It is a very somber... - It is a very somber experience and serves as a good reminder of the sacrifices made during WWII. Well worth the visit.

Great introduction to Waikiki and Pearl Harbor. - Ama, our tour guide, was excellent. He has extensive historical knowledge of Hawaiian history and wonderful presentation skills. It would tell anyone booking this tour to ask for him first. I would recommend this as a first tour when visiting Waikiki. Great overview of the area. I wish I had done this on my first day here.

Pearl Harbor / Honolulu Tour - Ama picked us up on time and was friendly and knowledgeable. Walked us through everything at Pearl Harbor until we felt comfortable. We learned so much about the history of Hawaii and enjoyed his anecdotes during the tour! I'd you book, highly recommend Ama!

Take this tour!!! - This was a fabulous tour! Our guide was Ama and we cold not have asked for a better experience! He was incredibly knowledgable about all things Hawaii, not just Honolulu. His personal anecdotes and enthusiasm made the tour even more special! We were able to see so much without the hassle of having to plan anything ourselves!

Pearl Harbor and City Tour - For the first time in Hawaii, wanting to see Pearl Harbor, this was the best tour I could have booked. I was there on Dec 7th for the 84th aniversary and the company communicated cleary in advance that there wouldn't be tickets available for the navy boat but the stand by system worked out great. Our tour guide, Simina, was extremely knowledgeble about Hawaiian history and WWII. The city tour was perfect with the palace and king staue and I learned a lot in only 4 hours. Higly recomended for anyone that wants to learn history here on Oahu.

Honolulu Pearl Harbor booking - Overall the tour was good We got to see much of Honolulu however we were delayed getting off the cruise ship and our tour guide had booked our tickets for the Arizona at Pearl Harbor at a time that caused us to miss that portion of the tour. That was definetly a bummer especially since we paid more for a private tour so we could see everything

Not worth the time or... - Not worth the time or money. An excursion that can be done better on your own with a little planning. The driver guide (Ama) took us to Pearl Harbor National Memorial and provided tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial but we entered and toured the grounds and museums entirely on our own. Afterwards, we spent about an hour and a half driving around Honolulu as the guide provided historical information about Hawaii, and Honolulu in particular, while passing by sites. We only stopped at the palace and along the shore to take photos. This part of the excursion could also have been done on our own and would have allowed us to stop at multiple locations for extended periods of time. Overall, an expensive excursion that was not the best use of our limited time in Honolulu. Plan in advance, save money and explore Honolulu more actively!

Don't waste your Money! - Disappointing. This tour was a let down. I thought it was going to be more of a private tour of Pearl Harbor, it was not. He showed you where to get standby tickets and where museums were. And that was about it. We had a 1.5 hr wait for boat out to the Arizona but we expected that. It was anniversary of Pearl Harbor. The guide got lost on way to Punch bowl. But once there we did spend time. We did not stop at capital bldg nor the palace. They were not knowledgeable about area history, told us to Google it for answer. The van was old, problems with shutting side door...there was nothing special or extra about this trip. Sad that a family of four spent $1k for a mediocre tour...you could do as well with Uber.
