This was my first tour on my first trip to Hawaii. I really did not know what to expect. I completely enjoyed the tour. The narrative was interesting and there were plenty of stops and breaks. I would recommend this tour to anyone who was asking about tours in Hawaii.

The tour was wonderful and allowed us to see things we would not have been able to had we not taken the tour. Our tour guide was not only very well informed about he island, he was also quite humourous and personable.

Aloha,
This has been a great experience for several reasons: comfort (bus), scenery, tour guide (bus driver). Leo, our tour guide, several times asked if it was too hot/too cold inside the bus. You could tell he cared for his passengers. The seating and the windows were excellent.
And what about the scenery! The stops were well selected (Japanese Temple, lookout point,etc). It really felt like we were in paradise (I guess we were...).
Our bus driver, Leo, was not good, he was awesome. His sense of humour, his insightful comments and his driving really made this tour one of the highlights of my stay in Honolulu.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate this tour a definite 15 !

We were very glad to do this tour of Oahu, as when you are in Waikiki you are only in the city and do not get to see the true beauty of the island. Our tour driver, Garfield, was great. He explained all the sites and even stopped at a Macadamia Nut store for us which was not originally a part of the tour. The Dole plantation I felt was a little bit disappointing as there was not much to see (just people waiting in line for Dole Whip), but I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see other parts of Oahu.

We went on the grand circle tour on Sunday 9th May, which was Mothers Day, and all the mothers on the coach were presented with a lovely lei - a lovely little treat to start the day. The tour was absolutely lovely and our tour guide/driver was brilliant - both comical and informative and helped to make the day extra special. Highly recommended way of seeing the island for the first time.

My family and I had a great time on the tour. We saw a lot of the things we wanted to see in the one tour.
As we didnt have a long time in Oahu this was ideal. We all agreed it was the driver, who was an amazing
host, that made the day a fun experience.
