Stella’s great! Fantastic food and guide.
Stella was amazing! Very knowledgeable and showed her love and passion for Hawaiian food and culture!
Loved the experience. Stella was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area and history. LOVED the food options. Provided a wonderful experience for a first time visitor to Hawaii ( Waikiki)
Our walking food tour through Waikiki with Stella was a delight! Over the course of the 3.5 hours, we enjoyed hidden gems and colorful anecdotes spanning the history of the neighborhood. Stella was the ideal guide - engaging, interesting, and adaptable when one of the planned spots had an unexpected event. We appreciated the small group size and options for personalizing our choices at the various restaurants. Overall, this was the perfect tour to get an insider’s look at Honolulu’s food scene!
I had a great time. Stella was kind and well educated on the area and kind. The food was great and we learned a lot about the area
Very interesting local history and the food choice was excellent
Stella is a perfect guide and this tour is an absolute must whether you live here or just visiting.
This was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Waikiki, getting to see the sights and food. Pretty good value for the price and Stella is a fantastic and friendly guide.
A wonderful exploration of the history and culture of Hawaii through its landmarks and unique cuisine. Stella was extremely knowledgeable and friendly making us all feel like part of her family and inspiring us to learn more about this beautiful place. Stella is one of the best!
We loved the fact that we could walk to the Luau from our cruise ship. We thought the show was really good and well executed. The dancers were fun to watch and we liked the music as well.
We really enjoyed this tour with Stella. We were to Oahu before and saw Pearl Harbor so we wanted to do something different. This was our first ever food tour and didn’t know what to expect. It was nice to learn the history along with food tastings and we enjoyed all of them. I never had poke bowl and now I know I really like that. The chocolate tasting was really informative…who knew there could be so many different tastes in chocolate? The pace was great and it was nice to be able to walk and see the city up close.
It is easy walking with rests along the way definitely a relaxed pace. The stops for food were timely and tasty, interesting food and drinks, Stella was our guide for the day and she was terrific sharing her knowledge and making time for each of us on her tour.
Great tour! Worth every penny. Stella is fantastic. You'll learn a lot about the island and have the opportunity to taste some great food.
Enjoyed the tour. All local establishments, great local flavor.
A very interesting and informative food tour. Stella kept us moving but it didn't feel rushed.
This food tour is not just about food, which was fantastic and tons of it, there is a lot of great history to be learned, our tour guide did great telling us about the history. Stella was fun, interacted with all of us and had lots of interesting and fun information about the area and the food. The good wax amazing, glad we went at the beginning of our stay here, we are going back to a couple places!! Thanks Stella for making our experience A+
Stella did a great job with her knowledge of the area and local eats.
Great tour, 7 stops. Chocolate, Coffee, Malasada, Pork Tamago Onigiri, Mofungo, Shave Ice and the best Poke Bowl on the island at Maguro Spot!
Stella was awesome. Very knowledgeable! Great experience.
Stella was amazing and her choices of stops was fantastic!! Cannot recommend this enough!!
Stella is amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable about the secret food spots of the city. Highly recommend seeking her out!
Stella is a amazing guide. She really knows the people and the places and we really got to see the parts of Honalulu we wanted to discover with her.
We really enjoyed our three-hour food tour with Stella. Communication with her before the tour was easy, which made everything very straightforward. We were lucky enough to end up with a very small group—just the two of us and Stella—which made the tour feel much more personal. We made multiple stops for food throughout the three hours, with Stella also sharing little tidbits and information about Hawaii along the way. The best part for us was getting to try different foods that we probably wouldn't have chosen on our own. It was great having Stella select the locations and then give us tips on how to choose what we wanted to order. Having someone familiar with the local food scene take care of that part made it much easier to step outside of our usual choices. We really enjoyed the variety and the chance to experience foods we might otherwise have missed. Our absolute favorite was the kalua pork taco from Pit Stop Hawaii food truck! That was definitely the standout for us. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience and would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to try a variety of Hawaiian food without having to figure out all the stops and choices on their own.
Stella was amazing! So knowledgeable and so fun!
Stella was very very knowledgeable and informative about the places we visited on our tour, she did really great at picking places to eat. She was polite and very respectful, I really appreciate everything we did and all the places we visited. Thank you for the best experience I’ve had on a food tour. I really hope one day I can come back and book her again. Thank you.
Great way to start our vacation. Stella was very informatove and friendly. Loved the different food variations and learning a little history.
Great food tour with lots of variety. You’ll be full by the end of the experience and still wanting more. Our tour guide Stella was top-notch.
You start of the tour with chocolate samples and coffee so if you are someone who likes to have dessert before your meal this is the tour for you. The historic part of the tour had good information. I have been on other food tours where the variety, quantity and quality of the food was amazing. We did really enjoy the Pit stop for tacos and actually went back another time on our own. The poke place and shaved ice was good too.
Stella the tour guide was amazing!
Stella really knows her stuff! The locals were hidden treasures. The food was true Hawaiian and so tasty. Stella wove Hawaii history into her presentations and I learned a lot. Lots of walking but it was worth it
We had a fantastic experience on this walking food tour! The food was delicious, the stops were well chosen, and the entire tour was fun and enjoyable from start to finish. A special shout-out to our tour guide, Stella, who was absolutely excellent! She was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience even more memorable. Her enthusiasm and personality added so much to the tour. I would highly recommend this food tour to anyone looking for a fun way to explore the area, enjoy some great food, and learn a little along the way. And if you can, ask for Stella—you’ll be in great hands!
Stella was an excellent tour guide. Full of good historical information. The food was really top notch.
Very fun food tour! Small group size makes for an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Our host Stella was accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture and history, and just fun to be around. Great to do on day 1 or 2 of your trip.
Aunty Stella was Amazing! She was friendly, learnt the Hawaiian Culture really well and was informative of all the must see statues in Waikiki and their representation. Each Food Spot was spot on. I had them on my must visit and try list and she took us to them all AND did not dissapoint. Highly Recommend with Stella and this food tour! Mahalo from Aotearoa (NZ)/Australia
We had the best day with Stella! She was not only full of local facts and great food tips, she was also full of warmth and laughs. Each stop was well thought out and we ate like Queens. Thank you Auntie Stella! x
Stella was a pure joy - clearly loves Waikiki and knows all the hidden spots. Everywhere we went was delicious and she made sure everyone was catered for. Such a fun way to explore the area. Mahalo Stella!
The tour with Stella was fantastic. We got some interesting Hawaii history while eating our way around Waikiki. I highly recommend doing this tour. I came with 2 teenagers and they enjoyed it too.
Stella was great! We wandered all over Waikiki trying great food. Tour went a little long since we were having so much fun.
stella was a great guide!!! all her picks were delicious!!! would def recommend
Stella was amazing. Very knowledgeable, easy going, and super sweet
Stella was amazing and gave us a very family centric and fun experience. She takes time to talk through all the history and culture and was just such a delightful person. I’m so glad I booked this and you will def have enough to eat after all the great food. The combination of heat locations and tasty food was so well done. 10/10 would recommend.
Stella Daly was an amazing guide for our afternoon together. She made us feel welcomed immediately and took great care of us at every stop along the way. I would highly recommend her services for a fun, tasty food tour 😋
Stella was awesome! She took us to incredible food places and gave a lot of really great insight on some great recommendations and places to go as well as shared a lot of great history about this island on the way. Definitely go early on in your stay!
Stella did an incredible tour. All her choices were perfect, and they were places we would not have found on our own. On a side note, come hungry - it’s not a tasting tour - it’s a real food tour. The portions are serious and the food is delicious.
Stella was a fantastic guide. I love a good tour that not only takes us to amazing local eateries but also gives us a history and cultural lesson. Stella blended the 2 beautifully. Highly recommend to anyone who loves good food and good vibes and will be in Waikiki.
This food tour was incredible from start to finish! Our host, Stella, truly put the Stella in stellar. She was incredibly informative, sweet, and attentive. She embodies the aloha spirit and the traditions the land was founded on. I’d give her a statue myself. You would think she was a local native who grew up here. she knew the ins and outs of the area and seemed to know at least one person at every single stop! I could honestly follow her around every day just to hear her great stories, which paired perfectly with the food. Speaking of the food: amazing. Everything hit the spot, from the incredible secret item all the way to the shaved ice. I left nice and full, and Stella absolutely knew her stuff. Please support this tour. It is worth every single penny. Lovely lady, fantastic food, and an unforgettable experience!
We had a great good tour with Stella as our guide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Even with rainy weather, it was a highlight of our trip. We definitely ended up full, but the food stops were spaced out enough that we could still enjoy each stop. We would do it again for sure!
We loved this experience. Stella made this tour fun. She introduced us to lots of Hawaiian specialities and we got to try new options for us. She gave us great ideas for our last meals on Oahu. Highly recommend this tour. It was a great walk around the city.
