Car was crowded and not conducive re a typical tour with a car microphone or headsets. Was expecting a more historical, interesting tour. While the tour guide was very friendly, she was tired (admitted by her) and frazzled and shared personal stories with some awkward comments to guests in car. We were all very respectful but very disappointed. In addition to providing very little factual insight on the trip, we opted to not have a lobster roll as part of the trip and she still had us pay for our two seltzer waters!The most memorable part of the tour was a small group of five, tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and the park views were great.
