Great Value
Published on Nov, 2024
This is such an incredible value. I did not fully read the directions that it is set up for a counter clockwise route and even though you can follow it clockwise, it is a bit more cumbersome. That said, we really enjoyed the tour and found a lovely place to stay in Ingonish that we wouldn't have found otherwise!
Informative and fun!
Published on Oct, 2024
Very informative and fun way to learn about Cabot trail. Audio picks up as you go. They have a quiz and we missed most of them.! Very difficult!
