    Susan was an incredible source of concise and interesting information and stories - Everyone visiting the Hawaiian Islands should have some knowledge of its long , fascinating history. Highly recommend This tour as a starting point!
    Very informative tour...
    Elizabeth_M, Apr 2024
    Very informative tour guide and I learnt a bunch of things I didn’t know about Waikiki. Was great to hear all the history from ancient to more modern.
    Excellent Walking Tour
    Gary_H, Jan 2024
    Excellent! Very informative and enjoyable!. Susan, our guide, really knew and shared the insights as she knows them well from her 40-years living in Hawaii. We learned a lot from this very pleasant 1h 20m walking tour of downtown Honolulu.
    Great history tour
    Rachel_F, Jan 2024
    Susan was a great guide giving lots of information about the history of Hawaii. We were running 10 minutes late and she waited, so sweet.

    Tour guide not showing up. Bought a guide book of Honolulu which was great. Toured Iolini castle on our own. I will never use Viator again. You never answer your phones.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Aloha Berman! We are sorry that you couldn't find our guide, not sure if you read the meet up details correctly but the King Kamehameha Statue is hard to miss as the other 20+ guests for that day were able to find our guide.
    Susan is very knowledgeable
    DenisAllan_P, Nov 2023
    Susan shared her extensive understanding of Hawaiian regal and political history, visiting the key sites in central Honolulu. Recommended to all who are interested in culture and history.
    Great tour

    Susan gave a great history lesson as well as her own experiences. Tour situated us perfectly in the historic district.
    A historical layer cake
    Martha_M, Oct 2023
    Susan is an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. Her metaphor of hawaiian history as a layer cake made understanding Hawaiian history easier. Very informative for a one hour tour.
    Enjoyable walking tour!
    Michelle_H, Sep 2023
    Our guide Susan was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the island which added to the overall experience. Given the minimal cost it was well worth it.
    A must for history lovers!
    Joyce_V, Aug 2023
    Susan was an excellent guide! Passionate about her work and willing to answer any questions for visitors.
    Great walking tour
    Rose_F, Jul 2023
    Susan was a fantastic, knowledgeable tour guide 😊 A bit of standing as she talks about each stop. Overall great tour
    Book this tour; you won’t regret it.
    Ana_L, Jun 2023
    Susan was a fantastic tour guide! She was knowledgeable and very friendly. If you have children make sure to have some sort of destruction for them. There is a lot of standing. I didn’t mind that but I know some people might!
    Great start to our trip…
    Sue_V, Jul 2022
    Great tour guide. Gives a quick overview of town and neat insights. He was super interacting with my kids - who were not enthralled about participating in a tour.
    Worthwhile!
    Timothy_J, Jun 2022
    If you like history, then this short walking tour is worth the time. You’ll learn details about things that you just wouldn’t if you tried to go it alone.
    Great walking tour
    Tom_D, May 2022
    Peter was an excellent Tour guide, fairly short amount of walking. For history buffs, you get the history of Hawaii in 90 minutes.
    Royal Hawaiian walking tour:)
    Rashmi_B, Mar 2022
    We enjoyed walking tour in downtown Hawaii. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We highly recommend if you can spare 1 hours of your time for this walking tour.
    Amazing Honolulu Walking Tout
    Sue_E, Mar 2022
    This was the most interesting and insightful history of Hawaii. Peter Van Buren was an amazing and knowledgeable docent/guide. So much information. I will sign up for this walk again when next I come back to Oahu
    Worthwhile experience while in Honolulu
    Judith_F, Feb 2022
    Our guide was a historian, he provided the Hawaiian history-from the beginning of time and made it so interesting by showing actual photos of the Kings. He was very articulate and made it very interesting
    Great experience!
    Kathleen_B, Feb 2022
    Peter made the tour fun by his animated wit and humor and did his best with the onset of a slight rain shower. We thought the tour would take us to other areas such as China town and surrounding areas. For what we saw it was great!
