Sadly our experience did not align with others. Our guide seemed content to show us laminated pictures of things. Based on other reviews - other guides appear to be more engaging and interesting. We left after ~25-30 minutes - perhaps the best was yet to come but it was a very long start to the tour.

We are sad to hear your experience was not up to our normal standard. We will definitely talk with our tour guide about your experience. Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention.

History of the town and buildings was enjoyable. Randy was an excellent tour guy. Very funny and loved the chocolate treats made with Maine mashed potatoes!!

We had a lovely and informative two hour tour of Bar Harbour recently. Pace was manageable and enjoyable. Saw many spots we would have missed on our own.
