home-mom Posted September 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I reserved a 4 hour tour through MDI tours. I will highly recommend this company!!! We were a party of 6 and were met at the pier by a driver (the owner's son Evan) with my name on a sign. He drove us straight to Acadia National Park (in a roomy suburban). Due to the extremely foggy weather, we had very limited views and were not allowed to drive to Cadillac Mountain, however Evan said he would show us other areas instead. First we saw Sand Beach Then Thunder Hole. We couldn't hear it as the tide was in, but it was neat to see anyway. Then we drove to Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, around the Somes Sound past Echo Lake and Southwest Harbor down to Bass Harbor Head lighthouse. There was a trail leading down either side of the lighthouse and Evan walked them both with us. Next we drove us to Tremont and Seal Cove before heading off the island to Trenton. We then returned to town where Evan dropped 4 of us off at Side Street Cafe (we asked about lobster rolls and this was his recommendation) he dropped the other 2 off at Fabrications (a quilt/scrapbook store). Although this roll was very good, it was decided the one at Eventide in Portland was liked more. Evan was a wonderful guide. He did give the typical history type info, but he added his own perspective as a local which we loved and found more interesting than the history of the area. He discussed daily life, what the locals think of their more famous residents such as Martha Stewart :rolleyes: and the Rockefellers :hearteyes: and when the kids asked about their favorite sport of hockey he showed them the pond the locals play on when it freezes. We shopped our way back to the ship. The town was lovely and very easy to walk. We fell in love with Bar Harbor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdowskma Posted September 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Nice review. Do you have the website? What was the charge per hour? Was the tour 1pm to 5pm? Did they get back to the ship with plenty of time to tender back to the ship? Edited September 29, 2017 by cdowskma I had more questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last tender was 4:15 I believe, so we had plenty of time. It was $70 an hour. mditours.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
