Oahu Grand Circle Island and Haleiwa Tour: 9-Hr Deluxe Experience - Diamond Head and the Honolulu coast from the bus

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17,387 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $140Our pick

Circle Oahu in nine hours with Diamond Head, Byodo-In Temple, Haleiwa, North Shore beaches, Dole Plantation, and hotel pickup.

“The bus arrived at the exact moment it was scheduled to arrive. Our guide and driver Tony did an amazing job! Not only did he point out stops along the way but his breath of knowledge of place and history was immense. The only criticism is that the Dole plantation was a disappointment. Not the fault of the tour but it was just a giant store.”

Chicago River 90-Minute Architecture Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9,629 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $45

See Chicago’s greatest buildings from the river on a 90-minute Wendella cruise with expert narration, indoor seating, and practical tips.

“With temperatures at 10° and a windchill of -15 they had about twice as many people on the boat as they had indoor seats. So your options were sit outside in the cold and get frostbitten, or stand and only be able to see the river banks because most of the windows are where people are sitting, and you can’t get to them if you’re standing. They should have enough indoor seats for everyone who booked. Very disappointed.”
