My friend and I did this yesterday and we absolutely loved it! Our guide, Bill Thurston, was awesome! He was timely, had great energy and made the 4 hours fly by fast!! I loved the places he took us too—each spot somehow got even better and better. Bill gave us a great history of Acadia and the surrounding area and we thought this tour was a wonderful way to see Bar Harbor/Acadia in just a day. I’m also so grateful we did this in early/mid May since it wasn’t super crowded and the weather was insanely gorgeous. Highly recommend!!

At Your Service Tours provided us great customer service. My family was booking at the last moment due to our Mother's death. We weren't sure we we were going to be able to go on our cruise. But we were able to make it. I called as the website showed full. They were very gracious and said they would accommodate our party of 6 with the last tour of the season. This was very much appreciated as they didn't have to do that. They told us to call when we arrived at the dock and were prompt after our call. Our tour guide was very knowledgable . She had snacks and water for us. As we were going on our tour, she would ask if we wanted to spend more or less time at a site. The views were spectacular. Acadia National Park is breathtaking. Bar Harbor is a quaint town with little shops and restaurants. One of our favorite places. I very highly recommend At Your Service Tours.

Acadia National Park is beautiful. Pete was a wonderful guide on the tour. He is very knowledgeable about the area and knew the perfect places to stop for amazing views. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Pete was fabulous! At each stop, he walked to the best trail head to make sure we knew where to go for the best views. He had snacks and water for us in the van. He was very informative about the history of the park. On top of Cadillac Mountain, he offered to take a group photo with our camera. He made sure we were positioned to get a view included of our cruise ship down below in the harbor. It is a fabulous photo! Once back in Bar Harbor, he told us where some restaurants were to get good seafood and he dropped us off near two of them at the end of the trip. This company was great to work with because they helped us plan the beginning and the ending time of the trip based on the time it would take to tender back to the ship and still have time to walk around the shops at Bar Harbor. I would highly recommend booking this private tour over any of the tours offered by the cruise ship.

Our guide Bill was hilarious, he was so well informed and witty. We feel like we know all of the history and lots of the bar harbour gossip too! The views are sensational, we walked around the summit of Mt Cadillac and took some pictures that will be hung up at home keeping special memories alive forever. The foliage was stunning, the whole area is serene and Bill knew exactly where to bring us for the best views. We would highly recommend this company, the car was comfy the snacks lovely and Bill was brilliant x

What a wonderful experience with Bill, our tour guide. He was so informative & such a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this shore excursion to anyone. The fall leaves were so incredible and what a quaint little town we got to visit at the end of the tour. Simply lovely.
