What are people saying about Bar Harbor

Jim_M, June 2026

Great way to enjoy the park!

Our host did a great job teaching us how to operate the e-bikes and navigate the park! A beautiful day of exercise and scenery, split up by a lunch at the Jordan Pond House, made this a highlight of our vacation. Believe the hype, this experience was awesome!

Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

Donna_T, June 2026

There were four of us in...

There were four of us in a spacious van, so very comfortable. Our guide, Lydia, was great and answered all my questions. Because she grew up in this area, she was a font of information. We took as long as we needed at each stop which made this so much better than a round the park bus tour. If parking was tight, she would drop us off and come back in 15 minutes or more, if needed. Truly accommodating to what we liked. We got to see all the major points of interest in one afternoon and were able to decide where else to go or return to. Great tour.

Joshua_W, June 2026

Fantastic experience!

We highly recommend this 6:30 PM tour with Doug. It was a beautiful short walk with a few spots to learn more not only about ghosts, but some great information about the area. We are locals and there were some things we didn't know that made us feel that much more grateful to live in this beautiful region of the world. We would take the same tour again someday with friends if that says anything.

Go in early June instead...

Go in early June instead of early May as we did last year. I did feel rushed at all the stops. Was the May tour longer than the June tour ? This time we didn’t get to get a bite to eat at the famous popover restaurant, I think the May tour was 4 hours instead of the 2.5 tour. However our tour guy was extremely entertaining and great sense of humor and very knowledgeable.

Acadia Carriage Road -Awesome!

John was an amazing and knowledgeable guide that brought to life the carriage roads of Acadia National Park! My sister and I wondered if 4 hours was going to be too long but with plenty of stops, magnificent views, and well articulated history, we could have spent another 4 hours with John!

We highly recommend this tour for families who want to sit back and relax and just take in the scenery with someone who knows all the best spots!

Best Acadia e-Bike Experience!

Patrick is totally hands on with his bikes, which are the best we’ve ever ridden. Incredible on steep grades. He gave us a thorough tutorial on the bikes and had us do a practice loop so he could be sure they were properly fitted. He then provided us with a map & route that suited our level of experience & sense of adventure. What an amazing day on the carriage trails in Acadia!!

Acadia and Bar Harbor-amazing experience!

Great day learning about Acadia Mational Park, Bar Harbor and surrounding areas. Our tour guide Bill, sounds like “Belle” with his accent, was funny, informative and flexible with what we wanted to do and see! He took us to eat lunch at Beal’s Restaurant where we had the best lobster and lobster roll! Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will get Bill as your tour guide!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Maine. Jacki was a fantastic tour guide and made our visit to Acadia National Park unforgettable. She was so knowledgeable about the park, the history, wildlife, and gave us so many fantastic recommendations beyond Acadia. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do it and request Jacki!!

Caleb was awesome. He is friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a snafu with scheduling the incorrect date/time. He was accommodating and scheduled us later in the day after his first tour. We saw everything we wanted to see and got us back to the ship in time. Recommend this tour and especially the guide highly!!
