Oahu
Nice city tour with special driver but the memorial just acceptable
The tour was wonderful due to Larry's knowledge of Downtown. He was a pleasure to listen to and a good sense of humor. Very organized tour. Thank you
Our tour guide Alex (has been doing this for almost 30 years..) was absolutely amazing and informative.

We were picked up on time by a very professional and knowledgeable driver who explained everything we needed to know before entering Pearl Harbor. We had time to visit the museum buildings which included many relics from the era and the gift shop before entering the building where a short film is seen. We then boarded a boat piloted by military personnel who brought us to the memorial. Once we entered the memorial we we asked to keep conversations to a whisper to respect the souls below. It was a very humbling moment for us all. We were then taken back to shore and boarded our bus to head to the Missouri. We were told NOT to take any pictures while driving they the military base until we got to the Missouri, There are lots of places to have a quick meal before and after boarding the Ship. Once you're on the ship you can go out on your own or take a free guided tour which I would suggest. because all of the important areas like where the surrender took place. After the tour you will still have time to walk about the ship and to go beneath to view crew quarters and other areas of interest. After leaving the ship we boarded our bus, picked up our bags and purses at the locker area (not allowed at Pearl Harbor) and headed to the Punch Bowl for a short drive thru to pay our respects then to our hotels. This was a very informative tour done by a great drive who also acted as the tour guide. He didn't miss a thing and made us feel that we were back un the day with his presentation. His company would be very proud of him!!
It was a fantastic tour! Our guide/bus driver Larry was a wealth of knowledge on everything from Hawaiian history to all the buildings in the area and I learnt so much that I would have never known without him. He also told us plenty about Pearl Harbour too and made sure we knew what we were doing. He was very funny too and you could tell he was very experienced and qualified for his job, it was a fantastic experience and definitely worth my money.
We had a great time on this excursion! Marlon our driver was very knowledgeable of the history of Pearl Harbor. His passion for sharing history was very inspirational. His personal touch made the tour! He was organized and efficient. Thank you for a great experience!
Generally the tour is good, however, the tour guide didn't introduce other activities available at Pearl Harbor, such as Battleship Missouri Tour. We could organise the tours better if he told us how much time other tours take. The Battleship tour definitely worth it, we stayed behind for it.
Toa was very knowledgeable about the history of the memorial and also very entertaining
First time booking a tour when visiting Oahu and was pleased with this company. Price was very reasonable especially because it includes transportation and advance tickets to USS Arizona. Bus was very spacious & clean & comfortable & on time! Our driver, John, was very pleasant & professional. Knocked off 1 star because I wish there was more time spent touring downtown. I thought this tour included Chinatown but we didn't even get close nor was it even mentioned. Honestly, Honolulu is not so big that more time can't be spent exploring. Overall, a very nice experience, mahalo!
This is a “must do” activity. You can spend an entire day, or just a few hours. We ended up spending about 6:00 hours and loved every bit. Go early, as the crowds are not bad in the mornings before 9:00.
Great experience. Bus driver very knowledgeable of Arizona memorial. Standing on the memorial floor was very humbling. Recommend this experience to my friends and family.
I would use this company again.
Our guide was informative and personable. I had thought that a more complete tour was included, but we did get comprehensive into regarding behind-the-scenes operations. Unfortunately, we didn't allow enough time to explore the other areas.
This tour was filled with lots of information about the history of the island and the people. Pearl Harbour is a must see.
Great day. Whilst informative the tour guide did not stop talking for the whole time the bus was moving... He needs to review what he is passing on to the people.
Pearl harbor is amazing, the tour around the city was good as well.Our tour guide was great and had lots of information to share about each site.
City tour was very good. But no boat ride to the Arizona Memorial (hitide !!!!)
Wonderful full shop tour. Couldn't have been better. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent bus driver he was very personable. Enjoyed the visit to the Arizona memorial very much do much history should not be forgotten
Everything we could have hoped for!
Service & courtesy was outstanding!!
This was amazing to see! Highly recommended. It was touching to see and learn about.
Had such a lovely day on this tour, the guide showed us around town including the palace and the cemetery and gave us some great insights into local culture. Once at pearl harbour we were handed our tickets and told what times to be at what places, heading out to the Arizona was definitely a highlight for me. All in all an enjoyable day
Larry our guide was very knowledgeable about the city, and gave good direction on how to get the most out of the Arizona Memorial tour. Larry gave great suggestions on places to dine, and other places to see. Had a great day!
The tour is very educational. We enjoyed it very much. Larry, our bus driver, made it exciting and entertaining. So I'd like to thank them for a great time!
Our tour guide was awesome - very informative and entertaining tour. Pearl harbor was amazing, our only disappointment was that the navy wouldn't let us onto the Arizona memorial due to "high winds".
Highly recommended tour!
The driver Patrick was nice and the tour in the city interesting. At pearl Harbor we were very disapointed cause the boat could not let us go on the arizona monument due to the wind !! That was our purpose to see it and the deception was high..
We went on a hot day on our honeymoon. It was very interesting to hear about the history
This was a powerful tour in part cause of our driver Tao!
So glad we did the half day tour which included some interesting parts of Honolulu itself. Larry was an awesome tour guide who made the tour even more enjoyable.
Pearl Harbour was a very sobering experience but also very informative
I would recommned going to the see the Arizona Memorial. the experience is just memorable. My boys love seeing the how the men and women survived on the ship and how they battled wars. At times it can be sad to see how life was and still is for these soldiers.
Great tour!!!!! just not enough time. Guide was excellent.
