Fun and knowledgeable - Our tour guide Sarah was perfect for our group of 13. She took us everywhere we wanted to go and everywhere we didn’t know we wanted to go. We had a beautiful weather day and had great view from Cadillac Mtn, Thunder Hole was awesome. Sarah took us to Beal’s for a lobster lunch and we were lucky enough to see a lobster boat come in and the lobstermen were great to talk to. Thank you Sarah.

Acadia Park and lighthouse - Acadia tour was awesome. I was able to see and learn about the culture and historic tidbits of Maine that I would never have known if it weren’t for Pete…the best tour guide!!! He was funny, and so compassionate to some of his less mobile participants. He knew so much about the local area, and many other facts about National Park history. He was so engaging and made the day wonderful. It’s a must do!

Acadia at its best - Our tour guide, Pete, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and took us to every spot we wanted. He also took us to some spots, that most visitors don’t get to see. The lobster roll, at Beals, was the best we had on the whole trip.

Bill Thurston is the best guide ever! - We had a spectacular time with our very knowledgeable guide, Bill Thurston. Bill’s knowledge of Bar Harbor, Acadia, and the surrounding areas is unmatched. We especially loved our fresh lobster lunch at a local restaurant. Bravo to Bill for making this trip one we will never forget.

Great Day in Arcadia - **Acadia National Park Tour** Had a great 6-hour tour of Acadia National Park with Bill Thurston from At Your Service Tours. Bill shared interesting stories about the park's history and the people who helped establish it. The tour was informative and enjoyable, offering beautiful views and engaging narratives. If you're interested in a knowledgeable guide for your park visit, Request Bill Thurston from At your Service Tours in Bar Harbor. #AcadiaNationalPark #ParkTour #Nature
