Charlie was our favorite part. He answered our questions. Informative about the town and you can tell how passionate he is with his hometown. I appreciated Bar Harbor more after learning her history

I loved that the tour guide is a direct descendant of Bar Harbor founders. I loved hearing the history. We liked that Charlie used his iPad to show old photos.

This was a great tour. The tour guide was Charlie, descended from original settlers on the island. He had a great grasp of the history and shared it interestingly. He gave us samples of a local soft drink named Moxie and a local Candy.
