historic Bar Harbor with FOOD - Well, the food was diverse and well chosen, but the most wonderful part was guide David’s incredible history of the fabled Bar Harbor social life—where the rich and famous hung out in summer, sailing into port with their trunks, servants, and impressive ‘summer’ gowns. The island has seen it all and David spoke as if he had been in residence for all 3-4 historic periods. He has been there for most of his 35 year connection with Desert Island. Clearly spoken info (no headsets, so you will need to keep up with him on the walks to soak up the local info. Well worth the investment, if you can get David’s tour. From TripAdvisor, call the vendor to ask for David on a day that works for your plans. I think her name is Linda.

Fantastic Tour - This tour of Bar Harbor ME was wonderful. David, our guide, was very knowledgeable and shared many facts and stories. The blueberry donut was worth the price of the tour. Just amazing. All of the food was great and we had a fabulous time.

Great eats in Bar Harbor! - Randy was an excellent tour guide! We loved his energy and friendliness! It was nice to check out some places and foods you might not necessarily think to try when visiting Bar Harbor. Everything we ate was tasty and we enjoyed walking the town en route to each destination. If you enjoy good food and good scenery, highly recommend checking out this tour!

A Taste and History of Bar Harbor+ - First time visitors to Maine and Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. This was fun. My daughter and I chose this tour because we wanted to become familiar with the town's history and learn all the great places to eat. Our tour guide did not disappoint, plus he brought along someone with knowledge of Acadia NP. Not only was the food delicious, including the blueberry donut, crab cakes (to die for), lobster bisque, lobster roll, and ice cream but our guide(s) were full of wonderful information from the history of the area, to best places to eat, and sites to see at the NP and elsewhere. Very well thought out and professional. I gave it four stars because I felt it was a little over priced, but still enjoyed.
