“What a FANTASTIC TOUR with our driver/tour guide AUGUST (Oahu Grand Circle Island and Haleiwa Tour). August was great 100%; very knowledgeable, professional, (( was traveling Solo with a group of people I did not know prior to tour) and August offered on ALL stops to take pictures of me "capturing the landscape, signs, etc. We had a delicious lunch at Tanaka's Shrimp Shack and August had me find a table, sit down and he picked up my lunch from counter up front and brought to me along with drink.

“Loved this small group experience that made the most of a guided tour around the island! Tyrone was fantastic and made the experience so enjoyable with his upbeat yet easy laid back style! I really enjoyed the mix of stops with just the right amount of time at each. No rushing and no lingering too long either. I appreciate that we got an early start and were always just ahead of the bigger groups and tour buses. This tour didn’t have the thousands of reviews the others did, but the reviews it had were great! Glad I scrolled past the other proposed tours and picked this one! As I mentioned…”

“Very pleased to see island away from Waikiki Beach. 8-person shuttle was excellent. Great viewing through windows. Enjoyed the natural beauty of the trip. Suggested revision: Minimize the repititive comments. For example, each time we drove by the three to four different golf courses, our driver said: "$30,000 memebership fee each year and $600 cost for each round of golf". Seems unlikely. Not interested. Suggested revision: Change the "dining stop" from Tanakas to other. The outside dining tables were pestered by flies. Six choices of shrimp. One choice of chicken tenders.”

“Because of your unclear email explaining pick up points I have four tickets that I never used because you didn’t say we had to call for a different one. Of course no refund. A wasted day on a very expensive vacation. Poor customer service. If in the email you would’ve stated I had to call to arrange an alternative then I would have.”
