We had an amazing tour... - We had an amazing tour guidedriver. Johnny was the best guide we have ever had. He was organized and very entertaining as he was safely driving us to the top beaches, sites, and attractions.
We even learned some Hawaiian words and life lessons for the teenagers on the tour.
Johnny played a trivia game to get everyone interacting and he had everyone’s name and home location on a list so he would use our names/states as he talked & drove. He had a menu that was passed around to get our food orders, then as the group was exploring at a stop, he called the food orders in ahead so our food was ready when we arrived. No waiting time in line!!! He also gave us tips for each stop to let us know where the restrooms were and location of favorite items to taste & see. Truly a gem. We will never forget our Circle Oahu tour with Johnny.

👍🏽 - We got to view the island’s spectacular views.
It was our 1st time here, so we needed to see the island. Our tour guide was very friendly and made a tour an excellent experience. I recommend this tour to anyone.

The indifferent driver - When we boarded the coach, only 2 separate seats were available. WE sat separately throughout the journey. The driver did not step in and request travellers to change their seats for us. My wife did ask her neighbor for help but she rejected. We manage to be kept alone. But I think the driver can do a better job. At least he should try to help.

Disappointing Oahu Circle Island Tour. Not Fun! - Very disorganized in terms of pick-up point, assignment of tourists to tour buses confusing, pick-up bus was late, dispatcher was rude, late, and confusing. Dispatcher said he would call us by names until people who were not being called had to approach him and were randomly assigned to tour buses that had vacant seats of not your preferred choice. I hate to be in the very back seat because it is very bumpy. Dispatcher had an attitude. Pick-up point identified in the Viator App is not the actual pick-up point. I had to text in the What’s Up and was given another pick-up point.
Tour driver was nice! Itinerary in the Viator App not actually followed.

No pickup, poor communication, and didn't get to go on the tour. - I would give it 0 stars if possible, since we didn't get to go on the trip. Even though we confirmed our pickup place a couple of days before the tour and arrived 20 minutes early, we were never picked up. It took almost an hour to get a response to our email, texts, and phone calls. We were then told they weren't sure if there were any extra seats (even though we'd reserved them weeks before!). When they finally got a response from one of the bus drivers, they were well on their way on the tour and too late for us to do unless we wanted to miss part of it. Since this is what we had planned for the whole day, we were now faced with additional expense and loss of time in trying to figure out what to do instead. This was VERY disappointing, since we had been looking forward to it.

Bad taste false and misleading tour itinerary. - After we paid for our ticket, the pick up point was changed from our hotel to a 15 minute walk away. Not ideal after knee surgery! Once on board the tour bus (7.30am) we were told that there would be nothing open due to it being Thanksgiving. So why was the tour even sold? The driver (tour guide) gave us the option of leaving and getting a refund or taking another tour. Another passenger also left the tour at this point. We were leaving the next day so applied for a refund - it was denied! They stated it was our fault for not knowing it was Thanksgiving and some venues would not be open. . We are Australian and don’t celebrate or know what is open or not and other foreigners also would not be aware! They breached their sale contract and now refuse to refund! Beware!
