Premium Narrated Bus Tour of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (3.5 Hours)

Wendy_H, Aug 2026

A must do tour!

Everyone should take this tour before you do anything in Acadia National Park. You get tons of historical and geological information. Plus you get taken to all the top sites and you don't have to mess with the traffic or parking. You can go back the next day if you want to see more of a particular location or venture out to other areas of Acadia National Park. And you may be lucky enough to get Eric Jordan as your driver who has lived in the area for 40 years. He is extremely knowledgeable.

Priceless experience with countless sightseeing

The E-bike guided tour is an excellent way to get the most sightseeing crammed into your day with the addition of history and knowledge provided by your guide. We had the pleasure of having Thomas guide our group up, down, and around all of the cottage roads; stopping every mile or two to share some knowledge about how and why everything is the way it is. Beaver dams, snapping turtles, landscapes, waterways, lakes… you name it, we saw it. He has a vast knowledge of the area and history, and it truly shows just how much he appreciates and cares about Acadia. He made the experience that much more enjoyable and unique. The bicycles that were supplied are top tier. It made embarking on a 22 mile trek effortless. We were more focused on the sights and not if we’re would be able to make the ride. Overall 10/10. If you’re trying to see a little bit of everything, this is definitely worth doing. We are extremely glad we did and feel like we would have missed out on a huge chunk of Acadia simply because there isn’t enough time in the day to trek everything on foot.

Best part of our trip and I'm not easily impressed!

Very good instruction and maps with numbered corners were easy to follow. The trail system was amazing and the views were better than I could have hoped for. The quality of the E-bike was top notch, comfortable and relatively effortless to ride and we rode for 6 hours. My wife and I will be coming back with family to do it again!

Great E-Bike Experience

We had a remarkable experience with our E bikes in Acadia National Park. Patrick, our setup man, did a fantastic job explaining how to use his wonderful bikes and how to do it safely while still having a lot of fun. His attention to detail to get out of everyone setup comfortably at the beginning was impressive. We will definitely book that trip again.

Four hour Acadia national park private tour

Pete was superb in every way! Friendly, patient, excellent with our two children (12 and 18), and of course encyclopedic knowledge of Acadia nation park and the surrounding area. His car was showroom clean with not even a single smudge on amy of the window glass. My wife and I travel extensively with our children and use local guides at almost every city we visit and Pete may be the single best we’re used in years. With recommendations for specific foods like popovers and blueberry pie, including following up after the tour to check in on us. He is a consummate professional and really appreciated the use of amplified speaker setup for all of us the hear with clarity and small parting gifts for the kids. It was our first time to Acadia national park and would definitely use Pete again for a more in depth tour and highly recommend without any reservations.

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.

Informative and carefree drive!

It was great seeing some of the park with someone else driving the park roads! Our driver was informative about the history of the park and the points of interest along the drive. He was friendly with all of us and even had our 9-year-old “help” count the number of passengers at each stop. It is definitely worth the cost to be escorted and learn about the park at the same time!

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.

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!!
