Despite calling only the day before, we were able to book a tour for five hours and we specifically asked them to take us along the Eastern Cabot Trail (some of the most dramatic views are on this side) all the way to Ingonish and the Keltic Lodge. Our driver was punctual, accommodating, and patient. The drive was spectacular as are our photographs if I do say so.

There were 11 of us on the minibus quite a pleasant change from the mega-buses that the cruise ship tours use. Our guide assured us that she would make up for the late start & boy, did she. Our tour ended up being almost 8 hours. Our tour guide made stops at some beautiful lookouts along the Cabot Trail. The pictures I took was like looking at a postcard just stunning.

Apr. 30, 2019: My wife and I had a great tour to the Fortress of Louisbourg with our driver Robert (owner of the Company) and tour guide Marcel. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to show us different areas of their beautiful island. Thanks for a great day; you both made us feel like we were with old friends rather than on just another tour.

On the date the cruise ship was to stop in Sydney, it was too windy and the ship was unable to dock. Robert had witnessed the ship turning around and sail away. He promptly returned the deposit and prepaid tour amount to my credit card. We were disappointed not to tour this area but were pleased with the ease of scheduling the tour and the no-hassle refund.

We had a small group of 8 people and what a great tour we had. The small group made the difference from cruise ship excursions. We were able to customize the day to our liking. One of the couples had been to a particular spot that they wanted to visit again. The driver was most accommodating and got us up to Neil’s Harbor which was absolutely lovely.
