Why take this tour?

Your tour begins with your local friendly guide picking you up from your hotel in downtown Sydney in one of our complimentary vehicles. You will then enjoy a narrated drive to the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. Here you will receive a guided tour of the fortress which operates as a living history museum. This site is significant for its role in the Anglo-French struggle for what is modern-day Canada.

After your Louisbourg visit, you will head out on a scenic drive into the Cape Breton Highlands as you make your way to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck. Here you will have free time to explore the incredible exhibits which feature artifacts that were donated from the Bell family’s personal estate.

You will then make your way back towards Sydney for a narrated, in-depth drive through the city. Here you will pass by multiple points of interest, including the Cossit House Museum, The Big Fiddle, the Jost Heritage House and St. Patrick’s Church. 

Once your amazing tour has come to a close, your guide will safely bring you back to your hotel in downtown Sydney.
