Highly recommended - beautiful and interesting tour - We had a great tour. We lucked out with weather and we got an upgrade to a private tour so there was just 6 of us in a Mercedes sprinter. Bob was our guide and he was fantastic. He knew the area well and made sure we saw some beautiful country and learned a bit about Cape Breton and the area. We did not see the entire Cabot Trail but what we saw was spectacular. The leaf color was really popping, and seeing it against the coastal views was really great. Bob got us back over an hour before the ships departure and made sure we were aware of timing and what we would be seeing and how long everything would take. Would do this again in a heartbeat - and we hope Bob is still doing tours when we come back!

Entertaining tour in a small group with competent tour guide of the region along the Cabot Trail. - Our tour guide Bob drove us to particularly beautiful spots of the Cabot Trail and gave us interesting information about the region.

We were a group of 8... - We were a group of 8 friends. It’s nice to have the van just for us. Tom, our driver and tour guide, made the day very enjoyable as he took us to many places on the Cabot trail and gave us lots of information about Cape Breton. He also brought us on time back to our cruise ship.

All went well and was a good value. I would recommend to anyone - Bob our tour guide was very good. Our tour departed a few minutes late due to a single passenger not showing up tho it was easy to find our tour.

Bo knows the Cabot Trail.... - Bo knows the Cabot Trail. Very knowledgeable and beautiful scenery. The owner even bought everyone ice cream. Just a drive in the countryside though so a bit boring.

Beautiful experience - We had a great guide who gave us a lot of information about Nova Scotia and specifically about Cape Breton. We were traveling in a smaller group, which was also positive. Only where we took our break took some getting used to. Somewhere, just a cafe/restaurant and a cable car. Since we only had 11/2 hours available, the ride in the cable car for just under 100 dollars was too expensive.

Beware of weather - Check weather ahead of time If the weather is going to be raining or foggy cancel roads can be hazardous. With the fog you saw nothing which is not our tour guide’s fault.

Not great - The fall colors were stunning but the tour itself was not very informative or interesting. Stopped at a horrible place for lunch. My recommendation would be to rent a car yourself.

No longer with Viator - The specified group size of a maximum of 14 people has been doubled. As a result, the stops took longer and fewer stops were made. Overall, we haven't seen as much as smaller groups.

Disappointment with performance - We had booked a tour of the Cabot Trail in a minibus with many stops. Unfortunately it was said at the beginning of the journey that the bus was not available and we got a large bus with almost 40 people. Unfortunately, he could only make a few stops, so the ride was not what we had in mind. Most participants were not enthusiastic about this change. In addition, it took the bus driver half an hour to turn down the heat. In addition, with 90 minutes there was a very long lunch break at a not really attractive location. We would not choose the Canadian provider again.
