What our guests are saying

We took the Acadia National Park tour on a Cruise stop in Bar Harbor. I am thankful that we had reservations because it was sold out by reservation only! That says a lot for a tour. The bus driver (Santos) was very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time. The views are spectacular from Cadillac Mountain and Santos gave us a ton of information about the area. I recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Bar Harbor.

Stories were wonderful. It was a great way to start our visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor

The tour was great!! A lot of history information was giving, we would have known all that if not for the tour. The tour guide was great!! Santo did an excellent job and made it fun!!

Rita Wallace

Tour leader had a ton of information and his presentation was fantastic --very knowledgeable -history and environment. We loved it and had a great time.

Curtis Schmid

This was a great tour! Our guide, Heather, was so knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned a lot in just a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Kim Woodbury

The Guide is knowledgeable, the price is right and the scenery is pretty, the pacing is correct, perfect 3hr tour, what more do you want. Ideal for shore excursion when you don't have that much time.

Debbie Blum

A phenomenal tour experience especially with our guide Heather. Thanks for this memorable experience

Donna M Diaz

Size of tour was perfect. The transportation was very comfortable. Our tour guide was a local, environmentalist, former national park employee who was enthusiastic about the park and extremely knowledgeable. Loved the history she shared with us.

Cheryl & Nile Luedtke

We really enjoyed the tour. The Park was magnificent and Mike was an incredible guide! His knowledge of the park and its history was amazing.

Jack Morgan

What a wonderful tour this was. We were happy that we booked this tour instead of cruise line tour. Great information about the area, the park, and what a fun ride. Beautiful vista views from the top of the park.

Yvonne Forbes

Leach From the time we called to make our reservation we were treated as family. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and quite funny. The tour was amazing!

This was a great tour! We learned a lot and got to see as many park highlights as possible in the short time we had. We went to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the Nature Center and wildflower garden, and Thunder Hole. It's such an amazing place and I can't wait to go back.

Jennifer Stachnik

Our tour guide Roger was excellent! He was extremely informative and entertaining! We would recommend these tours to everyone!

Morgan Reimers

This was a very comfortable tour with an excellent guide. We got to see the countryside, make some short (but just long enough) stops and even visit with some locals. The bus leaves from the center of town which is very convenient and it was fun to walk around Bar Harbor. And the price was worth every penny.

O9472VRjohns

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the bus stopped enough times to get the great fall leaves shots we were after. If you get back on the bus in good time, you'll have more time to see the sites down the road. If not, some of the spots will be cut short. Our times were adequate. The price for the tour was very reasonable and the driver was great.

Since we traveled a long distance to spend a week in the area, we wanted a guided tour to help us get the lay of the land to help us maximize our time. This tour certainly filled the bill. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, mingling local stories with history, interspersed with some terrible jokes that kept us groaning and laughing. I highly recommend it.

My husband and I were delighted to stumble upon this bus tour in Bar Harbor, that took us all the way to the top of Mt. Cadillac. Bus driver/tour guide Heather painted a colorful picture of life in Bar Harbor through her stories, jokes, and in-depth knowledge of the area, its history, and environment. And she gave us a discount coupon to Testa’s, where I had a tasty lobster roll (with garlic butter)!

Amazing tour of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The Female tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the island and the park. She made it a 10 Star tour!

This tour covers the entire National Park Tour Loop including Cadillac Mountain. The tour guide was very good. There was plenty of time at the stops. Be sure to reserve your tour online as it often sells out, especially when there are cruise ships in port. When we got our tickets the ticket agent gave us a coupon for Testa's Restaurant and we had an excellent lunch there. This tour is a very good value.

ChuckBrooks

We enjoyed this tour on our first full day and glad we did. We learned many things about the park we wouldn’t have found out otherwise. Our guide was funny and tailored the trip to our group. You will see the highlights of the park and get some great ideas on where you want to return to explore later. We thought it was worth the money.

Named Business of the Year by the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce!

"Jim was our tour guide. He was funny and experienced. I'm expected the tour company should included the tipping of his excellent services because we're paying $10.00 more per person on-line compared if I purchase right at the tour location on the same day we arrived."

"Took the 2 hour tour on a Friday afternoon. Our guide/driver was very good and knowledgeable regarding the park. Was able to answer our questions and keep the presentation lively. Would certainly recommend this tour company. Ticketing was easy. Good value for the price of the tour."

"Fred was great.. very knowledgeable he had information for the entire 4hrs tour. only issue was the fog that blocked the view from Cadillac Mtn. 30 min stop at 4 locations provided time to view and even get popover at Jordan Pond."

"Great tour which I would highly recommend! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and it was fun to hear all the background history and stories about the park. Trip was perfectly timed and the stops were amazing."

Our guests have rated us the #1 Private Tour company in Acadia National Park!

Thanks Sue! We had such a great time touring the area with you. You were fun, personable and knowledgable about the area. The van was in great shape. We felt safe and comfortable. We had a great time. She also recommended some good spots. Great service!

We were two couples that got off the ship, Grant was our driver and as we traveled we were given so much information about Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. With a private service we could stop for as long as we wanted to enjoy all the sights. Would highly recommend this company.

Our family of 7 (ages 10-79) took the half day tour with Paul on our recent trip to Bar Harbor on a cruise ship. He was able to take us to some fantastic locations (loved Bubble pond) and told us all about the history of the area. He is very enthusiastic about his hometown and we enjoyed the tour very much! I got some awesome photos and Paul gave us a great recommendation for a pizza lunch that my kids were craving!

We easily connected with our tour guide, Bill, upon disembarkation from our cruise ship's tender boat. My three sisters and I decided to book a private tour. Bill was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to places we would never have seen on our own or on a big tour bus. He took us all through Acadia NP and told us many stories of the area both past and present and made sure we were comfortable at all times.

We were a party of 6 and took their 3 hour Acadia National Park Tour after coming into Bar Harbor on the cruise ship. MJ, our driver was great and taylored our tour to the sights we wanted to see. Much more personalized option than taking an excursion tour bus filled with people. Would highly recommend this instead as you won't regret it. A+++ Thanks for showing us beautiful Acadia!!!!

MJ was extremely Knowledgeable and Entertaining! She was so accommodating and it was awesome because you knew she enjoyed her job and her home and wanted us to know as much as we could about Bar Harbor. This is one of our Most favorite vacations ever! The colors were like nothing we have ever seen, So Beautiful! I would recommend At Your Service Private Tours without any hesitation.

Met this group at the wharf on cruise ship visit. Mary P gave us great info as she drove us to Cadillac mountain including history and information on her family who had lived there many years. Clear view from the top made for a great trip. Dropped of in town with some tips on where to visit.

Grant did an unbelievable job, a wealth of knowledge and a total asset to At Your Service Private Tours. Our original guide did not show up and Grant graciously offered to take our group of 4. The Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain to Sandy Beach were phenomenal and Grant was a gem!!!!

We toured Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with your company. Linda, our driver and tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Don't waste your time by getting on a big tour bus. The van was perfect for our excursion. We highly recommend your company. Linda was awesome! Andy & Kelli

We (6 of us off a cruise ship) had a wonderful time with Bill touring Acadia National Park with Bill. A true Mainer, he had many colorful stories about the residents of Bar Harbor. His daughter baked us blueberry muffins for a morning snack! Acadia was beautiful in the fall, and we were able to stop at the highlight points. We then had delicious lobster rolls at Beal’s. We highly recommend this tour.

MJ was by far the best tour guide we have ever used! She picked up immediately what we were interested in seeing, kept track of time, provided unique stops away from crowds, and took us to a perfect place for lunch! One of our group members has limited mobility and she was very aware and helpful. 6 stars!!!

Our private tour was amazing. We went to the top of Cadillac Mountain (the view was magnificent!) and saw so many lovely places all over the Bar Harbor area. We even stopped at a bakery for the yummiest donuts and coffee! Thank you for our fantastic trip - can't wait to get our pictures back.

A group of six of us (three couples) were in Bar Harbor as part of a Holland America ship cruise. We signed up independently for a five hour tour and Bill was our tour guide. We saw all of the highlights of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park that we'd read about before-hand and Bill was an encyclopedia of knowledge about the area and very willing to share his knowledge.

We took a Fall Foliage cruise of New England and Canada and by far this private tour I book outside the ship tours was the best. Jeff was very personable and had alot of history of the island. Top group comments were "we loved the beaver lesson" and "mice with ears!"
