Our drivers and guides are all local and highly experienced as we are the tour company in Cape Breton with the longest history(since 1985). Our drivers and guides are all capable of the culture and history of Cape Breton and they will be able to make sure the travelers will gain much more experience than just a day tour.

This shore excursion takes guests to explore the highlights of Cape Breton Island. After leaving the port of Sydney, we travel to the historic Fortress of Louisbourg, one of the largest reconstructed 18th-century French fortresses in North America. Guests enjoy free time to walk the grounds, admire historic buildings, meet costumed interpreters, and learn about the daily life of French soldiers and civilians. We then continue to Baddeck to visit the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, where guests can explore exhibits about Bell’s inventions, including the telephone, aviation, and hydrofoil technology.
