We have done many tours throughout the years, different countries, this would be the best one we have ever done. The scenery spectacular, all the different foods didn’t disappoint. We have to give a big shout out to Jason and Mei ( driver and commentator) They both looked out for everyone, taking photos, ordering our food etc. Nothing was a problem for them, very happy to assist when needed. I would highly recommend this tour. We had a fabulous day. Thanks Jason and Mei for your hospitality.

I had my friends come in town and I took them own this tour . We totally 💯 enjoyed our tour and the places we have seen around the Island. Through out our tour ,we made a few stop to try few samples and then our stop for lunch at Tanaka Shrimp on North Shore was great. Our driver jason and Mai(Japanese speaking translator) were excellent with full of information which made our tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended this tour beside the company as they have other tours . Mahalo to Jason and Mai for a great beautiful day ! Keep up the great job.

Just finished up the “Island And You” tour around Oahu with our tour guide, Bart. This was the first thing that both, my mother, and I have experienced in Hawaii (we’re first timers - as of writing this), and It was a truly magnificent experience and could not have asked for a better day or tour guide. Would highly recommend and would absolutely do this or any of their other tours again!

The tour was so comprehensive, and amazing. Our tour guide, Cheryl (not to be confused with "Karen"), was so fabulous. Besides being so very knowledgeable, caring, and funny, she brought us all together as a "family" for 8 hours! Towards end of the excursion though, could have used less gushing for all she was doing for us, and just let it be. We knew! I would definitely take another tour by this company and with Cheryl .

The tour was absolutely 💯 wonderful! Very relaxing 😌 and well worth the money 💰. If you want to know the Hawaiian culture and history, Jason and Junko is your tour guides! My husband and I really enjoyed all the stops and being able to experience the Hawaiian culture through sampling different foods, coffee and sugary snacks. We would highly recommend! Not to mention Jason and Junko from ANDYOUCREATIONS (AYC) was amazing! We loved that Junko translated what Jason said in her language (Japanese). So no guest was left behind. Jason and Junko thank you for the awesome tour, the great experience, for your kindness and attentive to the guests. You made our tour memorable and definitely worth giving you guys 5 stars!

Absolutely amazing!! I had so much fun on this trip. We drove around to so many spots. We got a couple quick views of some beaches, the macadamia nut tastery, blowhole Lookout, drive past some landmarks, see a few turtles, have some lunch, visit a fruit stand, plus a shaved ice place (an absolute steal!) as the cherry on top. I learned a ton about the island and culture the first day I was out. I would absolutely go again. ❤️
