Seemed like a good idea but don't kid yourself: there's no way to really see Cabot Trail in this time frame

We had stopped in Sydney as part of a cruise, and had arranged this "mini-Cabot" excursion independently because it seemed like a good idea for our group of extended family. First of all, the staff and service were fine... no real complaints. They were responsive and prompt. The problem is that this is really just a long taxi ride. Our main stops were a few roadside viewpoints, a bathroom at the local cultural college (which was mildly interesting, tbh), a chocolate shop, and a bakery. We had hoped to see more of the Cabot Trail, but there's really no way to appreciate the Cabot Trail in such a short time frame. It did pique my interest into maybe coming back and exploring this region and the full Cabot Trail on my own. But just don't be duped into thinking that you'll see much on a 4-hr out-and-back drive.
Our guide had very little...

Our guide had very little information and we could not hear anything he said. We learned nothing about the area. Worst private tour we’ve ever taken.
