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.

Not worth the dollars

LeeAnn_R, Nov 2025

That finding the app to get the audio was so hard, that I stopped trying and we just walked around. Need to make it easier for those who not techie.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

LeeAnn, I’m sorry to hear you had trouble accessing my Downtown Honolulu Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour. Could you share which part of the process was confusing — downloading the app, entering the code, or starting the tour? 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.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Faust, I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed my Honolulu walking audio tour. I’m glad the stories helped bring the history to life and that the walking directions were clear and easy to follow. It’s wonderful to know that the experience was both educational and engaging.
