Great driver and tour - It was a great place for a family to go. Kids enjoyed seeing craftsmen/women doing their trades from the old days. Unfortunately, my mother could not go because she is limited in walking and the trails are all gravel and would not support her wheelchair. She got to see some of the village from the hill where the bus driver dropped us and she got to go inside the very small museum. I think there are plans in the works to make the trail more handicapped friendly in the coming years. Overall, a great day!

Great Shore Excursion - We took this tour as a shore excursion from our cruise stop in Sydney, NS. Both sites, the Highland Village as well as the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, provided a nice snapshot of two historical elements of the region. Our guide was very informative and flexible in accommodating any requests. The one thing that anyone on this tour needs to be aware of is the fact that it takes on average 50 min between each stop incl. cruise port. So, there is a significant amount of driving which in our case allowed us to see much of the beautiful scenery in the fall.

Enjoyed Cape Breton! - Small tour, there were only 4 of us total. This allowed our guide to personalize our day and experience. Our guide was very informative and gave us his personal story of living in the area.
