Beautiful Acadia

This Acadia Park experience was perfect for us! Our guide, Chris, was incredibly friendly, informative, attentive, and funny. He shared lots of history about Bar Harbor and how it connects to the park. The tour took us to several key spots in the park, including Cadillac Mountain, the Sieur de Monts Nature Center, Thunder Hole, and Jordan Pond. At Cadillac Mountain, we were immediately captivated by the scenery, and Chris shared all sorts of fascinating facts about each tour stop. We had plenty of time to explore each spot and appreciate the beauty of Acadia. The Sieur de Monts Nature Center we enjoyed chatting with the Park Ranger inside the center. My husband and I definitely would recommend this tour, especially because of the small group size and the air conditioning was a plus along with the bottled water.

Patrick was fantastic....

Patrick was fantastic. Texted us day before to make sure we were good, and was prompt with answers to our questions. Having been to other crowded NPs we were concerned about traffic. None at 7:30am. He got us on the carriage road early, clear instructions and let us know what others had trouble with. E-bikes were the best! He called them Cadillac of the mountain, easy to use. Ages 62 to 25 and everyone had a blast. I would give Patrick a 10 but you only allow 5 stars.

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.

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.
