What To Expect
I believe, a local guide should provide an experience which brings you closer to Acadia than you would feel had you explored on your own. Acadia is brimming with a quiet, insistent magic. They named it for a paradise. They saved it at their own cost, so we could feel the effect of the light and hear the leaves singing. I will give more than a checklist of places or repeated stories. I'll share my home. Show you the Music of it.
I have been a tour guide in this area for years. I love the people who trained me and still recommend their tours. Recently, the time came to build something of my own to feel proud of here. I wanted even more flexibility to design perfect tours around the things that move me most. I expect the delight I take in this area will be contagious.
-My tours are all private to your group. The vans are comfortable and clean.
-You will have complete freedom as we explore, to adjust which stops we make, and how long we enjoy each location.

I enjoy sharing tours with children; you know their limits best: they will change your tour experience.
