Please donate our tickets to Palace we were not able to attend.

Bonnie_T, Jul 2026

The grounds are beautiful, easy access across from Queens Hospital. The weather was great. We were unable to attend due to medical I would like to donate the tickets to the palace. I’m unable to share the experience other than I hope one day I’m able to take the tour. I loved seeing the outside as we drove by Mahalo.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Bonnie, I’m sorry you weren’t able to take my Downtown Honolulu GPS walking audio tour due to a medical situation. My tour does not include Palace admission tickets; it is only the self-guided audio tour experience. The good news is that my audio tour is valid forever, so you can still use it anytime on a future visit, and I’d love for you to experience it when you’re able. Please reach out; I am available daily between 9 AM and 6 PM EST.

I was very confused and...

Jared_M, Dec 2025

I was very confused and disappointed about my experience, things weren’t explained clearly. I’d definitely want my money back.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Jared, I’m really sorry to hear that my Downtown Honolulu walking tour felt confusing for you. I tried to locate your booking in our system, but couldn’t find it. Please reach out to me directly so I can look into this right away. I’d also appreciate knowing a bit more about what happened — were you able to download the tour and open the map? Did the audio not start at the first landmark, or were the directions unclear once you began walking? Any details you can share will help me understand where things went wrong and make improvements. Please contact me anytime between 9–6 EST, and I’ll be happy to help. I can also review your order and process a refund or replacement once I have your booking details.

Fun and interesting walking tour

Martha_N, Nov 2025

Nice walking tour. The app worked great and the history was very interesting. It got very hot in the afternoon so we ducked into buildings. Recommend to go in the morning while its cooler

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Martha, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the Downtown Honolulu walking tour. I’m glad the app worked smoothly and that the historical stories kept things interesting along the way. And yes — the afternoon heat in Honolulu can be intense, so your tip about starting in the morning is perfect.

I do include step-by-step instructions in the confirmation email to help make it simple. Still, your feedback will help me improve the onboarding experience. I’m available daily from 9 to 6 EST if you’d like me to personally walk you through it or offer a replacement so you can give it another try.

Hawaiian History Comes Alive

Faust_D, Jul 2025

It was very educational and interesting. The narrator included srltories about the history of the sites we saw and made the people & places come alive. The walking directions were very explicit and precise so I never worried we were taking a wrong turn.
