Low Point Lighthouse
Perched on the edge of Cape Breton’s rugged coastline, Low Point Lighthouse (also known as Flat Point Light) is one of Nova Scotia’s most historic and scenic beacons. Built in 1832, it stands as the easternmost lighthouse on Cape Breton Island and has guided countless mariners through the entrance of Sydney Harbour for nearly two centuries. This striking red-and-white octagonal tower offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, rocky shorelines, and passing ships. It’s a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path spot perfect for photography, coastal walks, or simply soaking in the maritime atmosphere.

3.00Very weak guide who did not communicate well or have much to add above the scenery. Sydney is a small town in Nova Scotia and guide had little to say unless we asked questions.
Charming and Educational

3.00Sydney is a small port trying to make it. Our tour was in a taxi with five adult seats and one more for a small child. They tried to squeeze six adults in it. Fortunately complaining put two in another cab. Drove by a few sites, stopped at two quick stops. Got a little history. Then got dumped in town. Check the other tours. Skip this one.
Great short tour

5.00It was a wonderful way to see the sights especially if you’re short on time. Kulveer Singh TD1332 was a wonderful tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the sights. He was extremely personable and friendly. He was a great company which made our tour even better.

3.00There isn’t much to see in Sydney. There are beautiful shorelines & seascapes. Our driver may have needed more rest, didn’t seem as enthusiastic for our tour. Lots of construction around the town/city.

5.00Our Sydney city tour was such a pleasant surprise and a highlight of our trip to Cape Breton Island. The city is full of history, culture, and beautiful scenery. We saw the famous Big Fiddle, visited historic sites, and enjoyed the waterfront views that made for some amazing photos. The tour was comfortable and well-paced, with plenty of chances to explore and ask questions. Our guide really knew the area and shared so many interesting stories about the people, industries, and local life that brought the city’s history to life. From the ocean views to the cultural stops, everything was well planned. It was a fun and informative way to experience Sydney and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Breton Island.
Wonderful Experience

5.00We had a amazing Sydney city tour with Jassi and it was one of the best days of our trip. The lighthouse was beautiful with stunning ocean views all around, and the beach had water so clear you just want to jump in. We also got to see windmills along the way, which made the scenery even more special. The military museum was very interesting with guns and bunkers full of history. Very good short tour to do while you are in Sydney Nova Scotia.Never knew that this small place has too much history to look about , Quite interesting , It was the perfect mix of nature, culture and history. I highly recomend this tour! Suggestions - Do little bit longer to see more things around .... Thanks for a wonderful time Alex Taylor

5.00This tour was an amazing way to explore Sydney and see places I never expected. The highlight for me was visiting the lighthouse and walking along the rocky beach, where the views were absolutely stunning. We also stopped at a volunteering museum that holds so much hidden history—it was both surprising and inspiring to learn about it. The whole experience felt well balanced, with the right mix of sightseeing, storytelling, and time to enjoy each stop. Everything was well organized and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best of Sydney.
