Bruce…our tour guide, was... - Bruce…our tour guide, was excellent. He seemed to have photography experience and even had flash cards to photograph with the names of the areas we were visiting. Found the Titanic graveyard and stories to be most interesting.

Great Photo Opportunies - We spent a pleasant day touring Halifax, Peggy's Cove and small towns in between. Bruce does tell you to take photos of certain sites. A nice touch was taking a photo of card with the name of the location before touring the place. Also at the end we were given a list of all the photo stops which will also help identify the photos. We had over an hour to explore Peggy's Cove which was plenty of time. We ate lunch at a small takeout place in Peggy's Cove (at our own expense).

The perfect Autumn day. - Bruce was a very thorough guide and knew the best spots for photos. Two of the highlights were the cemetary where Titantic victims were buried, and of course, Peggy's Cove. The weather was perfect

Peggy's cove - The tour was very well organized. Bruce took my mum and I to the locations in the description. We went all over downtown, the titanic cemetery and Peggy's cove. Lots of great pictures. However, there was alot of quiet time while traveling and spent time going through different levels of (income) homes. Overall, it was a nice tour.

Wonderful time with Bruce! - Bruce was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information about Titanic cemetery, Halifax downtown, Peggy's Cove and surrounding area. There were 6 of us and had a comfortable ride. Bruce had bottles of water and a maple candy as a welcome gift. Loves photography and made sure you got the perfect shot. At end of tour he had written down exactly where we had taken the photo. Only wish that we had time to see more of the botanical gardens in Halifax.

A good trip and worth the private tour - Prompt pickup which was appreciated. So nice to have tour for aourselves rather than multiple pick-ups. Bruce stuck to his "script" so did not engage in any discussion about anything else. Informative about the sites and places we visited or drove past. Good idea of his to have prepared cards which we took a photo of before we started taking photos of that particular area. Less opportunity for photos from back seat so put your best photographer in the front. I still took 137 photos. My friend took well over 300 from the front seat.

Private tour, but no flexibility - Booked a private tour, hoping to work with the driver on what we wanted to see. Bruce had a definite and very specific agenda, including what neighborhoods to go through, what pictures of adirondack chairs to take, how to take them, "zoom in, don't get the shadow" etc. There was no discussion of what we might be interested in and how we wanted to spend our time, which for us was the whole point of a private tour. That being said, he was very knowledgeable about the things he wanted to tell us. Knew a lot about the Titanic cemetery, which was interesting. Dropped us off for 2 hours (again without any discussion of what we might want) in Peggy's Cove. If you want something that's predetermined and you just ride along and listen, this is for you. We could have done that on a cheaper bus tour however. We would have loved a 30 minutes stop at a trail head for example, instead of all of the neighborhoods, different socio=economic examples. Some people might love that, but not us.
