disappointing
disappointing exit.
The only good thing is that they're picking us up at home.
The Deep cove site is very beautiful. We could have done this walk without a guide thanks to the very well marked path.
The “guide” does not tell us about the environment in which we walk or the history of the place, if we do not ask questions, we have no information.
And photo level we had no advice, unfortunately, because that's what interested us.
The title of this outing should have been: I take you to Depp Cove, I come with you to show you where to go and take pictures.
we would not have chosen this trip "photography and intermediate hiking"

Thank you Nafees for an...
Thank you Nafees for an amazing hike at Quarry Rock! Highly recommended :) He gave great tips on how to take great photos and show you hidden places with great views and less crowd. He is very thoughtful and patient and goes at your pace during the hike.

Wonderful Hike at Quarry Rock in Deep Cove!
This was an amazing hike up a beautiful trail. Nafees was terrific and very patient as my wife and I are both in our 60s and don't move like mountain goats anymore. I can strongly recommend working with Nafees and taking this hike!

Deep cove hike
A lovely hike that was just the right mix in between a fresh walk and a little challenge. Nafees made it a nice experience with good conversation and offering to take some keepsake photos. A morning well spent!

Wonderful Day Wonderful Photos
Nafees was wonderful and took me on a solo tour of Vancouver nature hikes. I would consider myself a intermediate photographer, but he helped me to explore long exposures and macro photography more. I would love to post more photos, but the site isn't accepting the photos I took on my camera, just the ones on my phone. Sorry, they were great though!

Great day with a great guide
This was my last day in Vancouver and I hadn't had many good photo ops. I booked this tour and have come home with a good selection of photos of both natural areas and city views that will remind me of my time in Vancouver. Thanks Nafees for a great full day of photography.
