Great Battlefields tour with informative guide. - Our guide was on time and we started our tour at unity square. We went to the USA memorial, Japanese memorial and Mt. Austen WW2 Museum and met Charlie who has taken over the Museum from his dad. Went to the Memorial Garden and went to the Memorial Tower lookout. Our guide was very informative and made sure we saw everything e wanted to see and more. We were very pleased with his service and everything we saw during the tour.

Understand the impact of WWII - This was a wonderful tour of WWII history. Seeing the sites and landscape gave a real appreciation of the challenges faced by the allies during the battle. Our guide and driver were very knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule. One caution, once you get off the main road the roads are not very good. We felt safe with our driver who navigated the roads expertly.

Enjoyed East Honiara WW2 & City tours - I had a great time with this tour and the Half-Day City Tour. Thanks to Joyce and Morrison for arranging the tours with flexibility, from the airport pickup/sendoff and the impromptu tour with the other not-so-well-known historic battle sites. Meeting and interacting with the locals (meeting Jacob Vouza's grandson in the Red Beach area, then meeting the deputy house speaker at the Bloody Ridge battle site) and also helping out a Japanese visitor on his pilgrimage were definitely added highlights! Definitely not planned, but the flexibility of the operator and guide allowed for such spontaneous experiences. Much appreciated.

A lot to see - A great tour with friendly and cheerful guide and driver. Highlight was the private museum/collection of Willie Besi. Would have been even better if some artefacts like a tank or shipwreck had been included. The Tetere Beach WWII Museum was unfortunately skipped, possibly because we had some car problems.

The tour and guide are good, but meal is not - The tour is imaginative, taking the tourists mostly to the East side of the island, including the Red Beach, a bit far away from the town and thus hard to access. The guide and driver are acknowledgeable. However, the tour does not offer lunch for small parties (less than 3 pax) even though it is clearly stated on the website and the ticket.
