Our guide was wonderful ~! Knew his history. Inserted a picture to remember my experience. Arrive earlier…if the bus fills early…they’ll leave earlier. Not always done, but we were lucky.
OUTSTANDING Tour of Acadia with Ronny (ie)!

Our Premium Narrated Bus Tour of Acadia National Park was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Ronny, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the park’s history, geology, and wildlife. His storytelling brought every stop to life — from the breathtaking views on Cadillac Mountain to the peaceful charm of Jordan Pond. What really stood out was Ronny’s ability to balance fun and facts — we learned so much while laughing along the way. He also made sure everyone felt comfortable, answered all our questions, and even shared a few local tips for the rest of our stay. The bus was clean, comfortable, and the schedule allowed plenty of time for photos and exploring. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Maine. If you want to experience Acadia National Park in a way that’s both relaxing and enriching, this is the one to book — and if you’re lucky enough to get Ronny as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!

This was a comprehensive and extensive tour of Bar Harbor and the Acadia National Park. Our tour guide, Ronald, clearly had a complete knowledge of the region’s history and main attractions. He also gave numerous humorous stories. This tour was well worth the 3.5 hours! We would highly recommend!!
Awesome Tour

This was a great tour of Acadia. It was our first time there so it really gave us a great overview of the park and we felt like we got to see the iconic areas of the park. We really appreciated all of the history and stories the guide shared along the way. He was knowledgeable. We also appreciated not having to worry about parking and navigating through the park. It was nice to sit back and just go along for the bus ride. The complimentary water was a very nice touch. The only negative was I wish the tour were a bit longer (maybe 4 hours instead of 3.5 hrs) so we could have stayed at each location a little longer. I know the guide did the best he could. The tour definitely left us wanting to go back to the park and see even more. Thank you!

Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide. Rob was excellent! We were nervous about catching the last tender to our cruise ship and Rob made sure we did and even dropped us a little closer to the pier. He was very knowledgeable about the area and pointed out many interesting things. The booking staff were also friendly and accommodating. Comfortable bus, nice small group.
