it was a warm evening for a walk around town. Bar Harbor doesn’t have as many ghosts as some cities but the historical and local info was insightful. Since my hearings isn’t perfect, I appreciated that the group numbered 19 and the guide stopped in places where the group could gather and all hear.

Thank you so much, Mira! We’re thrilled Doug made your experience so enjoyable and gave you a great mix of local history and spooky stories. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
So much fun. Our guide was funny, informative, and a great speaker. The stories were funny and yes also scary. I would recommend this to everyone who comes to Bar Harbor who wants a fun way to learn more about the town AND get a little scare. Not only did we hear ghost stories, we got to see some parts of the town we never planned on going to. I have much deeper understanding of the town now. Evan is an amazing host, would love to have him narrate all of my travels

This was a nice tour with a very friendly host - decent size group. Limited opportunities for sitting but the walking is not a far distance. A good chance to see some of the local inns from the outside. We were scared on the way home.

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! 💀
