Delicious and varied - Excellent food tour. Food was great and varied, walking tour was interesting. Especially loved the oil & vinegar tasting and the ice cream, but all the food stops were good. Beautiful walk in beautiful weather.

Great Foodie and History Tour around Bar Harbor - Our foodie tour with Charlie was a tasty and fun trip around the downtown area of Bar Harbor. Chowder/bisque, lobster roll, crab cake, ice cream and blueberry doughnuts to taste at different stops, intermingled with Bar Harbor history and stories dispensed by Charlie. And the stop at the olive oil/balsamic vinegar shop was a special treat. All in all, an enjoyable way to get a sampling of good food along with some history of the area!

Walking Foodie Tour of Bar Harbor - The most enjoyable walking Foodie Tour. The restaurant samples were outstanding, combined with our tour guide’s historical knowledge of Bar Harbor and Acadia development over the years was amazing. I highly recommend Rosemary as your tour guide.

Disappointing - We have taken other food tours and this was the most expensive. The cost compared to the food samples provided was not in line. We were handed a donut during walk no beverage. The 1st restaurant was very good (the website picture shows 2 crab cakes but we were only given 1) with water. The 2nd restaurant gave us a small bowl of bisque or clam chowder and the soups were barely warm. The visit to the store that sold olive oil was good. Guide walked us past several restaurants that were excellent but not included in the tour-why not? The next stop was at a bar and we were given a half a lobster roll sandwich. Other tours gave us a whole one with an alcoholic beverage. We were only given water here. Last stop was good-high end ice cream. Seemed like she twisted arms for reduced food prices and some of the restaurants acted as such.
