Beautiful but crowded - Gorgeous! Many different views throughout Acadia National Park. Peak season gets a lot of visitors. Until mid-afternoon, you can have a lot of difficulty finding parking in the park. Lots of traffic too.

Hike Acadia Nat'l Park with Road Scholar+ Coastal Kayaking Tours and Smile all the way!! - Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park are awesome and the folks who live and work there during "the season" know it and love to share! Road Scholar teams up with Coastal Kayaking to offer great hikes ( not too easy-not too hard- just right) fun, in depth talks about Maine, Bar Harbor, visonary "Mr. Dorr', the Lobstermen ) (women) and of course Acadia National Park. I had a blast. Kind, helpful, caring "guides" exude a vibe of "happiness" that is infectious. Yummy food-blueberry pie, overstuffed sammies, local ice cream galore! Shout out to Glenn Tucker ( Head of Coastal and a masterful storyteller) big props to Ellen, Alan and the "young kids" who 'babysat" us so wonderfully. So much to see, learn, do .....just go. I can't wait to return!

A small group in a van is the way to go! - We enjoyed the tour in the van. Our guide made extra stops to insure we could take in the beautiful scenery. The lobster roll was delicious and a welcome addition to end our adventure.

Beautiful area with fabulous scenery. - Enjoyed this tour but would have been better with a local instead of guide that had only spent a few weeks in the area. Guide tried hard to accommodate everyone so that was a big plus.

Not the best day. - Had a fairly new tour guide, Dan, who started off the morning texting me and asking to call him because he was going to be a little late. Once we were picked up we had to drive around to find the other couple that we were going with. Finally we started our tour and for the most part it was a good day. Up until the end when we were supposed to get a lobster roll for lunch, but the place had no lobster left. Ended up with no lobster roll, but wife got sweatshirt as a souvenir to cover loss of lobster roll.

Disappointed tour In beautiful Acadia. - Acadia National Park was beautiful with all of the fall colors. Our guide Danny however was not the best. He was not from the area, and shared way too much personal information. His driving was also very bad and frightened us. He did not pay attention to the road and was just a bad driver. He shared that he didn’t own a car so he doesn’t drive very often. After the tour I wished I had just done a self guided tour. Overall the tour was very expensive and not personalized.
