Our group was visiting Maine for the first time. We were very interested in seeing Acadia National Park. Not only did we want to see some of nature, but we also wanted to do some easy to moderate walking trails. Before we came, we realized how big the park was and decided to hire a four hour park tour with At Your Services. Our tour guide, Grant, was perfect for this job. Not only did he take us to some stunning places in the park, but he also had a wealth of knowledge of the park that was fascinating. His tour included stops for us to walk, see nature, and take pictures. His enthusiasm was what made the tour even better for us; it was obvious he wanted us to love it as much as he did. When the tour was over, he marked our map with a pen to help us find other hiking trails.

Thank you! Acadia is one of those places that is best done with a guide. Doing it on your own you miss a ton and its frustrating for the driver.

Despite being a miserable, rainy day our tour guide Sue made our day! She tried her hardest to get us anywhere we might catch a view and filled our morning with lots of useful and interesting information! What could have turned into a soggy mess turned out to be delightful! Thank you for all of your hard work Sue!

I am glad you are a group that can still have fun in the rain!! That says a lot about you. Maine's changing weather is as much a part of tours as the park. It is always beautiful.

David is a wonderful guide and knows so much! Local guides are really the only way to truly enjoy Acadia. We can show you how to spend you time when on your own and not face crowds and parking.
