Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.
We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay. When our kids were getting tired and a bit cranky, she went out and got them water and popsicles. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

We wanted to give this tour 4.5 stars but couldn't. We really enjoyed the sights and the information that our guide Steve provided. He was attentive, informative, and entertaining. One suggestion would be to have a bottle of water available for each tour guest.

Airplane ride was amazing. We were able to see parts of the island you can't via car.

Our guide, Michelle, did a wonderful job explaining the sites. While we travelled between sites, the movie clips on the bus were very entertaining!

We decided to go on the Hawaii Movie and TV Show tour. We had a blast. There were only 2 couples and we actually made a couple side stops. All the places we saw were great to learn about. And the beauty of it all was wonderful too.

This tour was neat for movie buffs and for anyone wanting in depth knowledge about the ins and outs of the island. Kat and Mickey were wonderful tour guides. This was a must do in my book; I just wish we had done it earlier in our trip.

Had 21 people on a bus that holds 24. Ended up in back row of bus with inadequate air conditioning. If you are taller than 5' 9" and over 180 you will not be comfortable.
Your was nice. Guide and driver were great. Lunch was very mediocre.
Unless you are really into older movies, I would not recommend this tour.

We were on this tour on the island of Kauai, as two hurricanes were predicted to hit the Hawaiian Islands. The tour staff were so helpful in helping us prepare in the event of a hurricane (which did not hit, thankfully.) They took their time and even stopped by the WalMart for us to buy some items in case of power outage.
Wendy was our tour guide, and Anthony was our driver. We were in awe of the amount of information these two have about the history, culture, movie stars, and environment. Wendy is hilarious! Not only is she a wealth of information, she kept us laughing the whole trip.
The tour is as advertised. We felt this tour was a very good value for the price paid, and highly recommend this tour!!
The lunch was very good, too.

This is a great way to start your stay on Kauai as it takes you to a lot of different locations on the island. Wendy was a great tour guide, she was very informative and funny. She knew a lot of facts about the movies and where they were filmed as well as the island in general. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed. This tour! Mickey was a fantastic guide who kept us entertained while chubbie was such a good driver. We recommend this tour for the beginning of this trip so that you can go back to some of these places during your trip

We had a great time on this tour - It was also nice that they picked us up from/dropped us off at our hotel. We saw a ton of sights, got some AMAZING scenery shots, learned a lot, and it familiarized us with the island. The tour guide was funny, knowledgeable and really nice. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The reason I rated this tour "Good" is because my husband thinks it was great, and I think it was so-so. Maybe, it's because I don't watch TV often enough and have no idea about movies mentioned on the tour. Unfortunately, we did not stop in the area, where they filmed those few movies I actually watched and liked, so it was a big disappointment for me.
I would not recommend this tour if TV shows or movies are not your passion.

We enjoyed the tour and rank it as one of our best that we have ever taken. The guide was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and was very courteous. We had no idea that Kauai was such a movie making mecca! The structure of the DVD played during the tour was done very well.The addition of singing along with the South Pacific musical song of 'We Ain't Got Dames' was a fitting end to a great tour.
The driver was courteous and very conscious of our needs. We would recommend this to others and have fond memories of this tour

This is a top-notch tour for movie and television lovers alike! The locations picked are ones which are instantly recognizable from the clips played by the tour guides en-route to each place. Many of the locations are absolutely stunning, and provide ample photo opportunities.
The guides on this tour are top-notch and provide detailed information about each stop and the movies/TV shows which were filmed there.
Being able to visit the abandoned Coco Palms was definitely a highlight of this tour. This is an exclusive that only Roberts Hawaii offers and is a big plus for booking with them!
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this tour and highly recommend it to movie fans of all ages!
