Great Tour; Poor Tour Driver
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/03/30We waited 45 mins. to be picked up at our pick-up location. The driver did not give any explanation or apologize for the delay. When we arrived at the entrance to the Arizona Memorial, he found it would be about 1 1/2 hours before we would be able to actually go to the Memorial. He debated about waiting that long and then suggested we go to the Missouri first. After debating back & forth about that, he finally decided to do that. As soon as he started driving to the Missouri, he expressed concern about getting back at the required time for our tickets for the Arizona. It certainly didn't make us feel very confident. As a result of all this, I believe we were shorted time at both locations. This was our first and probably only trip to Pearl Harbor. We really wanted to experience it in the order in which events occurred - The Arizona and then the Missouri.

Highlight of our Oahu Trip
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/02/07We visited Oahu and the Big Island in January. This tour was the highlight of our short time on Oahu. The tour guides were what made this an extra special experience - very knowledgable and personable. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Need more time on MO
Reviewed by: Bruce, 2011/01/08Arizona part was incredible. Missouri tour a little disappointing since my dad served on the ship & I wanted to know more. Tour kind of rushed us thru. Need more time on the MO & less time in Punchbowl.

con of being part of a tour group
Reviewed by: Sheri Scribe, 2011/01/03Our tour guide Patty was terrific! She had the task of trying to get a busload of tourists stay on schedule. She was patient and kind even when she should have been frustrated with the people who were consistently late for everything from pickup to meeting up with the rest of the group when assigned, but you would never know it! Due to some of the group being late we were not able to stop and see everything that was on the schedule. Patty did drive us by the sites but we could not stop and take pictures and explore. I guess that is part of being in a tour.

Stars and Stripes
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/10/20Great trip but I would like it better not to have to listen so hard to understand what the guide is saying his acent (italian) was hard to know what he was saying more then half the time.
Also he mentioned Obama all the time not a big fan of Obama so was bothered about all the refereneces to the President.
other then the guide the trip was great and had a lot of fun.

Excellent!!!
Reviewed by: Bob, 2010/10/18Visiting Pearl Harbor was the main reason I wanted to go to Hawaii. This tour was Superb!!! Nick was our tour guide, and he was so good at showing us everything and telling us things that you'd never find otherwise. I absolutely recommend this tour and, if I ever go back to Hawaii, I will go on it again.

Review
Reviewed by: Dave Anderson, 2010/03/16The only thing I would say is get there early, but it was the finest experiences I have had. We got to see what we wanted to see and I went to Ernie Pyle's marker. I went to Indiana University and the Joun Bldg is named for him.

Stars and Stripes Tour

Stars & Stripes Tour is worth it...
Reviewed by: Kenny from So. Cal., 2008/08/24It was my first time to Oahu and we did not rent a car, which made this Tour very easy for us. We were picked up and returned in front of our hotel. Our driver "Cousin Greg" was a pleasure to be with, his humor and knowledge of the island was a big hit with our group. Definitely pay the $5 to rent the Audio Tour when you are at the Arizona Memorial. Mighty MO was awsome and Punch Bowl was beautiful. The 'Iolani Palace was closed but the outside was nice to see. The bus was prompt, clean and very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to everyone visting the island of Oahu for the first time. Aloha!

Very touching tour
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2008/01/29What an amazing tour this was. They first take you out to Pearl Harbor where the war was started and you watch the movie about the start of the war, and then you take a boat trip out the memorial which tugs at the heart strings. After pearl Harbor they take you out to USS Missouri where the war ended. You can even see the spot where the surrender was signed. We ate lunch there in the galley, neat experience. Finally we stopped at punchbowl cemetery and looked around. We got some incredible views of the City. Finally they took us on a small sightseeing tour of the city with some fun stories about the history. Great tour! I loved every minute.

Stars & Stripes - Dec 26 2007
Reviewed by: Family with Teens, 2008/01/11Booked directly with Roberts Hawaii prior to coming to Hawaii, the tour guide was great, he told us what not to take to much time on and how everything worked. We only had one problem when we went to the second ship USS missouri, we had a tour guide from the ship and people that were NOT a part of the tour started to join our group which caused our group to become huge by the end and we only had 10 minutes to either eat or see anything else they had, so we missed out on the simulator which the girls really wanted to partake in. Next time I would suggest that you have your own specific tour guide, with colored stickers for the people that are with that tour so that the tour guide can distinguish who paid for this private tour and who did not, as we should not be waiting on people that decided to go at it by themselves and then join a tour which they did not pay for. Other than that, the girls 15 & 17 learned alot and were quite impressed with the whole tour itself. I would suggest th

Pearl Harbor Stars and Stripes
Reviewed by: Mary Siart, 2008/01/03We really enjoyed this tour. Definitely rent the audio recording of the Pearl Harbor exhibit once you get to the Pearl Harbor visitor center. It greatly enhanced the experience. After Pearl Harbor we toured the USS Missouri. What an experience! The tour guide we had on the USS Missouri was great at verbally drawing pictures and explaining what it was like when the Japanese surrendered. Doing both the Pearl Harbor (USS Arizona) and the USS Missouri tours was great because you got to see what marked the beginning and the end of war.

Hawaii Rookies
Reviewed by: Hawaii Rookies, 2007/12/27A great time for history buffs, but the tour does not allow enough time to browse and soak in the sights. It goes fast but one still is moved by the magnitude of the events and sacrifices people paid during those days (and continue to pay).

More Time for Stars and Stripes
Reviewed by: CC, 2007/12/02We had wished for more time to tour the various places (especially the Arizona and Missouri). Though she had kept us on time during the day, we felt a little shorted at these attractions. The city tour was nice as was punchbowl, but time could have been compressed here to afford more time at the Arizona or Missouri. We never made it to the US Army museum as indicated in the itinerary. We did end the day earlier than we had anticipated. Our tour guide was excellent and she knew a lot of information that was helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed her comments and attitude. I understand that it is often hard to predict if people will be on time or not and therefore you need to plan accordingly, however as we were all on time most of the day, I think things could have been adjusted.

Pearl Harbor Stars & Stripes Tour
Reviewed by: Patsy Howell, 2007/06/11I didn't attend this one myself, but my husband and his friend
went together. We girls didn't want to be gone that long, but
the guys enjoyed it immensely.
It goes without saying - that type tour is very touching and
extremely informative. It's great for history buffs. Reminds us
just how quickly something like that can happen to our country.
