Our tour guide, Johnny was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We certainly covered lots of stops. One thing that I was disappointed in, is that I assumed the Diamond Head memorial was located at the top of Diamond Head. It was not - it was located off the main road at the bottom. I should have done more research in advance. We are off to Diamond Head another day.
There a lot of gift store stops.
Overall a nice experience.

Turtles and pineapples...NOT
I have mixed feelings about this tour. Our guide Johnny was awesome. He made the trip fun and informative. His sense of humor was witty and I cannot say enough about him. The tour was...ok. We stopped many places to get the feel of the area. All Star Circle Tours neglected to tell us to bring lots of cash. Almost every place we stopped took cash only. Some took charge cards though. We stopped for donuts, fruit, macadamia nuts, lunch, and pineapple whip. Although it was supporting the local economy, I felt we stopped at too many places to eat and not enough historical sites. A little bonus attraction was a tour of movie stars homes. The only problem is we blasted past them too quickly and could not take pictures. The blow hole was terrific. One of five blow holes in the world it offered great entertainment. Swimming with turtles was a huge disappointment. We were dropped off on the opposite end of the beach and had a long walk to the changing facility. From there, the beach was located around barriers and into rock filled murky waters. Although the water churned up a lot of the sediment, and one cannot control weather, we saw no turtles and no one was able to swim. We were only given an hour and most of this time was spent changing and trying to navigate around gates, chains, and through bug-filled trees. I was able to wade in the water for 5 minutes and had to return to change and get back to the pickup point. Those who did not wish to see the turtles went on another shopping spree. Seriously how much shopping can one do in a day while on a tour? The Dole pineapple plantation was disappointing. I thought there was going to be a tour of the pineapple industry such as how the pineapples are grown, how much are harvested yearly, etc. We had a whole 20 minutes for this activity which was spent winding through the obligatory gift shop to the very back of the store to purchase overpriced pineapple whip. To purchase pineapple for take home are more than $20 for a package of two. Now that's pricey. I think the tour around the island was good and worth price but the afforementioned attractions leave something to be desired.

Fun whole of Oahu tour
A fun day with lots of sights and stops and a witty driver with plenty of local knowledge. The lunch place was decided for us, which we didn’t know about and limited our choices.

No Break from Chatter
The tour could have been fine, were it not for the deiver who would not shut up at any point. We were with this man for 10 hours and he did not stop talking the entire day. EVERYONE on the tour, aside from the few seniors sitting up front by him, were furious and we all got off the bus angry and complaining at the end of the tour. At one point one of the passengers had to ask him to give us some silent time and he refused. We would arrive at stops and he would keep us on the bus, with the door closed, foe 3-4 minutes while finishing his comments UNRELATED to the stop, and then he'd shave those minutes off our time available to visit the stop! Passengers missed out on important details about the island and poijts of interest because of the driver's nonstop stream of consciousness into the mic ALL DAY about facts and thoughts and personal information about himself and his friends and family and life that were wholly irrelevant to the tour. I want to demand my money back but instead I'll juat speak with my wallet and NEVER book through this company again.

Very Disappointing
First impression was very poor. The supervisor on site was VERY belligerent and rude. The driver/guide was good but not better than good. He kept up an amiable chatter but should have conveyed more information. The real problem was the small number of scenic stops. They were also very brief and did not allow for much exploration of the sites. The biggest problem was the second half of the trip which was almost all stops at gift shops. Although it was listed as an attraction to be visited, we only road past turtle beach quickly and had very limited views of it. The beach stop was eliminated supposedly due to the brownness of the water (although there were many people on the beach). All of this would have been known to the tour company but they still advertised these attractions. We did not get what we paid for.

Johnny made the tour standout
This tour was perfect for us. Just some places we wanted to go and other places not so much. Originally we were gonna do the dole tour and couple other places and when we saw the stops we knew this was perfect for us and the price made so much sense. The standout of the tour was our driver and tour guide. For the entire tour he kept everyone entertained and made us all welcome and participate in all parts of the tour. Johnny knew a lot about lot’s of things and challenged everyone including a very fun game earning points…everyone participated…not easy to do for 8 plus hours but Johnny made the tour fun.
Thank you Johnny from Wil and Jace from SF

Disappointing tour.
The tour itself was disappointing and not worth the money, but the biggest issue was the tour guide's attitude. Throughout the experience, he came across as condescending and dismissive, making me feel like my questions and concerns weren't valued. Instead of creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, his behavior made the tour uncomfortable and frustrating.

Awesome Tour
My children had an amazing time learning about the island's most visited places. The stopping points were great for photos and memories. Would definitely recommend. Our tour guy Jhonny Cage was very knowledgeable and made the trip well worth it.
