Late pickup and disappointing tour.

Atleast 90 minutes late for pick up from cruise ship. Very little information provided during the various stops. Certainly didn’t last for the allotted time. All in all a disappointing introduction to the island not good value for the expensive price.

Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Troy was knowledgeable and shared facts and highlights along the way. The stops gave us a real feel for the island and what is here. The trip and its planning is well thought out and Troy made an effort to check in with all of the businesses we stopped at. We requested and were able to off of the beaten path and still Troy managed to keep us ahead of, or away from the larger groups travelling the same route. Private tour is the way to go! Highly recommend this tour!!!

Excellent Hawaii tour

Troy was a excellent guide. We only had 51/2 hours available for a 6 hour tour. We got everything seen and then some and never felt rushed. He was so friendly and personally. He took several pictures of us at the stops. Even dropped us off at the cruise ship. Highly recommend him for any of his tours. If we come back would only use him.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your review. I look forward to seeing you again the next time you come to Oahu! :)

Fabulous private tour with Troy!

Myself, my husband and 84 year old mother in law went on a private tour today with Troy. We had a stress free, relaxing adventure which was just what we were looking for. Troy was very friendly, engaging and informative, as well as flexible with our requests. He was very accommodating to any adjustments in the schedule we requested. He had some great recommendations for places to shop and where to have lunch. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and felt that it was money well spent to see more of the island. We highly recommend Troy for your private tour guide, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect Tour of Oahu. Perfect Guide

My husband and I wanted a tour that would individually take us to places that the locals visit and are often not included in the big bus tours. Troy did that and more. He was a great tour guide, driver, camera man, as well as very knowledgeable about the island, food, etc. We were able to capture incredible and beautiful photos. We had a very enjoyable day, despite the short occasional rain showers. We highly recommend him!!

Thank you for your kind words, Janice. It was a sincere pleasure to share my love for Oahu with you! Come back soon! :)

Amazing!

Personal tour is a way to go! Troy is an excellent guide and he totally made our wishes his priority. We were not interested in certain tourist attractions so we didn’t spend much time at those but instead visited other places. He was flexible and personable. We ended up visiting 15 places and if it wasn’t for the waves, we could have spent more time at the secluded beach (Troy’s recent discovery of this beach).

Thank you for your kind words, Michael. It was a sincere pleasure to share my love for Oahu with you! Come back soon! :)
