Addition to Blue Diamond's "The Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax, Nova Scotia - DIY Cruise Ship Excursion"

One aspect that wasn't in our original offering was F.R.E.D. now Fred can make getting around in the "core of the olde city of Halifax " very easy. And , for some, Fred will offer the ultimate in touring in Halifax, especially if the weather is not ideal. Fred's route will fit in very well with our " the Almost Free Family Fun in Halifax Nova Scotia - DIY Cruise Ship Excursion " . Shortly, we will have snapshots of the area where Fred operates. For now, the following is the information directly from the Fred web-site, for your convenience. Thank you to the Downtown Halifax Business Commission!!
