Our family of three had a wonderful tour with Victor. He was so friendly and helpful and had great communication. The tour exceeded our expectations in both quantity and quality of food. Every stop was authentic and delicious and the portions were generous. You will not leave hungry. In fact we took home a whole meal’s worth of leftovers. I would highly recommend this tour for those who love food and exploring new places.

The amount of food we ate was more than i would have been expected. Quality of food was outstanding. Tour was very informative and interesting.

Mary_S

My husband and I took this tour. We learned so much about the food cultures of Hawaii. Victor was very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian food scene. We tried so many different delicious foods and were stuffed by the end of the tour. We definitely plan on returning to Chinatown. I highly recommend this tour even if you visit Hawaii regularly, you will enjoy and learn about the culture.

Tour of Chinatown hidden eats. Places you would not find on your own. The bites were fresh and tasty. Had a great time and was an easy walking tour.

P_N

We really enjoyed the out-of-the-way food providers, and our host/guide, TJ, made it all interesting, approachable (even the more exotic parts of the menu!) and fun. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others.

Fantastic tour, great food and great to see a part of Honolulu history and culture not covered by the travel guides. Good for families, couples and friends traveling together. You will not be disappointed.

I have lived on Oahu for three years and am getting ready to move, which prompted my HI bucket list. Top of that list was a food tour! I was excited when I found the "Off The Beaten Path" tour online and was able to book easily given they offer it multiple times per week! The morning of the tour, Victor picked me up right on time. There were already three other groups on the van (two couples and a granddaughter with her grandparents). The whole experience was super fun and everyone got along great. Victor was easy to talk to, offered everyone multiple local recommendations and ensured everyone engaged with one another. The tour itself was out of this world. I was unsure of how much actual food we would try and it turned out that it was A TON. I needed up coming home with tons of leftovers and was stuffed by the end of the 16 samplings. Come hungry for sure and don't miss out on this great company/tour!

We loved the food tour. Tried some adventurous foods and definitely come hungry (skip breakfast before). The guide was knowledgeable about numerous other island topics, to boost. Definitely recommend.
