The tour guide never turned up and never contacted us. I tried calling but their number always went to voicemail. We ended up just doing the palace tour ourselves with the recordings they give you and it was great so didn't need a tour guide. Viator though did refund the money no problem.

He did not show up, he retired but tour is still up. We had to wait in the hot sun for an additional 15 minutes, called him asking where he was and then received the word that he was not coming as he retired so why was this experience still online? Does Viator not monitor their postings?

Terry was a very knowledgeable and super friendly tour guide. His knowledge of history and his stories were incredible!

This was a very nice intimate tour with Terry. He provided great context to how the iolani palace came to be and the history of King Kamehameha and the Hawaiian people. Thank you for that history lesson that most people probably never hear.
The weather was saying rain and we made it through the whole tour with no rain!

Terry was a great storyteller of the glossed over parts of Hawaiian history. The walk wasn’t far, but covered many topics.

Terry shared a lot of local history, and being a one-on-one tour, he was able to go into much more detail and expand on his usual talk. He is very knowledgeable and very interesting and it's a tour I would recommend if you're a real history lover

Great informative walking tour. There is alot of standing which for some people may be difficult. He tries to keep you in the shade.

Very interesting tour around the palace, state houses and churches with stories of history and ghostly sightings. Terry was very kind and humorous. Would highly recommend!

A good overview of the history of settlement in Oahu. Knowledgable guide. Didn’t expect to hear so much about ghosts.

Hawaii isn't just about surfing the waves. It was great for us to learn about the history and stories passed down from generations. Walking this tour and having gone to the Bishop museum we gained a new perspective of the island.

Terry was an excellent tour guide. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made it interesting for three generations of people.

Retired history professor who has in-depth knowledge about history. It is worth of money. $27 is worth of money.
