Good way to see the park - Tour guide was relaxed, gave us good information and plenty of time to explore the 3 stops. He told corny stories and jokes to keep us entertained!

Not to be Missed—Acadia National Park - Acadia National Park a bucket list for me. Our guide knew exactly where to take us, how much time to allow. He had great back stories of the lowly lobster of yesteryear, the incredible assistance of Nelson Rockefeller, where to get best lobster roll, which museum to see if only have a day—etc.

Great Tour - Comfortable coaches. Rick was knowledgeable and friendly. He had a story for every situation! We saw everything we wanted to see in the park. My advice - skip the idea of driving yourself through Acadia National Park. "Park" is the operative word. Even if you are fortunate enough to find a spot to Park, you will most likely walk for miles to find one nice hiking trail or view. Leave the driving to the pros, sit back and enjoy the view!

Acadia National Park Narrated Tour - Loved our driver, Rick, who was very knowledgeable about history and very friendly and helpful. The weather the day we went was not ideal but Rick rearranged our stops so we could make the best of our time. Acadia National Park is a truly incredible place. If you like visiting our National Parks but are not a hiker, this is the way to go!

Worth it for first time visitors - Real nice tour with a super guide. Only 14 folks on the motor bus which was great. Three stops and our least favorite, garden area, but a nice diversion to pick some wild blueberries. The best thing is not lines to get in to the park, huge time saver, and a relaxing morning to enjoy the beauty of Acadia overlooking the Island.
