5.00Suzie, our tour guide was very warm and welcoming from the moment she introduced herself. She was a very safe driver and was able to tell us about the points of interest along the way. I appreciated her vast knowledge base about the volcanoe and she showed us her personal video of it erupting.
Enjoyable time with Suzie

5.00Susie was the most amazing tour guide. She was fun and full of historical information and all the fun folklore. She was very interactive with all of us tourists and really made the whole tour enjoyable. She even made sure to take the time to show us little extras along the way, making sure we were able to enjoy all of what Hawaii has to offer. Please ask for her specific. You will enjoy your time so much more. 💗 her, Jennifer
Outstanding Service

5.00Originally booked with Hawaiii Tours which went bust. Thankfully Go Tours Hawaii after taking over the business honoured our tour despite not having records of it. We can’t praise them highly enough in their endeavour to support my birthday treat.
Fun tour all around!

5.00We went on the Volcano Tour that left from Oahu! We had a great time! We had a wonderful experience going to see Rainbow Falls and the Steam Vents, and Suzie was an amazing driver and conversationalist! We loved hearing stories; we had an extremely fun time overall! We were lucky to have a small group that got along well together! There were some places to buy things but I never felt pressured to do so. The vibe was relaxed, which was great, and I got to see what I wanted with a better idea of how I could spend a longer trip!

5.00Suzie was my guide on what ended up being a private tour of Hilo, Kiluea, and all around the big island. She shared a lot of history and stories about the landmarks we saw and had such a joy and excitement about the island that was contagious. I'd definitely recommend her and the Hilo Big Island/Helicopter tour!
A great experience seeing so much of Hawaii

5.00Suzie was great, took us to a lot of places. Really enjoyed going to the Volcano Park. Was disappointed that the volcano wasn't erupting. But, not her fault.
Susie great guide
