*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travellers are saying
- Kathy K1 contributionOur tour guide was unresponsive to my advance questions sent through this app, which made me a bit nervous.
In person he was very informative and friendly. It was nice to have a guide who lives locally, and it was a beautiful & unique setting!
The description of this tour could have better reflected how more than half the tour time would be traveling there by car. The hour out there seemed very short.Written July 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a memorable tour with my daughters!Written July 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nettie BRehovot, Israel8 contributionsAdam,our tour guide was very good but unfortunately we could hardly hear him. He was using a Mike but it did not come out clear and many times the sound of the vehicle and traffic made it incomprehensible. Don't you think a company as big as yours could invest in earphones for everyone so that the explanations could be heard? Your system is very old fashioned and should be upgraded.Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tracey TTruro12 contributionsI highly recommend this tour. Jeff was our tour guide and it was an amazing day. He is punctual and gave us important and very interesting information about this region in Nova Scotia.Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stacey HCarlisle, PA11 contributionsWhat a perfect daytrip! As a solo traveler, this was a perfect way to see a lot of sights outside of Halifax while enjoying the view by letting someone else drive. Andrew was an awesome guide - friendly, welcoming, fun, and full of information without making you feel like you were in a lecture. While structured to get from place to place, the tour gave us free time in several locations to customize our day. I'd recommend for anyone visiting the area, especially if it's your first time or you're on a short holiday!Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mary B1 contributionLots of riding in a bus. A comfortable ride but long to get to places. We had to shorten our tour due to a slightly late arrival of cruise ship but we still were able to see most places promised. Knowledgeable guide but hard to hear sometimes.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jay Doe20 contributionsPleasantly surprised! We booked in a late request and hoped that the Cabot Trail would be a good cover of ground for one cruise day in Sydney. I will admit, there were a lot of 'what-if' misgivings as can be with pre-trip planning - of the wrong season, of bad weather, of all the ways that travel can go awry, etc. - but day of and then on, we felt pretty lucky with how all turned out!
First - compliments to our guide, David (also with Sydney + Cape Breton Taxi Tours, #23). David accentuated all that we could hope for in booking independently: informative, conscientious, and individually considerate as can be difficult to ask and receive with large-group cruise tours in comparison. I'm especially and truly thankful for his attentiveness in terms of my group's mobility needs where no stop or distance was too small for his care; each time we were all appreciative of his efforts to look out for our safety and comfort. At the same time, David was also open and accessible in questions and conversations - life, history, and more present-day concerns and challenges, all of which allowed us to feel briefly closer to the longer-term, local experience on our one day out.
As for our time on the trail: Beautiful. Certainly, the idea of seeing it in full fall splendor is wonderful, but the views of the coast and cliffs in blue and green still stand out as some of our best memories on the trip. A day's travel allowed us to get all the way to Ingonish and the Keltic Lodge, with plenty of stops along the way - beaches, overlooks, Gaelic College, and more. We were fortunate to have good weather, and yes, though the return was on the same road, a second look at the scenery was very welcome before a timely return to the cruise terminal.
Thank you to David and to Cabot Discovery Tours for such a lovely day in Cape Breton!Written January 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Luckily enough the hotel I booked allowed me to be picked up and dropped off. The guide was a great guy and the other people that went along for the tour were also great. I highly recommend this service.Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JKesGettysburg, PA9 contributionsOK, don’t show up for this tour unless you’re hungry. Each of our stops consisted of a full portion of each item and not a sample as we expected. My wife and I took this tour today on a beautiful afternoon and we were the only participants ( it is pricey). Our tour guide (Will Flood) was knowledgeable about the city and the food to be enjoyed. He easily shared his knowledge of the history of the area as well as the entertainment options in the city. On our tour we experienced: seafood chowder; oysters; donare (it’s a Halifax thing); lobster rolls and finished up with amazing soft serve ice creme creations served with cotton candy. The tour lasted about 2 hours and included a bit of walking; including climbing several blocks up hill from the harbor. After this tour I guess I’m skipping dinner 😎!!Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael SBellefontaine, OH1 contributionWhile not the complete tour we would have liked to have taken, we were limited, as a cruise tour, by our time constraint. Our guide did an excellent job of getting us as far as he could in the allotted time frame. I SO wish we could have gone the entire loop of the Cabot Trail as we thoroughly enjoyed the sights and history of what we were able to see In our limited time. In returning to the ship, it's too bad we had to simply retrace our steps, re-seeing the sights we had already driven past and not new sights all the way back to the ship. We especially liked the stop at a fishing port and watching the fisherman deliver their lobsters to waiting buyers, seeing the creatures up close and seeing how the whole system works!Written July 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JDS8888United Kingdom81 contributionsThis was a very well organised tour. Ron was an excellent guide and driver around the sights. Would highly recommend this company.Written June 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MelisBryToronto, Canada146 contributionsBLT Limo is a wonderful car service that I would highly recommend. Stewart, your driver, is a lovely man with a lot of knowledge about the history of Nova Scotia. My two kids and I did a full day tour including Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove and it was wonderful. We liked Stewart so much that we hired him at the end of our trip to take us to the airport as well. I was traveling alone with two kids and felt very safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend BLT Limousine and Stewart.Written July 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Happy TravelerKansas City, MO373 contributionsMust book this tour! Paul is a local, knowledgeable man who kept us entertained the entire time. He knew how to time the tour perfectly to see changing of the guards and hear cannon fire at noon at Citadel, went to authentic fishing village, learned about the Titanic and went to cemeteries to pay respects to victims buried there. We went to "hidden gem" places a large tour bus can't go. Paul was very professional, kind, and accommodating.
You have to go on this tour!!!Written June 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Doryce SFreeport, TX11 contributionsFun trip. Music was great. Didn’t get his name. Gordon?
