Semi Private Honolulu Historical Tour

Our tour guide did not stick to the itinerary. We missed out on one of the experiences and he ended the tour an hour earlier than was listed.

Outstanding tour. Our guide (Ama) was super friendly and knowledgeable. Learned a lot today. Good selection of historically significant sites. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

We had a great day exploring the history of Hawaii, and learning about the years of monarchy. Our guide Simina took us to historical sites, and shared a lot of info as we were traveling through the city. Having done all the “regular” attractions during previous trips, it was great to have the opportunity to deep dive into the culture and history of this amazing place. This was an absolutely unique experience!

Great customer service and communication from the tour operator. Our guide was Ama. Ama, as a native islander, knows a lot about the history of Honolulu and Hawaii in general. We visited the Iolani Palace and the Bishop Museum. We elected to skip the mission part of the tour because I had blisters on my feet, but still received the history from Ama. Ama also took us through Chinatown, a scenic drive along the coast where he regularly surfs, and down to Honolulu Harbor, Merchant Row and to the royal cemetery / mausoleum. Great experience!

Tailored experience to gain the attention on my teen who’s been difficult to engage these days. Loved the Bishop Museum.

Fantastic job by Eva! She was very knowledgeable and solicitous to my wife who has mobility issues. We had a great time visiting historical sights such as the Bishop museum and the mission houses!

Melissa our guide was very knowledgeable, and a great communicator - and a delightful person. The stops were excellent- especially the iolani palace (a must see!) and the bishop museum. This is Hawaii beyond the beaches and so fascinating.

Eva, our guide, so fun, nice and full of information. Museums so interesting. Hot day but Eva had water nice AC. So much Hawaiian history. Mahalo!

This was exactly what a private tour should be! Our plane was late landing, and Eva easily accommodated later pick up than originally set. She then gave us the option of how to spend our limited time with her and recommended things that we could do on our own later in order to maximize our time with her. This allowed us to spend an entire afternoon at the bishop museum with her as our private instructor. On the way to and from the museum she kept up a continuous commentary/explanation of Hawaiian history, practices and culture. She easily answered all questions and volunteered much information that I would never have thought to ask. When the museum closed, rather than merely dropping us off, she took us to the Iolani palace, supreme court building, and mission houses in order to show where we should go the following day on our own, and how to maximize our experiences there without her. On a scale of 10, Eva was a 12!

Simina surpassed our expectations! She is incredible knowledgeable, informative, friendly and accommodating! The minute I met her I knew we had made the right choice by booking with Spiritual Hawaii Tours. She took us to the best site seeing, educated us throughout the whole tour on the Hawaiian Culture, History, spirituality and more! I did this tour with my 19 & 10 year old, and my aunt. She made everyone feel comfortable and included. Thank you, Simina for giving us the best of you during our tour and making this such a memorable experience from beginning to end 🌺
