SUPER Tour! Excellent guides (Kamakea and Jade). So knowledgeable about the history of the island and they made it fun! Your group size was also perfect (12 adults). We had so many tasty local food and treats! Would definitely recommend this tour to family/friends and anyone looking for a great foodie tour! Thank you!

The food was good and the guides Kai and Kamakea were great. They gave us a little history along the way.

Ellie was our tour guide and she was great. Enjoyed learning about Kona and the history. Our group’s favorite stop was the fish and chips at Foster’s Kitchen, but the food was great at each stop. Kona Inn bar was spectacular with the history and the view. I would recommend it as something to do early in your stay so you can go back to the places you enjoyed.

Elle was the best! We met at the pier where we heard the overview of our 3 hour tour (remember Gilligan's island) the history of the kings and how these islands were brought together is a story I wish we all could use in today's mayhem. Elle told us souch right down to the cows that graze all over those island. Stopping at major resturantsthat hold so much history and even the out of the way local lunch/ brunch stops gave us all the " wounder what's next feeling. There is so much to see within just a few blocks of the main pier. Thank you Elle. See you at one of the stops soon!

Absolutely not worth the money. There was a total of 4 food tastings plus the tiniest cup of gelato I have ever seen. If you aren’t drinking, you aren’t getting half of what you paid for. But even with the alcohol, it is still steeply overpriced. Plus you have to pay for parking ~35$. Really wish we had cancelled, saved the money, and taken ourselves on our own food tour. Would have been half the cost and double the portions. The tour guide was nice. But still not an experience I would recommend.

What a fun way to try some restaurants and hear some history of Hawaii. We had plenty of food, a tasting of Kona coffee and a dessert of gelato. Definitely recommend this tour.

CarolLogsdon

Tour guides Ellie and Evie were fun, friendly and professional. They gave great background information about the areas we walked through on the Kona tour. Everything was planned out perfectly. The places that were selected to stop at for food and drink were excellent choices. Couldn’t have asked for anything to be better!!

Colleen_D

The tour started with some history of the area then on to seven food stops. Great pace as there were guests with different levels of mobility. A variety of food so there was something for everyone.

Great time and great food! Our hosts were super fun to talk to and the insight they provided was as good as the food.

When gusts visit us on the Big Island we usually take them on the Kona Walking Food Tour. It is always a hit. We have done the tour several times and it never gets old. We highly recommend you give it a try.
