5.00We had a wonderful day on the Cabot Trail with Arrie. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of local history and stories. He also took us to some great local spots, including a chocolate shop, bakery, and glass artisan studio, which made the experience even more special. The scenery was breathtaking, and the tour was well organized.

4.00We loved seeing all the beautiful scenery and wonderful views on this tour. I would have rated it a 5 if we had come during the fall and were able to see all the fall colors. There were only two couples on the tour and we traveled by jeep. Three of us in the back seat made it a little uncomfortable at times and at 75 it was a little difficult getting in and out of the vehicle. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch stop was amazing.
Awesome small group tour!

Great tour!

5.00We did the Cabot Trail tour with Highland Tours and had a great time. Even though a lot of spots were closed for the season, the views were still incredible and totally made the trip worth it. The stop at the chocolate shop was a highlight—definitely a must-visit. Having a guide made everything so much easier. Highly recommend!
