Lisa was on time and welcomed warmly, She is very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved our Shaxi tour and recommend that everyone does it on their first day in Waikiki .

Average experience

junwilma, May 2022

It seemed to me that this tour was over priced. Lisa was warm and hospitable. Our experience was just average. Would I recommend? Probably not as it is overpriced.

Do it for the looks

Fun experience- insiders look at the area - Leonard’s was great, the sunset was beautiful, Lisa was knowledgeable…worth the time!

Best tour in town

Very friendly and knowledgable driver. She imparted an encyclopedia of information on our trip, and then sent usher list of places we should visit.

Best tour a must when visiting

eric_s, Aug 2021

Seeing the sunset at the park and also having a great tour guide Lisa made it worth while. If you are visiting Hawaii this tour should be your first because you learn so much and make you trip so worth while.

Great tour

Omeka_B, July 2021

Great tour. Many photo opportunities, and our tour guide was very informative. Sunset was beautiful.

Great tour.. a must do!

Sandy_A, July 2021

This tour was the best. Our guide Lisa was phenomenal. She went over and beyond to make our experience on the Island special. From the places of interest to the sunset and night time city lights... my husband and I loved it!

Best tour ever!

Karen_M, June 2021

We had a awesome ride through the town with Lisa as our tourist golf cart style. She arrived to our hotel and presented us with leis and a fresh picked mango. She gave us a 3 hour tour and let us get out for pictures in several areas, she also gave us the amazing history of a lot here in Honolulu, Hawaii. This was a great private tour away from big crowds. It was me, my husband and another family of 3. Everyone was very nice, friendly and that made our experience even better. Thank you Shaxi for our amazing tour!

Sunset

Prabhdeep_A, May 2021

Was an awesome tour around waikiki, honolulu, diamond head and it was blast to watch the sunset etc..

So much fun so much to see.

Pamela_M, Apr 2021

We have been coming to Honolulu for over 35 years and this tour made it all come together. Lisa was great in explaining the history in the neighborhoods we had driven through time and again not knowing the meaning each area held. It was fun and I actually would do it again as there was so much to take in. If you think you have seen it all on the island you haven't until you do this tour.
