I would highly recommend this tour. It was gorgeous and the ebikes allowed us to really venture around the park with our amazing tour guide, Marty. She was fabulous, personable and knowledgeable. She took us to some amazing sights that we may have not found on our own on the carriage trails and the bridal trail(very tranquil)!!!!Marty was a great guide. Tiding bikes through the carriage roads where you don’t have to worry about cars was wonderful. And the scenery and changing leaves were really special. Highlight of our trip for sure!

It was a beautiful Autumn day. The guide Marty was very informative & showed us some special places that were both natural & man made. A few times, we parked our bikes and walked to really special spots. The E-bike made the 20+ mile ride easy for moderately fit people. If you have already driven Acadia Park Loop, this is a GREAT way to see the rest of Acadia! Unfortunately, we didn’t know until the night before that the starting point was at Acadia Visitor Center (2.5 miles from the cruise terminal) and we had to make arrangements to get there. No taxis nor Uber service in Bar Harbor in the morning. We walked to the park and had a very kind couple from our group take us back to Bar Harbor.Our guide, Marty, was a great part of our positive experience. She had safety as her first priority. She took us to some of her favorite stops and a loop that we both enjoyed to the max. She shared history as well as facts about the park, the bridges, etc. We had a marvelous day of weath...
Our guide, Marty, was a great part of our positive experience. She had safety as her first priority. She took us to some of her favorite stops and a loop that we both enjoyed to the max. She shared history as well as facts about the park, the bridges, etc. We had a marvelous day of weather. Our only drawback is for others to really understand the power of the Ebikes if you have not ridden before - AND the importance of avoiding skidding out on the gravel roads. We are experienced riders and were totally concerned for those who had not even ridden bikes since they were children! Our TREK Ebikes at home are opposite of the models chosen by this company. My bike seat moved down on me as I rode. The speed lurched and stopped rather than maintained the speed or level I was on. That in itself, was a danger. It is in the best interest of the company and patrons to have stronger model of bikes and provide more than 5 minutes of orientation to the bike before everyone takes off on their own. We could not be more pleased that we chose to be with Marty as a guide. She was a delight all the way.....The park was full of color and totally enjoyable every minute we spent in the park.
