Pearl Harbor with the Fam - Our driver and tour guide was extremely professional and set us up for a perfect day at Pearl Harbor. The tour itself included areas that we had not seen before or even knew existed. We waked through a submarine and toured the Missouri!

Excellent Pearl Harbor Tour - The tour was excellent and our driver Moano was fantastic. She made the trip very enjoyable. The time allotted for each tour was adequate. The lunch was very good and the tour of the USS Missouri and the submarine USS Bowfin were very interesting. It's very emotional going to the Arizona and realizing that 1,177 sailors and marines lost their lives as the ship sank on December 7, 1941. I really enjoyed the air museum and the history.

An Experience Worth Remembering - Our driver (Kenneth) was knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He provided many insights throughout the tour. Memorable visit to Pearl Harbor as one of our tour members was a Vietnam Navy veteran and he was extremely moved. No way to visit the actual site and not be a bit overwhelmed. Try and see the intro movie before going to the Arizona memorial - it makes the experience more meaningful.

Great day. - We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Maureen (Mo) was our driver and she was SOO knowledgeable about Honolulu and as we were driving she was pointing things out and explaining them. We felt we got a lot of information. When we pulled into Pearl Harbor we were so fortunate that the Aircraft Carrier Carl Vinson was there that day. She looked up some history and facts on that while we toured the USS Missouri and had a short video ready for us to watch on the way to lunch.

Great time - Everything was great except the ladies room at the first stop was filthy and we were there for the first tour of the day. The other bathrooms were very clean. The food was horrible I had a chicken meal and it was cold and so hard I couldn’t eat it waste of money. My husband had the salad it was ok but the lettuce looked old. Our guide Gar was awesome! Bus was clean

A salute Gar - Learned quite a lot through the many stops. Arizona memorial, Bowfin submarine, Airforce memorial and the great Battleship Missouri. Also learned tantalizing details from our superb busdriver/historian/guide. Gar, aka Garfield, was engaging and knowledgeable about all things in relation to this beautiful island. He truly made the trip worth every penny. Mahalo Gar Kris and Rob Saucier Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
