Cabot Trail cruise excursion from Sydney, NS with a local guide, air-conditioned transport, photo stops, and bakery break. $129.72.
“Long day on a very comfortable and safely driven bus with few stops on most scenic viewpoints. This is the best you can do with the time a cruise allows you on the ground. A local man provided commentary along the way which was packed with good information but some technical issues with the microphone made it difficult for many at times to follow, but no biggie as there were plenty of opportunities to ask directly and fill the gaps. There is no lunch break but a stop at a bakery to get sandwiches and sweets (some limited Gluten free options available).”

“To start off the meet and greet at the port worked well. Our guide Bob was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Having lived in the area for his entire life, Bob was able to give us the history, and his unique stories of how the area has changed to what it is currently. There was a lot of time driving but the scenery was beautiful, and Bob's narration along the way was great. Even though I thought I had booked a private tour (ended up being about fourteen of us on a small bus) we had a wonderful time. Bob, thanks for a memorable day in Sydney.Read more”
