At Your Service is a premier tour operator. This is the second time we used them. Because we arrived in November, albeit on a perfect 60 degree day, we had Acadia nearly to ourselves. Our guide, Paul , was fantastic. He regaled us with stories and interesting facts about the area, keeping us involved throughout. We visited and hiked at all of high spots and many of the location where we were the only visitors. We heartily recommend thE company.

Thank you! You definitely brought some gorgeous weather with you. I am more used to standing in snow flurries in November. Paul had a great time showing you Acadia. You saw it like a real local in the off season with the trails to yourselves! I hope you come back again.

Our Guide Bill Thurston was great. He was raised in Bar Harbor so he had a lot of history of the area. We recommend both the tour and Bill as your guide.

Thank you for taking the time to review Bill and our company. We are finishing up our 23rd season and Bill has been with us for most of them! He is a wonderful guide and a local treasure.

Oh my gosh Acadia was absolutely stunning! It started out very foggy & hard to get a clear view but after a little time the fog burned off & we were able see how beautiful it was. Our guide Bill was very informative & obliging (let us take more time in certain areas). He also gave us a great recommendation for lunch.

Thank you! Sometimes that morning fog can be a challenge but it’s still always beautiful in Acadia! Bill enjoyed his time with you.
