Great tour in Sydney - JD was great and reached out to us to work with our schedule. My only complaint, and it is a Viator issue, is that we could not specify a pick up time when trying to book online.

Excellent private tour - The guide was informative and helpful. The tour worked well with our brief cruise stop in Sydney. We saw and learned a lot of information about the history and sites in the Sydney area. This tour far surpassed our expectations!

Important Cape Breton facts. - We visited quite a bit of the island. Rahul, our guide was very informative and helpful. We made a new friend. He stopped wherever we wanted and helped us get those great photos.

Fantastic tour guide and tour! - Our cruise ship tour was cancelled so we found Damanpreet Singh who provided us with a fantastic tour instead! He took us around the town of Sydney, the coast, and to Louisbourg. We were given a lot of history in the area and learned so much. Honestly, this turned out to be so much better for us!

Sydney Nova Scotia is a beautiful place! - Beautiful drive along the coast and to see the light house! Wish we could have seen more of the area! It would have been nice if there was some local music being played in port while our ship was there!

Great fun with new friends. - My wife and I went on this tour thinking we were going on a private tour of Cape Breton Island. Instead we were joined by two couples which we enjoyed very much.. Our tour guide, JD, brought us to a number of scenic locations on the island while telling us some history of the island and the indigenous people. He took us to an Irish pub where we had lunch and made some new friends. Very nice indeed.

Would not recommend this tour. - Stopped at a lighthouse for a quick picture. Tour guide not really knowledgeable on the area and was hard to understand because of his ethnicity. Also, he was texting while driving us around. Would not recommend this tour.

Tour spoiled by small vehicle - Our driver, 'Tiny' :), was knowledgeable and gave a nice tour however, the car was a Toyota Highlander. It's advertised to seat 7 passengers but if you've ever been in one, the 3rd row is for children, not adults, and certainly not senior adults. We had 6 senior adults. Climbing in and out was hard and ride was uncomfortable. At each stop, we looked like sausages popping out of a tin can! Maximum passengers should have been 3-4 at most. Wish I could give a better rating but TripAdvisor was aware of reservation details and still booked an inappropriate vehicle.
