We Go Eat : Secret Aloha Bites Tour

Excellent sightseeing and information. Food was authentic and delicious. Guide, Mat was personable and full of knowledge. His dashing good looks and pleasant personality didn't hurt either. Would def recommend and loved the small group size.

I am not disappointed there was no tasting in Chinatown, just surprised since it was the only info listed on the itinerary. Matt was upbeat and engaging anyway. We ate local treats . There were really limited vegan options but Matt did let us know ahead of time.

We visited parts of the island that we had never seen before, and definitely ate at some places that a tourist would never find. Matt was a fantastic guide.

An amazingly authentic experience! The food was delicious and Lanai makes it all come together with amazing history and story telling from his life experiences. Highly recommend!!!

First, if you don't like Hawaiian food, you're not going to like the tour. Second, it wasn't 3 hours, it was 2 hours. So you're paying $100 / hour. Most of that seems to be to pay for his celebrity. He made sure to tell us of his multiple TV appearances, TV shows, recent trips and travels, and name drop and say that he's a friend of over a dozen chefs on the island. I believe the technical term is narcissist. Third, he made sure to criticize the vast majority of the places we had already eaten at. He noted the luau we attended was the "worst" despite us having a very good time. My wife's choice of donut shop was sharply criticized. Fourth, the first stop was to get free samples at the local grocery store. To be fair, he added to that with a $3 Spam Musubi from the same grocery store. Fifth, his air freshener from the rear view mirror was of himself. Did I mention narcissist. Sixth, it will be clear by the end most of the cost you paid wasn't for the food but to associate with his "fame" On the positive side, he was educational about the history of Hawaiian food and how it differed from Japanese and other influences. Before I'd recommend his tour I'd recommend one of the restaurants he sharply criticized us for eating at like Hoku's.

I was really excited for this excursion. It’s sounds like a wonderful time. Though almost 2 weeks after I booked this, it was cancelled. I received some generic email saying the tour is not available, but the crazy part it was. The tour I signed up still had spots available. I tried to book a second time for the same tour and I was kicked out from booking, so I gave up. I personally feel that because I was a single person, it’s not in the company’s favor. They can certainly make more money from people in pairs or groups than 1 single person. So be cautious if you are a solo traveler, they won’t care about you. If this is their policy, they should really put it in writing. It would of saved me so much time from writing this negative review.

Lanai was a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and the food scene in the area. He was a pleasure to spend time with, would highly recommend if you want a authentic Hawaiian food experience.

This was one of the most enjoyable adventures we have ever been on! Lanai was fantastic, taught us so much about the history and culture of Hawaii. Took us to places we never would have discovered on our own. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys learning through food.

We had a wonderful time and the food was fantastic. At first, we were disappointed that the original host of the tour was not available. But Travis did a great job. He took us to a ton of places and told us lots of great stories about the history, food and culture of Hawaii. We feasted on a range of dishes and they were all delicious!

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour! Knowledgeable about things guide books don’t tell you, great for foodies!
