If legit history is your jam, this Tour can't be beat (for the price...and quality of content) - Susan (my guide today) was a delight. Exactly what I hoped to find for a bite-sized hunk of Hawai'i's amazing history. Miles beyond worth the price. Tip heavily. They deserve it.

Great way to learn more about the history of the Hawaiian islands. - I give this review 5 stars. Our tour guide, Susan, was a wealth of knowledge and had a most enthusiastic and energetic manner in which she delivered the information. My knowledge around the history of the Hawaiian islands has certainly grown immensely thanks to Susan. Thank you for a great morning. 😊
