5.00Our group of 6 really enjoyed the Private Guided tour of the Fortress of Louisburg and the Lighthouse at Louisburg with our guide, Arri. The communication was excellent via emails prior to the tour and Arri met us at our cruise port at the designated time and got us on the road quickly. He narrated our drive with facts about Sydney and New Brunswick, making stops at the Louisburg Lighthouse and Fortress allowing us plenty of time to experience both. We were back at our port well before the ship's departure time. Overall it was a wonderful experience and one that I would highly recommend.
