What a Shame. Bob, from Blackwood Tours (our tour guide) was wonderful and deserves 5 Stars....however, since the tour bus was ungodly hot, with malfunctioning Air Conditioning - we can only give this tour 4 stars. We hit all the spots in Sydney that we wanted to hit. The mini-ferry was cool, the Cabot Trail reminded me on the Pacific Coast highway...but over here - so An Atlantic Coast Highway. Beware though, depending on the weather, the leaves might not change fast enough if autumn is delayed. That is, if you are coming to Canada for Fall Coloring - you should maybe wait until October. The week we were here (Sept 16 to Sept 20) was high 80's to high 90's- Fahrenheit. More like a Caribbean cruise, than what we thought a Canada cruise would be.
Awesome Cabot Trail Tour

What an awesome tour! Beautiful scenery along the coast with great views of the ocean, beaches and mountains. Bob, our guide was knowledgeable, informative and very accommodating. The route and stops were given thought to avoid crowds. Our tour was just 2 couples and a comfortable van. This was the best guided tour on our vacation thanks to Bob and Blackwood.
Underwhelming

Everything is based on one’s anecdotal experiences and preferences in a non-pretentious manner(can’t really satisfy the arrogant, self absorbed, selfish amongst us) but the experience was lacking in regard to scenery with a lot of driving with limited stops. The ferry crossing was nice but brief. Frank is a nice guy sharing his knowledge of the area as a native. Expensive for a underwhelming experience( it was much less than booking via the cruise).
