Recommended - We were picked up in the morning directly at the ship. There were two other passengers on the tour. So we had enough space in the big car. Our driver J.D. showed us a lot and explained it. Special requests such as extra stops for photos were gladly implemented. The tour was just wonderful and makes you want more! We would recommend them without reservation.

Wonderful Autumn Scenic Tour of Cape Breton Island's Cabot Trail - This "Taxi Tour" was with one driver in a Toyota Corolla. One problem was that we never received the starting time when we booked the tour, and we were on the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Sea, so when we finally called to find out the starting time, we ended up being an hour late because it started at 8:30 am and we were still eating breakfast. Anyway, Rav, the driver guide, was very accommodating and he stopped in many scenic places along the way so we could take pictures. It would have been helpful if he had a head microphone as being in the back seat in a small car, it was sometimes hard to hear him. He took us to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck which took us about 2 hours (A Highlight of our Trip to Cape Breton: he paid for our admission) and returned to pick us up and continue around the Cabot Trail to enjoy the beauty of that island. He took us to a Tim Horton's to get coffee once but we didn't make any lunch stops, so would advise you bring your own snacks if you want to have something to eat along the way. All in all, it was a wonderful day trip but it would have been better to be in a vehicle with larger windows. He did say he was considering that for the future.

Fabulous Autumn colours - An excellent trip to see the autumn colours which were magnificent. The Alexander Graham Bell museum was very interesting. Saw a bald eagle at Baddeck.
Our driver was waiting at the dockside when we disembarked the cruise ship. Unfortunately we all had to wait over half an hour for two other passengers who were arriving on another ship several hours later and had not informed their time of arrival to the tour operator. We left without them.

Great excursion - Our tour was very enjoyable and relaxing. The scenery was beautiful along the Cabot Trail and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck was very fascinating. Bell was involved in several inventions which most people are unaware.

Worst coordination issues ever experienced on a shore excursion - I booked this excursion through the Viator site. On arrival to the port, things went very bad. Pickup time was 8:00 am. My friend and I were there by 7:40. Tour company had mini vans to take us that held 5 to 6 people. And had us in separate vans. Note: we booked the excursion separately because we each needed to pay for our own. There was no way to say you need to travel with someone. They were waiting on other people. The people did not show up. Asked at 8:10 what was happening. They said they had to wait a half an hour. Company policy. We never left till 8:40. People never showed. 1/2 hr down the road of our 5 hr tour, the dispatcher called our driver and said he had to turn around. The people were on the other cruise ship. I said they was no way we were turning around. If they did, I would demand a refund. Tour driver disregarded the dispatcher, and we continued.
The tour driver (Lovee?) was great. Very courteous and informative. I have no complaints with this gentleman. But the whole coordination of this excursion was awful.
Also noted. that you have to have cell or internet service, or you won't get any updates on any of this. So, if a person has their phone on airplane mode because of international rates, you are hosed.
