Our tour guide was Ken... - Our tour guide was Ken and he was great. We had a very foggy day so couldn’t enjoy all the views but he still made it worth it.

Informative tour of Acadia - I found the tour operator to be very informative of the history of Acadia and all the stories that made the park what it is today. With 17 people on the tour it felt like not too big of a crowd to manage. It's too bad that our arrival at Thunder Hole did not line up with the tide time that makes the bigger thunder sounds, but it was still beautiful to visit.

A Great Way to See Acadia! - This was a great tour! It was exactly as described. Our guide was very knowledgable and taught us a lot about the history of the area as we explored. Our group was a reasonable size and the bus was comfortable. Given how crowded the park is, it was nice to see the highlights (including Cadillac Mountain) without having to battle for a parking spot. We brought my 3 year old and 8 year old and the length of the tour was perfect for everyone. If you want to see the best of Acadia without the stress of driving I recommend it.

A terrific overview of... - A terrific overview of Acadia National Park. Our guide, Ken was very interesting and knowledgeable. A little more time at some of the main stops would have been good. The 2.5 hours passed quickly.

Good tour - Guide was a little hard to understand. He talked fast and the speakers were not loud enough I suppose. But he was very nice and accommodating.

Nice way to see Acadia - Easy to find, comfortable seating and the tour was no-stress. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. To be honest, he just talked too much.

Bus Tour - The guide was fantastic, just wish we had more time to explore at the top of Cadillac mountain and thunder hole. When you get off the bus to check these areas out you only had 20 minutes. I would have rather skipped the garden and had more time at the other sites. Overall the tour was great but to make it a 5 star more time is needed at the spots I mentioned.

Saw only FOG. - Ken was great. The day was very foggy and we had zero visibility. The driver apologized but we felt taken advantage of. They should have offered us tickets for another day or a refund. Another group was entering when we left and they were not told of the conditions either.

Foggy day. Tour guide over compensated - Foggy day. Tour guide told us about what we should be seeing and then because we couldn’t see anything he did a lot of fill in chatter. Not his fault, but he lmight have paused and asked if we had questions instead of chattering on
