Beautiful drive thru a masterpiece of nature; definitely an item off of my bucket list. Gorgeous scenery

The tour was basically okay. On several occasions, the dialogue did not coordinate with the location. This, I can tell there was nothing about bar harbor in this, even though it says there was.

Works very well and love that it is on your own timeline! The download went well. Also love that it works when you are not in the best mobile service. We did both Acadia and Bar Harbor.

We loved the audio guide and the app was easy to use. We loved it that the tour would pick up at any point where there were any points of interest around. Stories were engaging and educational, and we enjoyed the overall experience. Thank you!

This purchase was a great value because you get the driving tour for the Acadia Park Loop, ocean path walking tour in the park, walking tour of Bar Harbor, and the driving tour of Mt. Desert island. We did all but the ocean path walk. All tours were easy to use and the technology worked well whether we were driving or walking. All were very informative and added to our first visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia by helping us understand the history, geology, and high points of this beautiful part of the US.

The audio tour of Acadia NP is a great way to see and learn about the park at your own pace in your own car. We would use it again on other trips.

It was a very nice tour. Gave lots of good info and worked perfectly. We recommend this self-tour very much.

We loved being able to go at our own pace and it was very informative and convenient. You can break up the areas however it works best for you.

We downloaded the app and trips as instructed. All worked well and very helpful. The tour progressed automatically as you reached the next point of interest on the map. You could pause as needed as well. Easy to use.

excellent way to experience Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor Maine. Loved how easy app was to use and the info given. You can pause app at any point if you want to stop at the sights, continues where you left off. Had one slight hiccup, each time we restarted, my pandora came on, just had to close it out and tour started again. Highly recommend if you don't want to miss anything
