Do Not Book This Tour!

1.00DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR! When we got to the port, no one showed up. We called and no answer. We have requested a refund and they are investigating. It was actually cheaper to go on a tour with a company outside the ship.
Great tour and a great guide

5.00The drive to and from the fort was beautiful and our tour guide Jack was very knowledgeable about the area and very much a great historian. It wouldn't have been the same without Jack. He made sure we had everything we need plus some. Let me be clear, Jack from the taxi (City Taxi I believe) made this whole experience. The only thing I would like improved would be the tickets that we received for the tour did not include the time of the tour, duration or pick up location and that would have definitely been helpful.

5.00We really appreciate Viator working with the provider to hook us up with Ami for this tour. We had a great time at Fort Louisbourg and the lighthouse. Ami was very friendly and full of historical and local knowledge. It was a great experience for us.
I could have just taken a taxi!

2.00Very disappointing. The drive basically picked us up drove us to the site and said he would pick us up in 1 hour. He did pay for the tickets, but it would have been nice to have an actual tour with some information. I could have hired a cab to take me there and bought my own ticket.
Private tour with flexibility

5.00We had a private taxi. Met at port earlier than expected and given a tour of Sydney as well as being taken to the fort. Great not to be herded in a coach. We could have had as long as we wanted. Fort is spectacular and looks lovely in good weather. Afterwards a tour of Sydney again taking us to areas don’t normally see. Great guide. Didn’t go to mira but drive over river but that was our choice
