Beautiful day; average tour

While the tour host shared a lot of interesting information, his props and visual aids, (well-intended) were sub-par. I was more impressed by Viator's communications (confirmations, emails, etc.). Those interactions and exchanges were far superior to the quality of the excursion tour itself. So, somewhat of a letdown overall.

Living History Tour

I loved that the tour guide is a direct descendant of Bar Harbor founders. I loved hearing the history. We liked that Charlie used his iPad to show old photos.

Our Guide was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area and shared from a story telling point vs simply reading a script and narrating.
