Wonderful tour - The guided driving and walking tour was excellent. We enjoyed the freedom of choosing which locations to linger at while still feeling like you’re accompanied by an experienced guide. The app was also easy to use and worked very well. I was a little confused at first with the audio instructions that I needed to switch tours in the home screen for the Ocean Path walk but after figuring it out it was a breeze! I thought the GPS locations also worked well at starting the audio in the right spots.

Easy to use & Informative - This was so easy! Be sure to download while you have a signal, however. Easy to follow. Rewind to replay if needed. Great info.

Mother Nature in Fall - Take your time to enjoy the serenity and beauty of Acadia. We used the driving tour app from Action Tour Guide and felt like the guide was riding with us. Traffic flowed smoothly for the most part. We enjoyed the short walks to scenic sites and the amazing view from Cadillac mountain.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away - Thunder hole. It was amazing. All the views were beautiful and the tour was spot on! Wish we could have got reservations to Cadillac Mountain .

Acadia National Park self tour app review. - Easy to follow, lot of interesting local and historical information. Never lost reception, better than sitting on a tour bus with strangers.

Scenic - Although it was a cloudy/rainy day, the park was clean, busy and scenic. The drive around was nice...will need to return to see sunrise at Cadillac Mtn (unable to see due to rain) and with bikes to explore more. NOTE there are fees to enter Acadia and to see sunrise at Cadillac Mtn...

Good but not great - Even though we were going the speed limit the tour monologue would all of a sudden stop and jump to the next one or repeat a previous talk. Not real impressed. But there was interesting information that we would not have known being on our own.

Not Good - There were none as I think this site and proposition is very deceiving as tickets not included. I would not recommend to anyone... Even your survey site sucks
