The tour guide was not a tour guide, he was a driver. He was very nice and a very pleasant man but he was NOT a tour guide. His contribution to the tour was to point out at least 20 times his sightings of wild chickens and the occasional cow. It was raining and the tour should have been cancelled and money refunded. But they wanted the tour money apparently. Trying to alleviate the boredom we began asking about things we saw. His response; "I don't know, Google it."

It was awesome. Our tour guide was so informative. All the stops were great. Many places tp take family photos with beautiful scenery

eve_g

Driver was friendly and tried to be informative. The lunch at the food truck was awful. Had to use your hands to peel shrimp, smelled like garlic all day. Too long at the dole factory. Not much to see at the Byodo Temple Not enough about the lifestyle on Oahu. I would not recommend this to others

Sid_R

This was a very comprehensive tour. There is no part of it that I would say overshadowed the rest as each experience was excellent. Actually, there was ONE aspect that truly stood out above all the rest. That part was called Matthew. Our tour guide, Matthew, was a true gem. His driving kept us safe and comfortable, his commentary excelled, and his answers to all our questions were interesting, complete, and often witty. Thank you, Matthew, for our wonderful first day in Honolulu.

We had the BEST time! Our guide was knowledgeable and personable, just what we needed! It was a great mix of sights and things we didn’t know we needed to know. It was the best tour we did when we were there. I wish all my tours were like this one. If you don’t like crowds, this is the tour for you!

Mary_S

It was my first time in Hawaii and I did not know what to expect. Our driver was amazing!! He was very knowledge, kind, and professional. He also knew the best places to eat. He recommended a couple, and they were amazing!! I was so happy with our driver, and all the things we were able to see in this tour. Highly recommend it

hannahderr

Absolutely LOVED this tour. I wish I could remember my guides name, but he was fantastic. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. It’s the perfect way to see the whole island. We did this the first day so we could get an idea of what we may want to explore further

tomnat1

Loved this tour! It has been our favorite tour so far. We did this tour within the first couple of days we were on the island. It takes you to so many different areas/places for just enough time to experience it & decide which areas we really loved so we could go back there and spend more time another day. If we hadn’t gone on this tour, we definitely wouldn’t have a good holistic view of the whole island. Naser, our guide (& friend by the end of the day), was awesome! He definitely made our tour special and was so informative. I wish he could be our tour guide for all of our tours! I absolutely recommend this tour! The breathtaking beauty and the fun, non touristy food truck village we stopped at for lunch are great memories we will have forever!

Lucrecia_R

Our family wasn't sure what more we could possibly experience on the last day of our 8 day island stay, but Naser asked all the right questions, had all the right answers, and made our Circle Island Tour one to never forget! Starting with Malasadas from The most convenient place, to ending up 'on top of the world' looking down on Honolulu and Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor from Tantalus Lookout! Thanks Naser for the wonderful tour...with a personal touch!

We had a great time. Our driver was super friendly, and traveling in a small group is great because you don’t get left behind, and it makes the tour a little more flexible. The only issue we had was that as we were the last to be picked up, we were in the back of the van, which is fine, but it also meant we couldn’t hear very much as the driver didn’t have a microphone. He did try his best to make sure we heard, but it was hard for him to be yelling and sometimes we still couldn’t understand anyway. That part was a little disappointing because we felt a little left out while everyone else was listening. But all in all, the locations were great, our driver was really awesome, and we had a great time!
