This was our 1st visit to the Acadia region and having the guided tour before we explored the park on our own the next day was a great help. Tour guide Bill T. arrived exactly on time to pick us up. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. We had plenty of time to stop at the points of interest we wanted and spend as much time as we chose. We had a wonderful time, would recommend it to anyone.

Highlight of our trip! We had a four hour tour with Sue-what a fun experience! We learned so much about Acadia and surrounding areas. She was informative, fun, kept our twin 10 year olds engage and went above and beyond providing many tips and suggestions for our stay. We were able to see so much of the park that we would not have been able to squeeze in during our short stay. Would give six stars! Thank you!

We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Sue! Our tours are the best way for mixed ages to enjoy the park, everyone gets the time to explore at the pace they want. Sue is wonderful with kids, she has two of her own!

We had a 4 hour tour with "At Your Service " and it was everything one could hope for: interesting, colorful, entertaining and memorable, much of it due to our wonderful guide, Bill. Bill was funny, knowledgeable and always willing to accommodate us when we wanted to stop for pictures, which was often. Bill is from Bar Harbor so his wealth of information regarding the city, the Park and the locals is immeasurable and his stories are amusing. Acadia National Park is truly awesome and we were so blessed to experience it on a beautiful fall day; the air was crisp, the sky was blue and the colors were vibrant and breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour company, this tour guide and the sights of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, which together combine to create an amazing day of treasured memories.
