What people are saying about Oahu

Kurt was our private guide for the day and did a great job with both the food and the photo part of the tour. There were so many beautiful spots that we went to on this tour - the online description doesn't do this justice. Kurt provided us with some helpful, quick tips about taking better photos with our cellphone cameras. The food provided on this tour is delicious and plentiful - again, the online description doesn't really tell you how much value there is in this tour. We couldn't finish it all and came back to the hotel with lots of leftovers. Kurt was very kind to my partner who was not feeling well the day of our trip. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a good job of giving us information. We had plenty of time at the USS Arizona memorial. The city tour was good, but a little hard to see everything from the bus.

Great tour of Honolulu and guaranteed visit of the USS Arizona. Total of 5 hours. Our tour guide/driver Johnny was awesome. Very informative, highly recommend
