I booked a tour online and was told my card would be charged the day of the tour. Great! I thought. The night before the tour, at 7:15, I received a call from the owner saying due to COVID-19 they weren't doing the tour in Kihei, but were doing the one in LaHaina, with some changes, and she would send me a list of where they would have taken us and we could do it on our own. I called her back to confirm her message and was only able to leave a voice mail. She never called back. She never sent the list. And if they aren't doing tours due to COVID-19, which everytelse is up and running, How or why are they able to do the tour in LaHaina where it is much more crowded?

Host stood us up. We showed up at the agreed meeting place at the prescribed time. I called the host 10 minutes after the agreed upon time. She called me back 15 minutes later and said she never got notification we had booked. Find that hard to believe given that I got an email confirm. Really disappointing because we planned our whole day around the tour. Avoid if you value your limited time in Maui.

We have never done a food tour before, so I am not an expert on these things. What I can tell you is that it was time well spent. Sharon is a great host and does her best to make sure you enjoy yourself, learn about the area, and get to try samples of food from the local shops. It was a very nice way to spend a morning strolling, eating, and learning.

I have been on food tours in several major cities where you get generous portions, get to sample a variety of great food, and learn history about the area along the way. I don't consider sampling fudge and pineapple part of a food tour because these items are free to anyone strolling through Lahaina. Passing around sheets of paper with historical facts on them also does not replace a good tour guide providing interesting facts about the area. If you are familiar with food tours, do ont waste your money on this one. The tour guide Sharon is also the owner. The people of Maui work hard and usually have more than one job, but Sharon needs to find a different profession.

I'm a little confused by the good reviews so maybe they were posted before the new owner took over. If you have ever been on a food tour before, this is not for you since this is not, I repeat, not a real food tour. The company has recently acquired a new owner, Sharon, who has been working for them as a guide so we were surprised when she sat us down and began to read to us from laminated sheets of paper and showed us some fuzzy pictures. We did act interested and asked questions and were given answers (that we later discovered were incorrect when we fact checked them). We were given real food (macadamia pancakes) at the first stop then it was all downhill from there. The other stops were simply samples that we could have received on our own just walking into the shops (1/4 of a cookie, a fudge sliver, a piece of pineapple, a quarter size helping of gelato, a taste of coffee). There was a pitiful caprese salad at the end with overripe tomatoes that wasn't exactly edible and we didn't receive a some items like the greek wrap that was mentioned in the other reviews. If you have ever been on a real food tour before, you know that you get real sample sizes of real food and loads of history about the area. Do yourself a favor and read some info on Lahaina on the internet then stop into the stores on your own for samples and save your money!

We took the Paia Culinary Tour with Sharon who was full of energy despite having flown the day before from Boston. She cheerfully told us about the background and history of Paia. We begin with a refreshing gelato from Paia Gelato. We then had blueberry pancakes and a breakfast wrap from Charley's. Both delicious and more than we could eat. At Mana Foods which is an island gourmet food store we sampled various island fruits. We went to three other food stops with the highlight being the crispy duck fajita. Delicious. We have been on over 20 food tours from Paris to Buenos Aries and New York. Some are high end, some casual and all in my opinion worth the effort. This is the tour is casual food but in a rural island setting that is what you would expect. But while causal it was clever, unexpected and delicious. You get some local history, introduction to some food you otherwise might not order, and a familiarity with the area where the food tour takes place. This was a fun tour with an enthusiastic host/owner. It is also the most reasonable food tour we have ever taken which is even more surprising as Maui is an expensive place. Could not recommend a tour more highly.

Return to Maui. Looking for that extra discount on local treats? You don’t have to pay those high prices for walking taste tours in Lahaina. Personal small group tour. There were 6 in our group. Head sets available but not really needed. Easy walking. Great food ranging from macadamia nut pancakes to amazing pasta and gelato. You get card entitling you to 10% return discount at restaurants visited. By the way if you have been on any of the 4 taste of Maui tours in past you get discount on all other tours. We have taken several of these tours with this company in past and they vary each year. Good to try new local eating spots before going for full meal.
Tour was lead by Sharon, a Boston by birth but Maui by heart. She has lived here for past 20 years so she knows the extra little spots to thrill the visitors. Looking forward to expanded new area tours next year. Mahalo for a fun and informative tour

My wife and I did the tour with Sharon, and we enjoyed and savoured every moment. Another group ended up cancelling, so it was just the three of us for the whole thing, and it was amazing. From Sharon, who has the local knowledge and is really easy to get along with, to the food and drinks we got to try on the tour, we loved every minute of it. Mahalo Sharon for taking us around Lahaina.

We've done a number of food tours across the US as well as internationally, and this tour was very good. Sharon, the company owner and retired educator, was our pleasant host. My wife and I were her only guests this day in February 2018, which certainly made things more intimate and we were grateful she didn't cancel our tour because there weren't enough people!

We stopped at a number of local restaurants such as Charley's Restaurant & Saloon where we had a nice breakfast. We also stopped by a wonderful local market where the staff allowed us to sample several exotic fruits they had for sale.

Also, the price of this tour is very reasonable....in fact, it was the lowest priced food tour we've ever taken. So that is another plus.

Another plus is that this tour starts early and you are done before lunch, meaning you still have most of your day available to enjoy the island. We walked the streets of Paia, shopped and found some fantastic locally made garments and art. I scored an amazing, one-of-a-kind hand-made men's Hawaiian shirt like nothing I've ever seen! So be sure to shop Paia!

You can definitely tell Sharon is a former educator, as she spends considerable time talking about the area's history, and provides old photos to give you a real sense of the Paia of the past.

I can definitely recommend this tour, and I believe you will enjoy the variety of tastes as you explore the lovely town of Paia!

Sharon was a fantastic guide providing history and great samples of food in Lahaina. Great way to spend a couple hours and get to know the local area as well as sample great food. Highly recommend this tour.
