Review Blackwood Tours’ Cape Breton day trip from Sydney, with Highland Village, Baddeck, Bell Museum, ferry views, pricing, and tips.
“This tour covered such a variety of experiences without feeling rushed. Our guide and driver Bob was very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate the wishes of our small group of 3 couples. Since we were all interested in seeing more and not spending as much time eating at sit down restaurants, we were able to pick up food to eat and spend more time visiting the historical village and Bell museum.

Another worker, Sarah, was more helpful and found a couple interesting tidbits on my ancestors.”
Review of the Baddeck and Bell Museum tour from Sydney, with cruise pickup, scenic driving, museum highlights, village time, value, and practical tips.
“The tour operator and Jazz, our driver, greeted us as we disembarked. Jazz was a very kind and safe driver. The van for the 6 of us were in was very cramped and uncomfortable for the three guests who could fit and get into the 3rd row seating. I would suggest only 3-5 guests for comfort, but definitely not 6! The two in rear seat would need to be nimble and navigate getting in the rear seat. It was unfortunate we had 6.
