Excellent tour and excellent tour guide. “Jack” was knowledgeable and eager to show us the beauty of Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail. Many photo ops and interesting highlights (chocolate store was a favourite). Would highly recommend.

If you are looking for a tour of the Cabot Trail, book with Highland Tours. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. We had a fun day. Highly recommend Highland Tours!

Interesting tour! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable. One of my family members has mobility issues, but everything was handled perfectly, and they were well accommodated throughout the tour. We really appreciated the care and attention given to ensure everyone had a great experience.

We had a great 6–7 hour Cabot Trail tour with Arrie. Even though it was rainy and some lookoffs were not clear because of fog, he made the day enjoyable and even showed us photos so we could see what we were missing. He was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting information about the area. The vehicle was comfortable, and we had a nice lunch stop along with a few local shop visits. A highlight of the tour was spotting seals along the coast.

Booked this through Tripadvisor after looking at a few options. It seemed like one of only a few options for excursions from our cruise that was stopping in for the day. The Pickup The operator was at the designated area for pickup and our name was on a whiteboard so that was good. It seemed a little disorganized after that, the man holding the whiteboard didn't know which tour we had booked and we were initially directed to a small bus. After talking to the other on the bus we realized that the others on this bus were on a different tour. It took us 5-10 minutes to figure out the correct bus. The Van Once we were on the right vehicle it was a little cramped. It was a 12 passenger van and every seat was occupied. This is fine, but I guess I expected to be on a larger bus with a window view. It was a little hard to see things from the middle seat of a van. The van was also pretty old, the suspension seemed a little stiff for the type and length of tour and some of the bumps were pretty hard from the back seat. The Driver Our driver was nice enough, it sounded like he had been contracted to drive our van from another company. He didn't have an itinerary or anything of where we were supposed to go. We basically showed him a list of places that were on the booking and he did his best. He was knowledgably about the area and provided some interesting commentary on the drive. Overview I would recommend to book with a different company or through the cruise directly if you are on a cruise. The people operating this tour didn't seem organized and were kind of operating in a minimum possible capacity to what they were obligated. The sites were nice but I am not sure they are worth the 4-5 hour drive it takes to see them. That doesn't reflect the operator, it's my opinion of the tour itself.

We travelled with Arrie on June 13th 2026. We had a great experience, spectacular view and well planned trip. Unfortunately it was raining the whole day, however it did not stop us from enjoying the spectacular views. Arrie was very calm and comes with a lot of knowledge of the place. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Our tour guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and were pleasant to spend the day with. We felt satisfied with the schedule, price, and the experience was great for my wife, and aunt who has a walking disability. A great morning/afternoon out!

We had a wonderful day on the Cabot Trail with Arrie. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of local history and stories. He also took us to some great local spots, including a chocolate shop, bakery, and glass artisan studio, which made the experience even more special. The scenery was breathtaking, and the tour was well organized.

We loved seeing all the beautiful scenery and wonderful views on this tour. I would have rated it a 5 if we had come during the fall and were able to see all the fall colors. There were only two couples on the tour and we traveled by jeep. Three of us in the back seat made it a little uncomfortable at times and at 75 it was a little difficult getting in and out of the vehicle. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch stop was amazing.

This was amazing tour even though the weather was cold and wet. Our guide, Kulwinder, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. The only thing I would have wished for is sunshine but still so glad we did it.
