Wonderful tour with Katherine to Acadia National Park and other stops. Very easy to book in advance as we were coming in to Bar Harbor by cruise ship for only one day. There were 5 of us on the tour, as well as a crocheted lobster. Katherine was extremely flexible and knowledgeable. In addition to the stops listed in the itinerary, she stopped at Thuya Garden, a hidden delight with massive flowers in bloom. All in all, a wonderful day spent with Katherine.

We had an excellent time on our tour. Our guide provided a level of insight about the park that we would not have discovered on our own. We had plenty of time to explore all of the sights we wanted to and made great family memories.
