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.

Great experience with Bruce's Tours - Very enjoyable tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about Halifax, Titanic, The Great Halifax Explosion. The ride out to Peggy's Cove was full of picturesque photo stops at many other little coves.

Great experience, views and information - Bruce was an excellent guide. Great and very interesting, information was timely and increased our knowledge of the area and its history. I highly recommend him and his service. He also knows where to stop and how to frame iconic spots in both the town and the seaside. Thanks again Bruce, if we come back we hope to see you again!

Good tour for the cost! - Bruce picked us up on time and his van was very clean. You can tell Bruce has done this tour many times before, as he had each moment, and place scripted with lots of information and details. Our only suggestions would be to offer choices (like would you prefer stopping here or there?). We felt very rushed at Peggy’s Cove, whereas too much time was spent traveling around up and down all the many streets of Halifax. This part could have been condensed and limited as it tiok up too much time. The Titannic Cemetary was very interesting and Bruce was knowledgeable about the historical facts about the passengers buried there. Overall, it was a good way to tour around and learn about Halifax amd Peggy’s Cove.

Needs More Flexibility - One star for getting us to Peggy’s Cove and one star for getting us back to the ship on time. This was an uncomfortable tour. We were told where to sit in the van, one in the front, and what to take pictures of and how to take them. When I told Bruce I would be moving to the back seat (so I could have a conversation with my friend and hopefully take my own photos), the photo opportunities seemed to stop. The photo ops in Halifax were not great anyway, including a stop for one of an alley and an another of a Pepto Bismol colored house. The tour script seemed to be fixed. We would have enjoyed less time in Halifax and more in Peggy’s Cove. But while in Halifax we would have loved hearing more about the Citadel and history, with less time driving up and down streets and stopping for photos we didn’t want to take.
