Successful trip with Highland tours!! - Wonderful Cabot Trail Experience with Arrie! We recently had an amazing tour of the Cabot Trail with our guide, Arrie. We initially thought it would be a hiking trip, but it turned out to be a scenic road tour — and what a pleasant surprise it was! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and Arrie made every stop worthwhile. Ingonish Beach was especially beautiful, and the visit to the chocolate factory was one of the sweetest highlights of the day. Arrie was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the local area, and shared so many interesting facts along the way. His recommendations for local food spots were spot on — we enjoyed every bite! Overall, it was a wonderful trip, perfectly paced and filled with great experiences. Highly recommend Arrie if you’re planning to explore the Cabot Trail!

Sydney Cabot Trail - The trip was well guided. Our guide was very knowledgeable and well spoken, friendly, and looked after us. He also made adjustments to the trip to accommodate the group’s wishes.

Best shore excursion from Port Sydney, Nova Scotia - Loved this shore excursion from Port Sydney. We got to see the seal island bridge and the gorgeous fall colors on the famous Cabot trail. Bipin, the guide, stopped at the best viewpoints, and navigated the route to avoid the morning crowds on the ferry. He took us on the ferry in the afternoon, after a lovely seafood lunch at the Main Street diner. Bipin also gave us a good history of the area while showing the beautiful Ingonish beach, Keltic lodge at the highlands, closed steel factory. Overall, a lovely visit to Cape Breton.

A Perfect Last-Minute Adventure! - We missed the chance to pre-book a private tour, but Highland Tours, conveniently available right at the Port of Sydney, truly saved our day! We joined their tour to the Cabot Trail and were blown away by the stunning scenery and breathtaking views throughout the journey. It turned out to be one of the best spontaneous decisions of our trip—comfortable ride, great service, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend Highland Tours for anyone visiting Cape Breton, even if you’re booking last minute!

First of all, let me say... - First of all, let me say that Sydney, Nova Scotia was one of the most beautiful places we have been on this trip. The fall colors were at peak, the weather has been perfect, and the sights were stunning! Regarding our tour with BIPPIN, we were not overwhelmed. There was no one with a sign meeting us when we disembarked the ship so we had to search for our driver, then were told that our driver (Bippin) was not a full-time guide and was just helping out a friend. He was a very friendly, but did not talk very much throughout the tour, except to the person sitting next to him in the front seat. The rest of us could not hear a thing he was saying. The air conditioning on the van did not work and we had to crack the windows to keep from burning up. When it came time for lunch, he told us he had a reservation then when we arrived at the restaurant, he told us they do not take reservations and gave us 30 minutes to eat. His driving was very reckless and fast. He was well over the speed limit on many occasions and still did not get us back to the ship at our scheduled time. Bottom line, Sydney was one of our favorite stops but we would not recommend this tour operator (Highland Tours) or Bippin.
