Efficient and inclusive tour, good for those without car and have only minimum time of stay in Acadia
That was the first time for both my wife and me to visit Acadia National Park. Since it was just a one-night, one-and-a-half-day trip, we thought a two-and-a-half-day narrated bus tour was a good way to hit key places in Acadia, learn about its history, and make the most of our time. That's what we received. The logistics were easy and organized, and the driver, Ken, was very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend it for first-timers and those with limited time to visit.
Learned so much. Smooth ride and entertaining too! Thank you KC
The trip was nice and beautiful location
The trip was great. Our driver/narrator was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He was very considerate of us older people. He even recommended a place for lunch. The bus seats were very comfortable and he offered us water during the trip. My only concern was the crowds but that was beyond his control. Thanks for the opportunity. Deena C
Rick did an incredible job. I would highly recommend
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed it. Very interesting and would recommend this tour.
Keep in mind you will be able to walk around. for 40-60 minutes on this tour which means you will be on the bus for 90-110 minutes. As long as that meets your expectations, you should enjoy the tour.
Great day! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts about the impressionable individuals that formed Bar Harbor’s history and made Acadia National Park accessible. The views at the top of Cadillac Mountain were spectacular Highly recommend
The tour was great. The park is beautiful and the tour guide was very good.
