Sydney, Nova Scotia

kccrzr, it would be great if you could report back on your experience with Budget as I have read no reviews. Have a wonderful day.

Not the Op, but we used Budget in Sydney with no problems. They picked us up and returned us to the port afterwards.

Are there any tour companies in Sydney that do tours of Baddeck and the Bell Museum.

 

We rented a car and drove to Cabot trail. Didn't have a time to spend in National Park itself only went to entrance in Ingonish, but drive is interesting by itself.

Some signs are in Gaelic

Tatka thanks for posting photos!

You are very welcome! It was such an enjoyable day.

Photos don’t do justice. :)

We went in early May and rented a car from Enterprise (highly recommended) and drove to Glace Bay to the Miner's Museum, then went and bought lobster at the dock, they boiled it for us and we devoured a lobster that was just hours ago walking along the ocean floor. It was delightful. I can't say enough good about the Miner's Museum and the retired miners that do the tours. Wonderful experience.

If anyone is interested in Fort Louisbourg , I received this information from them for the 2019 season:

Thank you for your interest in the Fortress of Louisbourg NHS.  Just to let you know that for the 2019 visitor season our Peak Season will end September 14, 2019 so upon your arrival you will still be in our Peak Season.  This means that our summer programs will be the same till mid September.  Our costumed staff will be available as well.  If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.  Thanks

That is very good news about Louisbourg.

Thanks for this information!  We'll be there on September 7, and it looked from their 2018 schedule that this would still be "Peak Season" in 2019, but it's good to have this early confirmation.
