She's very friendly and fun, has some good (Auntie Jokes). But she also gave us good advice as far as other tours to take. And going through North Shore told us about the mountains and the history of Oahu. The best shaved ice, best restaurants, best local food places. She had stories of the past and information that was pertinent to today as well. What some of the street names or places that had history and what their names mean, it was raining part of the tour so we didn't snorkel because it isn't a good time to snorkel. but it cleared up and was a very nice day. Some people went swimming and others just enjoyed the view. A big hello to Catherine and sorry I am easily distracted . I have to say our group wasn't the most energetic and interactive and there were a couple of girls kind of bougie and teenagers / young adults that were negative about a lot. They didn't want to snorkel/ swim and other things. We tried to empathize and give a more positive message. There was a lot to do so I was pretty tired by the time we were heading back. Thanked her at the end of the tour, and I was tired, unfocused. I apologized and felt like she maybe took the groups interactions to heart. I just wanted to say she was a wonderful guide and We really liked her! thank you for all your time.

Two downsides - each stop was focused on cheap shopping and less touring. And a couple were repeatedly late returning to the bus, which added nearly 2 hours to the tour.

While some are mostly touristy and shopping-heavy, there's simply no denying how much natural beauty you'll take in by joining this tour. Think of the price as short money for being driven from Waikiki to and around many of the top north shore highlights, with some enjoyable local legends, history, and trivia shared along the way. However, the Kokololio Beach Park stop alone was a key highlight, and a true gem. Jake was our guide for the day and made sure all questions were answered and needs met - he also did a great job corralling everyone with a conch shell call, keeping our group together and on time. Overall, enjoyable and well worth the price of entry.

The best part was he took over 400 pictures and videos for us. We never had to take out our cameras or worry about capturing the moments. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves.

I'm an active Yelp member who attended a sanctioned Yelp event called, "Yelp Kicks Butt: City…read moreRunning Tours," held on August 9, 2015 here in Honolulu, Hawaii on Oahu & I'm sharing my experience about what it was like. Here goes: I am not a runner or an all-out fitness person but I am an exerciser (haha for making that word up!) from time to time either regularly or periodically depending what I'm doing in life. The Yelp event (there's a selection process) sounded like a such an interesting way to exercise bc it included seeing the sights around town within the Downtown Honolulu to Ka'kaako area. Instead of taking a bus, train, car, truck, or tour bus, we Yelpy exercisers would go green & do it by foot! Duration of the run normally goes 1-1.5 hours to cover about 4.5-5 miles. I read the link to the vendor's site (in my Yelp announcement email) and thought, "Hey, why not?! How often does one get to do that?" What a cool & absolutely novel idea! :) I was excited to try it out! Wahooo!!! Well, our group did it in under 2 hrs! Yes, indeed, some were faster! YAYs to either case?! Teehee Yelp Kicks Butt: City Running Tours! I did get to see the downtown sights & see things that I normally just pass by in a moving vehicle. Awesome! Did it kick my butt? Yep! Hehe It was a great workout! I've got my running and walking in for the year! Haha jk! Hopefully not! :/ Here's my explanation of our route: 0- Every good runner knows to stretch first to let the body know it's gonna do something strenuous. Yovo led us thru two sets. Then we ran a little loosely at first to warm up. 1- Pace was good for me at the beginning thru Ka'kaako past BJ Penn/Sweat & Soul where we stopped for a tour explanation. I ran right behind Yovo along with other Yeeps also so I could hear what he was saying. 2- Crossed the street at Fisher Hawaii to cut thru the now former Eat the Street parking. Just before the ETS lot, we snapped a shot in front of a small painted bldg. 3- We continued thru the ETS lot past the Fire Station to stop briefly for a tour talk, 4- then headed on Queen St. past the school/church, cemetery, to Kawaiahao Church for a quick talk & pic. 5- After that we went on King St. to see Honolulu Hale at the water feature & front doors for quick talk, 6- then across to the Mission Memorial brick building, looked up the center of the huge black art object just before the Frank F. Fasi Municipal Building, & cut thru turned left just at the cemented path before the State bldg which leads to the back side of the Hawaii State Public Library. 7- After the street light turned green, we continued running toward King St. & crossed the street to see King Kamehameha's statue where we did a brief talk & snapped a cool pic with our famous King. Say, *Cheese! :D * for the King! 8- Next, we crossed back (King St.) going thru Iolani Palace for quick info talk, 9- the State Capitol building where we saw Queen Liliuokalani's statue & did a quick info talk, 10- Ran along Beretania to Richard Street & to Alakea to cut thru the park area on King Street. I started slowing down (long story-my knee has pain but isn't injured) into a brisk, walk-sometimes-short-runs just after the park to Aloha Tower. 11- At Aloha Tower, we took the elevator in groups up to the observation deck. How cool. It was my first time there! We got a couple group pics & had opportunity to use the restroom & refill our water bottles. 12- After admiring the beautiful views in each direction of the observation deck, we went downstairs to head around back near the pier & ran back out past the boats back on to Ala Moana Boulevard. It was during this stretch that I walked w/some other Yelpers. Yovo checked on us just before taking off to head the majority of our group. 13- Yovo then loyally returned to check on us just as we passed Cooke St. TY, Yovo! Just after reaching Ward Ave, he took a fun picture of us doing a jump. Haha! Too funny! :) 14- Back at Jamba Juice on the corner of Ward Ave, we received our celebratory Jamba Juice from Maka K. Woohoo! TY, Maka! I needed that cold blast! ---- Who attended: IDK! Really! Well, ok haha It was a nice-sized group of running/non-running Yeeps! :D Not good enough? (Sorry for the brief list! :/) I would have chatted with more Yeeps (=Yelpers) except that quite honestly it's not as easy for me to talk while running a brisk pace (sorry, Yeeps!) .) Nonetheless, I was able to get in brief conversations w/some of our group during tour guide explanations or just after taking off for our next run hehe :D Thank you to Emi H., Maka K., Yelp Hawaii, & City Running Tours for allowing me to join in this creative, invigorating, & fun exercise event!! Thank you, Yeeps, for keeping me company on this long (unusual for me bc I usually just do 4 times around a track = 1 mile!) run!! Maybe I'll be in body pain tmrw (which turns out I wasn't :D Yay!) but, hey, it was alllll worth it!! :D

Hubby took his parents to this tour last November while they were in town, visiting from WA. Dad is…read more90 yrs and mom is 84 yrs. they all loved this tour. So I took my grandsons, 8 yrs and 5 yrs. When we got there, I realized they accepted CASH ONLY. Went to Kualoa Ranch (1 mile away) to use their ATM. Got back in time for the tour. Needless to say, I thought I would get attitude from my 8 yr old. He's a gamer and would rather be on his DS or iPad. But he LOVED it. Even I was a bit skeptical but from the time we boarded the bus, the comedy began. Surprisingly, half our group was local. The other half, visitors from Wisconsin and Arizona. We all had a great time. Great tour of the farm and the various trees and plants. Didn't know it was a film location for so many movies. And the fire dance was up close. Lessons on making fire and husking a coconut were so interesting. Got to taste fresh coconut. All the while, the jokes kept coming, non-stop. It was time well spent. Highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors. But don't forget to bring cash. $20 Adults, ($15 kamaaina) and $10 for kids. Note, they used to have an ATM there but it was stolen. Auwe!
