Cruise day Cabot Trail bus tour from Sydney, Cape Breton, with local guides, scenic photo stops, and air-conditioned comfort.
“It was one of the most amazing excursion. Our driver/guide BOB was a local from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, his experience was unmatched! He was so lively and informative. He knew all the back roads so that we were never in competition with other tours, nor stuck in traffic. It was our luck that the cruise line was booked up on this popular excursion. So I had to research to find which outside tour would offer the same excursion (The Cabot Trail). It turned out that it was better priced than the other tour companies. The views he lead us to breath taking. I can tell you in the future…”
A GPS-triggered smartphone audio drive of the Cabot Trail with offline-friendly narration, history stops, and scenic pull-offs for your whole car.
“When the audio files played out of sequence it took awhile to correct. Most of it played properly. It adds a great deal to a driving trip to play a GPS triggered guide app.”

“This review is more about the company that created this tour. We were on a 28 day cruise from Boston to Iceland. Many delays prevented us from arriving in Boston on tine and we missed the ship. We were finally able to arrive in Sydney to meet the ship. We arrived about 1:30 am and this tir began at 830 am. Through many conversations with Robert, he had the driver pick us up at the hotel and meet the group. After the tour the driver took us back to the hotel to get our luggage and then back to the port to check in. This is beyond our expectations! Great…”

A 6-hour walking tour from Sydney, Nova Scotia, with round-trip transfer to Fortress Louisbourg, 17th-century stories, and French soldier scenes.
“Our tour of the Louisbourg Fortress was great fun. Our driver, Bob, was a hoot! He shared a lot of information on the way to and from the fortress. He also made some good suggestions about ways to alter the tour, and they were good options. Overall, the tour was great. If our group of seven had to make a suggestion, we would opt for cutting the time at the fortress by an hour. We got do all the things at the fortress and still had time for lunch. Thanks again, Bob, for super tour.”
