Great city tour of Honolulu from a very personable guide

Gordon gave us a thorough and enjoyable dinner time tour of the city. He was knowledgeable in the history of the city and the islands and answered every question we had. He was very personable and easy to talk with. We’d give him a rating of 6 if we could!!!

A wonderful experience with Spiritual Tours

We had Melissa as our tour guide. She was GREAT! She was a wonderful hostess and great to be with. It gave us a great overview of the Waikiki area and local history. It was a perfect way to start off our stay. We are glad we chose Spiritual Tours for the start to our vacation. We did a private tour which we felt was reasonable and were never rushed. We would use them again without hesitation.

Semina and Kai were awesome

As our farewell tour for our stay we booked this tour. Semina was a great guide. She gave us some great information on the places we visited. The places were completely different from all of the other things and places we had visited prior. Such a fun time. It’s set up as a small group tour as is, but with a last minute cancellation we had a private tour. That turned out quite the boon. Kai, our tour guide in training, was so nice. He even snapped pictures of us for us. Thank you Semina and Kai for being our cherry on top of our great Hawaiian vacation. Aloha.

Terrible tour guide.

On Oct. 3, 2024, we booked a 2 hr..Honolulu City tour. Our confirmation #: 1562564125. We were picked up by a guy on Mercedez Benz from Marriott. We thought it was with other people but it was just me and my hubby. The guy took us around and even stopped by his house and talked with his friends by the beach. WHY? He stalled us by the pier. In the flyer, a bottle of water was included but we did not get any. He told us the history of the island, which we already know. (We did our homework). His version was very prejudicial of the whites and Americans. He was arrogant. We paid $144 each. It wasn't worth the tour. Pls, screen your employees or those who represent your company. It was terrible.
