The driver was great! He shared all kinds of information with us about both the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri as well as Pearl Harbor. He was also able to give detailed information about each historical location we passes as well as Punchbowl Cemetary. It was a great trip worth taking!!!

After all, this tour is primarily based around a trip to a cemetary. There really isn't that much to see of the Arizona itself, just some shadows underwater really. As I mentioned though, this is a little different to your average tourism spot, no "ooooh's and ahhhh's for the spectacular at the Arizona Monument.
The battleship Missouri is quite impressive though, the tour around the boat itself is quite interesting and is very much worth a look.
The city and punchbowl tour really isn't much at all. You basically drive in and out through the city, that's the tour pretty much. The Punchbowl Cemetary is a three minute detour and probably really isn't woth the bother for what you see there.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The Driver (from Samoa) was very knowledgeable and entertaining about the Islands and the Arizone /Missouri. He made it well worth the time and money.

I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island for the first time. As long as the pick-up bus gets started, the tour is a fun and enjoyable one while learning a great deal about the history of Pearl Harbor. Tour guide was excellent.

An outstanding tour. We did the "Explorers' Tour" which was fascinating and John, our guide, was brilliant. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see the workings of a battleship and see what our brave men had to endure with 'life on board'.

I just want to say this was one of the most enjoyable, educational tours we've taken. 'Mr. Bill' our guide was very informative and had a sense of humor. I would recommend the full Explorer tour to everyone, you learn so much. As my father was on the USS Colorado for twenty years and I always wanted to know what life was really like during the war on one of these beautiful ships. It is really hard to imagine what our boys went through during WWII and have great admiration for all those that served.

The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.

This tour was the highlight of my entire trip. Despite the early start time I was very impressed with all of the activities and sights we were able to see. From waterfalls to rainforests to incredible lava rock fields this tour offered everything imaginable on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tour guide could have given us some down time from the non-stop chatting but he gave a lot of very informative information and was highly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

enjoyed our explorer tour of the missiouri - tour guide Dom was amazing! Her inside knowledge was incredible! We were a little confused as to the inclusion or not of the general audio tour as well, as there was alot of things not covered on the explorers tour. Also were not aware of the proximity of the bowfin, museums... and did not have enough time to do all we would have liked at Pearl Harbour. Also, transportation would've been nice as the bus made us late for our tour even though we allowed 1 and 1/2 hours.

Pearl Harbor-Battleship Missouri Tour. I had randomly chosen this tour as a last-minute activity before we visited Honolulu. It was a wonderful surprise to have a very knowledgeable individual tour guide. The additional spaces we we able to visit on the ship were awesome and it was indeed worth price of admission.

My father fought in WWII in Italy, my brother was stationed off the coast of Vietnam for two tours, and my son is now serving in Iraq. To say the least the tour of the USS Missouri and the viewing of Pearl Harbor was emotional...just thinking about all who fought for our freedom and all who gave their life. Thank you for preserving history.

Thank you for allowing us to join in on the celebration at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7. This was a special day for myself and my family.
I enjoyed the trip but would have liked more time to see the museum exhibits. The meal was ok but the eating place was way too crowded.
Brandon was a great guide. He answered qustions and kept us going all day.

Besides traveling with family, I had the neighbor next door with us. Her husband was a Pearl Habor survivor so this day was very special to her. To me, it was a once in a life time experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to celebrate with such a special ceremony.
The tour itself was ok. I was disappointed we did not get to spend more time in the museums and to hear more about the events that happened that day.
The lunch stop was too crowded. I was not able to set with my family during the meal.

What a wonderful experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to be able to paricipate in the dedication. To me, it was a once in a life time experience.
The food at our lunch stop was ok. The room they placed us in to eat was not acceptable. It was too crowded and I was not able to be any where near my family when we ate.
We did not have lots of time to visit the museums.
