Sheila_D, Oct 2025

We had a small group of just 4 of us which worked out nicely, and comfortable in a van. The guide was very outgoing, accommodating and knowledgeable in the history of the area.

Judy_M, Oct 2025

The scenery was fantastic and we really enjoyed the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Our guide, Jack, provided a lot of info and did a great job. The tour did cut it closer to "all aboard" ship time than I am comfortable with, but we made it.

Beauty and History

anandafish, Sep 2025

The Cape Breton area is a must see while visiting Nova Scotia. It is quite a long drive from the cruise port, but the driver breaks up the trip in both directions. We took a regular sized mini van. At first, the operator tried to squeeze 6 full sized adults into the van (with 3 in the back seat) As a group, we collectively refused with this seating arrangement and he was able to reconfigure groups and we ended up with 5 which was comfortable for all. The scenery is beautiful although we were a few weeks early for peak fall colors. I would highly recommend going as close to mid October as possible. Our driver was knowledgable and informative. We enjoyed the tour.

Cabot Trail and Cape Breton very disorganized

anthonyfeliciano07, Sep 2025

This experience could have gone much better if it had been organized properly. First of all we were supposed to begin at 10am however we left at 11am on a bus that had dirty windows thus preventing any good photos to be taken from the trip while on the road. At the pick up point no-one was there with any type of identification or signage to properly assist travelers. I had to ask anybody around before finding a guy with a pad scribbling on it, he seemed lost in space. The guide offered very little historical information and fell short of providing a good schedule our stops. We were only able to visit the Alexander G. Bell museum for 25 mins. Hardly enough to see anything. Instead we made unnecessary stops which set us back in time. Very unfortunate but preventable. We expect a refund.

Wonderful

We had a lovely day and had a good time. Beautiful scenery, nice stops and Vishna was a great guide.

Great tour fitting a lot...

Brianna_M, Sep 2025

Great tour fitting a lot of sights in on one day. Booked this last minute after another tour cancelled on us. The tour operator was available to answer questions the night before. We were picked up right outside the cruise ship. The guide was very knowledgeable on the area and answered many questions. This is a small group tour in a van seating 6. During the drive to Baddeck we stopped at a few scenic locations on the Cabot Trail. We were able to get out, take in the scenery and snap a few photos. After arriving in Baddeck we had the option to go to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum or check out the town shops and restaurants. There was not time to do both so we opted for the museum. The museum is not large but had a lot of story boards and artifacts to look through. Next we went to the Gaelic College. Here we just walked through the shop. We were supposed to stop at a cafe before returning but they were closed so we went to a chocolate store. This was a nice stop to pick up a few sweets. The rest of the tour was driving the Cabot trail before getting on the ferry to head back to Sydney. It was a long drive and the leaves had not started changing colors yet but still very scenic.

Stunning island tour

dianecrow, Sep 2025

It was a lovely day. Such a beautiful island. Our guide was so informative and flexible. We wanted a little time for lunch, he added some extra time for us to do that and recommended an excellent restaurant right in the water.

Enjoyed the sights

Carmen_N, Sep 2025

Our tour guide was nice and just okay. He gave interesting info while in van. When at the sights, he did not exit the van to give narrative of the places like some of the other tours.
