    My wife and I went on this tour thinking we were going on a private tour of Cape Breton Island. Instead we were joined by two couples which we enjoyed very much.. Our tour guide, JD, brought us to a number of scenic locations on the island while telling us some history of the island and the indigenous people. He took us to an Irish pub where we had lunch and made some new friends. Very nice indeed.

    Jax was a wonderful tour guide. He was polite, knowledgeable and intelligent. We did the east side of the Cabot Trail which was very beautiful.

    Great trip with Kulwinder (aka Jack) today to visit the town of Braddeck and the Alexander Graham Bell museum. Beautiful fall colors and scenery. Jack was very pleasant and informative. We had a great time. Thanks

    Because we were there late in the season, most of the costumed staff were gone back to school, but there were still some more mature folks left to show us how things worked back there.

    This "Taxi Tour" was with one driver in a Toyota Corolla. One problem was that we never received the starting time when we booked the tour, and we were on the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Sea, so when we finally called to find out the starting time, we ended up being an hour late because it started at 8:30 am and we were still eating breakfast. Anyway, Rav, the driver guide, was very accommodating and he stopped in many scenic places along the way so we could take pictures. It would have been helpful if he had a head microphone as being in the back seat in a small car, it was sometimes hard to hear him. He took us to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck which took us about 2 hours (A Highlight of our Trip to Cape Breton: he paid for our admission) and returned to pick us up and continue around the Cabot Trail to enjoy the beauty of that island. He took us to a Tim Horton's to get coffee once but we didn't make any lunch stops, so would advise you bring your own snacks if you want to have something to eat along the way. All in all, it was a wonderful day trip but it would have been better to be in a vehicle with larger windows. He did say he was considering that for the future.

    Tom was an excellent guide. He did his best to accommodate the change in departure time (earlier) of our cruise. He was fairly informative.
    It was worth the drive to see the Cabot trail and the fall colours.

    It was a great place for a family to go. Kids enjoyed seeing craftsmen/women doing their trades from the old days. Unfortunately, my mother could not go because she is limited in walking and the trails are all gravel and would not support her wheelchair. She got to see some of the village from the hill where the bus driver dropped us and she got to go inside the very small museum. I think there are plans in the works to make the trail more handicapped friendly in the coming years. Overall, a great day!

    My wife and I were visiting Cape Breton, Nova Scotia for the first time. We had arranged for the tour before we left our home in Maine. The tour was supposed to begin at 8AM in Sydney. We were staying at an inn on the Cabot Trail, about an hour and a half drive from there, which would have made for a VERY early start for us. When my wife inquired whether we could be picked up at our inn, we were told yes, we would be picked up at 11. This really made the tour doable for us, and we were thrilled.

    On the morning of the tour, we were a little anxious that we might have misinterpreted the agreement for the time of pickup (it seemed a little too good to be true!). But, true to their word, our tour guide, Arrie, arrived at the prescribed time. Although the tour was for four people, there was only my wife and me.

    For eight hours, Arrie made Cape Breton come alive. Interwoven with some history of the area, he made sure we saw some of the island's most amazing sights, and there were SO many! Along with the places he had planned, he encouraged us to let him know anytime we wanted to stop to take a longer look or take pictures.

    Midway through the tour, Arrie asked where we might want to have lunch. He asked what kind of food we enjoyed, and then he recommended the Rusty Anchor. The atmosphere was lively and the food was excellent!

    Arrie also pointed out other restaurants and places of interest we might enjoy during our stay on Cape Breton. These included the Main Street Restaurant and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. His recommendations added to our enjoyment of the island beyond the tour itself.

    At the end of the day, we could not have asked for a more enchanting experience. Arrie was knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. We could not have had a more remarkable day nor a more remarkable guide.

    Rahul was an incredible tour guide. We would give him 10 stars. We took the tour from our cruise ship. He met us on time and the car was very clean. He was very friendly and informative. He took us a little of the path to make sure we saw his town as well as seeing what was on the planned tour. The lunch was great and the tram ride to the top of the mountain was spectacular. He took great care to get us back to our ship on time. We would do it again if he was our guide.

    The college was open but none of the activities listed were happening. They had 2 employees working. The campus was a ghost town. They only perform in the summer months. Tour company didn't bother to tell us. Our tour driver was nice but had no idea what the tour entailed. Also it said it had snacks and bottled water...it was his personal car and nothing was provided. What Lotta Adventures sold to us was completely misrepresented.

    The guide and driver were wonderful, with personal stories intermixed with history and pride in Cape Brenton! Got lucky with the fall colors and the did a great job adjusting the schedule and going farther while watching the time so that we were back with plenty of time to get back to the cruise ship

    I am late in writing this review. We were a group of six friends who were on a Royal Caribbean Cruise to New England/Canada this past October. I had reached out to Lotta Adventures when the previous tour I had booked for our group was changed. They were excellent to deal with and responded to all my questions quickly and professionally. We had an excellent tour with our driver/guide. We visited the Louiseburg Lighthouse and walked the scenic trail along the ocean there. Simply stunning scenery. I highly recommend Lotta Adventures. Thank you again. The group from New York.
