Poor timing missed th highland village. It was closed when we arrived and we were allowed to walk around but it looked more like a ghost town. There were no period actors and nothing to see/do demonstrations . The tour guide was very nice, thank you terry. The Alexander graham bell museum was a nice experience.

We had a wonderful tour of the Highland Village and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, thanks to our exceptional guide, Tom. Despite some unexpected challenges—including a last-minute change in our ship’s docking procedure and a few late passengers—Tom handled everything with grace and professionalism. He quickly adjusted the itinerary without compromising the quality of the experience.
Tom was incredibly informative, sharing rich insights into the history and culture of Cape Breton and the life of Alexander Graham Bell. His passion for the area was evident and made the tour all the more engaging. He was also attentive and helpful throughout, ensuring everyone was comfortable and well taken care of.
Most impressively, Tom managed to get us back to the ship right on time, which was no small feat given the delays. Highly recommend this tour—and especially Tom—for anyone looking to explore these fascinating sites with a knowledgeable and reliable guide.

Tom was great!! Very knowledgeable and courteous. Love the small group sizes offered by Viator. Great way to see the area.

We liked the small group tour. Enjoyed stopping at Christmas Tree Island post office. The highland village was interesting but we enjoyed Alexander Graham Bell Museum a bit better. We had a little time to eat lunch in Baddeck. All in all a nice overview of the area

The local guide, Bob, was excellent. The scenery was beautiful. My one criticism is that we could have had more time at the two museums and less time for lunch. I did not go on the tour to eat.

Most beautiful scenery and best tour guide of all our excursions! Highland village setting is extraordinary. Baddeck was a good stop for lunch and the Alexander Graham Bell museum was very interesting. We had additional smaller stops that the big buses don’t do that added to the day!

Tour guide was just OK. Discussed political and personal beliefs a bit too much. Baddeck village was just OK also. If you have been on many cruise tours I would say this is not worth it. OK for newbies.

It's a long drive, but with beautiful scenery Tom was our guide, he was informative and friendly. The Highland village was very interesting and in a scenic location. Nice stop for lunch. The Alexander Graham Bell museum was ok.

Small tour, there were only 4 of us total. This allowed our guide to personalize our day and experience. Our guide was very informative and gave us his personal story of living in the area.
Alejandro_I, Oct 2025
Not worth it, the driver kept us waiting 1 hour, then I drive 2. Hours without giving any information, left us in front of some pizzas gave us 25 minutes to eat, finally took us to the Alejandro museum Graham Bell gave us 45 minutes and returned to the port after an hour and a half of road
