All Reviews for Arizona Memorial & Missouri Tours

The navy treats the arizona memorial as a cemetary, and most of the guests do the same. Some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else by talking loudly, but besides them, there is a definate feeling of patriotism onboard the memorial. The city tour was fact filled and interesting.

What 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.

Booked 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

Excellent experience. I would not miss it for anything. Will do it again the next time we are in Hawaii.

Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very solemn experience embedded in history and displayed for future generations in an eloquent, respectful, and informative manner.
I would definitely recommend this tour to others with the suggestion that those going do so in the morning and as there usually is quite a line to get in. However, the tour is well worth it. You can actually imagine what it would have been like to experience the fateful event. The dignified proceedings allow one to truly reflect upon the historic happenings of Dec. 7th, 1941, without an atmosphere of hopelessness.

"Cousin" Greg was a great Tour Guide -- very
professional, informative and entertaining!
My entire family enjoyed the tour very much.

We 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.

This was an awesome tour. There were 6 of us including my mother who is 76 and her first time in Hawaii. We loved this and the tour guide was excellent

A 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).

There were 4 of us on this tour, and we had varied levels of enjoyment. Overall, the tour is worthwhile. It is a bit of history that everyone should know, even though war is still hell.

We toured the Missouri with our Children. The boys loved the guns and it was very interesting to see how they live. I would recommend this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting and not just something that she was there to do. She realy believed in the cause.

We 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.

We were picked up at a hotel very near ours, easy to find. We had a large comfortable bus. The bus driver provide great commentary during the drive to the Arizona. The Arizona memorial is always awesome. This is my third time, my families first. Great video presentation and museum prior to the boat ride.

Tour of the City afterwards was great and we took the option to be dropped off at Hilo Hatties. Great Hawaiian Store.

Thanks!

Wonderful tour of Arizona Memorial, Missouri, Cemetary of the Pacific and downtown. Our driver, Nick, was fantastic!

We had a wonderful time on this activity.
Our bus driver was so funny and friendly.
He really cared about helping us have a fun trip. I would recomend this to all of my friends.

We had a great time and the guide was very knowledgable and personable...thank you.

Our guide, Richard, was the best and was able to answer all our questions with candor.

We didn't have much time on Oahu so this tour lenght was the best for us. Oscar the driver was great!

We took the Explorer's tour and had a guide, he was very knowledgeable and this tour was the BEST of all the tours we took in Hawaii!

We had a small 3-couple Stars & Stripes Tour in a minivan and it was great. What made it so great was the
friendly, accommodating, very knowledgeable, humorous guide who chose to be called "Cousin James".

Docent was knowledgable and patient and the tour was good. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.

Guide was knowledgable and patient. Particularly enjoyed description on Surrender Deck. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.

Our tour guide was Cousin Fred.. He was excellent!! He was very knowledgable, humorious, and personable. We could not have had a better driver. The experience was wonderful. If we get to Hawaii again, I would definitely use Roberts again.

The driver was funny and pointed out all the interesting sights and details. The tour itself was good. It was our first day on the island and a great chance to see things without getting lost. We took time later to visit some places again, but had the history (as presented by our driver) to help us understand it all. Thanks for a great tour!!

Unique experience ... would like to more of the inards of the ship though.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Pearl Harbor and the city. Our bus driver was very personal--cousin Ted, so he called himself to us. He was very knowledgeable of the city and helpful.

We had an amazing time. "Cousin Dave" was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed all that was shown and told to us. The Pearl Harbor and City tour was much more than we expected and worth every penny spent. Thank you!

Great trip/tour. Tour guide was great, friendly, on time, and informative.

The Arizona and Honolulu tour was very well done. We arrived at the Arizona Memorial early and our guide was very well versed in the happenings. Honolulu tour was quick but infomative.

I 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.
