FredZiffle Posted August 17, 2018 #26 Share Posted August 17, 2018 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. I would think that this would be one of those tours where you are paying for the transportation, not for an actual tour. The drive to Baddeck is beautiful, but I can't imagine that a guide would have much to tell you along the way. The Bell Museum requires no guide, so I would bet they drop you at the door and tell you when to get back on the bus. You will save quite a bit by renting a car and driving yourself. Besides saving money, you'll be able to stay at the museum as long as you want. While the museum was okay in my eyes, I was ready to move on after about an hour. Also, there are numerous photo ops along the drive to Baddeck which you'll miss out on if you're on a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted August 17, 2018 #27 Share Posted August 17, 2018 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.

sprockie Posted August 18, 2018 #30 Share Posted August 18, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
