Cabot trail beauty combined with great information at the Bell Museum

Jesse was excellent guide. Trip was beautiful--started in clouds but ended with blue sky. Bell Museum is a hidden gem.

Tour of Sydney, Nova Scotia with City Heart Tours

Guide met us on time at the cruise port. He gave us the history of Sydney, Nova Scotia as he drove just the 2 of us around the island in a minivan. The weather was not great, drizzly and cold, but we had a very nice tour of Sydney.

Very Nice Tour!

Very nice tour! I picked this tour as a cruise shore excursion to avoid the large group tours. We enjoyed the personal attention of a small group. Our guide Jesse was wonderful! He is friendly and very knowledgable. He kept the entire tour interesting and enjoyable. He loves his job! We loved stopping at the Louisbourg Lighthouse where Jesse captured some fun photos of us. The Louisbourg Fortress was great! It is beautiful with so much history! Highly recommend this tour!!

Would do again!

We had an amazing tour with Kavvy. He took us through about 50% of the Cabot Trail. Thankfully, we went right before peak season. The tour was lovely, Kavvy picked up up right on time from our hotel, and the vehicle was very clean. Kavvy was very knowledgeable about Cape Breton, Sydney, and the history of Nova Scoitia. We would love to come back again and book a tour with City Heart tours.

Great tour with a great guide

Amand was the perfect tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of detailed history even though her has only been living there for 3 years from India. He was very accommodating to our groups needs. The fortress was so much larger than expected and provided a fun experience for the day. We would recommend this tour to others.

Fort, Lighthouse, Bell Museum and Baddock

Bo was an excellent local knowledgeable guide. Liked the combo of the fort, lighthouse, and the Bell Museum. We got to see a lot of the area also, as he was willing to take us off the freeway. It was not rushed and we had plenty of time at each location.

Incredible Cabot Trail Tour! We had the most amazing day on the Cabot Trail with our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew all the best viewpoints and hidden stops.

Two Rivers Wildlife Park Tour

V7352CNlisad, Aug 2026

Fabulous

An incredible place with so much to do and see, or if you prefer to do nothing, that’s an option too. You can sit and read a book while the ducks waddle around your site looking for treats ( which are available at the office ). It was so special to walk the trail and see the animals that wouldn’t have a home if it wasn’t for Two Rivers Wildlife Park. The grounds were spotless, facilities clean and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They took time out to answer your questions whether it be about the activities or the animals. Will we be going back, oh yes, definitely. PS… the best french fries .
