What do you do when you want your mom, aunts, and uncles to have a good and safe time on vacation in Hawaii? Right: you check Yelp and find the best stuff for them. I found AM Tours Hawaii and decided to entrust these guys with transporting eight of my loved ones to and from the airport. I also booked them to take my family around the island for a day where they visited the Dole plantation, Hale'iwa town,  lanieaka beach (to see the turtles and Chinaman's hat), Pali lookout, and returned to Waikiki. On another day, they transported my family to the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Paradise Cove Luau. I am so glad I booked with them. My family was constantly texting me pictures, telling me what a great time they were having, and thanking me (though, really, it was all Steve and Wei-wei who did a wonderful job helping me plan and making it super easy to arrange a fun time for my relatives). I've never had such a smooth experience booking vacation events. Thank you, Steve and Wei-wei for giving my family a fantastic experience! Shout-out to Tom, their driver, who, according to my mom, was very nice and funny. My mom is already talking about revisiting and I'm certain it's because of how this company treated them.  Mahalo, Steve and Wei-wei! read more

This review is for Dirk the Driver! He's from the island of Indiana and he was EXCELLENT! For our trip we had a road closure due to rocks falling on the road at Waimea that caused us to turn around and go around - he was careful, fun and gave us a tour of the waterfalls, Jurassic park area, where Elvis lived and most of all he was accommodating to our bus of wedding goers and he was very careful with the flooded roads and terrible road conditions! Dirk - on behalf of the entire Bus load - thank you for being careful driving in those conditions and making it fun for all of us! Mahalo Matt read more

Absolutely do not trust this company -especially for something as important as a wedding. We contacted AM Tours in January to book two shuttles for our April wedding, and received confirmation, including an invoice from Steve. We were told we were "penciled in," and at no point did they say our booking was tentative or at risk. Fast forward to March, and my wedding planner reaches out to reconfirm. Their response? "Unfortunately, that day is currently booked." No warning. No courtesy call. No heads-up that they were considering giving our spot away. We were left scrambling to find transportation for two shuttles for our guests with barely a month to go before the wedding. I don't know whether they forgot about our booking, double-booked, prioritized someone else, or if it was just very poor organization and communication - but whatever the reason, it was incredibly disappointing and stressful. If you're planning an event then do not risk it with AM Tours. We were lucky to find a last-minute replacement, but the anxiety they caused was completely avoidable. I would never recommend them to anyone. read more

So I've been sitting on this review for almost a year. I contacted AMT in September 2022, 2 months prior to my wedding on 11/11/22 because we needed limo service from Ala Moana Hotel to Honolulu Country Club. After some back and forth we finally figured out the details (which limo on the way to venue,which bus to bring us back to the hotel, pick up times, total cost). Steve was responsive and professional. 1 week prior to our wedding he contacted me to confirm the pick up times and limo type....and the pick up time was WRONG. Not only was the pick up time wrong, but now the 12 pax limo I reserved was no longer available. I mean, thank god he contacted me a week in advance, right? Well, they didn't have any limos available to accommodate more than 8. So, now we go back and forth again, looking through our email communication trying to find where the mix up was. We found where the miscommunication was and it happened to be that Steve entered the wrong time. He was very apologetic and tried his best to contact other limo companies and find me a limo that met my requirements. After 3 days of trying to accommodate my original limo reservation, unfortunately, we had to settle for an 8pax limo. I was really stressed out about the situation. I mean, a week before the wedding I find out we don't have the 12 pax limo we reserved and then 4 days before the wedding I find out we only have an 8 pax limo. It was a really stressful week. Now, I don't have anything bad to say about Steve or the company. He always remained professional and responsive during our communication. Even though he got the time wrong, he didn't make up any excuses and took accountability for his mistake. He was apologetic and tried his very best to accommodate our transportation. Even with the mistake, I appreciate the accountability. I also have no complaints with his customer service. He honored us a discount, which I felt was a reasonable amount. As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping my customers happy and providing the best service possible. Even if we make a mistake, we will try our best to make it up to our customers. Happy customers, good reviews, and referrals is what keeps us in business. Yeah, I panicked and stressed out for a few days. In the end, my wedding was beautiful and we were safely transported before and after the wedding. read more

Why is this company parking their vehicles in front of my house and blocking my driveway? This is a residential neighborhood and I am pretty sure that no commercial activity is allowed especially while blocking a resident's driveway and dropping off a bus load of tourist. This company obviously does not care about the rules and just cares about making money off of tourist. read more

We used AM Tours for our wedding last weekend and they were amazing. They even sent three small buses instead of two big ones to help us with flexibility. They were also very communicative when we were in the planning stage. Highly recommend them for any wedding or event on Oahu! read more

We had a wedding in Hawaii and needed transportation for the day of the wedding... from the hotel to the wedding site for the guests and then for the wedding party. Very good communication, Quickly responds to email. Punctual. Limo was clean. Per the guests, the buses were clean and the driver was really nice. We went over a little on time, but they were really cool and didn't over charge us. We also had friends who wanted to do a round island tour and they took about 20 guests around the island.. They are very knowledgeable and can help you out with the itinerary as well. Rates are very reasonable. Tip: if you are a foodie, steve (owner) and his wife are foodies and know all the good places to eat on Oahu. :) read more

We used their service for our wedding photo shoot. Booking was very easy. Steve and Wei Wei replied fast to all my emails and answered all my questions. They also helped us to choose the best locations to take pictures. They picked us up exactly on time. The driver was very nice and did above and beyond to be as helpful as possible. We had to make some last minute changes and switch locations, he was kind and made sure we were very happy with everything. All and all we were very happy with AM Tours. We'll definitely use them again when we need transportation services in Oahu. The lemo we had was new and well maintained and from the impression I have I bet all their other vehicles are the same. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs transportation services in the Honolulu. read more

I recently returned from a mini-vacation in Waikiki. It was an impromptu trip taking advantage of cost-effective airfare from San Jose. Since I knew it would be a quick 3-day turnaround, I knew I didn't need a rental car since hotel parking will break any sort of savings a group of 6 could achieve. I'm usually hesitant to use under-reviewed businesses on Yelp, but figured why not try it out since they offered 20% off if you mentioned this ad and the pictures of the vehicles looked very clean. Since there were 6 of us, it made perfect sense to split a shuttle. A large SUV with parking fees, to kick it in DT Waikiki, made little sense. We got picked up in their Sprinter which was super clean and air conditioned. Plus star for living up to your pictures! The driver was also very kind to take us to convenient store for us to pick up some bare essentials and booze! The driver explained they can also do charters for tours around the island. I will definitely give them a look when I return later this Fall with my relatives. I thought the convenience coupled with the quality of vehicle was worth the $$. read more

I had some family come in from the mainland for a wedding in Waikiki. Many of them had never been to Hawaii and wanted to see the North Shore, swim with turtles and basically do things not located in Waikiki. But of course there was no volunteers to drive everyone to the north shore and many of my family members should not be allowed to rent cars and drive in an unfamiliar location. I looked into renting a van and driving it myself but wasn't confident I'd be able to park a huge van. AM tours was the perfect solution. The van we rented for the day came with a friendly driver, picked up the fam in Waikiki (waited for the ones that were running late) and drove us all out to the north shore in traffic! He stopped wherever we wanted to take pics and took the pics so we could all be in them! He even did a last minute stop at Pali lookout when we asked. Got lunch at Giovanni's. We could even stop at tamuras for poke and a few beers because no one had to be designated driver. Stopped at the north shore beaches. So glad I wasn't the one trying to park and keep track of everyone out there. And we could all nap on the way back to town after a long day. I would definitely book with AM tours the next time I have family coming in. It's basically your own private tour of the island in a clean, air conditioned van at a super reasonable price when you split it up among the adults. And no one gets stuck driving. read more

My grandson and I almost got hit by an AM Tour Bus in Magic Island parking lot at 9:30 am on June 5, 2017. Train your drivers. The van headed straight toward the curb, turned and the front tire went up on the curb. The bus was heading right at us. We could have been killed. We were walking on the sidewalk in the parking lot on the Waikiki side of Magic Island Train that driver. read more

If I could give these guys 10 stars I would! Our driver was friendly, helpful, and very kind! He also saved us from a fiasco we had with another limo company - XS Limousine's driver left us at the church!!! Our bigger limo was reserved for our wedding party, but plans changed when that happened. Our driver took care of us and made sure we felt the Aloha spirit. He helped with our bags and made sure we were good to go after he dropped us off at our reception venue. Highly professional & off the charts service! Recommend AM Tours Hawaii for all transportation!!! You will definitely get your bucks worth & you won't regret it! :-) read more

Anyone who has been to Honolulu/Waikiki knows what a nightmare it is trying to navigate around the city without driving around in circles. The other half of this nightmare is trying to find parking anywhere near where you are trying to go and to get it for a reasonable price. Parking your rental overnight at a hotel will set you back at least $35 a day. Renting a car just isn't economical anymore when traveling to Oahu. I found AM Tours Hawaii through a friend of mine and I've never rented a car or used a taxi service since. It literally is a service, not just a ride. I've never had to stand around waiting for them like an Uber or Taxicab company. I've never had to ask them to turn off the gangster rap, clean their car or stop eating their taco like with Uber or Lyft. They are professionals from the moment you pick up the phone and call them. I can always count on a knowledgeable, friendly and unobtrusive driver, clean car, air conditioning, cold bottled water and enjoyable experience. AM Tours is a family owned business and you can see the passion every employee has for this company. read more

We came into hawaii to take some time away from work and to reconnect with nature. We didn't rent a car from the airport as we were staying in Waikiki. We figured we would plan a specific day away from Waikiki, where we would need drive. One of those days we planned was an outdoor hike excursion suggested by Steve himself. We had a group of 4 adults, and we chartered a vehicle for about 8 hours. They picked us up at our hotels really early and drove us to the hike trailhead. We were able to do Kokohead in about 2 hours, and we were able to call the driver to pick us up. From there, they took us to breakfast/brunch in Waikiki. From there our next stop was Waimanalo Beach. We had packed the chairs and umbrellas earlier that morning as we knew it was a outdoor day. We got to the beach and we were able to hang out for about 90 minutes. We next went into Kailua to grab lunch and then back to Waikiki. The driver allowed us to stop at 7/11 to pick up some snacks and also at Foodland for some Poke! We would definitely recommend them for any type of custom tours! read more

We used them for my brother in laws wedding this past weekend and they were FANTASTIC! The bus was clean, the drivers were friendly and they were on time. The wedding rolled up to the venue in style, especially compared to the Kualoa Ranch buses that were transporting tourists around the park. There was great communication from the beginning. They are quick to respond and soo very friendly and helpful. They work with you! I highly recommend using AMT for any of your transportation needs. We will definitely use them for other events. MAHALO Steve and Wei Wei! read more

Hubbie and I were on our honey/baby moon in Waikiki and decided two days before we left that we needed to explore more than Waikiki, and see if we could have a tour of the island. We wanted to relax so did not rent a vehicle. Steve/Wei were pretty darn tootin' quick and thorough, and worked with me for a private, private tour of Oahu. We got a spacious van so that I would have an easier time getting in and out at 5 months pregnant. I ended up taking a couple of quick naps during the rides too. Communication 5 Cleanliness of vehicle 5 Ease of payment via online 5 Follow-through 5 Friendliness/Personable (both Steve and the driver Tom) 5 Speed 5 We had a five hour tour that included: *Pick up *Brief self tour of Pearl Harbor that's open to the public. *Dole Plantation - get fresh cut pineapples and the ice cream *Driveby: Haleiwa Town, Turtle Beach aka Laniakea Beach, and another pretty beach. We saw turtles!!! *Giovanni's Shrimp (garlic shrimp and hot dog) - hot sauce on the side *Driveby: PCC, Kualoa Ranch, China Man's Hat *Nuuanu Pali lookout *Drop off Our next trip to Hawaii will definitely involve us reaching back out to them again - probably with a bigger group too. Thank you so much for making our short trip to Hawaii a very memorable one! read more

AM Tours was amazing! I researched all the transportation companies on Oahu for my daughter's wedding this past May, and I am confident that we chose the right company. Steve gave us a great price and was so understanding of our situation with it being a destination wedding and not being sure of how many guests we would be transporting. He made sure we had exactly what we needed and his drivers took great care of us and our guests. read more

Normally, I don't do many reviews but I was so impressed with AM Tours I felt they deserved a shout out! My cousin was in town for her wedding (originally from Hawaii, but living in OR). She needed limo services to do her bridal photos and was referred by a old high school friend to AM. They picked her and the wedding party up in a brand new Lincoln MKT limo which took them all over town to do their photos. It was nice and clean which was great so she didn't get her beautiful dress dirty, and the driver was so friendly and accommodating. Even though some locations didn't go according to plan, the diver was more than willing to adjust to their needs. She was also impressed with the driver's knowledge and suggestions on where to get some good photos around town. For the great price $85/hr I believe, it was well worth getting their services. Not having to worry about driving, navigating, parking, etc was such a relief for her and having the whole group together was great! Needless to say, she did not hesitate to hire AM Tours again for her wedding ceremony! Thank you AM Tours for your great service and making my cousin's wedding experience special and more importantly stress free! read more

I came here for a bachy with 9 girls, transportation can by pricey but Steve gave us an excellent price for limo transfer to hotel and airport. I booked 2 days before we arrived and Steve was excellent at responding quickly to get us booked and provided great details for when we landed. Once we landed, I called the limo driver (Owen) and we met him at the transportation area. Owen was professional and nice guy. The limo service for 9 girls on a bachy getaway weekend was great to get the party started! I highly recommend AM Tours for travel services, they are very knowledgeable and will help accommodate your travel needs with great pricing! read more

We had a huge bachelor party in Hawaii and I was in charge of organizing the Golf Day. We were staying in Waikiki and we needed to move 12 of us along from Waikiki to Hawaii Prince Golf Course (Ewa Beach). And, over half of us had our golf bags. Originally we wanted to just drive separately, but no one wanted to be the designated driver. Everyone was going to have some drinks (It is a bachelor party afterall!). I literally called a day before the event and was able to get a 24 seat mini bus charter for us. Owen (our driver) picked us up promptly at 7am and got us to the course in time for us to warm up for our tee time. I originally had set a 5pm pick up but I called half way through knowing we needed to be picked up early. They were able to accommodate with no issues. On the way back, Owen stopped off at a Don Quixote for us so we could grab some more beers. We were 15 minutes over our time, and they did mention they would charge for time over the charter. But since it was only 15 minutes, my driver said it was cool! Thanks Owen! We used their Yelp deal so it was a great price compared to the other places I called. Had I known of AM Tours prior to the trip, we wouldn't have rented cars and would have just used them exclusively. They also give tours of the island as well but we didn't get a chance to do that this trip. Definitely will use them next time I am back on Oahu! read more

Great service, cool rides and handsome owner/manager (Steve Chu).

Really a pleasure to work with AM Tours - they have very competitive pricing, are flexible/easy to work with and it is clear that customer service is important to them. I used AM Tours for a professional group to charter them around for meetings. The group loved their driver Tom, who provided them with a lot of insight into Hawaii and was happy to answer their questions. Driving service was great, vehicle was clean and comfortable and it was very easy for me to communicate with the office, even with last minute changes to their schedule. Look forward to using AM Tours for future groups! read more

The customer service provided by Steve was above and beyond. Even though we had a change of plans and ended up not using the shuttle service I would recommend Steve and AM Tours Hawaii just based on the customer service he gave me and how easy and straight forward is was to work with him. read more

Be wary of leaving anything on this companies bus! While wearing a pair of boardshorts with very shallow pockets, my phone was left behind on the bus. Thanks to iCloud, I was able to track it the second I got off the bus and followed it to its home base while at the same time attempting to contact the owner to inform him to reach out to the driver to let him know that a phone was left behind. The owner of the companies cell phone remained off for the following 4 days. He decided to take a little trip of his own to another island and didn't think to leave any alternative contact information to get in contact with someone that could help. So for the next 2 days, I had the pleasure of following my phone around until it was sent to the lovely country of China. The owner finally contacted me 4 days later once the phone was already in another country and said there's nothing that can be done. He refused to take responsibility for the phone not being returned and the driver claims he checked the bus once it was back at the lot and he found nothing (even though it was ringing all night as I frantically attempted to call it over and over while I tracked to. Point of the story, I'm out a new iPhone and some lucky guy in China has a new phone due to dishonesty and an immoral business. I would recomend using one of the other lovely bus companies that will be honest and return anything found on board after giving a ride. If you do choose to go with this company be sure to keep all your belongings in check and ensure that nothing at all gets left behind. read more

Steve was so helpful in getting the kids to the prom. He worked with me to get a great deal. Tom arrived on time and was very belpful.

Steve was so amazing. I am thankful for his accommodating, professional and kind. Other companies fell short. AMT Hawaii stood tall. Mahalo read more

Heartily recommend! Needing charter transportation for 20 folks for our wedding rehearsal dinner, I was so pleased to connect with Steve at AM Tours Hawaii! They were incredible - very speedy with a price quote, followed up to see if there was anything else I needed to make a decision. Communicative as we designed the itinerary - and even made an advance recon visit to one pickup location to confirm the best spot to meet the van - AND sent pictures to ensure we were all on the same page! Our driver Kapena was punctual, friendly, and professional. Thank you to Steve, Wei-Wei, and Kapena for your help in making our event seamless and worry-free! read more

Steve and Wei Wei at AM Tours were so helpful and great to work with! I coordinating transportation with them for our destination wedding (from the mainland) and they were really responsive and flexible throughout the whole process.

During the Labor Day weekend I was part of a wedding party that used the AM Tours bus services to transport us to the wedding venue. The bus service did an outstanding job, and I had a great time. The bus driver was very friendly, and he had a welcoming manner. Due to an open bar wedding I ended up forgetting my phone on my seat of the bus, and by the time I realized the bus was already gone with the night ending. I wanted to get in touch with the company on Sunday but they were closed. Monday they were closed as well due to the holiday and I flew back home this day to my home in Las Vegas. I was upset I left behind my phone, but it was a learning lesson that I had to face. Steve Chu which I believe has managerial role with this company contacted me that my phone was found on one of the buses, and immediately shipped it to Las Vegas. I received it in 2 days, and it felt like a dream. It was a mistake on my part to have left it behind, but to have back in my possession felt unreal. I grew up in the Bay Area, CA and if you lost something you would never get it back, it would of been stolen or sold for profit. This company is well trusted, honest, and all around a great company. From the hospitalty of the bus driver, to the efforts of management. The bus service exceeded my expectations, and the company went above and beyond. Thank you for getting us to our destinations safely, thank you for getting my phone back into my hands, and thank you for making my vacation one that I will never forget. You have my endless respect and you have my referrals for your service when the time comes. Thank you for everything! read more

AM Tours was one of the best parts of our recent wedding weekend in Hawaii! Steve was so helpful with everything, even when we kept changing plans and needing extra information from him. We had started out with needing transportation to and from a beach which was all set up until we needed to make it a bus tour instead. He was so helpful with suggestions for stops, and really honored the prices he gave us. He even gave a discount on guides even though it was supposed to cost more because he wanted to make our experience just right. The buses were right on time for pick-up. The bus tour we did was just perfect and the guides were able to personalize their info even though we had chosen all of the locations. We are so unbelievably happy that we went with AM Tours! read more

This was the best limo service ever. Prompt easy pick-up and Owen was a super accommodating and a very nice driver. The ride was smooth and limo was great, spacious, and clean. It has been a great start to our friend's Hawaii bachelorette! read more

AMT is awesome -- professional drivers, comfortable buses, & best price in town. I especially appreciated the excellent communication.

I was recently in Honolulu with a party of 16 and we decided to do a 2 day guided tour. AM Tours was absoultely the perfect choice! We began planning our tour a couple of weeks before arrival and communicated several times via email. Wei-Wei and Steve we're both very responsive and extremely accommodating! Even down to the last day when we had to make a last minute change because 4 members of our party had travel issues and would have missed the first day of the tour had we not made adjustments. And then there was Tom - our driver. Loved him! Very accommodating, incredibly informative and just too funny! Our trip to Hawai'i was made better because of these guys. read more

AM Tours deserves more than 5 stars! We hosted an international workshop at UHM and needed a shuttle service for about 65 to 70 participants from Waikiki to UHM and transportation to and from Coconut Island, UHM, and Waikiki for about 25 people for a field trip. I asked several transportation/tour/bus companies for quotes, and Steve got me back first (it was really quick) and he gave us the best price for their services. I was a little concerned at the beginning because the AM Tours quote was a lot cheaper than other companies', but I shouldn't have worried at all. Steve and Weiwei always gave me really quick and thorough responses to my emails, and they were flexible about the payment method. Their vehicles were nice and clean with their cute rainbow logo on. The vans had a microphone system so I could make some announcement while we drove to Coconut Island. Drivers were friendly, super punctual, and professional. They were at the pickup locations way before the promised pickup time. I got to talk with one of the drives, Tom, a lot and he was extremely nice, friendly, and knowledgable about the Hawaiian history. One thing I have to mention in this review is Steve's warm kindness. Our participants were from all over the world and they were not familiar with Waikiki at all. So I wasn't sure if they can figure out the pickup location. I told this to Steve and he kindly went to the two pickup locations in Waikiki and took a whole bunch of pictures so that I could give those pictures to the participants with a map. That was so kind of him! If I ever need transportation services for both business and personal purposes, I definitely would like to work with AM Tours again. read more

We had AM Tours transport 45 guests from Waikiki to Sunset Ranch for our wedding.
