Our tour guide Nasar (sp?) was great he was so informative and friendly. We had a great time, and the day of the tour was our best day of vacation.

Scheduled last minute the night before directly with a Viator Rep which took 1/2 hr of my time. Then within 10min after all that I received a text that they are not doing the Circle tour and instead a food tour, $50 more and same route except for no Byodo-in Temple, which was main place we wanted to go. So a bit disappointed after spending all that time scheduling it.

Aloha, We wish this could have been avoided as the reservation was made the night before the tour. This was an oversight on our part for not closing off the availability early on, so we truly apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out to us directly next time you are in Hawaii, and we will be sure to take care of you guys. Thank you and take care.

Our driver and tour guide, Fred, shared with us information about Oahu, its culture, good places to eat and visit. He gave us suggestions that will help us for the remainder of our stay here. Fred is a very safe driver and his thoughtfulness to each one of his passengers came through in every aspect of our day. I would do today all over again with Fred!
