Our tour guide, Luc, created a safe and inclusive experience for everyone in the group. Cape Breton Highlands National Park and hiking the Skyline Trail were highlights for me -- and the town of Baddeck was especially charming. Bookended with Halifax and Charlottetown, this trip appeals to both urban and rural preferences. I was one of the younger people on this trip (ages ranged from 38-80), but I learned so much about global travel from my more seasoned companions. I'm ready to book another trip with Intrepid!
