The Cabot Trail Discovery Tour explores Nova Scotia’s most iconic road trip. From the rugged coastlines and majestic mountains to the charming small fishing villages, this tour provides breathtaking viewpoints, endless photo opportunities, and local culinary experiences. We follow the coastline as we climb and descend mountains and traverse the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Picturesque examples of typical Nova Scotian fishing villages dot the Cabot Trail’s winding roads. Hear the crash of the ocean against the craggy stone shorelines, feel the sand between your toes, and smell the salt air at the many coastal stops along the 300-kilometre journey.

We took this while on a cruise in 2019. I am late writing this review. 6 of us signed up to share a van. The couple who own and run this were delightful. very informative, and accomodating. We covered several of the highlights aroudn town and further out which was what we wanted. They took numerous photos which was very thoughtful. In regards to the photos I would recommend working a bit on photo composition e.g. don't place the subjecs directly in line with the main sight which then blocks that view so just becomes yet one more photo of people rather than a memory of that particular location.

We booked a three hour tour and paid the deposit in advance. On day of tour scheduled for 1pm a driver came at 9am. We were not there. They realized our tour was 1pm and came back, but not in the location given on our instructions. We waited in the rain and no one showed. We called two different phone numbers and only got a recording. After 30 minutes and talking to several people in the area (that never heard of Van Tours of Nova Scotia) we finally got the driver - with a bad attitude - to show up. He only wanted to say it wasn’t his fault and he wasn’t going to apologize for the delay. He was a hired driver (not an employee of Van Tours of Nova Scotia) and therefore not responsible for the mix up. His attitude made the four of us decide we didn’t want to spend any time listening to him or even in the same small taxi. We got out and left - wet and upset. Van Tours of Nova Scotia would not give us our deposit back. Back on our ship we found other people booked similar tours with other companies for a much lower price.

We loved every part of our tour. Lilah was an amazing guide and helped us make the most of our time at each winery we visited. Having a private tour as a couple was a huge bonus and was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed tasting many different wines and will definitely be back.
