First Time in Bar Harbor - Our tour guide was Catherine! She was lovely and very personable! I love history so the tidbits of information about Bar Harbor’s history was great, but was interesting to even the non-history lover as we were constantly seeing current day areas. It was an amazing intro to the town!

Just do it! - To know something as you walk by and see it - is so much better than to wonder! There should be a walking tour in every little town and city to do it justice!

Not For The Solo Traveler Who Likes to Explore - The information she had was good, but it seemed like we didn't go to all the places mentioned. Tour only lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. Fairly slow paced. Beware, if you have a car, parking will be over $10.
