Cabot Trail: Green Cove Excursion From Port Of Sydney Cape Breton

The journey was very nice but it would have been better to be in a bigger car: minivan to have more space and to be more confortable.

Good experience. Great value.

This was a wonderful tour. We were picked up right at the dock. The vehicle only held seven people max. We only had six, which made it a nice intimate group. Our driver/tour guide, Gary, was very informative. He took us places that we would not have seen otherwise, stopped anytime we asked them to, and provided an absolutely stunning tour. We took the tour to see the vibrant colors of autumn. Gary made sure that we had plenty of time to visit the sites and take pictures. At this time of the year it was a stunning sight We highly recommend this tour and the small company that provided it.

The tour was very good, except the vehicle was too small for the number of people - there were 6 plus the driver in an SUV for a 5 or 6 hour tour. Not very comfortable (stuffed in like sardines) and visibility limited.

some interesting sights but a lot of driving and not always the right amount of time at some places. The driver was Indian - a little hard to understand at times.

We were 2 of 6 passengers in a comfortably-sized vehicle. So, the risk is, it's an intimate space to be with people you don't know, BUT, you end up getting to know each other, and it was a pleasant experience for us. That said, someone did have bad breath, and it was a bit of a shock when we first got into the car for me. As for the experience on the Cabot Trail, it was STUNNING, and our guide took us to AMAZING locations and our pictures and encounters were more breathtaking than I'd even anticipated! I am VERY thankful we chose to do this for our day at port!

Our tour guide was very friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable of the area-we enjoyed it tremendously, would recommend

The countryside is absolutely stunning. Our guide was extremely informative and helpful. Maybe a little too long in between stops.

Lovely scenery and natural beauty. Our guide was great and showed us beautiful places. Would definitely recommend

We enjoyed the tour. At times it was hard to understand the tour guide because of his accent. He was polite and accommodating.

We had a problem with the tour company that we had booked with originally. They failed to pick us up but the person at our motel was able to provide us another option. I’m so glad we were able to connect with them on such short notice

Great communication before the tour. Comfortable vehicle and a courteous and knowledgeable guide. It was a rainy day, but we still had a good time!

City Hearts Tours should be ashamed- putting 6 adults plus the driver in a minivan for a 6 hour day! Our guide Muhammad, was friendly, a good driver, and caring! We had a few stops on the way at viewing areas, lunch at a nice restaurant but on the return to the ship it was a non stop forced march.

The whole experience was amazing as our guide was very nice and polite.

City Heart Tours gave us an amazing introduction to Cape Breton. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and every stop was breathtaking. Highly recommend if you want an authentic, stress-free local tour

local tour guide and the heart behind City Heart Tours in beautiful Sydney, Nova Scotia! With a deep passion for storytelling and a love for this charming coastal town I’ll share with you not just the sights, but the soul of the city—its people, culture, and hidden corners. Tours are relaxed, friendly, and full of authentic local insight. Come as a guest, leave as a friend. Let’s make your time in Cape Breton unforgettable—one story and one heartwarming moment at a time.. Driver is very professional and polite. He makes our journey stress free.

Our guide Ahmed was very informative. He answered all of our questions and left it up to us to decide which stops to omit. If we stopped everywhere we would not have made it back to the ship on time. The best two scenic stops were the last two. We skipped the shopping, saw all the scenic stops and had a wonderful lobster roll for lunch. There were two others on our tour and luckily we all agreed on everything. It was a lovely day, weather was terrific and overlooks were beautiful. A lot of car time but that couldn’t be avoided.

Nice long tour to see a good portion of the Cabot Trail. Our tour guide was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the tour company was communicative and provided information about where to meet the guide. The bus was comfortable and convenient, and we saw many of the highlights we were hoping to see. Lunch is not included but we stopped at a casual but nice restaurant along the way that was recommended by the tour guide ("Main Street Restaurant" in Ingonish Beach), and I think they knew we were coming as they were quick and prepared for our group (there were about 22 of us on the tour). They had great local food. The tour itself stopped at many of the highlights we were hoping to see. Ingonish Beach and the Green Cove Trailhead were especially cool. The tour guide had a ton of history to share and was personal and friendly. We'd definitely recommend this tour to others!

Kulveen did an excellent job of showing Cabot Trail and the sites. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate because of the fog but eventually we got great pictures. Thank you. Would highly recommend this tour.

A small group experience was worth the $. This is a special once in a lifetime drive of beauty and you want the intimate experience with flexibility of a small group to take photos and take it all in.

This is our first time in Sydney, NC. Our tour guide is Jassinder Singh (Jesse) who is a dedicated guide and driver. Our family enjoyed the sight and scenery-seeing trip up Cabot trail and appreciated Jesse’s patience and effort on the job. Being relatively new to the island, Jesse can definitely grow in his narration of the sights and places that we visited along the trail. At those look out points he was more of a driver and picture taking assistant than a tour guide currently. Another point of improvement is his driving habits in general; we observed him fighting sleepiness along the windy road, tailgating a few cars in front and occasionally replying to texts/phone messages while driving. Safe driving habits can be improved for future guests who would otherwise enjoy his overall charm and helpfulness.

It was great experience. The trip was organised well from start to end. Met good people. Valuable experience

Had an amazing experience traveling with this company. Everything was well organized, and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Experience! Had a wonderful time exploring the Cabot Trail, Ingonish Beach, and Green Cove. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning coastal views and beautiful landscapes throughout the trip. The stops were well chosen and provided plenty of opportunities for photos and sightseeing. A perfect tour for anyone wanting to experience the natural beauty of Cape Breton. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing experience with our tour guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable. Highly recommended.

It was an excellent tour of amazing scenic view points of mountain and ocean

The dialect of the tour guide was difficult to understand. While he was very pleasant and accommodating, it was not a good experience. We cut it short. I believe all Heart Tour guides are from a different culture - not Nova Scotia locals.

Our driver was a bit difficult to understand as he had the accent of his native India. Although him to be engaging and knowledge of the most wonderful sights. The places that he had for a lunch and snack spot were not open for the season. I thought he should have known this ahead of time. I would recommend this tour

We had a great tour with Jas. The weather was sunny and windy. He is very accommodating to what we want to do. Thank you.

This company canceled the tour as we disembark from the cruise ship. We were literally supposed to be getting on the bus when they first notified us. Many of us don’t really have good Wi-Fi on a ship setting so it was especially confusing as they issued a refund, but we had not asked for one. We were able to book something with another local tour. Needless to say myself, and the people who had been booked were very disappointed.

We were left stranded at the meeting point. We arrived to the meeting point early - the tour did not show up. After the meeting time, we finally got a message that they canceled. Apparently they had difficulty with a government inspection, that all the other tours made it through in time to pick up their clients.

They didn't show up. Was told by another tour guide they weren't coming. Booked with him. Refund email showed up after arriving for excursion.

I had a wonderful time riding along the Cabot Trail. I was the only on on the tour that day so I had a personalized visit with a great guide who stopped at every single view point and patiently waited for me to take my pictures. Some of the shops were closed as it was the end of the season but I was able to visit some of them. Overall it was a great experience, landscapes were absolutely stunning!

Amazing,and Amazing cabot trail tour , with all awesome stops with awesome guide ,thanks a lot KV to make this all with in time ..

Fall colors on this trail was absolutely breathtaking! Our diver was prompt waiting for us dockside and was flexible for us to enjoy! We never worried about being on time for our scheduled departure of our cruise ship!

Wonderful private tour. KV was our guide, and he was great! He was intent on showing us the best places and most beautiful scenic views! My husband and I were the only ones on the tour, so we could see so much more than a normal tour. Highly recommend!

Visiting this beach and trail was an unforgettable experience! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — crystal-clear water, soft golden sand, and lush greenery along the trail. The walking path was well-maintained and offered stunning ocean views at every turn. I loved how peaceful and clean the area was, making it perfect for relaxation or photography. The gentle breeze and sound of waves created such a calming atmosphere. It’s ideal for both adventure seekers and those looking to unwind. I especially appreciated the easy access and friendly locals. Truly a hidden gem — I can’t wait to visit again!

I had an amazing experience with City Heart Tours on the Cabot Trail, Ingonish Beach & Green Cove Adventure! The views were breathtaking — especially at Ingonish Beach and Green Cove — and the whole trip was very well-paced. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day fun and comfortable.

Our tour guide Kulveer was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our interaction and the sights were amazing.

Overall a pleasant experience and beautiful scenery. The car was able to seat 4 average sized passengers. Had adequate time at stops. Minimal history provided but driver was pleasant, tried to answer all our questions.

Our day exploring the Cabot Trail with City Heart Tours was nothing short of unforgettable. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, well-planned stops, and insightful guiding made this adventure one of the highlights of our Cape Breton visit.

Our guide did a great job. He helped us to have the best day possible coming from our cruise. If you are considering this it is well worth it and they will make sure that you are back on time. The sights are amazing!

Very good tour with alot of scenic views and drives never seen some of the scenes like that enjoyed the day well love this part of canada too beautiful to watch must visit this place

“The Cabot Trail tour was amazing from start to finish. Our guide went above and beyond—sharing history, culture, and fun local insights that brought the area to life. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and perfectly paced. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Breton.”

I had an amazing experience touring the Cabot Trail! The guide made the journey truly memorable with great knowledge, friendly personality, and perfect pacing of the trip. We stopped at beautiful places including Englishtown, the stunning Keltic Lodge, and the breathtaking Green Cove Trail. Each stop was well explained, and I learned so much about the history and culture of the area while enjoying the natural beauty.

Picked up on time at the ship and brought back again. Small group and great friendly driver.
