5.00Had such a wonderful tour! Jeff was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to places we would never have explored on our own and even deviated from the planned lunch spot to take us somewhere we had not already been to which was fabulous! Thank you Jeff!

5.00The tour exceeded our expectations. Dana was an amazing guide. She is knowledgeable and shared great facts and details about each of the places we visited. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Dana even helped us map out the rest of our trip. Lunch at Beal’s was delicious and a great atmosphere. We highly recommend the tour and Dana.
Great experience

5.00This tour is the best way to see Acadia and Bar Harbor! Our tour provided the most comfortable and informative experience. We were able to ride along while Bill, a true lifetime local, narrated everything perfectly! Lunch at Beal’s was the cherry on top. Bill made sure our time on Mount Desert Island was truly memorable!
The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Would do again

5.00Had a great time with my family. The tour guide was local and knowledgeable. We learned the history of many places. It was a great way to get a preview of sights we wanted to visit in depth later.
Amazing Tour & Tour Guide!

5.00We booked the 6-hour Acadia tour with At Your Service and are so thankful we did! Dana was amazing! She was personable and made us feel comfortable right away. Throughout the tour, she shared with us the history and her knowledge of the park and surrounding areas, along with personal stories of her time in Maine (which we all very much enjoyed)! A huge plus is we didn't have to worry about parking or navigating through the crowds (it was quite busy!) - and we experienced more than we would have had we been on our own. We had a delicious lunch at Beal's Lobster Pier where Dana went the extra step and shared with us some of her favorite spots in Bar Harbor. I highly recommend this tour - it was one of the highlights of our vacation. And ask for Dana!! She was fantastic!!

5.00we had a great time! The trip was fantastic and Caleb was amazing! He was friendly and knowledgeable and knew so much about the area. Our kids were entertained the entire time (which is not easy to do for six hours). I would highly recommend anyone visiting the area to go on this tour! Lunch was totally worth it, best lobster rolls we had on our vacation.
Great overview of Acadia

5.00Tim gave us a great comprehensive overview of Acadia, pointing out many things that only locals would know about. This included unique beaches, scenic vistas and general overview of the area. We took this tour at the start of our vacation and feel confident we will have a great visit at Acadia based on the information/insights we gained.
