5.00Great tour and great tour guide. Mike Syms was an amazing guide. He went out of his way to help us feel the full experience of Cape Breton/Sydney. The Highland Village was great to see. The people there spoke in Gaelic and English and helped us feel as if we were going back in time to really understand and feel what their ancestors went through to come to Nova Scotia. We had pizza with Mike, learned more about Alexander Graham Bell and his many inventions besides the telephone, and had a great tour. I highly recommend Mike and his company, Blackwood Tours. You won’t go wrong with them.

Not what we had hoped for

3.00The Bell Museum was very I treating but not enough time there. The highland Village was disappointing—maybe because it was late in the season but only 3 people in costumes. Not much activity. There is nothing in Beddeck except a couple of small cafes and we weren’t interested in eating. Don’t understand the attraction to this town. Time would have been better spent at the museum.
Saw so Much

5.00This tour covered such a variety of experiences without feeling rushed. Our guide and driver Bob was very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate the wishes of our small group of 3 couples. Since we were all interested in seeing more and not spending as much time eating at sit down restaurants, we were able to pick up food to eat and spend more time visiting the historical village and Bell museum. This tour was my best tour on my two week cruise although I did not book it with the cruiseline.
