This was a spur of the moment decision, and we did the second loop that took us around the whole of the island. Informative and easy to use, with a fun “guide.” I’m looking forward to doing more of these tours!

It was amazing! Loved hearing the narration and learning about each spot. Also loved that we weren’t rushed and could stop where we wanted to and skip where we wanted to! Would highly recommend!

This is an awesome tour! So good we bought two more for our trip through New Hampshire and Vermont. Lots of information and entertaining

The tour guidance was a lot better than I expected, well worth the small amount we paid for the audio. Voice was very clear, popped up at the right ime as we passed each point. The idea of enjoying learning about the park in the priviacy of our car was a great way to do a quick tour of the area when we had only one day to drive around.

This inexpensive program lets you tour independently at your own pace. It is accurate and the narrator’s stories make the information more relatable and interesting.

All of us enjoyed the narration. Interesting stories about Acadia park and its history. Will use the app at other national parks

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Bought it for the Acadia loop but drove both loops. Loved the second loop, Mount Desert Island, even more than Acadia NP. Interesting stories, spot-on food recommendations (loved Abel's for lobster). Downloaded the app and tour before leaving home, worked seamlessly, picked us up as soon as we got to Hull's Cove. GPS was great, comments were always perfectly timed with the drive. Linked to the vehicle by Bluetooth, everyone in the vehicle heard the commentary.

Location services inconsistent inside park. Had to manually restart app multiple times. Information good when worked . Not as reliable as other apps I have used in past.

Great app with a very entertaining narrator. We downloaded the app and it worked on our Apple Car Play and utilized GPS through out the two loops. The narrator would begin within plenty of time of turns and stops and offered great suggestions of what to expect. Made navigating busy weekend on the Island so much more manageable. Our favorite part was the ‘quieter loop’ which took you to the other parts of the island. We even utilized the app for finding places while not on the tour loop. Best 20 bucks we spent at Bar Harbor.

The self guided tour was awesome! So much information provided and going at your own pace was priceless. Will do these tours for other parks in the future!
