The tour was wonderful! Our guide, Abie, was so sweet, and very informative! The business owners she introduced us to, were also very kind and upbeat, and the large samples they provided us with were so tasty! We felt lucky, because the other folks in our group canceled, and it ended up being a very private event and a lot of fun! Good company and delicious foods, with a serving of history! :)

Tour was great. Susan, our guide, was so friendly and shared alot of history and information about the island of Kauai. Of course, tasting local island cuisine was the best part. My husband and I were surprised at how big the portion sizes were. Come hungry!

I enjoyed the your immensely. Our guide was very knowledgeable, fun and interesting. I'm still telling people about. Because of it I want to do good yours everywhere. My only regret was that w stayed in one area. I had hoped to see more of the island by traveling to different areas. Originally I was scheduled for the 11:00 tour but not enough people signed up. Really I'm just glad I got to go. The food was great. I really liked the poi burger. I went back to the fish market the next day. My son got the burrito. That was fabulous. I felt the wrap we got on the tour had to much sauce on it. Oh I also went back to the kombucha place. I would've gone to get a poi burger, but they were closed. So really the tour did what it was meant, introduce us to some great food places on the island. I understand some of the problem is businesses recovering from the pandemic so that limits the offerings. Also I'm glad the owner is trying to support the sustainable businesses. Yeah thank you
