Tours By Carter Join us for a raucous ride through Honolulu's scandalous past. With Honolulu Exposed Walking Tours, you'll discover a whole other side of Hawaii!

In 90 minutes, we'll share with you tales of the "boogie houses," where sailors would go to experience the comforts of the oldest profession. We'll wander down Chinatown's historic Hotel Street Bar District, where revelers even today come for the cheapest, strongest drinks in town. And we'll show you Old Ironside Tattoo, where Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins crafted his iconic art. Over 18 recommended. (All photos on this page are either taken by visitors of the tour or are in the public domain. Please feel free to share them - we think they're pretty awesome)

My Women's History Tour:
I talk about the lives of six different women in Seattle's history. I stand where they once stood and discuss significant events in their lives. Coincidentally they all were pretty close to each other but at different times.

The first woman I talk about is Chief Seattle's first born daughter, Angeline Seattle. I also show you where Violet MacNeal used to swindle men, where Madam Lou's "parlor house" stands, and where the first female mayor of a major American city worked! The tour is very funny but also poignant.
