Bar Harbor's dedication to historic preservation means that many spaces are small buildings with narrow doorways and some stairs. This tour also brings you through the cemetery at St. Savior's which does not have access by wheelchair.
We're a family friendly tour, all ages are welcome, but it is ideally suited for adults. We encourage small or collapsible strollers to fit inside many partners.
We love dogs, but legally our partners are not allowed to have pets enter their premises unless they're certified service dogs. Join us on one of our Doggy & Me Tours!

The guides here really make or break the experience, and fortunately most travelers rave about their personalities and expertise. Tyler brings Portland's history to life on walking tours, while AJ wins people over with her humor and local recommendations. Ray and Timothy both get praise for their knowledge and storytelling abilities, though opinions vary on pacing. The oyster and bubbles boat tour sounds particularly special, with a master shucker guiding you through Portland's oyster scene. Tours cover both Portland and Bar Harbor locations, with options ranging from history walks to culinary experiences. Food portions generally satisfy guests, with most leaving pleasantly full from stops featuring lobster rolls, chowder, and other Maine staples. A few travelers felt the tours spent too much time on guide monologues rather than diving into building histories or meeting restaurant owners. The occasional complaint surfaces about pacing or wanting more variety in stops. Overall though, visitors appreciate getting a solid introduction to Portland's food scene and Old Port area, especially from guides who clearly love their city and know where locals actually eat.
Pete was a great guide. Very knowlegeable and the food was fantastic.
