Private tour to end the season. - Very nice tour of the area. We went around the city and out to a lighthouse. It was just my husband and I. Feel like we saw a lot for a place where there is not much to see. I recommend.

A lovely tour of Sydney and Cape Breton sites - We had a great time on our local tour of Sydney and Cape Breton. Hinay, our guide, was very good with lots of local knowledge of the area. Booking the excursion was easy and the company communicated confirmation and pick up times. The driver called the day before to confirm. All the communication was clear. I highly recommend this for a great overview of Sydney sites.

Great tour in Sydney - JD was great and reached out to us to work with our schedule. My only complaint, and it is a Viator issue, is that we could not specify a pick up time when trying to book online.

Excellent private tour - The guide was informative and helpful. The tour worked well with our brief cruise stop in Sydney. We saw and learned a lot of information about the history and sites in the Sydney area. This tour far surpassed our expectations!

Sydney Nova Scotia is a beautiful place! - Beautiful drive along the coast and to see the light house! Wish we could have seen more of the area! It would have been nice if there was some local music being played in port while our ship was there!

Great fun with new friends. - My wife and I went on this tour thinking we were going on a private tour of Cape Breton Island. Instead we were joined by two couples which we enjoyed very much.. Our tour guide, JD, brought us to a number of scenic locations on the island while telling us some history of the island and the indigenous people. He took us to an Irish pub where we had lunch and made some new friends. Very nice indeed.

Tour spoiled by small vehicle - Our driver, 'Tiny' :), was knowledgeable and gave a nice tour however, the car was a Toyota Highlander. It's advertised to seat 7 passengers but if you've ever been in one, the 3rd row is for children, not adults, and certainly not senior adults. We had 6 senior adults. Climbing in and out was hard and ride was uncomfortable. At each stop, we looked like sausages popping out of a tin can! Maximum passengers should have been 3-4 at most. Wish I could give a better rating but TripAdvisor was aware of reservation details and still booked an inappropriate vehicle.
