Great Oahu tour

Melinda_L, Sep 2025
Great tour for newbies to Oahu. Thought it would be more of a food tour but where we stopped was great fun local foods!

Great Stops but Better Mic Needed

Nordia_M, Jul 2025
The tour hit some fantastic sights on the way to the North Shore from Waikiki. Our tour bus operator was really nice and seemed to be providing some very cool knowledge about the island as we drove by important sights. Unfortunately, almost no one on the bus could hear him. I want to say it was because he has a monotone voice that is very low, but the headset didn’t do him any justice either. Both of these factors, in addition to jet lag, made it pointless for commentary to be provided if we couldn’t hear 90% of it. We could have just sat in silence or with Hawaiian music playing. As a result, most of the shuttle bus passengers were talking or sleeping- regardless of whether they were Japanese or English. The And You tour company should invest in the driver microphone equipment because the sound quality was the worst we experienced of the six tours we did while in Honolulu. Another option would be to pre-record some of the commentary for the sights along the route and play it on the screen in the front of the bus. No one had any issue hearing any of the b-roll tour snippets that were played while in North Shore traffic. Commentary aside, the stops were great and the tour guide was a wealth of information when we spoke to him outside at the stops. The tour company was very friendly when we stopped at their offices at the start of the tour. So I’ve only removed one star for the ride commentary audio portion. I have to keep the review honest for anyone considering the tour. Book it for the stops, not for the travel commentary. Also, don’t book anything in the evening before 7:30pm. It will be a long day.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Aloha, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the scenic stops and found our tour guide informative during the breaks. It’s also great to know that our team was friendly and welcoming at the start of the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for the difficulties you experienced with the audio commentary during the bus ride. We understand how important clear communication is to fully enjoy the tour, and we regret that the microphone and headset issues prevented you and other guests from hearing the commentary properly. Your suggestion about upgrading the microphone system or using pre-recorded narration is greatly appreciated and will be shared with our operations team as we continually work to improve our guest experience. Thank you again for your honest review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future with an even better experience.

Misleading description

Cynthia_K, Jul 2025
This tour should have been described as Scenic Stops & SHOPPING. The LOCAL FOODS were a minor part of the tour, compared to the Shopping component; we stopped at THREE souvenir shops before noon. Some of the local foods (Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, cookies, and shave ice) were available ONLY at souvenir shops or at our own expense. This was NOT a food tour. Small samples were offered, but only as a component of the souvenir shops. The scenic stops were worthwhile, and our guide, Jason, gave nice commentary as we circled Oahu. The included malasada and plate lunch were delicious, but it’s very misleading to mention “local foods” in the title of this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the scenic stops and that Jason’s commentary added value to your experience. We're also happy that you found the included malasada and plate lunch delicious. However, we're truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations in terms of the local food experience. Our intention is to give guests a well-rounded taste of Oahu, which includes scenic sights, cultural elements, and local flavors. We understand your concern that the tour felt more focused on shopping stops, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with our operations and product development teams as we continue to review and refine our itineraries. We truly value your insight, and it helps us work towards creating a better experience for all our guests. If you’d like to share more about your experience, please feel free to reach out to us at info@andyoucreations.com. Mahalo again for joining us.

Disappointed

Paula_B, Jun 2025
The bus was not really air conditioned as advertised. It was difficult to hear the driver speaking. even after he asked could we hear him, we told him, no adjustments were made.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Aloha Paula, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Comfort and clear communication are essential parts of what we strive to provide, and we regret that we fell short during your visit. Unfortunately, it appears there was an abnormal circumstance that day where the air conditioning was not functioning as it normally does. These are not typical issues on our tours, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused. We've shared your feedback with our operations team and brought it to the attention of management. We're currently reviewing our vehicle and equipment to help prevent similar issues in the future. Your feedback is valuable in helping us improve, and we truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much better experience. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out to us at info@andyoucreations.com. Mahalo

This tour will expose you to other areas of the island that you will not experience in Honolulu or Waikiki Beach. Our tour guide ways knowledgeable and was from this area. I would do this again.

Joanne_L, May 2025
Food tour and scenic stops were great. However, half of the narrative was in Japanese so we could not understand what was being said. You could also not hear well from the back of the bus. Even the English was mumbled.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food tour and scenic stops. We appreciate your comments regarding the narration and audio — we will share this with our team to help improve the experience for all guests. Thank you again for joining us.

Book this foodie tour highly recommended!

Jamie_M, Jul 2024
I took my 2 kids on this tour on Monday ages 3 and 9 and they loved it! My son said he learned so much about the island and we all loved eating our way through Oahu. Thankfully Jackson was our guide, he was hilarious and gave us all his insider tips about the island. He was so welcoming and chill which created relaxed vibes for our small group of 13. The timing of everything was perfect and we enjoyed the well air conditioned mini bus as we were able to take in the beauty of our surroundings. As first timers to Oahu we especially enjoyed eating the Malasadas while watching the blowhole, Tanaka’s shrimp lunch was delicious, fried banana turon, and shave ice. We got to see sea turtles ,Barack Obama’s house and learn about all the different towns. It was nice to get a lot done in one day and skipping the busy lines at these places. Special thanks to Jackson for volunteering to take our family photos, being incredibly warm and fun to hang with all day! I’m so glad this is the tour we chose to go on! I highly recommend it!

Excellent Tour

Stacey_C, May 2024
Jackson was our guide for the day. He was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He made the tour so fun with his personable interactions and jokes. He did a great job engaging us and making sure we were having a great time! And the food was great too! If you’re booking this tour, ask for Jackson to be your guide!

Great tour for a look around the island

David_H, Mar 2024
Great tour for a look around the island, a bit rushed but covers a lot ground. Plenty of food samples an OK lunch and shopping opportunities. The young tour operator / driver ‘D’ done a great job. A top day. My negative feedback ? 1. The small bus is ok but by no means luxury. 2. Get the operators a Bluetooth headset / mic so they can keep 2 hands on the wheel

Greatest Experience

Leila_O, Feb 2024
If I could give this tour a 10 star I would. Let me first say we've been on 3 tours since we've been here. And this 5 star tour around Oahu was the best!! Our tour guide Jackson was the best. Very informative and friendly and caring. All in one package!! He was an amazing tour guide! I truly recommend this tour! We learned a lot in 9 hours haha if you haven't already, BOOK THIS TOUR!! You will not be disappointed:) And if you are reading this Jackson, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! We will never forget you!!

Recommend this tour

Desiree_O, Feb 2024
We booked this tour for Tuesday 2/13/24. Pick up at 8am and dropped off around 4:50pm with a total of 17 people. Kanako, our tour guide was very welcoming to everyone and informative. Mahea, the driver was also informative and funny. Oh and when Kanako says don’t stop at Starbucks because they’re slow service please Listen because she’s right! I recommend you have something to eat before you leave in the morning because lunch isn’t until around 1:30. Also bring some cash with you if you want to buy fresh fruit, most of the fruit stands were cash only.

Fun day around the island

Kevin_H, Jan 2024
Tour guide was very knowledgeable, It was great that he is a local that’s from Hawaii and know all the local areas.

Leslie_F, Dec 2023
Excellent guide, Koa, and fine driver, Ross. We learned a lot from Koa's stories about Oahu/Hawaii. The food offerings were okay, not great.

Great way to spend a day around the island

Kaleena_T, Dec 2023
Junny was a great bilingual guide. Despite the rainy and gloomy weather that day, he made the tour enjoyable. Because it was a small group and we were ahead of schedule, we were able to visit the Dole Plantation. My recommendation would be to allow the group to spend more time at Dole Plantation and less time at one of the town centers in the North Shore. Overall, great tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Aloha, Thank you so much for joining our tour. We are glad that you enjoyed your time with us and greatly appreciate your kind feedback. We are looking forward to your next trip! Mahalo!
