Great experience! Nina so how’s digestion going after? - Tour guides Ellie and Evie were fun, friendly and professional. They gave great background information about the areas we walked through on the Kona tour. Everything was planned out perfectly. The places that were selected to stop at for food and drink were excellent choices. Couldn’t have asked for anything to be better!!

Fun and delicious. - The tour started with some history of the area then on to seven food stops. Great pace as there were guests with different levels of mobility. A variety of food so there was something for everyone.

Great Taste of Kona - When gusts visit us on the Big Island we usually take them on the Kona Walking Food Tour. It is always a hit. We have done the tour several times and it never gets old. We highly recommend you give it a try.

Do this tour first in Kona to know where to eat! - My husband and I took this tour at the start of our stay in Kona. Kai, our guide, was AMAZING. His extensive knowledge of the local food scene and Hawaiian history made the afternoon a total blast. We loved his energy and endless flow of interesting facts. We're making it a point to go back to all the places he took us and/or recommended we check it out.
