It's been a wonderful 2025 season at LWT! There are many people to thank but, right now, a special shout-out to the Province of Nova Scotia. Through a provincial accessibility program, we were able to obtain a voice-activated listening system this season. That system ensured people with hearing challenges, and large groups, could fully enjoy our walking tours. These devices made a huge difference on multiple occasions and were greatly appreciated by guests!

We're pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Community, Culture, Tourism and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians and visitors to our UNESCO town.

If you have a taste for impressive architecture, colourful folklore, dramatic history, graceful tall ships, salty breezes, and a surprise around every corner, make sure to come and join us very soon. Anchor tours – Available year round by reservation. $25 adults/$15 youth Essential Lunenburg: A good measure of history on a stroll that focuses on architecture and significant buildings, including St. John's Anglican Church.

Throw in a little murder and mayhem plus visits to St John’s Church and Hillcrest Cemetery and you may not be able to sleep tonight!
