Picture Perfect!
We did a tour with Bruce while visiting Halifax on a cruise, and it was such a great experience! When we came off the ship, he was waiting for us with an umbrella because it was pouring rain and extremely windy.
Bruce picked us up in a comfortable van and took us to many different places throughout Halifax, explaining the history and significance of each stop along the way. Because of the weather, there were times when getting out wasn’t ideal, so he would roll down the window and make sure we could still get a great photo. He knew all the best photo spots and even gave us tips on how to capture the perfect picture!
We ended our tour at Peggy’s Cove, where we had about an hour to explore. It was the perfect amount of time to see the lighthouse, walk around, visit a few shops, and grab something to eat.
Bruce made sure we were back at the cruise port with plenty of time before we needed to board the ship, which gave us peace of mind.
If you love sightseeing and taking photos, this is definitely the tour for you. Bruce was knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the most of a very rainy and windy day. Highly recommend!

Halifax and Peggy’s Cove
Bruce was very knowledgeable about the history of Halifax and most interestingly about the Titanic passengers in the cemetary. We toured Halifax and then cruised through all the areas on the way to Peggy’s Cove. My husband uses a wheelchair and Bruce was very helpful getting him in and out, and the vehicle had the space to store it folded up in the back. Thank you, Bruce, for a wonderful day.

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).
