Best tour I've ever been on! Beautiful Hawaii Oahu

To start out the day I admit I was a little disappointed that the PCC was closed today. I thought we would just be doing a short tour. Our guide said we would be back at 6:00pm we were going around the Island. Our tour guide was Summer! She was one Fantastic guide! She went above and beyond in everything she did from the pick up to drop off! Summer was 100% the best guide ever. She gave us an amazing history of the island I learned so much! She took pictures of us. Took us to all the places that you wouldn't know to go unless you were a local! She brought us drinks, gave us a way to contact her, bought us calendars and postcards and flags, she even bought us each a malasala which was the best donut I'd ever had! 100 times over I would reccomend this tour but make sure you ask for Summer if you want to find out so much history about Hawaii Oahu and you want to feel like you are part of her family!
