Booked a private tour with Blackwood Tours for a Mini Cabot Trail tour. The process of planning the day, pick up and payment was made easy thanks to Robert and his great customer service. Our tour guide/driver Michael made our experience unforgettable with his great personality and knowledge of Cape Breton. Truly a fantastic experience. Thanks guys!

So let's face it. Mike from Blackwood Tours made this the best tour. We came in off a cruise ship and wanted to see both the Highland Village AND the Bell Museum but none of their tour packages offered both. But Blackwood Tours did with a stop in the beautiful town of Baddeck for a lunch thrown in. We met Mike right off the ship waiting in his bright red shirt without a problem and were headed out 15 minutes early from our scheduled departure. Mike was a tremendous wealth of information about live on Cape Breton and I was amazed at the amount of information and the energy he provided us for the next 7 hours. He was a lot of fun, answered all of our questions and even allowed us to chirp in every now and then with our own funny lines and stories. He was truly a proud Cape Breton and you could tell that in all the cultureand history he shared with us of the island. Both the Highland Village as well as the Bell Museum were so worth seeing. We were pretty fortunate to have booked this particular tour and at the end of the day were quite pleased that we had. Trust me, you will be too! At the end of our tour we told Mike that there are only a handful of tour guides that through the years we will NEVER forget nor the area that we visited because of them. Mike will forever be one of those tour guides. Thanks for the visit Mike!

The scheduled destinations were very nice. Our driver, Bob was great. I would have preferred spending more time at the village and museum and skipping the trinket shopping stop. At dinner, when comparing excursions with others around us, everyone thought ours sounded much better than the other excursions they went on in Sydney.
