Guided Ebike Tour of Acadia National Park Carriage Roads

Timothy_L, Jul 2026

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.

Bar Harbor Premium Tour with Cadillac Mountain and Acadia Park

Jonnye_W, Jul 2026

BarHarbor adventure

It was informative. We were ahead of the many cars. The driver allowed us to see many things. Stop overs were nice. We were not rushed. The lobster roll was delicious but the female owner was great on cheerful hospitality. Our driver was very attentive and accommodating.

“Classic Acadia” Private Tour: Cadillac Mountain & Thunder Hole

Brian_F, Jul 2026

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.

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.

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

Michaeline_N, Jul 2026

Perfect Way to see Acadia

Heather, our tour guide/bus driver, was great! She was personable, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Acadia. She gave a wonderful tour of the park's highlights. Her narration was well-received by all on our tour, and she gave us plenty of time to explore at each stop. We highly recommend this for anyone who would like to experience the beauty of Acadia without worrying about things like reservations for Cadillac Mountain (unless you really want to try to see the sunrise!) and navigating the park by yourself (although it doesn't seem difficult). It was great to hear information you wouldn't otherwise learn about on your own.

Acadia Full Day Small Group Tour & Hike

Jessica_C, Jul 2026

Best tour for our Family hands down

If you’re visiting Acadia, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Asher. This was, without question, the best tour—and Asher was the best tour guide—we’ve ever experienced. From our 10-year-old to our 75-year-old, every member of our family was completely engaged from start to finish. Asher has an incredible gift for storytelling, bringing the history, geology, wildlife, and culture of Acadia to life in a way that’s both educational and entertaining. Asher’s passion for the park is contagious, and their depth of knowledge is truly impressive. Beyond the amazing stories and information, the entire experience was flawlessly organized. Every stop, every transition, and every detail was thoughtfully planned, making the day completely stress-free. It was logistical perfection, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the country. We’ve been on many tours over the years, and this one set a new standard. Thank you, Asher, for creating memories our family will be talking about for years to come. We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly!

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.

Narrated Bus Tour of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park

Patricia_W, Jul 2026

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!

90-minute Ghost Walking Tour in Bar Harbor

Joshua_W, Jun 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.

6 Hour Ultimate Private Acadia Insiders Tour with Lobster Lunch

JessicaAveryt, May 2026

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!
