“During our cruise stop in Sydney, Nova Scotia, my husband and another couple joined this tour. Our guide, Jim, provided excellent insights about his hometown. The drive to the Louisbourg Fortress was enjoyable, especially with perfect weather. The fortress itself was a highlight of our trip. We were captivated by the reenactors portraying the French settlers from the mid-1700s. It took us around 2.5 to 3 hours to explore, and we loved every moment. Before our visit, Jim took us to a local bakery for lunch, and we had a pleasant picnic on the fortress lawns. Afterward, Jim highlighted many local attractions, including Havenside with its stunning lighthouse, while sharing stories about Sydney and his upbringing there. We were extremely satisfied with Jim and the tour, especially since it was his first one. Great job, Jim, and thank you for a memorable day!”— 231sandees on the Fortress of Louisbourg guided tour from Cape Breton Island tour
