Best Tour Guide

This was a great tour. We started on Waikiki and it was as if a guide was with us. We’ve been to Hawaii more than 3 times and we learned things we never heard before. We appreciated being able to stop and pause and resume later. The GPS on the app was fantastic and the best part was when the tour ended the guide directed us back to our start point. We highly recommend this app. If we could, we would have left a tip. lol

Excellent tours!

We’ve used Shaka Guide on Maui, Kauai, and Oahu and it’s absolutely wonderful. Very entertaining and take the guesswork out of taking a road trip!

I don't usually care that much about the history of the places I travel to as I enjoy natural scenery but this guide exceeded my expectations, I just did the Kauai North shore tour and it was great and worked well. I just hope they can get it working in Android Auto soon.
