“The Best of Nova Scotia including Cape Breton”
My Guests are looking to explore more, staying longer and want to travel to see as much as possible. They don't want to be packed on a bus with 30 or 40 other strangers. They want a Private Guide & Driver that knows the area(s) and can travel with the flexibility to stop longer, stop more often or veer off the planned itinerary if the desire arises. My small group tours are personal for just you and your group of max 5 persons with my vehicle and can arrange for larger transport of up to 12 persons.
The Customized Touring has really grown for me the past couple years. I have planned longer day itineraries to overnight 3 - 10 days to even longer seventeen day itineraries.
What has been asked for is a small group tour with an itinerary to give a balance or sights and travel. Guests input tell us they want to see the most popular areas relative to Halifax and Cape Breton (Cabot Trail).
