Guide was very nice and friendly. He showed us around the island. We enjoyed his company. The tour did include a shrimp truck lunch but didn’t include coffee or beer as advertised. You will have to pay for those yourself. However, our guide did treat us to a Leonard’s donut which was absolutely delicious.

Bill was an excellent tour guide. He knew so much about the area in general, including all the sights in itinerary. Its a long day but it went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Bill and the Circle tour!
This is a great tour of Oahu. JP the tour guide is knowledgeable with history and current events of the island. We stop at all the locations without being rushed. The food spots were great and local.
Awesome tour of the island with cool stops for food along the way. Tyler was a knowledgeable and fun local guide who made the experience great. He knew the best spots.
Great experience! Tyler was a great tour guide. Able to tour and try lots of foods/ drinks! Loved it!
It was an awesome tour. Tyler was our tour guide and was very informative. It was great seeing what the island had to offer outside of Honolulu
My family and I had an amazing experience! Tyler was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and helpful about various things to see and learn about Oahu. He also added lots of humor to a day filled with new experiences.
We had a great day! Our guide, Tyler, was excellent. He had so much Hawaiian history and facts to share that made our tour wonderful. We made many stops and were able to taste some great Hawaiian foods. The shrimp stand we stopped at was great! We enjoyed cracking open macadamia nuts and trying local coffee! Would highly recommend.
Tyler was knowledgeable, patient, and fun! All the food choices were delicious, especially the lunch place (wish I could remember the name of it). You could tell the shrimp was super fresh and well seasoned, but my favorite part it was away from most of the crowds. We got to tailor some parts of the tour based on most of the group's interests, so that was nice
The tour guide was knowledgeable and we got an authentic experience. We saw a lot of the Hawaiian culture in a short period of time.
Tyler was great! I love the beautiful view of Hawaii. Take this tour if you want to see the beautiful mountains in Hawaii.
Our driver was very knowledgeable, wonderful and polite. Our vehicle did break down, but they went out of their way to get us to Hotel. Then they gave everybody a gift card for the breakdown. But we all had a wonderful time and would book it again.
We enjoyed all our stops which were many. The views of the coast line are outstanding as was our shrimp lunch!! Nassir was a great guide, funny and very pleasant. Dole Plantation, macadamia nut farm all yummy!!
Driver EXCELLENT. Plenty of time to look around at each stop. Small group so you don’t feel like you are being rushed or herded like cats. Would recommend if the stops are of interest to you.
Naser was a wonderful tour guide! We enjoyed every stop and all the food. Stops were timed perfectly and we had plenty of time. Van was comfortable and Naser is a great driver. First time in Oahu and we would have been upset to miss the beautiful North Shore area. A wonderful day!
Nasar our tour guide was awesome! We travelled in a small group fun group. Food was OK, too many sweet foods. Van broke down and we had to wait an hour for the replacement van showed up and all we were compensated was an Ice—very disappointed with that.
We had such a great time!!! The tour around the island was the best!!! Food was delicious. Thank you!!
We were trying to find something fun to do with my 78 year old mother that she could physically handle, and this was perfect. We toured the island and ate delicious food for 9 hours. Our guide, Nassir, graciously helped my mom get in and out of the van all day. He was truly invested into making sure we all had a good time and was not canned or corny in his presentation of different aspects of Oahu and it's culture.
I really enjoyed the food tour. Great and relaxing day. Great tour of food and Oahu. Highly recommend to do.
The best tour I did on my vacation. Prompt pick our driver made the day memorable for everyone. Lots of food and sights thru out the day . Would do it again in a heart beat
We had an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and kind! My three year old and 9month old daughters were the only children on the tour and he made sure to include them in every way possible as well as remind me that the van had the AC on if I needed to take them to sit down out of the sun or nurse the baby! The group really became like family throughout the day and every stop was absolutely incredible! All the food was great~ malasdas were so delicious, the shrimp lunch was messy but fantastic, the coffee and macadamia nut tasting was fun, and the shaved ice and dole whip to end the trip really were the icing on the cake!! Overall the whole day was well worth the time and money! We loved it!!!
Great tour getting to see the Island and learning about history and culture Plenty of stops and food, only shrimp is available and like me if you don't like it there is no substitute Driver was amazing and very knowledgeable
Such a wonderful tour! Our guide was so friendly and helpful. He took the time to learn about us and customize parts of the tour to meet our interests. There were things we experienced that I never would have if I had tried to plan this myself. This was a fantastic way to start my trip to Hawaii!!
They cancelled this tour and change to a different one… they promised to refund me some of my payment. The driver Nassir is awesome!
Dole Plantation was good. The tour was more than what I expected. Tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable.
The van was filthy, the driver seemed to be in a hurry, he also skipped the tequila and beer stops and instead bought us shave ice! Even though I told him we would rather stick to the planned stops because that's why we booked this tour, he did not.
Nice Island Tour with lots of stops to see different parts of the island. Our tour guide was funny, nice, informative in making the tour one to remember. It was a smaller group that made it easier to enjoy the experience. The food was good. Just wished there was more time to stop at locations but there's alot to see in a day.
Our guide, Naseer, was great! Our family does a food tour in every new city or country that we visit so we have a lot to compare it to. The sightseeing aspect made this one one of the very best. We saw A LOT of Oahu and had some yummy food along the way. Our guide quickly adapted the tour to meet our group (several minors) so we had some different options than what was listed which was very much appreciated.
Energetic and knowledgeable guide! He was also a great driver. Highly recommend. You will be very full at the end of this tour.
We had a small group and the couple that was in our group was delightful. The tour guide, Naser, was excellent! We saw so many beautiful sights and each stop for food was such a treat! The malasadas were warm and mine was full of scrumptious custard. The lunch of mildly garlic flavored shrimp, macaroni salad and rice made a delicious combination and was totally enjoyed!! The treat awaiting us at Matsumotos Shave Ice was something I’d never seen before. I had a small (which was huge) pina colada flavored shave ice with vanilla ice cream in the bottom and condensed milk drizzled on top. Sounds strange to have ice cream and shaved ice together but it was a delicious combination. The next stop was at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and a Dole pineapple whip was like eating a pineapple smoothie, smooth and tasty. The last stop was at Green World Coffee Farm for some very smooth coffee to finish off the tour. Conversation was entertaining and Naser was full of facts describing all the sights we stopped at to photograph. It was like a private tour for photographing, with an extra bonus of wonderful treats! Really great tour! I highly recommend!!
The views were amazing. Our driver stopped at a few poplar sightseeing places for us to get some great pictures. I loved our drivers sense of humor and knowledge of the Island 🏝. I like this tour because we got to see the whole island of Oahu.
What a trip! Very fun. Nassar is so awesome! Thank you for making this an experience of a lifetime! Will definently recommend.
Tour was great, very knowledgeable of all the places we saw. My suggestion to people taking the tour is to bring a backpack, plenty of stops where you can pick up nice souvenirs.
Our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable and funny. It’s a very long day but he kept us engaged the entire time. I will definitely do this again when I return.
Good little tour. Nassar was helpful and was accommadating. Some of the places were closed which was a little disappointing.. Probably just needed a little more information about Hawaiian history for any first timers
I enjoyed the tour for the mostly, but it wasn’t as long as listed on the itinerary and we didn’t go to everything listed either.
2/9/23 - Island Tour was great! With our group of 6, we had a private coach and guide. Our guide, Nassar, was super friendly and knowledgeable about areas visited and culture. Due to road construction on our way to the North Shore we were unable to visit one area, but he more than made up for it with a visit to the Byodo-In Temple Memorial Park. I would have never seen this beautiful site otherwise. From the malasadas to the garlic shrimp, the food was outstanding. Great job Nassar and Viator for offering this tour!
Our guide Nassar was a delight. He kept us entertained, informed and loving the tour. Oahu is an amazing island with many places to see and things to do. This is a great combination of attractions and food. The Beaches you visit are stunning and with someone else driving you can just sit back and marvel at the water and the coast. The food is quite delightful. Even though we missed a couple of locations due to road conditions / closures it was more than made up in other stops and additional time at the Dole plantation.
My husband and I had a very nice name. We seen lots and our tour guild was very helpful an full of information. The food we had was just the best of the island.
Enjoyed this tour and the guide was extremely friendly and helped in giving us a memorable experience.
The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! He made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The tour takes you around the island and frequented spots that also have additional snacks for purchase! If you're a foodie or a visitor hoping to find the best spots to spend some extra leisure time on the island, definitely book!
Our tour guide was amazing. We felt like family right away. He was very knowledgeable not only on the tour spots but the entire island. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Had a great time
Really wonderful tour to experience all the beauty that the island Oahu has to offer. Fun and friendly local tour guide.
We enjoyed this tour! The food was fabulous and our quite was very knowledgeable. This is a great way to enjoy the island
Everything was amazing! definitely recommend visiting Pearl Harbor, hiking Diamond Head, & attending the Paradise Cove Luau
James was fun and energetic!! We had a great time exploring a portion of the Island. We made several stops for sightseeing and food. It was a lot of fun!
Seeing the island was a great experience and the tour guide was enthusiastic which made the day run smoothly.
We had a great time!! The North Shore is stunning, and our tour guide James did a great job showing us around.
I am having trouble uploading my beautiful pictures but this tour was amazing from beginning to end. James and Sydney were amazing guides both friendly and informative. My highlight was the malasada and all the beautiful views we saw. This tour was great way to see and taste everything that Oahu had to offer, the tour guides even gave us gifts including candy and delicious chips. This tour was a highlight of my trip and definitely worth it if you wanted to taste and experience Oahu in a day ♥️♥️♥️
Had an absolutely amazing time! The driver/guide was fun and knowledgeable and they treated our party to just a fantastic day. I’m so glad we chose to upgrade to this tour!!
