10/10 Experience and I'm not even glazing cause I Love Derk 😂🔥it was quite confusing finding the tour bus at first cause we didnt know they call out names since many tour bus' come through the same meet-up point, but other than that, It was quite literally "The Ultimate Tour" Derk's the best tour guide here, he went above and beyond with the History lessons of the venues we've visited and stopped by, almost felt like that one kids show " The Magic School Bus" 😂 Id highly recommend This Tour to anyone looking for an affordable and lively experience 🙏🏽 If you guys get Derk you wont regret ❤️

Today's tour with the guide was really comfortable and informative! Thanks to the local information about Honolulu and recommendations for good restaurants, my trip was enriched 😊 The photos were taken with great sense, so I have beautiful memories 📸 In particular, the Dole Pineapple Farm was an unforgettable and enjoyable time! It was so much fun shopping for pineapple-related souvenirs at the store, eating sweet pineapple ice cream, and taking a cute train around the farm 🍍🚂 Above all, even though it was our first time meeting, he made me feel comfortable, so it felt like I was spending a day with a friend who lives in Hawaii :) I really recommend it to those who want to enjoy Hawaii comfortably and fulfillingly!👍🏻

Luckily, a Hawaiian resident who was born and lived in Hawaii for a long time was our guide and driver. On the day I traveled, there were only three passengers including me, and he guided us comfortably as if we were on a family trip. He also explained the stories related to the places included in the itinerary and the Hawaii he saw growing up. We were even able to see a luxury women's prison. The northern coast was so beautiful that I wanted to stay there next time, even though I only saw Waikiki. This is a great value for money travel itinerary. I recommend it!

The tour schedule was perfect. The timing was right on time, and most of all, I really wanted to see turtles, so I saw them up close and took a lot of pictures. The only regret is my poor English? Haha. Other than that, everything was perfect, so I give your schedule five stars without holding back :) Thank you so much!!!
