to the apartment (Deák Ferenc tér, is the only transfer station for the M1, M2, and M3 lines of the Budapest Metro) Very pretty area, full of bars and restaurants where you can eat very well(I recommend Két Szerecsen and Menza Étterem). The host,is very friendly and helpful!

I stayed here recently for a week. I would consider it an average hotel and feel there are many ways it could be better. Firstly we had booked a two bedroom apartment and when we got to reception that day we were simply told no - there wasn't one. This is ridiculous and I feel if you book something it... More

location location location! the balcony guesthouse was within walking distance to amazing nightlife and food spots. the silk road under the b&b is absolutely delicious. the only thing i would rate negatively was the cleanliness of our room - there was quite a lot of dust under the bed, on the windows and on the blades of the ceiling fan (it fell like snow when we turned it on). to end on a post note, the staff was absolutely amazing and very helpful :-) i would definitely recommend staying here!
2.2 on April 06, 2017
Booked my room through the Balcony House/Silk Road website. When I checked in, I was told I had rented a property across town. I asked if the property that I was now having to stay at was on the website. They informed me that it was not so I was confused as to how I rented a place that wasn't even being advertised. The first apartment they put us in was very nice, but the air conditioner wasn't working. A landscaper outside had to call the owner and we were then put next door. We weren't even given an address to this place, we had to follow the innkeeper over there so they could clean it. I had no codes to the doors, no general information at all when the inn keeper started to leave. She have me the information and I finally got a text message about an hour after we were all settled. We weren't on site of the complimentary breakfast, but we could drive to the other property if we wanted that. We also were not in the room by the check in time. We ended up in a much bigger room than we paid for, and the property was beautiful aside from the work being done in the yard. Aside from not seeming to have their crap together in terms of people having any information about anything, and by also putting me in a room I didn't actually rent, it was a nice visit. But I don't think I'll ever book with them again.

The Balcony Guesthouse is, even in New Orleans, an exceptionally precious experience. Immaculate, well-appointed rooms with a comforting feeling of having arrived for a relaxed visit in an 1875 private home; a splendid restaurant with a creative, lively bar; and friendly, helpful service at every turn. From the people you encounter to the lush foliage surrounding the property, there's that easy, happy, indulged feeling of languid, understated old luxury. A great neighborhood, quaint, wonderful coffee shops, beautifully restored old homes. Go here. Suzanne Lea

The Balcony Guesthouse in New Orleans, in The Marigny, is a supremely magical, wonderful place to visit. Exquisite, pristine, elegant. Lively neighborhood, outstanding bar, lush surroundings. The Silk Road restaurant surpasses expectation even in New Orleans. Go there, relax, and enjoy an experience you will not forget.
4.2 on August 23, 2016
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!! The perfect place to stay to see the real New Orleans. The staff is great, the food is beyond fabulous. Will be back

My fiance and I were looking for a place that would house all 16 of our immediate family members for our intimate wedding weekend. We stumbled across the Balcony Guesthouse and we were both immediately intrigued with it's beauty. Once we made reservations, Zak made it incredibly easy to ask questions, while receiving incredible responses from him. He made this whole process so simple....every step of the way. When we arrived for our weekend the staff was generous, courteous, and available for anything we needed. The space was perfect for our family. The beds were incredible. No one ever wanted to get out of them. The restaurant downstairs is convenient and absolutely delicious. My husband and I are planning to revisit soon!
4.8 on February 16, 2016
My boyfriend and I snuck away for a couple days and this was the place! We loved the room with the amazing view. We will come here again.
4.4 on December 28, 2015
Great location with restaurants and bars within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helped to make our stay enjoyable. French market is a short walk away as is the trolley. The balcony was why we picked this B&B and it did not disappoint.
3.8 on November 17, 2015
This is a great place to stay on the edge of the French Quarter ... away from the tourists. You get a real feel for the local community here. My favorite this was the little sitting area near the balcony door. I spent hours there reading one night. Very relaxing. Everyone in the restaurant/bar downstairs are very friendly, the food is delicious.
3.8 on November 16, 2015
Very quiet and just a short walk to Frenchman Street. You can still easily walk to Bourbon Street in a few minutes - but why when there is so much else to do. Don't miss the Thai restaurant on Royal and Elysian Fields - truly great.
3.8 on October 10, 2015
This B&B in a quaint neighborhood. It offers a real feel for the more authentic section of the French Quarter (away from the typical tourist sites). The restaurant and bar on the first floor of the building has excellent food ... I highly recommend the lentil and spinach soup.
4.0 on May 28, 2015
Loved the Balcony Guesthouse, could have been a tad cleaner in the guest bathrooms and maybe some other options for breakfast but other than that we Loved it!
3.8 on May 13, 2015
I love B&B's and this one was nice. The owners were very nice and friendly. I arrived later than anticipated and they were very accommodating. The building is old so floors creak but I didn't mind that, part of the old home charm that I enjoy about B&B's. The stairwell is pretty narrow and the stairs shallow. The door didn't block much noise from the halls. I could here people coming and going but so long as no one was in the halls there wasn't much disruption. The pictures seem much more spacious than the rooms actually are, but also ok. There was a small armoire for clothing. The WiFi was sketchy, in and out. The cable was basic, the tv an older model with a remote that didn't quite work all the time. The place is in the Marigny neighborhood, seems sort of New Orleans flavored hipster. The French Quarter is a good walk but doable if you've got comfortable shoes. There's some eateries in walking distance. I had the crawfish egg rolls and some gumbo from the Silk Road Restaurant. Both dishes were pretty bland. They have a mango white chocolate cheesecake which was surprisingly good. All in all, a good stay great value considering I booked within two weeks of my trip and the weekend fell between the French Quarter and Jazz festivals. I would stay again!
4.6 on May 08, 2015
The Balcony Guest House is great for those looking for quiet place to stay away from the almost 24 hour noise of the French Quarter in New Orleans. The Balcony Guest House is located in the Marginy and has several good dining choices within walking distance as well as a good restaurant on-site. It is also an easy walk to Frenchmen St as well as the French Quarter if you desire music or a more active environment.
3.2 on May 02, 2015
The owner is grumpy, but the place is very nice. It is old and in an old neighborhood, but there is all kinds of character in it. Walking distance to all of the great things in the French Quarter. It is quiet. We felt safe. The price was very good. The night we stayed, there was a drive by shooting about 2 blocks away, but hey, it IS NOLA. People who lived near would sit on their porches and talk to us as we walked by.
4.8 on May 01, 2015
Had my family fly in from all over the country and world to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were immediately treated like a part of the family. Zak, the owner, brought me some beautiful flowers to start off our stay. You could tell Chef Ganesh took great pride and had worked all day preparing the feast for my birthday dinner. Chef Cheryl made the best cake we had ever tasted. I spoke about each person in my family and my kids did a amazing rap about me. By the time we were done almost everyone was in tears - including the owner Zak, his wife, Steve and Alicea (sp). They made the night magical for all of us. Thanks from all of us to the staff. We will probably never be able to get all of us together again but the ones of us that do go back to New Orleans will always stay at the Balcony Guesthouse!
3.8 on April 24, 2015
I'd say the best part of our stay was the lovely wrap-around balcony that we could access from the common area.. Also our room and bathroom were clean with no complaints, although room was small which I've learned is typical in these New Orleans B&B's. Complimentary Breakfast consisted of standard limited buffet of dry scrambled eggs (for some reason we got the scrapings of the pan, eggs were not replenished), bacon, biscuits & gravy, fruit. (no complimentary pastries or pancakes).If you want an an outstanding breakfast nearby try "Cake" just a couple blocks away or "Horn". We didn't eat dinner at the Silk Road restaurant at the Balcony Guesthouse but some folks eating at the outdoor seating area said the dinner was Excellent. The walk to Frenchman's Street/French Quarter and the waterway was a little inconvenient but certainly doable. I would definitely stay at Balcony again because of the price, cleanliness and of course the lovely balcony. Would also like to try Silk Road restaurant (other than their "breakfast).
4.4 on April 15, 2015
We really enjoyed our stay at the Balcony Guesthouse it was a great deal for the location! The room was small but definitely more than sufficient. We loved breakfast every morning, and had a great time drinking wine on the balcony. The only issue was the sheets had little brown spots on them. Housekeeping changed them, but apparently where they are stored gives them little brown spots. As long as that doesn't weird you out, this is the place to stay!
4.8 on March 25, 2015
I booked the BGH, site-unseen, via the Internet, and it was not the least among my magically perfect wedding details. Our entire wedding party booked the six rooms (2 suites), completed with a balcony patio, above the silk road cafe. Zak was perhaps one of the most wonderfully accommodating and helpful hosts I've known. He was so very gracious when I broke the rules unwittingly and provided nothing but sympathetic assistance when anything went wrong. The rooms were delightful, though smallish, and very clean with pretty furniture. Each room had access to the shared balcony, with the exception of the suites. The common area was small, but pleasant, and also provided balcony access for visitors. The BGH was perfectly hospitable to all of the comings and goings of our various wedding guest visitors, provided delicious food for my culinarily-undaring family, and responded very graciously to my requests for exception to some rules. All-in-all, these guys tried their very best to provide exceptional service to our group. The location was fabulous, about 5 blocks from Frenchman street and a stroll to the French Quarter. There were also a couple happening night-life spots a half-block away, though the surrounding neighborhood was fairly quiet--perfect for entertaining us without keeping us awake at night! Parking was also a breeze, and I was never further away than across the street, regardless of when I showed up. Breakfast might have been a little more extravagant. It consisted of eggs, biscuits, bacon, and potatoes each morning. No fruit or other luxury items, but the coffee was pretty good and so was the orange juice. The cafe's menu was nice though, and the food, as I understand it, was deLICious. To Zak, Matthew, and all the other marvelous people who made our stay so delightful, THANK YOU! I will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay at the Balcony Bed and Breakfast. If you are looking for a simple, clean, quaint, affordable room to stay in, this is the place for you. While the room we stayed in was small and the bathroom had only a standing shower, everything was clean and tasteful. Since we were out exploring the city much of the time, we didn't need exceedingly spacious accommodations. The balcony which we had access to from our room was absolutely gorgeous and so big that it entirely made up for the quaint coziness of the room. Observing the local life from up above was peaceful and soothing. Just a block or two from the bed and breakfast, one can find 2 coffee shops, several local bars, and even a small grocery store and deli. Walking to the quarter was a breeze and took less than 15 minutes. We drove to New Orleans so the fact that the street parking in front of the bed and breakfast was plentiful and safe was a huge plus. We were able to drive to the few distant destinations we coated without any problem. While we could have eaten in the restaurant downstairs every morning, we only did so once. The comimentary breakfast was hot, huge, and delicious. We bought beer and wine in there several times which was very convenient and appreciated. The owner is incredibly attentive and kind--- when I couldn't figure out how to ge the air conditioning working, someone was over to get it going in minutes. The wifi was strong and worked anywhere in the location. If you aim to watch tv and microwave food all the time, this may not be the place for you (haha!) as the tv is older and grainy and the microwave didn't have a place to plug into the wall---- but if you are anything like my boyfriend and I, who love cleanliness, simplicity, comfort, peaceful sleep, good food, balconies, sunlight, and location---- this is the best place around!! We couldn't have been happier with out stay!

This place was as billed - nothing more, nothing less. Rooms were fine, clean and decent. A little odd to figure out where to go since there's not really a front desk - just go to the restaurant and that was a little confusing but it worked out and was fine. Nice that they supplied an extra heater since NOLA was very cold when I was there. I would recommend this place.

We spent 3 nights in Room 1 at the Balcony Guesthouse. We parked our car and walked or rode the streetcar. Zak met us and provided some pointers on the surrounding area. We enjoyed walking down Royal Street to Frenchman and then to the French quarter. Many colourful houses and colourful people. The restaurant downstairs is closed on Mondays, so we had muffins, croissants, fruit and yogurt left in our room for the Monday morning. On the other mornings we had a delicious hot breakfast prepared by Cheryl who is the morning chef. We also ate in the restaurant one evening - very good, I would recommend the Lemongrass Crab bisque - delicious.

We had a large group that took over 80% of the rooms and we all could not have been happier. From owner Zak to the team in the restaurant / bar taking care of us we could not have asked for more. Fun neighborhood that was perfect walking distance to Frenchman and the French Quarter and the location for the Krewe de Vieux was perfect! We will be back!

From the moment we arrived in NOLA everything was great! Balcony Guest House suited our trip perfectly. 10 women for a fun weekend getaway can be challenging when it comes to accommodations but Zak and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were all 100% happy! The rooms were cozy and quaint, the staff was kind and knowledgable and the restaurant was delicious! PERFECT!

Me and my husband were going on a fall cruise out of New Orleans and found this great B&B. They were very nice and the breakfast was so good!!! I would recommend staying here and I myself will stay again if we cruise out of New Orleans again.

My party of 3 adults spent 2 nights at the Balcony Guest House over the Holidays of 2014. The owner was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very clean and well appointed. The room we rented (The Honeymoon Suite) was not really practical for three adults due to the location of the bathroom being EXTREMELY close to the bed in the bedroom causing the third guest to pretty much climb past the bed to access the bathroom. We ended up renting a second suite which doubled our planned cost for our stay. Due to renovations taking place in the kitchen of the B&B, there was no breakfast, although the owner did supply a boxed breakfast which was OK, but not what was expected. Access to the rooms was via a VERY STEEP stairway that made luggage management a real challenge. We are in our mid 60's and it was difficult for us to navigate these stairs with bags.
4.2 on December 15, 2014
The rooms were small but quaint. We received great service the entire time we were there. The food was delicious, especially the Sunday brunch!!! I would definitely stay here again.
4.2 on December 14, 2014
The owner Zak was terrific--helpful and congenial--and we were able to book last minute after realizing that staying on Bourbon Street might not be the wisest choice for a couple who enjoys their rest. The place is about 5 blocks east of Frenchmen St. and within walking distance to the French Quarter. We even walked to City Park from the B&B (3 miles north)! The other guests were pleasant, though we didn't actually see them much and it was nice not to have to worry about a key and instead the doors are password protected. My only complaint would be that the supplied breakfast is pretty boring three days in a row: croissant and a cup of fruit. There is a wonderful breakfast place around the corner: New Orleans Cake Cafe, so consider the money you're saving by staying here instead of in the French quarter and walk around the corner to this gem and eat your breakfast there instead.

The room was nice & suitable. It was in an excellent area a short distance from the French Quarter. We were under the impression that the breakfast would be served hot & made to order. What we received was 4 boxes in our fridge upon our arrival for our 2 day stay. It included a small cup of friut with literally five small cut pieces, a small quiche, croissant & huge cookie. There was a microwave in the room to warm it up. Honestly, it was gross & I'm not a picky eater. One of the reasons we selected this guesthouse was for the nice breakfast, which would save us one meal dining out. Based on this shortcoming, we would not stay here again.

Great location and entertaining time at the Guest House. We rented all the rooms for a birthday weekend and had plenty of space to congregate. It was a great and centrally located to lots of food and activities yet in a quiet neighborhood

Thank you for making the trip to New Orleans wonderful! We had one hiccup where the rooms weren't ready for hours after they were supposed to be, which was definitely frustrating as we had arrived at 10am, and the rooms weren't ready well after the 3pm check-in time. But other than that, the staff was kind, rooms simple and beautiful, & Bloody Mary's delicious! Thank you for making the overall stay such a delight.

would never had seen this area of New Orleans if we had not booked here......close enough to walk to Frenchman and Decatur plus we walked all the way to Canal St. for our dinner reservation.....great experience......you make this what you want it to be and you will be very happy.

A great place to stay, on a bus route and within walking distance to the French Quarter. Zak was very helpful. Great value.

You're paying for the welcome cocktail and the breakfast. Room didn't have an iron and there were hairs in the shower. Breakfast starts at 10 or a little later since the bar opens at that time but was good. Was woken up by owner late at night making sure that I checked in when all he has to do was check with the lady at the bar. She walked me to my room when I would have been nice for the owner to do that. Felt uneasy about my stay too. Airport shuttle doesn't go there but fortunately there is a city bus a block away. Renee at the bar was friendly.

We recently stayed at the Balcony Guesthouse. This is the first time we have stayed at a B&B and just loved it. When we arrived our room wasn't quite ready so we had lunch and a drink at Silk Road, the restaurant downstairs. The food was fabulous. Our room was very comfortable with a queen bed, ensuite, TV and wardrobe.The air-con worked extremely well, thankfully. On our last morning we were leaving early so Chef G cooked up some breakfast for us to take with us, which was very appreciated. The B&B is located a short and safe walk from Frenchman St. We didn't have a car so walked everywhere and although the B&B is not in the centre of town it is an easy walk or short cab ride to the centre of the French Quarter. We would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend it to our family and friends.
4.4 on October 16, 2014
We really enjoyed our stay at Balcony. The staff was super! They went above and beyond to make our stay great. The free drinks at check in was a nice touch. The free breakfasts were the best!!! The area was very safe for New Orleans. Our friends stayed somewhere else; and it was in a very dangerous area compared to our's. J.H. from Alabama

This place is authentic New Orleans. If you're looking for a cookie-cutter, sterile hotel room or a cutesy b&b, this is not it. The rooms and lounge are decorated with stately antique furnishings. Our room opened out on to the balcony that wraps the building where we could have our coffee. The bed was very comfortable. We hope to be back!

This was my third visit to the Balcony Guesthouse and it was just as wonderful as I remembered it to be. Fantastic service and cozy rooms, within walking distance to Frenchmen and Mimi's and the Mardi Gras Market is right around the corner if you forgot anything. The food downstairs is delicious, try the friench toast! Thank you for making my stay memorable, we will see you next year! Sincerely, Rosemary Smith

We have been trying to stay at Balcony Guesthouse for a while and were so excited it finally worked out. Immediately upon arrival, we felt like we were with family. From the staff to the other guests, everyone knew our names and took care of us. Anytime we needed anything, Zach (owner) was always there to help with a smile on his face- even after hours! I recommend this to anyone who wants a local New Orleans experience and something that has a relaxed atmosphere. We will return!!
4.6 on July 06, 2014
Staff friendly and helpful. Just park and walk. Room is small but in a cozy way. Has everything you need and more. Loved my stay and will be back.

I love Schrios Balcony Guesthouse I stay here every year. Zak, Naz, and the staff are amazing! They always make me feel like family-come-to-visit! The food, service, rooms, atmosphere, and convenience cannot be beat! Security code required to enter room area. Restaurant and mini-grocery are just downstairs. Spanish Tapas restaurant, Mimi's, one block away. French Quarter a few blocks away. So nice and so convenient! I will be back in November!

We really enjoy staying at the BalconyGuesthouse.We have been to New Orleans many times and the BalconyGuesthouse is the only B & B we have stayed at. Its walking distance to the French Quarters about one mile. Parking is available on the side streets. Breakfast, lunch or dinner is great.

Had a really great stay at the Balcony Guesthouse (May 2014) for our 3 nights in New Orleans at the end of a 3 week American road trip. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful we encountered anywhere and they even kindly let us do some laundry before we flew to visit friends in NYC. The room we had was simple but very cute and the balcony is a great place to relax with a beer in the evening before you head out. Location is perfect, a short walk from Frenchman St but far enough away that it's peaceful at night. Felt very safe walking home each night and we were able to park right outside too which was a bonus. The bed we had was VERY squeaky. I think there might have been other coments about the squeaking... You couldn't really roll over in the night without making it squeak a lot so that was a little annoying but it wouldnt put me off staying here again. I'd just maybe not ask for that room (Room 2 I think?) or would suggest they get someone in to tighten up the bed frame (it is a beautiful antique!) so that it doesnt do that. But overall it was fab and I am so so glad we chose to stay here and not in any of the very expensive places we saw on airbnb as they looked much less nice than this and it's very helpful to have locals to ask for advice and having the bar/cafe downstairs meant that there was a nice buzzy atmosphere to the place. Would definately stay again when we return t NOLA.

Went the day after a busy Jazz Fest weekend. Had a little trouble checking in since the room was not ready due to a full house the night before but they were very appologetic and accommodating. Overall, good room and would stay there again.

This B&B was in the perfect location for us. Within the historic district, an easy walk to Jackson Square, and a quick drive to everything. Not too close to the action, resulting in a quiet, safe environment.

Great neighborhood; Rooms were nice and clean; my bed was sooooo comfortable that I slept later each day than I planned to; lobby and balcony were nice to sit and relax in or plan the day; lovely decor; the photos that were displayed were beautiful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
3.8 on March 17, 2014
My husband and I spent 4 nights here. We loved the neighborhood vibe and the walking distance to Frenchman St. Room 2 is small with a small, well lit , modern bath. We really appreciated the shared lounge as we were able to sit and drink wine with fellow guests one evening. Breakfast was a slow, casual, but tasty affair. The bartender loaned us his umbrella for a rainy day and that is the kind of nice touch we really appreciate!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was conveniently located to the French Quarter in a safe neighborhood, but not on a loud or busy street. We kept our car parked all weekend and walked everywhere we needed to go. The food served downstairs was delicious, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Comfortable, well appointed room, delicious hot breakfast Saturday morning and fresh pastries and fruit on Sunday. We were overall very pleased with our experience here and will definitely be making a return visit.

When I travel, I expect a certain level of service. That includes daily housecleaning service. When I stay at a B&B, I expect breakfast at a reasonable time - that means before 9:30 AM. This offered neither. On the plus side, the room was acceptable (I'd give it a B) and the staff made some effort to accomodate (C+). Had the website alerted me to these issues, I'd not have stayed there. If you don't mind them (oh, and note hot breakfast isn't actually available on Sundays, despite what the website said), this is an acceptable, if not awesome place to stay. If you're looking for more, keep looking. Oh, and the drunken frat boys coming in at 4AM didn't help. That said, if that's what you're looking for, this would be a fine place to stay.
3.6 on October 21, 2012
We stayed a week here and chose it because we wanted something that would truly help us enjoy the New Orleans experience. It is situated in a charming, eclectic, diverse neighborhood. The rooms are small, but ours had direct access to the balcony and we used that whenever we were not out and about. The cafe is wonderful and the guests have 4-5 choices of breakfasts. The cafe staff is wonderful! Steve, Stella, Tyler, everyone is friendly and attentive. The food is great! Some people may not like the fact that we had to make our own bed each morning, ask for the bathroom to be cleaned and ask for clean towels. We didn't mind, but be aware that this could happen with an extended stay.

We didn't exactly know what to expect when we booked our travel to New Orleans. The Balcony Guesthouse came recommended and it was a gem! We traveled and stayed at the guesthouse with some friends. Our suite was marvelous and the service from the wait and inn staff was superb. The location in the Marginy was perfect for us. We could walk wherever we needed to go and that we did. Definitely we will come back.

Looking for luxury and a characture impression of New Orleans? Not the place for you. Want to experience life in a typical New Orleans neighborhood? This is the place for you. Stay in the corner balcony room and sit until late at night on the balcony and here the sounds of the night. Experience the casual life if small cafes and coffee shops on just about every corner. Bar with live music just a block away. Long, enjoyable walk to French Quarter. Or, simply dine in the cafe below. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Easy on street parking.

We've enjoyed a half-dozen trips to NO, in some fancy hotels and other B&B's, all of which have been pretty good. But we were particularly impressed with the Balcony Guest House (or Guesthouse? I wasn't sure). We were there two nights during the week. There was some construction noise in the morning, but it wasn't too bad and it was on weekday mornings, after all. Everyone was very friendly, and they made breakfast to order. Breakfast is a little late, served between 9:30 and 10:30, if that matters to you. We were a few blocks walk (or whatever suits you) from the Quarter. I expect we'll stay there again the next time we make it over.

Great Food, Great People, Great Time!! I just want to thank all of the staff for making our family visit to NO most memorable. We will definitely be back so I hope you guys are ready!!

We just recently stayed at the Balcony Guesthouse for 4 nights on our first trip to NOLA and will most definitely be staying here again in the future. The proprietor and staff were so friendly and really went out of their way to make us feel at home. This is a great place located in a great neighborhood...a nice short walk to the French Quarter down really picturesque streets with friendly people...the cafe downstairs is always full of locals coming and going, you really get a great sense of what New Orleans life is like (and with free coffee and soft drinks included all day long, not to mention the excellent breakfast each morning, you'll spend plenty of time there). Other reviewers have mentioned feeling unsafe walking at night but we personally never felt uncomfortable...in all honesty, something is more likely to happen down in the more touristy areas of the French Quarter than in this quiet residential neighborhood of local families and recently-arrived YURPS (young urban rebuilding professionals). All in all, a wonderful place for the traveler who enjoys living like a local - highly recommended!
5 on April 04, 2011
Our stay began at the front desk with the more-than-friendly staff. The rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable and even the other guests were a joy! We were able to reserve the room at a great rate, under $100, even during Mardi Gras weekend, when hotel rooms were charging anywhere from $400 to $600. The food is to die for traditional southern faire as well as other ethnic options and the general store downstairs offered everything you could possibly need for your stay. I would stay here again anyday regardless of the time of year or my budget.

We recently stayed at this what I would call a boarding house room..It is not your standard B&B and does not hold a candle to most of them...The pictures in the photo album must have been taken 10 years ago as the curtains needed a good cleaning and they needed repair as they where falling off the rod. We booked 3 nights and when we got there would like to have left immediately as the room was not like the pic's.. We do not recommend this unless you are young and don't mind walking up to the french quarter (6blocks) with your head on a swivel as we felt nervous in the evening.. The room was in need of a good cleaning (under beds) and baseboards and needed painting. The bathroom was new but we got no service in the three days we even had to ask for wash cloths and toilet paper...The balcony was left a mess by other guest and stayed that way until we mentioned it to them.. We liked our breakfast and dinner we ate in the bar down stairs and the employees where very friendly and helpful.

My boyfriend and I went out to NOLA for his birthday. The Guest House location is PERFECT! We were able to easily walk to the French Quarter and Frenchmen St. But we were still far enough away that we didn't have to deal with the noise from Bourbon! My only complaint was the cleanliness... The floor under the bed was extremely dusty, the comforter had some stains, and the shower curtain was in pretty bad shape. But the linens and towels were fine. It wasn't so gross that I felt I had to change rooms, but for 100 bucks a night, it could have been cleaner. If you have any dust allergies, you would not be able to stay here without a Swiffer being ran around the room. The breakfast was excellent (full restaurant menu) and the people were extremely friendly! I would definitely recommend it and I will be staying there again on my next trip to New Orleans.
4.8 on November 29, 2010
We stayed here on our recent visit to NOLA. It was our first time but won't be our last! The location was easy to get to and conveniently located to the French Quarter, riverwalk areas and other tourist stuff. The whole place captured the essence of the New Orleans experience. Our room was comfortable, the food was outstanding and the service provided by all, expecially Brian and Cathy exceeded our expectations. True Southern Hosplitality!

Don't think about it anymore, book your room in the Balkony Guesthouse right now! I came to New Orleans on my own and found this amazing place by chance just because the room I booked in another hostel was not available. I enjoyed my stay in the Balcony Guesthouse so much that it will be definitely be my first choice when I come to New Orleans the next time. The service is very good and everyone is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great. I felt very comfortable there. The rooms are nice, comfortable and clean. The bar serves a very good full breakfast. You can sit outside at the bar or on the balcony. The French Quarter is in walking distance, it will take you 10 minutes to get there and see all the famous places of New Orleans. I am glad I found that place because the people I met there made my stay so much better! Enjoy your stay at the Balcony Guesthouse! You will have a great time!

The Balcony Guesthouse was a great gift on my visit to New Orleans. I happened to stumble upon it by accident, and never wanted to leave again. The room, with wooden floors, bed and closets is very tasteful, quiet, honest and clean, with a balcony surrounding the house that is perfect to hang out on. The people that work at the place are a very cool bunch indeed. Personal, interested but not crowding and the restaurant/bar is great to meet people or eat good (and healthy!) food. The neighborhood is funky, with an alternative feel to it. I, being a solo female traveler, felt safe there. And gorgeous houses too!

I stay at Schiros every year. It's just outside the French Quarter by a few blocks, so it is close, but not too close. The inn is on the second floor, and there is a balcony which wraps around and is open to all the guests. Right downstairs, is a cafe, bar, and grocery. I have everything I need when I stay there. The staff is down to earth locals, who bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. For example, On my first night, I arrived in the late afternoon and was too tired to go out. I called in my dinner order and sat out on the balcony for awhile. When I went downstairs to pick up my food, the inn keeper, Zak, asked if I needed anything. I replied that if I had a fan and a radio out on the balcony, I'd be in heaven. He immediately called for Rodriquo to go into his personal office, get his fan and radio and bring it up to the balcony for me. I sat out on the balcony that evening with my fabulous Indian dinner, a bottle of Shiraz, my osculating fan, and transistor radio. I was in heaven. :) I would never have received such personal service at a big hotel. The people at Schiros Balcony Guest House bend over backwards to serve their guests. A+++++ all the way!

Great location, and two of the rooms with balconies overlooking Royal Street. Weekend nights are the only time we go, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Don't look for luxury digs, just a cool, well air-conditioned place in North America's coolest spot.

The accomodations were good, and it was nice to stay in a place that was local, and not as touristy. The staff was very friendly and accomodating, and a full restaurant breakfast was included making this a great value. One night there was a party going on in the street, so it was a bit noisy, but we were enjoying having the windows open and it would have been drowned out had we closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner.
