Top notch tour of the Bell Museum and Baddeck town - What a gem of a museum! Learned so much more about Alexander Graham Bell than what schoolbooks feature. He was our era's renaissance man with all his ideas and inventions! If you get the chance to visit you won't be disappointed. Husband & I took the tour while other members of our cruise ship went on a ship sponsored excursion and we were glad we chose this tour! Manjeet, out guide, met us at the port with our name on a placard and we had a nice ride through the countryside full of autumn colors.

27 and had a great time! - I went on this tour today. My husband and I had a nice time. It was a nice relaxing bus ride to the museum with beautiful scenic views. If you can sit on an aisle seat, the window seats had limited visibility. The museum was very interesting and offered some beautiful views. We had a great time. Our tour guide and bus driver were so nice and very informative. My only regret is that we didn’t bring cash and we were able to tip them! They were great!! Grateful for my experience and that they helped make this a positive experience for us.

Visit full of astonishing surprises about the history of this corner of the country. - Very interesting the life of this Mr. Bell. Who would have thought that the great inventors of this world met in Nova Scotia. And that Mr. and Mrs. Bell preferred to live in this place which is idyllic, let us remember. Mrs. has done a lot for the community. She was very involved. Very nice, accessible visit. Not to be missed! We have something to be proud of...

Van tour thru Sydney local area and Bell museum. - Very nice tour through the local Sydney area to Bell museum. Van driver was friendly and knowledgeable. I had messed up on the time our cruise ship docked when I booked tour, yet we were still able to go and were graciously accommodated.

Baddeck is a beautiful small community and the visit to the AG Bell Museum was very informative - Our guide Manjeet was waiting for us upon disembarking from ship. He provided a brief history of Sydney, Nova Scotia as we were driving from town enroute to Baddeck. He stopped along the way for us as photo opportunities arose. We were given ample opportunity to visit the Alexander G Bell Museum in Baddeck and then enjoyed a nice lunch and brew at a local eatery. If you’re interested in learning more than AG Bell was the inventor of the phone, than I highly recommend this tour.

Museum - Very informative driver. A lot of great information. Perfect drive. Museum was really good. Because it was a taxi, the people in the back could not hear.

Our Private Excursion to Bell Museum - Ammi was an interesting person, after we adapted to his accent. We were disappointed in the museum itself, as there was very little on the phone invention itself. Also, we got stuck in a 30 minute traffic/road construction hold up. We stopped at a couple scenic spots, but was hoping for a bit more.

Unethical business practices and false promises - This company is unethical and not honest. My wife and I plus another couple booked this taxi cab tour for $400/cab plus museum entrance fees. We were told that it would only be four of us for the cab. However, when we met up by the cruise port, we were told two more passengers would be joining us, but our fees were not reduced. At the end of the tour, we contacted the owner (Simon) and he later wrote to us via WhatsApp and agreed to refund CAD$20 per person as a "good will gesture"! It has now been over six weeks and we have not seen any refunds except more messages saying he is checking and will get back to us. I do not believe anyone should book tours through this company because of its false advertising and false promises.
