Great experience through Chinatown. The food covered a wide variety from normal to highly adventurous with everything in between. It was all delicious!! The tour guides were thoughtful, well informed about the area and very engaging. I had a lot of questions and they were happy to share what they knew. You will not leave hungry, in fact, you will probably leave with food to take home. I would give it six stars if I could . Very highly recommended.

Our guide TJ really loved his job and it showed. He was excited to show us all the great food in Chinatown. I have been on several food tours but this tour gives you a lot of great food, you won't leave hungry.

In advance, the communicatienetwerk with Victor was outstanding: multiple text-messages with information about the tour and pick-up. We were the lucky ones thatanother party cancelled, so we had a private tour with Vicor and his daughter. He was informative about some history, the different cultures and cuisines in Oahu. Think twice about having breakfast in the morning, because you get to eat A LOT! We even skippen diner and breakfast in advance, but even then it was to much! The tour itselve is tastefull with different cuisines: Korean, Japanese, Hawaiian fruits, Philippian and Chinese. We were amazed about the fresh flavours (especially the tuna sashimi, OMG). We surely recommend this tour if you’re foody, or like to take a look in Chinatown whilst enjoying breakfast, lunch and diner in one 😉 Oh, and some food we could’nt get stuffed in anymore: Victor gave it to a poor man in a wheelchair, very kind!
