Great tour , great tour guide - highly recommended !

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our day with Michael Syms as our tour guide/driver . During our visit to The Alexander Graeme Bell museum , Baddeck and the Cabot Trail area, Michael -a proud Cape Bretoner - provided an informative commentary ( as well as some jokes and anecdotes ) also taking us to a few special places along the way for photo opportunities . His knowledge of the area was a highlight for us . Arvinder, who we booked through was a great communicator and considering there were 2 cruise ships in on the day we were fortunate to book with Highland Tours, which has taken over Blackwood Tours , and to have Michael as our tour guide . Heyboy, howshegoin!

Operator response

We are pleased you enjoyed your experience with us and will make sure your compliments get passed on to Michael. Thank you!

We had a fabulous tour of Cape Breton

We have just finished a private tour of part of the Cabot trail, Alexander, Graham, Bell Museum, and Badeck. Michael Syms was an excellent guide. He went above and beyond taking us to places we particularly wanted to see, but also showing us some of the other fascinating parts of Cape Breton Island. Nothing was too much trouble. Michael obviously loved Cape Brenton. knew the area well, was funny and told us many interesting things about the history and geography of the area. The owner Arvinder Singh communicated well and responded promptly to questions .We would strongly recommend this company

Operator response
