An unforgettable day! - We had an amazing, unforgettable day with Asher. Our party was not experienced hikers, that said, Asher’s expertise in hiking allowed us to hike Beehive, Goreham Mountain, Hunter’s Beach, Jordan Pond, and Bubble Rock in one day. Asher asked us if we wanted to squeeze in Bubble Rock at the end of the day where most tour guides would have ended the tour at the scheduled time. Asher also planned an amazing lunch for us in the most beautiful spot. While we dined on our delicious lunch, we saw bald eagles engaging in a death spin with a hawk and then flying off over the mountains. It was a once in a lifetime scene. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or not, this will make the most of your time at Acadia. We’ll never forget the day we spent with Asher.

An amazing day with Asher. - What an amazing day. Asher is full of enthusiasm and energy and showed us places we would not have found on our own. Her in depth knowledge of the flora and fauna in the area and archaeological history was incredible. She even provided a picnic for us concentrating on sourcing food locally. We highly recommend taking this tour with Asher and learning so much about Acadia National Park.

The guide you would wish for every trip - Asher did a fantastic job showing us every aspect of Acadia— spent 10 hours with us. Navigated and dodged the end of summer crowds at Acadia. They curated the trip to our interests and activity level perfectly and was informative. As wildlife devotees we got to hike in every MDI ecosystem: saw seals, pileated woodpecker, cedar waxwings, beaver dams and lodges—and they gave us great tips for dining and more hikes the next day. Have had a lot of guides in our national parks and Asher is one of the best. Recommend highly for a tailored experience with a delightful guide. Expensive but worth it.

Great Park Tour from a Fantastic Guide - This is a fabulous tour that gets you to all of the highlights within beautiful Acadia! Asher was an incredible tour guide and customized a multi-generational family tour for us, and everyone enjoyed it. Asher is so friendly and knowledgeable and just an overall pleasure to spend the day with. We highly recommend this tour, and especially Asher! Asher is also so knowledgeable about the entire area and shares lots of local tips…the hikes and restaurant recommendations from a trusted source like Asher have taken the guesswork out of the remainder of our vacation!

The Best Way to see Acadia - We had Asher for a tour guide through Acadia. They were very knowledgeable about the park and shared that knowledge with keen enthusiasm. Asher happily adapted the tour for my older parents, my sibling, and me. Asher was friendly and funny and their love of Acadia and the outdoors shined through in the way they shared history and information about the places we visited. I would highly recommend Good Trip Adventures and specifically Asher as a guide. I can’t wait to come back and have Asher take me up Cadillac Mountain at sunrise!

Acadia national park tour with Asher - My family and I had a wonderful experience with Asher! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to be around. We had children ranging from ages 9 through 15 and she made an effort to connect with each of them. We highly recommend her for any guided tours! She went above & beyond our expectations (& gave great tips for local spots to check out during our trip to Maine!) If you’re planning on visiting Acadia ask for Asher!

Solo traveler? Go for it! - I had had Acadia National Park at the top of my to-go list for years, and I wanted to make it happen this year no matter what. I signed up for a group tour, knowing that I wouldn't have the time or energy to come up with an itinerary on my own, and I am so glad I had done that. It has been a week since I came back from my trip to Acadia, and I am still dreaming of it! My group tour was led by Asher, who knew so many cool spots (I literally cried out "coooool!" once every five minutes) and was so knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and rock formations that the already-cool spots like Schoodic Point just by the amazing scenery itself turned into a site to investigate (I may have spent at least 15+ min per "rock pool"). The "Dora the Explorer" in me definitely had lots of moments to live and enjoy. If you are contemplating whether you should sign up for this trip as a solo traveler, definitely go for it! You won't regret it.

Great time, great guide - We wanted to do Acadia but wanted to do it with a guide and not be part of a larger group. This checked the box on all of it. Our guide, Kiki, was awesome. From picking us up at our hotel, to the plan for the day and her fantastic and fun personality. She knew the park very well and pointed out sites/stories/specific plants, which added to the experience. Our lunch was great and after the hiking, very needed. There was ample flexibility to what we wanted. Case in point we drove a bit out of the way to find the best blueberry in Maine. Along with great other sweet treats. Highly recommended the guide service and Kiki.
