Great history with cinematic views - The Fortress of Louisbourg was amazing! The tour was very informative and brought history to life. The guides in costume made it fun and engaging. A must-visit for anyone who loves history and culture! The tour guide was too friendly with their customers and their way of talking is also so understandable

Great experience - Had an amazing time visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg with Sydcoast Cruize Tours! The tour was well-organized and super informative. It felt like stepping back into the 1700s—costumed guides, cannon demos, old-style bakeries, and beautiful ocean views from the ramparts.
Our guide made the history come alive and took care of everything. Definitely a highlight of our Cape Breton trip. Highly recommend
