Oahu GyPSy Guide Driving Tour Recenzje App

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!!

Can I get a referral fee code? I tell everyone who comes to Hawaii that these apps are a must have, and of course they all find out that I’m absolutely right. But seriously . . . I’ll take a code or something. 🤙🏽

Very informative. The narrator guides you through turns just as Maps would. We love the narratives about the history of Hawaii as you drive the route. Also like that it doesn’t try to constantly speak and leaves gaps in the commentary. Just note that it doesn’t guide you to get to the route, only once you’re on it. Use Maps to get to any point on the route then you’re good. The only negative is the huge difference in volume between the narrator and the music interludes. We constantly had to adjust volume until giving up and stopping the music. No big deal.

This app made the drive around Oahu so much more interesting. Many insights. Points out sights you wouldn’t know. Gave history, geology, culture. A must.

I used this app to drive around Oahu and Big Island on my Hawaii trip last week. Really awesome app, it gives you information and directions based on where you are at on island. I get how the app works, but it still felt like I had a real time personal tour guide. On Oahu this was all I needed; I thought I’d do the $100+ bus trip, but much happier I used this app with a rental car (less rushed, stop at areas I wanted to) . I used it on Big Island as well , but only on days I drove from Kona to Volcano Park and to Hilo. I did do a $100 big island bus tour, but that was because I didn’t want to drive entire circle myself.

My hotel concierge actually recommended this app to me and I’m SO glad she did! The narration is very clear, informative and fun! I loved his little jokes throughout the tours! We learned so much about Oahu and saw the best sites! I loved how he gave advice about “can sees” vs “must sees” and details about how much time things will take so we could make the best decision based on our schedule! I highly highly recommend this app!

We decided to download this app and rent a car as opposed to paying for tour excursions. The money we saved paid for the rental car. The information this app provide was great, and led us to some sites we had not discovered in our own research. The narrator was funny, had an easy to understand voice and gave a lot of history we found interesting a normal tour guide normally wouldn’t give or you wouldn’t be able to hear. The information was well spaced out so you had the right amount of silence and talking, and the app provided directions on turns faster and more accurately then the map app we had running. The only thing I wish the app did was cache the tracks it had already played and not play them again unless marked to do so. As Oahu only has a couple main highways we found ourselves traveling over the same areas during the time we were there and would hear the same information. We started playing the app once we got to new areas. Other then that it was great and we will continue to buy the app in any other locations they offer this service!

Good application in general, but browsing routes before going is rather frustrating as reaching audio comments is not working well, some are available by tapping the arrows but some are stubbornly unresponsive. may be making those circles bigger would help?

So on a whim I took my teenagers to Oahu for a vacation. Being a no plan type of guy I figured we would just wing it and do stuff. This app was recommended by the lady next to me and what a blessing that was. We spent the first two days of our trip driving around following the guided tour, stopping off at all the recommended roadside stands and areas of interest. Then proceeded to then go back to our favorite spots for the remained of the week. I cannot believe it’s only $10 ! . Get this before you go 100%! PS. please do an Iceland app! Also the dude needs a woman to also chime in occasionally (my daughters comment).

Great app but compare to the Maui Gypsy guide this not so good but for 6.99 its good purchase and helpful. Map showing wrong path in at least one place and that took me to the other side of the island. Map always showing north facing which is difficult to follow.

My family decided to get this app after arriving in Hawaii and not knowing whether to get a tour guide or not. We decided to try gypsy and is it wasn’t good, get a tour guide. However, this app exceeded all expectations.The guide led us to all the interesting locations and scenic points in Oahu. The guide is very easy to use and gives information about Hawaii and and the different locations. You can jump on the tour anywhere on the road and the guide will give you directions to must see locations and locations that are suggested. We did both tours, the Island Circle tour and the Volcanoes and Beaches tour. On the Island Circle, the guide with very understandable directions, led us past Pearl Harbor, the North Beaches, the Dole Plantation, the Polynesian Culture Center, the Japanese temple, and much more (my personal favorite being the beach with sea turtles). Along with these main attractions, we were led to many picturesque spots and some specifically chosen stores. Between attractions, the guide told us about Hawaii itself, its history and culture, and the language. The app itself has no problems in functionality, but you might want to bring a charging cord or extra battery. Additionally, the app allows you to use other applications, such as the camera, while the tour is in progress. The gypsy app is much better alternative to a conventional tour, with the user able to operate it by themself and able to choose select locations to travel to, all while in the comfort of one’s car. This app exceeds expectations while being a meager $7, a stark difference from the hundreds you might pay for a in person tour. Hope this helped any hesitant users. Mahalo!

We rented a car and drove around Oahu, Hawaii. This app was so informative and lots of fun. You feel like you have your own local tour guy in the car with you.

I have lived here several years and I still learned about areas I had never heard of using the app. His tours are amazing and I recommend them to everyone. The only thing I would change about this one is that he says to avoid the west side of the island. Dude, the west side is the best side. There are so many great hikes out that way and the sunsets are spectacular. Kaena Point is one hike I recommend to everyone who visits me. Heck, my favorite beach is on the west side. Obviously don’t leave anything valuable in your car but that’s recommend for anywhere you go on island.

We have used the Gypsy apps in several places in Hawaii and the mainland US. We love it. It gives you lots a very useful information. It is educational and tells stories. All ages will love it!

I’ve used the Hana and Oahu Gypsy Guides and LOVED them. They’ve added a rich, EASY depth to our travels — so now we always look for GG whenever we head on a trip. Voice is great; Details are excellent; Ease of use is wonderful. WE LOVE GG!!!!

We enjoyed the app. The narrator was informative and timely. I did wish that at some points beginning around the North shore, a mention of how far or how long it would take to get back to Waikiki would have helped me plan how long to stay at certain spots. Great app for the price couldn’t have made my drive without it!

We learned things we’d never have learned otherwise and we went to places we’d never have found... This is a great App and highly recommended...

We thought of Oahu as just Honolulu, Waikiki and Pearl Harbor. This app showed us so many beautiful treasures on the island! We highly recommend this Gypsy Tour. We’re heading out now to do the Kauai Gypsy Tour❤️

This app is so nice. We loved it. It is informative AND entertaining! I came to Oahu 10 years ago in 2008 and paid for an island tour. And it is so true, those island tours stop at places you don’t care about and don’t stay long enough at The places you do want to see. You can rent a car through TURO app for a few days, cheaper than a family could take an island tour. (It may not be good for older folks Or paranoid people that shouldn’t be driving in new places though )This time I knew I wanted to stay on the north shore and stay away from the crowds. This app was so perfect for our trip. Between getting the info from it and using google maps when we were not on the tour it was a Nice combo !

We downloaded this after our excursion was canceled. It was probably the best part of our trip so far!! The narrator is very easy to listen to and very informative. The app follows your location very well!!! I would recommend this app to anyone and everyone!! Only two small things would make this app amazing. For it to 100% work while in the background. If you go to a text or listen to Pandora it may skip some of the narrative. Or a couple of the places where you needed to turn off weren’t clearly defined like pipeline beach or turtle Beach. We missed the turn offs for those because he said he would let us know where to turn and didn’t. We just looked up a regular map and realized we’d missed it and turned around. Even the narrative driving back to Waikiki was very informative and fun.

I’ve been to Oahu many times but on this occasion I brought some friends that wanted to see the whole island. I bought the app because i used the same company App on Maui. It is just a great program. It’s spot on with locations and provides good commentary. It divides the island up in 4 ways and you choose what you want to see. I had a technical issue and called the help number fully intending to listen to pre recordings. I was shocked when I got a real person and got personal service. I’ve never been more impressed with an app. Highly recommend this app.

We were able to see everything on the Island. Great directions and informative dialogue.

So impressed that I’m writing a review. I’ve never written a review for an App. That’s how impressed I am with this app. We affectionately named our guide Mr. Man. Mr. Man is the most pleasant and helpful guide I’ve ever had. Appreciate the driving directions and the stories and history. Have to say this beats all other alternatives hands down. While there were just a couple of sites I missed due to lack of attention on my part, I had the opportunity to see and learn so much more than if I did self guide.

This app is like having a relative who moved here a decade ago showing you around the island, corny jokes and all. But it’s really a great tour and will show you things you wouldn’t see or give you history or facts that you’d never know. Sure you could look it up or research places to go, but this will tell you about them as you drive there and give you directions along the way. Well worth the few bucks.

I was very happy with the app. It was user-friendly and it was easy to navigate with. We learned a great deal about the tour we did. The combination of a GPS service and a tour guide is an excellent idea. -Ricardo and Gabe

This is our second time using Gypsy tours. We LOVED the Yellowstone one and were so happy to use this Oahu one as well. He helped us find our favorite beach of all. He was with us on our entire vacation. We love the history lesson as well. I tell all my friends about it and include it in my blog. You will not be disappointed!

We visited the islands this past December. I bought the Oahu and Big Island ahead of time and then wished I bought the others in advance as well. I can’t say enough good things about the app. As you drive, the narrator gives a tour as you drive over dots on the road telling you which places not to miss and which to save if you are short on time. In addition, he tells fun little tidbits about the island.

This is a great tour app. Love the color commentary. Easy to use. A must buy for Oahu!!!

I have used the Yellowstone, Maui and O'ahu Gypsy Tour apps and absolutely loved each of them. I will definitely buy the app anytime we go to an area that is covered. You do not need to hire a tour guide. All you need is a vehicle, Gypsy Tour on your smart phone and a power cord for your phone to stay charged. The app knows exactly where you are, guides you to all attractions, tells you which ones to skip or not miss, suggested roadside food places and provides lots of historical information. The cost of the app was the best money that we spent on each of our trips. It is outstanding and incredibly helpful.

We were driving around Honolulu not knowing where to go next and I'd seen an ad for this app so I went and bought it. Once I had it downloaded we had a tour guide in our car with us. As a result we were able to visit all kinds of scenic viewpoints and attractions right away. We did both the Island Circle and Volcanoes tours, and came back for a couple of things we didn't have time to do during the drive. A couple suggestions, make it play nice with iTunes Player so I can listen to music and just get a pause / resume when an arrow comes up. Also, the Pearl Harbor "tour" just seems like directions to the parking lot, was there something I missed? The commentary is so good, why not add more tours around the island? Mahalo for the fun tours!

We found this tour made our stay very enjoyable. We learned things we would not have known otherwise.

We Used this app for self driving tours of Maui and Oahu, and it never let us down. It has it all: an informative and interesting audio tour guide, practical tips on where to find parking ( you will need them in Hawaii), snack and meal recommendations, driving directions, and more. We especially appreciated that all the suggestions were timed very well, we never missed a turn. Don't get mislead by the basic graphics, the audio content is rich! I wish we knew about this app on our trip to Yellowstone!

Purchased GyPSy Oahu after great experience with the Maui edition. Very disappointed with lack of bi-directional support...we chose to explore around the island counter-clockwise before discovering the commentary is supported only in the other direction.

I thought this app was really well done. The commentary was very clear. But here's the rub. You have to drive in the direction of the arrows. I wanted to go from waikiki along the SW coast, then up the windward side. The 1st half was great, but then the trip i was on returned to waikiki. I wanted to continue up along to the north shore. Only problem was even though i was now on a different tour, i was going opposite direction of the arrows. You get no commentaries when you go against the arrows. Ok, so heres what i want. A reverse tour direction button.

We purchased this app to tour around Oahu. The driving directions and tips were clear and very timely. We honestly would have driven right by some of the most beautiful and memorable spots had our tour guide not told us that these were "no miss" sights. It was brilliant and quite entertaining. A fellow tourist poolside at our hotel bragged to me that they got a great deal ($179 for four) for an excursion to the USS Memorial. She quickly changed the subject when I told her we toured the entire Island and learned and saw so much for just $6.99 - the cost of downloading the app! I'd definitely purchase it again when touring other locations.

Great tour. We need to have this for more destinations. We named our narrator Roy Halapuoa and talked to him through this tour. The only suggestion I have is to play some Hawaiian music in between narrations. The narration was spot on with our locations all along the way.

A tour bus trip of the island is about $40.00 person and takes all day. 3 people $120.00 1 car rental and $6.99 app. This was great.. I learned lots of interesting stuff, skipped places I was not interested in and I wasn't tied down to a bus schedule.

Used this app over the last two days and all I can say is buy it! If you are traveling to Oahu and are thinking about a tour, forget that tour, rent a car and do it yourself. This app is entertaining and every bit of commentary is spot on. You can do all of it or part of it and do it all on your schedule. We loved it!

Loved it; saw so many cool things - on our time, in our car - awesome and a must for Hawaii

These tours are awesome. They allow you to enjoy the tour w/ the privacy of your own family. You can stop & go as you please; spend as much time or as little, at any of the suggested stops. The ages in our group range from 35 -70 & so far, everyone has enjoyed it. We have purchased the app for Maui & Oahu & sometimes just like to drive around & turn it on to see what the guide has to say. It always provides information about where you are, tips on where to eat & things you should get out & see. Get the full tour! Best $10 you'll spend on the island.
