5.00Most beautiful scenery and best tour guide of all our excursions! Highland village setting is extraordinary. Baddeck was a good stop for lunch and the Alexander Graham Bell museum was very interesting. We had additional smaller stops that the big buses don’t do that added to the day!
Mediocre for veteran cruisers.

3.00Tour guide was just OK. Discussed political and personal beliefs a bit too much. Baddeck village was just OK also. If you have been on many cruise tours I would say this is not worth it. OK for newbies.
Nice Ride
