We came in on a cruise ship for the day and had never visited Bar Harbor before. We were a group of 6, ranging in age from 7-79. Carli was very clear and timely with her communications and picked us up very close to where we got off the boat. She did a great job of navigating the area - telling us a lot about the history, the community and the nature. We visited a mix of popular tourist stops on Acadia (based on my research before the trip) and added in a few “hidden gems” on the island as well. Carli had waters for everyone and snack bars that we enjoyed about halfway through the tour. Carli was very pleasant and kind. The area is just beautiful and we definitely have plans to return to the area for a longer visit. Carli made our short visit great!

A Truly Personalized Acadia Experience
We had a wonderful experience with Ralph as our private tour guide in Acadia. From the very beginning, he was personable, engaging, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and what we wanted from our day.
One of the things that made the tour especially memorable was how Ralph connected different parts of his own life and experiences in Maine to the places we visited. Those personal stories added so much depth and made the tour feel like we were experiencing Acadia with someone who truly loves and knows the area.
Ralph never made us feel like we were simply following a set itinerary. He gave us options, asked questions, listened to our interests, and adjusted the day accordingly. It felt truly personalized to our family rather than like a standard tour.
Most importantly, Ralph was incredibly considerate of my dad’s mobility issues. We never felt rushed or pressured to keep up. He was patient, accommodating, and made sure everyone could enjoy the experience comfortably.
We would highly recommend Ralph to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely thoughtful guide. He helped make our time in Acadia special and gave us an experience we’ll remember for a long time.

Great private tour of Acadia
For our first Acadia National Park experience, we wanted a guide to show us the lay of the land and to avoid the chaos of finding parking at the stops. We chose well with Acadia Driving Tours. Nathan was knowledgeable and personable. We appreciated his compassion in accommodating my ankle injury. He customized the tour to allow the best experience possible. We thoroughly enjoyed his flute solo at one of the quiet stops. While we were there we got to watch a local lobster boat unload their catch of the day, six 90 pound totes full of lobsters which was entertaining for us transplanted Arizonans. Loved all the views we experienced and the Thuya Garden. Highly recommend this tour and Nathan. Thanks, Nathan!

Wonderful Acadia Tour with Carli
We had a wonderful tour of Acadia National Park with Carli. She was very knowledgeable, informative, and easy to talk with throughout the tour. We especially appreciated her flexibility in allowing us to split the experience between driving and walking, which made the day feel comfortable and well-paced.
Carli is clearly well traveled and brought a great mix of park knowledge, local insight, and enjoyable conversation to the tour. We really enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Acadia.

Amazing Tour
Nathan was amazing! With the construction, we would have missed some sights! He also catered to us as my husband's knee was bothering him. Nathan guided me to some short hikes so I didn't miss a thing! Snacks and waters were a nice touch! We saw 2 gardens that were not on our radar - we enjoyed both! Highly recommend!!! He also suggested some local restaurants. We had the best lobster off the beaten path!!
