Oahu GyPSy Guide Driving Tour for iPhone

We were told about this app by a taxi driver in Oahu!! It was so great!! We had our very own tour guide!! I’ll definitely be looking on it for our next vacation!!!

I don’t typically write an actual review for an app, so the fact that I’m doing that means a lot! This app was perfect. We considered taking a circle tour of Oahu while on vacation. At several hundred dollars a person, we opted to rent a car and tour the island ourselves. Randomly, I came across this app and can say that I’m glad I did. It is incredibly accurate and makes traveling safe and comfortable from your own car. The ONLY thing I’d recommend is that there be a function to control the guidance volumeZ every time the narrator spoke, I had to turn the volume up in the car, and then back down once he was done. But even with that, I still give it 5 stars without hesitation!

Great tour guide. We had such a great time while driving around the island and using the app. We had fun and learned at the same same time. It was like Sheldon Coppers fun with flags. The information supplied was great for the whole family. It gave side tours if you had time and kept up with location. I would recommend this app as it was recommended to us.

The tour was great. Worked perfectly, I only got off track in a couple places, but I would blame that on the Honolulu traffic. Some of the recommended stops are places I never would have come up with on my own. Honestly the only fault I see is in the name... I know you’ve built a brand, but it’s hard to recommend to friends when the name includes a word many see as a slur.

Absolutely fantastic! Cannot recommend it enough. We came to love the narrator so much we gave him a name! Directions were far better than GPS. Thanks for helping us make our Hawaiian vacation so pleasurable. Will use this guide at other locations.

My entire family absolutely loved this app. We toured Oahu clockwise and loved so much we did half again in reverse. My daughters looked up the narrator and “talked” to him during our tour. This is the best $8 you will spend.

We were researching options for circle island tours of Oahu, but struggled with only getting 10-15 minutes at any stop. So we decided to rent an car and I started looking for self directed suggested tours and GypsyGuide popped up. We decided to go out on a limb and try it! Was the best money we spent ! The commentary was wonderful, funny and informative. We got to see places that not even our friend whom had lived in the island for 3 months knew about. The directions were easy to follow. Great tour , would highly recommend !!

We first heard about GyPSy Guide when we went from Banff to Jasoer. We found it incredibly informative and entertaining. So on our first trip to Hawaii, I got the island package and first used it on Kauai. I really can’t say enough superlative words about the app. It was obvious on the road to Jasper how it worked because there was only one road, but it worked just as beautifully with choices. “Fred” helped us choose where to go, gave us lots of information about the history, culture, geology, and flora/fauna and weather. It tells you what is a must see and what to do or pass up depending on time. He speaks with humor and has a good voice. I like how he reminds of previous stories and continues them at various points. It was great for our 2 days on Oahu and then the 7 days on the Big Island. “Fred” even did a great job of explaining not only what to see in Volcano National Park and how to use our limited time wisely, but also about the important geology, history and biology related to the park. I seriously will purchase every single one available for every road trip or vacation we do from now on!!!!

We had a time box, so we picked only the stops that most interested us. We loved being able to discover great new things, and skip what we wanted. We even took our own stops and detours along the route and the guide caught up as soon as we returned to the route. Super high quality.

I live on Oahu for work. Despite the many guides and services available to tell you what the island features are, nothing beats the flexibility of a self guided tour. This app goes beyond that, and offers a friendly companion who knows exactly what you need along your visit. The history narrations are priceless and can send you down great explorations of the different topics relevant to the island. My wife and I often do the hop on hop off tours to get the history and find out what’s available locally in given area. Well, having this app is like owning your very own private tour. We love it!!
