An affordable and informational short tour of the area

It was a comfortable and scenic trip. I enjoyed the history and the stops. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I took the tour at the end of my stay in the area. I would recommend to take this tour at the beginning of your stay. This way you will have more information about Bar Harbor and Acadia, to explore on your own later.

Enjoyed the trip. Maybe a little less history lesson and more time to just look.
