Testimonials
Pete was our driver for a great 4 hour tour of Acadia National Park. Definitely worth a tour on this great little island. Pete was very informative and gave us time to get out of the van and walk along the water and the trails in Acadia. Would definitely recommend this tour if visiting Bar Harbor.
Pete was really the perfect guide—friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. We felt safe & comfortable the whole day (learned tons of great info about Maine too). Booking a private tour w/him made everything so easy & stress-free. Highly recommend if you want a fun, smooth, and memorable Bar Harbor experience!
Pete was amazing—super organized, full of local insight, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. We saw so much more than we would have on our own, without the hassle of planning or driving. Can’t recommend his tour enough!
Did the private tour with Pete ~ was absolutely fabulous! He’s professional, so knowledgeable, but mostly, our day was so enjoyable!! We learned a ton & thank him so much for sharing his passion & knowledge about Maine! Again: HIGHLY RECOMMEND (awesome snacks too)
We had a six hour tour with our host... Great job considering the family ages and interest. It was a good introduction to MDI for the start of our week long stay.
Pete was an amazing guide: informative, engaging, fun... We would request Pete's expertise to anyone looking for a great 6 hour tour of Acadia National Park
Our group of 12 (affectionately dubbed by Pete, the Queen's Crew) toured Acadia... Pete was fantastic, knowledgeable, considerate and entertaining. We will be back to tour the fall foliage with Pete in the future.
Fantastic tour! Our guide was super informative & fun; provided detailed insight + we all got to see more in four hours than we ever would going off on our own. Highly recommend the tour! Was a great Maine day =)
Pete was amazing - knowledgeable and kind. We had a rainy day (cool fog) & yet we still had an amazing time! He made the tour so fun & educational too
Pete was a fabulous guide and a wealth of information... Our vehicle was comfortable, Pete brought along bottled water and took us to a fabulous spot for lunch. Our group of 6 would absolutely do this tour again.
