Pretty good tour
Gabrielle_O
, Apr. 2022
Lots of information provided. One place was closed so tour guide provided similar foods picnic style. Most of the stops were enjoyable. The candy store was a disappointment. Offered the same very tiny sample as they offered all the people who came in to the shop. Tour guide, Kama, added in a lot of history which was great. She was quite personable.

Great Food in Kona
Judith_Z
, Apr. 2022
Some of the older iconic restaurants and bars and the background on them were enjoyable. The hostesses were lovely. The food very good although too much sharing with people you don’t know. The stop at the shop selling many things and offering no seating and a tiny piece of chocolate was disappointing. Also, the trip says 1 mile. It may be 1 mike to the end but more like 1.5 and then you have to go back.

The avocado fries at Kona Jack and gelato at Gypsea were the highlights. I never would have tried the clam chowder on a hot day but it was excellent.

Keli and Kris were amazing hosts! If you like history Kris is more than happy to geek out with you. The sights were beautiful and the food and cocktails were delicious. We really enjoyed the company of the other guests as well. It was great to get to know different people from different places (and we are by means means extroverts) Do yourself a favor and book this as the first thing you do.

We visited quite a few places and got a lot of info on Kona. It was very enjoyable. The group size was just right. The only downside was a member of our group needs gluten free food and that was not accommodated.

My wife and I enjoyed this walk through local Kona hot spots. Stand outs to us were the market and farm to table restaurants. We liked them so much we went back after the tour! The tour guides Keli and Kris were both great as well!
