The guide and driver were wonderful, with personal stories intermixed with history and pride in Cape Brenton! Got lucky with the fall colors and the did a great job adjusting the schedule and going farther while watching the time so that we were back with plenty of time to get back to the cruise ship

We enjoyed the flexibility of this private tour. We were able to make a stop that interested us. We were able to eat lunch at our own pace and we loved the Cabot Trail experience. Kevin was a great local tour guide, very knowledgeable. If you have points of interest you really want to see, I would research in advance and then discuss the route with your guide at the beginning of the tour. That being said, the pre-planned tour was fine for us as well.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this tour and our guide, Kevin. We were met directly at our cruise ship and while the masses were herded into crowded buses and tight minivans, our group of 5 were comfortably seated in a Cadillac Escalade. Basically we were able to design a tour any way we wanted as the tour was private but we had great guidance on the best sites to visit, and before the larger tours arrived. We made many stops at some beautiful overlook views and Kevin took many photos of our group. He was so knowledgeable about Cape Breton and provided an excellent narration of the area and history and culture. You can tell that Kevin is very passionate about Cape Breton. He would give us options on where to eat based on budget and tastes. He was very mindful about ensuring we were back to our ship in time. We were lucky enough to see a very beautiful bald eagle pretty close up as we departed off a small ferry. We were on the lookout for moose but were not able to see any this time. At our request we stopped at a gondola ride to get an awesome view of the water and mountains. The leaves were just starting to change but not quite yet. We stopped for a nice lunch of local soup and sandwiches which was perfect as we did not want a sit down meal, although he was more than happy to bring us to one if we wanted. It really was a very memorable experience and was perfect for our group of 5. Thanks Kevin for a really luxurious personal excursion.

We had an excellent driver/guide Lifelong resident of Cape Breton and professional driver He took us to some beautiful beaches and overlooks He also personalized the tour to our interests He suggested we take the Atlantic Gondola up Smokey Mountain - that was a highlight for us as was the stop at a local glass artisan shop He spent a full seven hours taking us from Sydney to past Ingonish The road is quite winding and a bit treacherous I’m glad I didn’t attempt the drive myself I would have seen much less than we saw with a local I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney for the day
