    5 stops along Cabot Trail. Only 4 of us in a mini van. Several restroom stops, sandwich shop and pullovers to take pictures

  • Beautiful fall colors

    Great tour, tour guide very informative, beautiful fall colors. But, we thought we signed up for 4 hour tour, found out from tour guide it was a 6 hour tour. Made us a little nervous since traveling by cruise ship. Was back in plenty of time.

  • Beware. This is nothing more than a taxi ride.

    Listing: The listing is not accurate. We did not stop at some of the locations. They did not provide water as indicated. There was not clear communication about what time to meet. Tour company: If you can call it a tour company. They are a taxi service that also uses their vehicles for tours. We discovered as leaving the port that they are not licensed to drive the Cabot Trail. The vehicles are very cramped for three people sitting in the bench seats. Tour: The driver/tour guide provided little information along the way. While pleasant, he recently moved to the area and did not have the knowledge I expected on a tour. We almost got into two accidents. The itinerary was not well defined as to how long we would have at each stop although the driver was flexible.

  • Not Worth It

    From our experience, I would say it was not worth it. Driver did not adhere to the itinerary, we sat in the back of the minivan and between the road noise and the drivers accent we couldn’t hear anything. On a positive note, the fall colors were beautiful.

  • Great way to experience the Cabot Trail!

    Driver was there when we got off the ship. We picked up one other couple at a hotel. We had a nice drive on the Cabot trail. Driver was very friendly and drove safe, however if you were in the back it was hard to hear him with the highway noise and accent. We took the ferry and stopped at several lookouts and a few other stops like a chocolate shop and local restaurant. So glad we decided to take this excursion! Definitely just the right amount of time to experience the Cabot trail with time after to see the city, shop and and taste the lobster. I would definitely do it again! Don't hesitate! Worth the money and time! Nice to be more one on one and not a huge tour bus!
