Wonderful Acadia Park - Sand Beach and Lincoln Mountain were beautiful! The guided tour was great. Very organized. Just at the beginning we did not know how to start it. We couldn’t connect it to the car.

Easy to follow - The tour was easy to follow had some great information about the history of the park. We did it a little out of order and it was easy to regroup and start where we left off. Enjoyed the freedom to visit the park as we wished instead of being on a tour would definitely suggest. Definitely start the tour early or later in the afternoon as lines to get into the park. Do you get very long? And this was the end of May.

Fabulous audio tour - This is a fabulous tour! You stop whenever and wherever you want and the audio stops too. Once you start again it picks up! It’s also very informative as opposed to just driving with no content.

Doesn’t work..don’t buy! - The program didn’t load on WiFi to an iPhone 11 and Park Rangers at Acadia knew nothing about it. You are just throwing your money away if you buy it so don’t buy it. Just get a map at the visitor center and same your money for lunch. Do not buy!!! To make the minimum I say again do not buy this program it will not work.
