Awesome experience - A.J. was awesome. Because of heavy rain, we were unable to go to Acadia National Park. Due to his great knowledge of the area, he was able to fill our day by taking us to gorgeous, quaint towns in Coastal Maine. He took us to the botanical gardens and everyone in our group greatly enjoyed it He is an awesome tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Would choose again and again. Very special experience - We honestly had the best time ever. Our guide AJ catered to our every need. He was so knowledgeable. He took all our pictures so we could enjoy every place we visited. I would choose to go on the tour again and again and will recommend to anyone coming to Maine. He took all the stress and worry out of our trip and made us feel special on our 20th anniversary. You cannot go wrong choosing this tour and this guide.

A must-see within Acadia National Park in Maine is Cadillac Mountain - Loved visiting Cadillac Mountain that is located within Acadia National Park. This is the rist place in all of the US to be touched by the sun's rays every morning for a certain part of the year. AJ our tour guide who is with Globe Trekkers and his brother Dennis was the BEST!

Phenomenal!!!! - AJ was phenomenal!!! We had the pleasure of having AJ as our guide on Saturday, September 2nd. He was incredibly nice and patient. He took us on our adventure through Maine, including the swinging bridge, the tallest public bridge and up to Cadillac mountain. I mention these because I am extremely afraid of heights. He was very empathetic to my plight and always made sure I was doing okay -- even when my kids (adult kids, but my kids nonetheless) ventured beyond my own comfort zone for them. He even went out of his way and drove us to Stephen King's house on our way back...even provided a prop for the "just in case he is home and comes out"...He provided a good amount of snacks and drinks and his recommendation of Route 66 in Bar Harbor was on-point. Fantastic all around is what we have to say about AJ. Kudos to Dennis for giving us AJ as our guide. Thank you again. -- Sandra (mom), Kailene, and Julian

Dissatisfied - What a disappointing experience ! I knew we were in trouble when our guide arrived to pick us up in a little tiny Prius for a 2 hour ride to Acadia ( a very rough ride in the backseat). There were what I think were animal scratches on the inside passenger doors, animal hair, dirty windows and the smell was not pleasant. Our guide was nice but because the car was so noisy and he was very hard of earring it was hard to hear what he was saying and he couldn’t hear what we were asking him. We were suppose to have a lobster dinner included which he keep insisting that we do when we got back to Portland not sure why because I thought the point was to have it somewhere on our trip route. Never did have dinner because we got back so late. For the amount of money this private trip cost the transportation provided and the guide requirements need to step it up.
