Glad we booked it. - Our guide was friendly, informative and very punctual. The van was clean and comfortable. We were traveling with my elderly father (94) and the guide made it easy and allowed him to stay in the car if he wanted to.

Great private tour with Caleb! - We had a great, entertaining, and informative tour thru Acadia park with our guide Caleb. He is a born and raised local that was very informative for everything within our tour. Furthermore, he was extremely energetic and you could tell that he loves his job. I would highly recommend the tour and Caleb as the guide!

Exploring Acadia - What an awesome time we had with Nathan exploring Acadia. The tour started on time and the car was very comfortable. Nathan was very personable and shared many interesting facts and stories about Acadia. He also gave us some recommendations for lunch in Bar Harbor. And although there was no "thunder" at Thunder Hole, we had a great time! Thank you Nathan for a wonderful tour! -- Tina, Jeff, Carolina and Betty Ann.

Fabulous Tour and Experience - This was the highlight of our trip and I would say is a must do. The cost with At Your Service was much more reasonable than booking through our cruise line and the experience was so much better. Pete, our guide, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, interesting, and put everyone in our group at ease, from kids to grandma. He shared great details about Bar Harbor and Acadia and adapted the tour to meet our needs. The van was very comfortable and communication with them ahead of time was very responsive. The scenery is incredible and enjoying it from a private van with our family versus a tour bus was great. Pete was also great with our two boys and made the trip lots of fun for them. You will not regret booking this tour!

Acadia w/ Nathan is the best - Our tour guide Nathan was phenomenal. In addition to the tourist stops he took us to several off the beaten path areas of Acadia National Park. He was personable and had great stories about his journey in life to get him to Bar Harbor. Make sure you ask him about his worst guests. HILARIOUS!!!!!

Acadia National Park - Spend the extra money on a private tour! - Our family did a private tour and had Caleb has our tour guide. He was punctual, full of local history/information about Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and surrounding areas, and was extremely outgoing. It was well worth the money to go with the private tour. Having someone pick us up at our hotel and know exactly where to go, have all the necessary passes lined up and provide water and snacks to us throughout the trip was just an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Perfect family cruise excursion in Bar Harbor! - We had a wonderful tour with Caleb! He was incredibly friendly and patient with our group (which included a 6 month old and a 2 year-old). He even sang various Dora the Explorer songs for our 2 year-old! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and made sure we had a great time while learning about the area and seeing the highlights. I left feeling like we maximized our brief time in Acadia. I highly recommend this tour (especially Caleb)!

Good, Personal, expensive and less accommodating than expected - Overall very good however, expensive. We also didn't get the full three hours. It was cut short by about 25 minutes because we assume the difficulty getting off the cruise boat delayed our arrival. When you pay $650 we would expect gold standard care with accommodations for those who are a little late.
