5.00Pete was a fantastic guide! It was our first time visiting Acadia, and it definitely helped us see parts we would never have seen without this tour. He was very knowledgeable about Acdia as well! Overall, it was great!
Great tour and experience for families wanting to see Acadia!

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!
