Cape Breton Island’s most famous resident, Alexander Graham Bell,
once said, “I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the
Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands
of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.” Scottish
traditions and Gaelic folklore come alive on this delightful five-day
tour.

1: Arrive Halifax |
| Arrive in Halifax and check in
at the Citadel Halifax Hotel for the night. Your vacation begins
at a hotel that is ideally located in the downtown core. |
| DAY
2: Halifax – Baddeck |
| Depart from Halifax on scheduled
transportation to New Glasgow where you will meet your Tour Director
and board your touring coach. Then proceed to Cape Breton Island
- “the Scotland of North America.” Visit the Alexander
Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck to marvel at the
many accomplishments of this genius. Spend two nights at the charming

| DAY
3: Cabot Trail touring |
| (If you prefer not to join
us on this day-tour, enjoy a free day at leisure or perhaps play
a local
golf course.) You’re off to experience one of the prettiest
drives in North America, the Cabot Trail. Cape Breton Highlands
National Park is next, as you wind along this ribbon of highway
where the mountains meet the sea. The vistas abound as you travel
over the flat-topped mountains. In Pleasant Bay, enjoy a whale
watching boat tour (weather permitting). Tonight there is a “Farewell” dinner.
(Breakfast, Picnic Lunch, Dinner) |

DAY 4: Baddeck – Halifax |
| The Fortress of Louisbourg National
Historic Site awaits you. This reconstruction recreates one-fifth
of the town of 1744 - words will not do justice to the scope of
this tribute to New France. Roam the streets talking with some
of the costumed guides who remain in character, or sample the sustenance
of the era. Your tour continues along the shores of Bras d’Or
to the mainland. The last night is at the Citadel Halifax Hotel.
