5.00Our guide was very informative. He was up beat and entertaining. He stops at high interest locations, and slows down and will stop if at asked and he is able to. This was our first time to the Acadia National Park. It is breathtaking and well worth every penny for the historical information given by the guide.
Fun Tour of Acadia
