There’s nothing quite like a private tour and our guide, Kathrine, was wonderful. She had a great knowledge of the area and history.

This tour is an incredibly convenient and comfortable way to see Acadia and the rest of MDI. Our guide, Bill Thurston, was extremely knowledgeable, including about the history of the park and surrounding area. Bill also made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour, and kept us entertained with a number of great anecdotes. Well worth the price!

Thank you! I can't stress enough to people how much you miss seeing the park on your own or on a bus tour. Our local guides really show you so much and let you have the time to explore it on your own without being rushed.
