5.00Acadia National Park has stunning views. I have no doubt that if our group had tried to drive ourselves we would have missed out on so many of them. Pete was extremely knowledgeable, welcomed questions, drove safely, offered bottled water and a variety of snacks through out the tour. He had tips and tricks from his life long visits to the park and of Bar Harbor. His Kia Carnival was meticulously clean and very nice. Don’t hesitate to book a tour, you won’t regret it!

5.00Pete was a wonderful guide: so knowledgeable about Maine, Acadia, wildlife, plants, you name it, he knew it! The van was super nice and he even brought snacks and drinks. He made it fun for our kids (even the hard to impress teens) and we all had a great time. I highly recommend this for families wanting to relax and let someone else do the driving and decisions!
Great tour and tour guide!

5.00Pete was an amazing tour guide! So patient with our teenagers and curious 9 year old, knowledgeable about everything from Maine’s history to all the different plants and animals. We highly recommend this tour for families who want to sit back and relax and just take in the scenery with someone who knows all the best spots!
