The tour was worthwhile due to our limited time to see the Hilo side of the island. I think the guided was informative and had good stories. Use of time could have been better as our tour was adjusted based on some people on the tour who had to leave early.
A Little less talking about personal life. Some of it was interesting but it got to be too much. It was nice to stop by shops but it made it a little commercial to have us buy things at the shops. Tour operator was friendly and funny overall.
