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.

Very good tour. The guide did a great job explaining the history at each stop. The last stop was the cemetery, which was a little eerie to leave and venture back to the car.

5/5 Stars! 👻 Doug's 90-minute Ghost Walking Tour of Bar Harbor was an absolute blast and a major highlight of our trip! He is a master storyteller who perfectly blends local history with spine-tingling suspense, making the town's dark past come alive (and making the coastal breeze feel just a little bit creepier!). We left with goosebumps, great fun facts, and huge smiles. If you want a delightfully spooky and incredibly fun evening, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Doug—he is scary good at what he does! 💀
Response from Host, Jun 2026

George was very knowledgeable about the Bar Harbor area and knew all the ghost stories. He was also interesting to talk to about his journey to Bar Harbor from Ohio. He gave some local tips on where to eat at the end of the tour.

Had a really good time on this tour. The stopping places were really well timed/placed for having such a huge group (just under 30). Our guide Evan was very informative and masterfully navigated/queued our group to move through the small city.

A decent tour. Not too scary. My family was disappointed. We’ve had better experiences. I would suggest more facts about Bar Harbor to be included.

Thanks, Brian! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour with Doug great tip about the jacket! 👻
Pam_M, Oct 2025
Interesting tour with a lot of local information. I was expecting more “ghost” information and less historical information, so I was a bit disappointed. However, I appreciated the research, time and effort the guide put into her presentation.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Pam! We’re glad you enjoyed learning about Bar Harbor’s rich history and appreciate the guide’s hard work. We’ll keep your feedback in mind as we continue to blend history with hauntings! 👻

Not very exciting. Went on some very dark paths. A heads up would have been good.
Very nice guide but material needs to be pumped up.

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Edwin’s storytelling and the spooky Bar Harbor folklore.
Neal_W, Oct 2025
Tour was Ok, but somewhat underwhelming. Doug was knowledgeable but really didn't get the sense of "ghosts / super naturals" in the area. Allot of stories about locations we weren't at. We have been on multiple ghost tours across the world (probabaly 20 or so and the vast majority of those were far superior.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations, especially given your experience with ghost tours worldwide. Doug is a knowledgeable guide, but we understand that different guests are hoping for different styles of storytelling and atmosphere. We’ll be sure to share your comments with our team as we’re always working to improve our tours. We truly appreciate you giving us a try in Bar Harbor.
Megan_W, Sep 2025
This “ghost tour” had 30 people on it, including a person in a walker and in a walking boot. I’m not sure if we got the regular tour experience, but there was lots of waiting time and it was generally very slow. It also felt like the narrative had been really boiled down.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour pace and group size affected your experience. We always want our guests to feel engaged and get the full stories, so we’ll be reviewing this with our team to make sure tours run more smoothly. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
Sharon_B, Sep 2025
It's fast moving and dark. Bring a flashlight. Doug was very kind and made sure everyone could keep up.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for the tip! Doug loves keeping the tour moving and making sure everyone can enjoy the spooky fun safely. Glad you had a great time!
Gary_G, Sep 2025
Doug was awesome! The stories were very interesting and his knowledge of local history made it a doubly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend taking this tour!

Very informative And interesting. Our guide doug did a great job. Small group and cool stops. Recommend highly. Great way to learn some history of bar harbor.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks so much, Jeannie! Doug will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the history and spooky stops come back anytime for more ghostly fun! 👻
Andrea_O, Sep 2025
We all thought we would get to see inside some of the buildings, but in retrospect- that can’t be done in 90 minutes with a large group of people. As it happened, we had walked a lot of the same route by ourselves earlier in the day, and read the signs for the history, but Doug was able to add several of the ghost stories, we would not have known.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re genuinely sorry the tour felt too short to fully cover both the history and the ghost stories, We really appreciate your understanding about the building access, and we’re glad Doug could bring a few extra stories to life for you. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope the glimpses of Bar Harbor’s history and its spooky tales still left a memorable impression.
