Total Freedom and a Great Ride - If you’re planning a trip to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, this tour is hands-down the way to do it. I loved that it didn’t feel like a rigid, "follow-the-leader" type of excursion—it gave us the perfect balance of a reliable ride and the independence to wander through Baddeck at our own speed. The shuttle was super cozy, and our driver was a gem, giving us a great rundown of the area’s history on the drive over. Being able to lose ourselves in Bell’s inventions and then stroll down to the waterfront for a coffee without watching a clock was exactly what we needed. It completely took the guesswork out of the logistics. If you want a day that’s easy, flexible, and genuinely fun, I’d book this in a heartbeat!

Best Shuttle For Tour - I recently used Shuttle24, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The booking process was quick and simple, and I received all confirmation details on time. The driver arrived early, was professional, polite, and helped with the luggage. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The ride was smooth, and I reached the airport perfectly on schedule without any stress. What I appreciated most was the reliability and hassle-free service. In today’s rush, finding a punctual and trustworthy transfer service is rare — but Shuttle24 truly delivered.

Best Guided Drive on Cape Breton—Scenic & Superb Logistics. - The logistics were flawless. We were picked up right at the Big Fiddle and returned to the ship with plenty of time to spare. The vehicle was comfortable, and the drive to Baddeck, especially with the stunning scenery, flew by. The true difference-maker was our guide Jass. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the island's history, culture, and shared wonderful local stories. We felt completely immersed in Cape Breton life, not just transported. The time management of Shuttle Tours was excellent, giving us enough time at the Bell Museum .And a quick, enjoyable stop in the village of Baddeck for lunch. Absolutely worth every penny.

Lovely Tour, Tight Fit - The tour operator and Jazz, our driver, greeted us as we disembarked. Jazz was a very kind and safe driver. The van for the 6 of us were in was very cramped and uncomfortable for the three guests who could fit and get into the 3rd row seating. I would suggest only 3-5 guests for comfort, but definitely not 6! The two in rear seat would need to be nimble and navigate getting in the rear seat. It was unfortunate we had 6. The seating isn’t made for that many adults. Especially ones with some mobility issues. We made a couple stops along the way for pictures. It was a lovely drive out to the museum and the waterside village. The hour for lunch was ample, though we did not make it through all the exhibits in the museum in an hour. We still really enjoyed the it. Jazz was very prompt at meeting us at the assigned time and getting us back to the cruise area.

Not A Very Exciting Museum or Drive - The driver and the vehicle were extremely nice. The museum was a let down. It is mainly pictures of things with words to read about them. What was learned on the tour could have been learned via a simple web search. The drive was beautiful, but I question if it was worth the time and money from the cruise ship for this visit. The driver was a driver and not a professional tour guide (this was understood before the tour). I feel like we missed a bit by not having someone able to explain things. The driver was very helpful with one of our friends that encountered some mobility issues
