Would not recommend

Our tour guide Ray was pretty rude and not flexible with time at all. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation. Finished third day itinerary on first day and third day was just returning back to New York! Was rushed all three days. Missed Mount Desert Island and eagle lake! Portland light house is free but we’re charged $15 each - no explanation on being asked

Personalised attention, expert storytelling, and seamless logistics made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommend Rex for an outstanding experience!" Suggestion: Transport with preferably charging pods which is essential for long travelling by road

03 Days Acadia Tour

I'm a youtuber, however this isn't a paid review. This trip is recommended for those who like to explore nature. Our trip started from New Jersy, day one we expkored Aquarium and Boston Harbor Cruise, day 02 was Cadilac Mountain and bar harbour boat ride and Day 03 was Light house (view only) at Portland. The trip overall cost was approx USD 820 with breakfast. Overall it was a good trip however may be a few more sites/attractions could have been added for the price and the numbers of hours it took from NYC/NJ to Acadia. The hotel was excellent for a two days stay. The highlight was our tour guide Mr. Rex. He was providing a lot of information about every state/city we were passing by during our tour. He is humble, friendly and an amazing person. He was provding information both in english and chinese as out of 13 guests 2 were from Pakistan and 11 were from China/Japan. There was a lot of hardwork by Mr. Rex that i really appreciate and wish him all the best for his future tours.

Good tour

Good tour to Acadia National Park. You're on the move a lot, which isn't surprising considering the 8-hour journey from New York to Acadia National Park. Doable thanks to stops and the view from the bus. Tight schedule, on the road from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day. We stayed 2 nights at the Fireside Inn and Suites, Waterville, simple but good, American breakfast included.
