The Perfect Way to See the Best of Acadia National Park - Our tour guide, Craig, was awesome. His historical knowledge of Acadia National Park was impressive. We were visiting Bar Harbor during the off-season and didn't know where to start our trip to Acadia National Park. Unfortunately, parts of Acadia were closed, but Craig was able to drive us to the popular overlooks and famous spots. We would have loved to have hiked some of the trails, but we had a lot of sights to visit and had to stay on schedule. Craig was kind enough to point out trails along our drive to keep in mind when we come back to Acadia...giving us "insider tips" on the best of Acadia. At the end of our tour, we were treated to a Lobster Roll (or similar item) at a Bar Harbor eatery. Afterwards, Craig was kind enough to recommend local favorites for dessert and must-see shops for the best souvenirs. We loved every minute of our tour.

Amazing Views and Amazing Guide! - We had such an amazing time on the tour with Craig. The weather was a little chilly, but the views were beautiful! Craig was knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent driver. He was able to take us all throughout the park and pointed out all different trails and landmarks. We had such an amazing time!

Highly Recommended Tour!! - Craig was a GREAT tour guide! We spent about 4 hours touring many parts of Acadia and Bar Harbor and he even treated us to a lobster roll at Geddy’s afterwards. He was so knowledgeable and was able to provide a wealth of information to our group from history facts to current events. Thank you for a great trip!

I doubt I would do this again - I would have to say the experience was just ok. This was our first visit to Acadia & I felt like a tour would be our best bet. In hind site, we would have better enjoyed just seeing the park on our own. I will have to say the best part though was meeting & visiting with the other patrons as well as the tour guide who was super nice! The price was a little hefty for the experience,
