COMMENTS FROM TOUR GUESTS
"HIRING GENO WAS LIKE HAVING A BEST FRIEND TAKE YOU AROUND ON A PERSONALIZED TOUR OF HIS ISLAND. WE GOT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOGISTICS. GENO DID ALL OF THAT FOR US, AND HE ADDED TO THE EXPERIENCE WITH HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE AND WITH LOCAL FLAVOR. WE ENJOYED GOOD STORIES WHILE TOURING, NOT JUST THE FACTS. GENO WAS AN INTERESTING AND FUNNY STORYTELLER, ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS. GENO WAS THE MOST WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT WE MADE DURING OUR WHOLE VACATION.
THANKS AGAIN!

"WE HAD A TERRIFIC DAY WITH GENO. HE WAS AN EXCELLENT TOUR GUIDE AND HAD FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA. WE WERE ABLE TO SEE FAR MORE THAN ANY PERSON ON OUR CRUISE SHIP, AND OUR TRIP FAR EXCEEDED ANYTHING THAT THE CRUISE SHIP COULD OFFER. WE WILL DEFINITELY BOOK WITH GENO AGAIN".

"THANKS AGAIN FOR SHOWING US AROUND THE BIG ISLAND. IT WAS A FUN DAY, AND YOU ARE A GREAT GUY. WE DEFINITELY HAVE A BUNCH OF GREAT MEMORIES. YOU WERE GREAT WITH BOTH MY 80 YR. OLD DAD AND OUR 3 YEAR OLD AMELIE! SHE MISSES HER "UNCLE GENO".

"GENO WAS A GREAT GUIDE: PERSONABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, ENTERTAINING, AND MUCH MORE. WE LEARNED SO MUCH, AND LOVED NOT WORRYING ABOUT DRIVING AND DIRECTIONS. PLUS HIS RATES ARE QUITE RESONABLE COMPARED TO THE TOUR COMPANIES.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GENO."

"IT WAS THE BEST VACATION AND TOUR I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!! GENO IS THE "KING OF THE BIG ISLAND! THANKS GENO FOR THE INCREDIBLE AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. THE BEACHES AND MOUNTAIN VALLEYS WERE INCREDIBLE, WHO KNEW THERE WAS SO MUCH TO SEE ON THIS VOLCANIC ROCK OF AN ISLAND."

“MAHALOS FOR THE AWESOME TOUR AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BIG ISLAND, VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK, AND THE LAVA FLOWS WHICH WAS AWESOME!! YOUR TOUR CHARGE IS REALLY GREAT. WE GOT THE INSIDE SCOOPS, SECRET SPOTS, HISTORY AND MUCH MORE. YOUR ALOHA SPIRIT WAS MUCH APPRECIATED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO ANYONE, OH, BUT THERE IS ONE COMPLAINT……YOU NEED TO PRACTICE YOUR SPANISH!!
MUCH THANKS,

HOW THIS STARTED
Aloha,
While working in the hotel industry, I regularly heard similar frustrations and complaints from the guests. Common displeasures were:
While working in the hotel industry, I regularly heard similar frustrations and complaints from the guests. Common displeasures were:
*We have children, and we don't know where to go as a family
*We took a tour bus, and we wanted to stay at some of the locations. but we had to get back on the bus to leave. We felt like it was a jail/prisoner bus. Nothing catered to our children.
*On our tour bus, every 4th stop was a gift shop.
*If we rented a car, we just don't know where to go.
*We feel trapped in our hotel area.
*We want to see real Hawaii, not man made things at our hotel grounds.
*We tried to see as much as we could, and we found our whole vacation was too rushed, and we never really relaxed.
*WE WISH THERE WAS A TOUR GUIDE THAT WOULD TAKE US WHERE WE WANT TO GO!!
Because I felt for these people, I have created a personal guide service on the Big Island. I am an independent guide and a resident of the Big Island for over 40 years. I am also a single father of 2 beautiful boys, ages 16 and 15.
Hire me and allow me to show you places of your interest. Whether you are a family with children, newly married, or physically fit for adventure, I will help you adjust your tour. Your destinations with me will be by your choice. Tell me what you desire, and I will give you options to choose from. I will also adjust your tour to meet your physical needs or limitations.
I WILL JOIN YOU IN YOUR RENTAL CAR. If your car is not available, see my "Rates" for another possible option. Waterfalls, secret hikes, beaches, old Hawaiian towns, lush jungles, tour organic farms, ....WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST?
Respect the land, and support small local family businesses that I will connect you with. The Aloha Spirit will circle back to you.
Do you want to get the heck out of an overpriced "Foo Foo" hotel and stay in a fully furnished, older Hawaiian house in a quaint little town? I can also arrange this lodging.
I am available most days, unless I am already booked. Allow me to make your visit to the Big Island one of your most memorable trips ever!! Make your reservations NOW, before I am booked during your holiday stay. References available upon request.
