What are people saying about Bar Harbor

Beth_S, May 2026

Acadia National Park Bus Tour

Heather was our bus driver and was so funny and very informative. We got to see everything in Acadia National Park. It has an awesome botanical garden on grounds that we got to visit. I'm sure most people just drive by because you can't see it from the road. We have it all to ourselves. I highly recommend!

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!

Best Day Ever

A great way to explore the carriage roads of Acadia. My 23 y/o daughter and I had the best time. We stopped to enjoyed beautiful walking trails, waterfalls and bridges along the way. We covered close to 25+ miles within 6 hours. The carriage roads are a must see. Can’t imagine the architectural planning to create all these beautiful trails ❤️

Best Way to See Acadia!

This was the perfect way to see Acadia! We were new to the e-bike experience and it was super easy. I was relieved when I discovered that we rode the bike in the traditional sense and the “e” part just made the inclines easier. Our guide, Wilton, was friendly and informed. He put us at ease and was well prepared. We had a great tour/day and learned so much about everything from park history to the wildlife etc. My husband and I agreed that it was the best tour of our vacation.

Acadia Woody's Cadillac Loop 3 Hour Driving Tour

Kelly_M, Oct 2025

Woody is the best!

Woody is an awesome guide! We learned a ton about the history and Woody made sure we saw everything. I can't imagine there is a better tour guide out there. Woody gave us great insight and is clearly a well loved and respected local too. He adjusted the tour to suit all of our needs and was very accommodating to us in regards to our comfort, our timeline, and our interests. We ran the MDI marathon the next day and the information Woody provided made the run even better since we then knew the stories about many of the places we were running. Woody and his tour were, as we all agreed, a major highlight of our trip with seven friends to the island.

Great Way to See Acadia -- especially if you are time limited

This is a great way to quickly see Acadia park -- if you have limited time. We completely enjoyed ourselves, and know that we want to return. If you have more time, then you may want to find something that has the opportunity to do some hiking and exploring, but with limited time, and some mobility issues, this was perfect for us. The company was even able to modify things so that we still had a great tour despite the government closure.

Jacki is the best!

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!!

The Way Life Should Be: 4-hr, Private Guided Tour of Acadia NP.

Jason_A, July 2025

The best way to see Acadia!

Nathan is an amazing tour guide and knows the ins and outs of this park. We did the tour on our first of 4 days at the park and asked him to show us some hidden gems that we most likely wouldn’t find on our own. He did not disappoint! We had an amazing experience in a very comfortable air conditioned minivan on this steamy 95 degree day! We stopped and walked through multiple sites and were glad to come back to the cool van where Nathan had water available. He also gave us a nice narrated tour through town and while he was driving us around. He will customize the tour based on your preferences, the weather, and what level of hiking your crew can handle. I highly recommend the tour! Thanks Nathan!
