A local experience - This showed us a part of Honolulu that we probably would not have seen otherwise. Our tour guide, Victor, was super knowledgeable and brought us to places in the community that he visited as a kid. This is the kind of local knowledge that we didn't necessarily get on the other tours we took on our trip. We learned a lot and ate a lot of delicious food!!

The Best Food Tour!! - This truly was the highlight of our trip to Oahu! This was my husband and my first food tour and we came away with the bat bring dry high for any other tours in the future! Our guide Victor was so knowledgeable kind and personable! He gave us great knowledge on cooking processes, history and culture. Then if that wasn’t enough we were stuffed with food!!! STUFFED!! We tried over 15 different things, from fruits and sweets to meats and seafood! And we’re not talking about one tiny bite either!!! Be smart and DONT EAT ANYTHING BEFORE YOU GO! This was well worth the money and time! Thank you Victor!

Best thing I've done in Hawaii - ***Foodie Alert*** If you are a foodie, especially if you love asian cuisine, this is the tour for you!! Victor was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond making an incredible guide. Each local spot had fresh and flavorful offerings that anyone could enjoy. Then a few additional bites for adventurous eaters like myself. GO HUNGRY!! The portions are massive, so be sure to bring a bag to bring home all the leftovers. This tour was a steal at the price and I truly could not recommend it enough. Hoping to come back for a visit in a year or so and honestly, I plan to do this tour again!

Sensational! - Victor was an exceptional host, friendly and charming. He took us to a part of town where we would never have been brave enough to order the foods that we had. Meats, fish, fruits & sweets - each amazing. We were so full by the end - definitely don’t have breakfast before this tour!! This really was off the beaten track, if you like food - I highly recommend this tour.

#1 Food Tour - This BY FAR was the BEST food tour, guided or not, that I’ve been a part of. Victor, the owner and tour guide, is phenomenal!! Extremely knowledgeable about the island, patient and attentive to the entire group. Victor took us to food places that I wouldn’t even think about to visit because they were “Off The Beaten Path.” There were over 12 different food samples and each one was delicious! Book this food tour ASAP, it’s an experience that you will not forget! THANK YOU VICTOR!!
