A Vacation #1 Choice - We had an incredible day with our tour- especially our driver/tour guide (Uncle D). He made this the best tour we have ever been on. His knowledge and true love for his Island/culture made us truly feel that Ohana (Spirit/love). We will be sure to share our experience with others.

Simply Amazing Customer Care! - This was an amazing adventure! Dylan treated us like family. He had a lot of complaining people on the bus and he somehow managed to make everyone happy and kept a smile on his face the whole time. We had a rocky start to our trip, but by the end we were laughing and enjoying our family like never before. I highly recommend this!!

Pleasant tour & memorable surprise from Dylan - The driver is very skilled, and the young tour guide, Dylan, was very pleasant. I enjoyed his stories and knowledge of the places we visited. He went above and beyond to make our tour a good experience. He had a surprise for us, but I’m not sharing so, others can be surprised by Dylan too, take my word for it, it was an excellent surprise, unexpected, and very memorable. Also, he was a at the bus steps, offering his hand for us to go down the bus safely (a true gentleman).
Thank you Dylan!

10/10 would recommend - Aka (tour guide) and Neal (driver) were incredible. It was great to learn about Hawaiian culture from native Hawaiians while getting the cheat code on how to do Oahu. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see someone expertly drive a megabus while listening to the tales of a true Hawaiian.

An enduring experience! - Our tour guide (Jake M.) was exceptional, while the driver was professionally very good. The choice of sites visited are commendable. Jake the guide's historic knowledge of Hawaii, especially Oahu Island, coupled with his unique communication methodology inspired close friendly relationship with everyone in the tour. Jake engaged all of us collectively and individually. What a pleasure! Thank you Grand Circle Island Tour.

Fantastic Tour with Great Stories - I had an amazing experience with this tour. The pickup was smooth and on time, and the host was generous with drinks and snacks. Our fantastic tour guide, Aka, shared plenty of stories and taught us a lot about native Hawaiian culture.
My only complaint is that it gets loud in the back of the bus when it’s running, making it hard to hear the guide and causing me to miss out on many of Aka’s stories.

Best way to see Honolulu's attractions - Great company to book with. We were at the wrong meeting point and they went out of their way to pick us up. Jeremy was our friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide and was entertaining for the whole day tour. Victor was our skillful bus driver and very friendly to. A great day out.

Great day out - We had a wonderful day with Jack, highly entertaining and our very competent driver Noelle. Both were excellent and Jack was very knowledgeable telling us local history and where various celebrities had lived. The weather was fine too and we had a good amount of time to spend with the turtles. The stops were enjoyable and we were given good advice at each one, Thanks!
