Pickup details

Your Guide will meet you next to The Big Fiddle at the Sydney Cruise port and will be wearing a Cape Breton Backcountry Adventures logo. The Big Fiddle is a very large fiddle/violin (instrument) monument at the main port. It is hard to miss, but if you ask anyone who works there for directions, they will be able to assist you. This is a private tour, your guide will not leave without you.
