“Ron was a wonderful guide for our tour of Acadia National Park. Due to the government shutdown we were concerned that the park would be closed. We were pleasantly surprised that it was open but were dissapointed that Cadillac Mountain was closed. Viewing Cadillac Mountain was one of the reasons we booked this tour. The park and the areas we saw were breathtaking! Ron had a nice sense of humor and kept us entertained as well imparting his knowledge of the area to us.I would highly reccomend Ron as a guide to anyon booking this tour.”
