Traveler reviews
Informative and carefree drive!
It was great seeing some of the park with someone else driving the park roads! Our driver was informative about the history of the park and the points of interest along the drive. He was friendly with all of us and even had our 9-year-old “help” count the number of passengers at each stop. It is definitely worth the cost to be escorted and learn about the park at the same time!

Great tour to get to know the park!
Terrific Tour of Acadia National Park
Great guided tour featuring highlights within Acadia National Park, such as Cadillac Mountain, etc. Bus driver/tour guide Rick is wealthy in knowledge as well as fun personality! He knows everything there is to know about the immediate and surrounding area, and his easygoing, fun-loving demeanor makes his ongoing commentary a joy to take in. This 2-1/2 hr tour strikes the perfect balance between offering detail(s) with a reasonable pace. Fantastic.
Excellent
