This trip started off the wonderful vacation that my mom and I took to Oahu and it couldn't have been better. Guide is absolutely an asset to your tour company and I wouldn't hand pick anyone better. He knew his history and features of the island and had a great personality. Great trip and WELL worth the money!

The tour was great. The scenic places that we visited were just wonderful and breathtaking. This is the "real piece" of Hawaii! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He gave us short history of every place, was very friendly and has a good sense of humor. This was my third time to have this tour, and I would definitely do it again everytime I come to visit.
