Great tour guide - Acadia's a beautiful place and if you need to do it in a compressed time frame - a tour guide is the best way to go. I travel a lot and I usually book a tour. Asher is one of the best. Her passion for the details come through. It's not just a job for her.

A perfect day in Acadia - We had Asher on our day trip around Acadia. They knew the park like the back of their hand. It was an amazing time for my mom and me. We both loved learning as much as we could about the history of the park and its nature. We would highly recommend asking if Asher is available for your tour. Having Asher made it all the better. They were very adaptable to our skill level and tailored the day perfectly. They also took some amazing photos of my mom and me which added a lot.

Outstanding Birthday Adventure with Asher in Bar Harbor! - Celebrating my birthday with my husband and parents turned into an incredible adventure thanks to Asher and Good Tour Adventure. From the moment Asher welcomed us, it was clear we were in for something special. Asher's friendly, genuine approach immediately made us feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead.
We did two beautiful hikes, each offering stunning views and unique scenery that only someone as passionate as Asher could highlight. What made the experience truly memorable was Asher’s deep knowledge of the area—Asher shared fascinating stories about the local wildlife, geology, and history that brought each stop to life. Asher’s tips and insights made the hikes engaging and fun for all of us, regardless of our hiking experience.
We wrapped up the tour at Cadillac Mountain, and the view was absolutely breathtaking—a perfect ending to a perfect day. It felt like a personalized celebration, surrounded by nature’s beauty, with Asher making sure we enjoyed every moment.
This experience exceeded all our expectations. Asher’s warmth, expertise, and genuine love for the outdoors made my birthday truly special. I can’t recommend Good Tour Adventure and Asher enough for anyone looking to explore Bar Harbor in a way that’s both beautiful and meaningful.

Wonderful tour and guide - This is a must do tour. Our guide Ash was absolutely fantastic. She made us all feel like family from her first smile and asking all about the 6 of us. Her knowledge of the park and history came so naturally you would have thought this young woman had lived there her whole life! When she spoke, nothing sounded like a "memorized speech" at each stop. She also knew so much more than just the history, stopping at plants and trees explaining the differences. Ash showed us the different kinds of kelp, differences in rock formations and color and how they were formed. It appeared she had degrees as a naturalist, botanist, marine biologist, and geologist which she did not, but certainly studied all these areas extensively. Ash truly made Acadia come alive for all of us. On a scale of 10, Ash was an 11, so as for her if possible!! She was a true gem.

Wonderful way to explore Acadia National Park! - Our naturalist guide Hailey was excellent! She was so informative and passionate about explaining what we were experiencing from local history, geology, flora and fauna in the park. She was very personable and answered our many questions that made it a fun filled day including selecting an amazing lunch spot. A good balance of hiking versus touring in the van. Met wonderful traveling companions. Highly recommended. Only criticism is the high price and no cancellation policy.
