Wish I could give this tour 10 stars…Michael was wonderful!! This was not our first time to Hawaii and although we had hiked Diamond Head before we wanted to see if we could still do it. We figured instead of walking there we would combine it with a tour and are glad we did. Michael was very informative pointing out places of interest we had seen before and many we had not. He gave us the history of everything but not to the point where we lost interest. He took the time to get pictures of us at each stop on his phone and then at the end of the tour airdropped them to us….considering we are still dealing with Covid I thought this was genius! After Michael dropped us back at our hotel he texted us an extremely long detailed list of restaurants and highlights to see and do for the rest of our vacation…so thoughtful and very appreciated! If you are considering this tour I recommend you do it early in your vacation so you have time to check out Michaels recommendations. Mahalo! 🤙🌺🌴Yoshiko_F

Aloha! It turned out to be a very memorable, very 'Hawaiian' tour for us. This was our first time to visit Hawaii, we just arrived Honolulu the day before. We had booked this tour so I thought we could get an overview on Honolulu and visit the Diamond Head. There were just two of us that day on this tour, so we were lucky that the tour was exclusively given for us! The tour guide Lisa came on a little golf cart-like open vehicle with the Hawaiian decoration around the roof. What a fun way to go around! This is a slow vehicle, Lisa had a vast knowledge on the city, landmarks, beaches and so on and she kept talking and explaining the historical background, then she answered all our questions we had. And she took photos for us at many places. I highly recommend to book this tour. Mahalo (thank you)!Grace_C
