It was wonderful and our driver was “simply the best” - we would never have gotten the full flavor of Acadia without her - she knows it all and obviously “loves her work” and makes you “fall in love” with Acadia as well - loved hearing you are a multi-generational business as well!
Heather, our tour guide/bus driver, was great! She was personable, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Acadia. She gave a wonderful tour of the park's highlights. Her narration was well-received by all on our tour, and she gave us plenty of time to explore at each stop. We highly recommend this for anyone who would like to experience the beauty of Acadia without worrying about things like reservations for Cadillac Mountain (unless you really want to try to see the sunrise!) and navigating the park by yourself (although it doesn't seem difficult). It was great to hear information you wouldn't otherwise learn about on your own.
Very nice pleasant relaxing experience. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and made everything a good experience.
Excellent tour of Acadia on small tour bus with knowledgeable guide.
Informative and educational. Don't forget to laugh at her corny attempts of humor. Take advantage of the stops.
Very informative tour guide, very detailed with the history, the information, the stops, and the views we saw, would highly recommend to anyone new to Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor, it was me and my Grandmother's first time to both and the tour gave us a good taste of how great it is here.

Our guide was great! He gave us so much information and history of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We visited the most popular spots. He also showed us some less popular spots which were amazing too. I highly recommend this tour if you're not sure where to start.
The guide was very knowledgeable. The history of how the park became a national monument and who participated in this was great. However, there was very little time to hike or explore. I don’t think a tour like this was a good choice.
Kevin was a very good guide. He had great historical commentary and suggestion for further exploration of the island and park. Just a great experience.
We had a terrific guide. She was very knowledgable about the park's history and kept the tour interesting the entire time. We brought food with us, and picnicked on the rocks at Thunder Hole. However, you can purchase food at Jordan's pond if you like. It's the tour's last stop. This is a great tour to take when you first arrive to identify areas of the park that you want to explore further.
