Never heard from them. They were supposed to pick me up at Hotel. The Covid19 lockdown went in effect while I was traveling to Honolulu. I want my money back. I never heard from them.

Giovanni Mazzarella was our CCA (Certified Culinary Aficionado) and he was AWESOME! He had a great attitude from the moment he picked us up to the moment he dropped us off! He had a smile the entire day; he had an answer for every question; he had a napkin for every bite; he was on top of EVERYTHING throughout the entire day! We would highly recommend this food tour as we learned a ton, ate the best food and had a blast making great memories in Honolulu!!!! 10 out of 10! We would 100% go back! H

For foodies and normal people. Great sampling of enormous variety of Asian and Hawaiian cuisine. In addition FUN and interesting overview of Honolulu

Our tour guide, Gio, is warm, entertaining, and ingenious. He has outfitted a cart and shoulder bag to provide everything a patron could need while travelling around Honolulu exploring the food scene. We started with a breakfast treat like no other. During our time together, we had a good balance of drives in the van and walking stops. Along the way, many people greeted Gio as if he were family. Personally, my favorite was the spiced pineapple (we bought some of the spice to bring home). M

I have traveled to the Hawaiian Islands several times (please see my previous reviews) and this cultural/food tour was definitely, unquestionable a highlight of my trips to Hawaii. Our expert guide/Chef Gio was worth the whole price you pay for admission. This man was so crafty and personable and his energy... has given him the nick-name "mayor" of Honolulu's exotic Chinatown by it's merchants, which he expertly navigates you though like no other could. We tasted delicacies from several stops a

Geo was very pleasant and knowledgeable. As far as the tour we did not enjoy it. We missed the last 2 stops because we were a little uncomfortable of the area we were in. It did not smell good, we saw a rat on the Main Street drinking water. The tour was mainly Chinese food in Chinatown. Our guide sent us off on our own while he ate lunch. I have been on quite a few food tours but did not enjoy this one. Pro’s - Geo taught us a lot about Chinese history in Hawaii. Con’s - you will be on your

Gio was an amazing tour guide. He didn't just provide us with cold waters and the food on the stops but brought fresh items from his garden, fresh fruits from he market stalls and even homemade soursop sorbet for us to try! Friendly and easy-going with a wealth of information about the combination of many Asian cuisines to form Hawaii's unique food culture, Gio made 3 stops on our tour : 1. Manapau (filled buns, mostly steamed buns with either pork or chicken) 2. Chinatown with about 30 min ti

Gio was a great tour guide. We learned so much about Hawaiian food and culture. Gio was very prepared and knew everybody along the way. The tour went without a hitch. We really enjoyed all the different types of foods. Gio was very accommodating and had all the right equipment and materials to make it a successful day. The van was brand new and air-conditioned, and he had parking spots all lined up. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

We just finished the food tour and loved it! Gio was personable, informative, and ensured that everyone had a great time. We loved the foods selected and the engaging backstories that enhanced the experience. Great trip!

My husband and I took Hawaii Food Tours walking and driving tour Honolulu. This Hole in the Wall tour included some great treats: manapua, malasadas, noodles, dim sum, poke, cream puffs, fresh fruit, apple-banana lumpia, pork belly, chow fun noodles, spices, and even dried fruit. A good bit of the tour centers in Chinatown with some history and drive by sight seeing in Honolulu. This is a small group tour with an air conditioned van. Our guide was Gio and we were very impressed with his organiza

Gio has our food ambassador/tour guid for a very fast four hour adventure into the Honolulu food scene. The tour van was very comfortable with pick up and delivery at local hotels (we live here so in was a short walk for us). Gio provided both food insights and a bit of local history was we made our way around Honolulu (Kaka'ako, Chinatown and Liliha. The variety and taste contrasts were great. We will be recommending this tour to all of our out of town visitors. At the end though Gio's pe
