Really happy - Really happy with this tour. Extremely good guide. Picked us at the hotel and brought us back. Nothing bad to say. Didn’t stress us about the time, let us do the visits without stress. Would recommend strongly to anyone.

Great Experience & Excellent Tour Guide! - What a wonderful experience we had with Eva. She was so knowledgeable about the history and the culture of the islands, She kept us informed and engaged throughout the tour. She was able to adapt to our "special needs" during several of the stops. Listening to her remarkable story of coming to the islands only enhanced our total experience. It was one of our best experiences on Oahu. Thanks

City tour - The city tour could have been more detailed and history could have been more factual- less biased. We enjoyed Pearl Harbor exhibits. A sobering experience bit well worth it

Highly Recommended Tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor - Ama was great! True Hawaiian story teller and we learned so much about the people of Hawaii and Honolulu. If you are a planner like me, just know that Ama will reach out the night before to schedule the time, but you’re still booked. I would expect to be picked up somewhere between 8 and 9 AM. I cannot recommend the tour enough.

A fantastic tour guide filled with Hawaiian Knowledge - Ama was a knowledgeable and skillful tour guide who expertly navigated us throughout Honolulu and to Pear Harbor. He made Hawaiian history come alive while explaining the historical significance of each location we visited. He expressed the spirit of Aloha and made sure our tour went exactly how we wanted. He navigated us through more difficult parts of the city, but also gave us time to free time t roam as we wanted in other parts. I would highly recommend Ama’s services, especially if it is early in your trip. He makes great suggestions and helps us get our bearings.

Misleading experience - highly not recommended - As much as I appreciated our local guide’s natural enthusiasm and energy, this private tour was incredibly misleading and misrepresented. After in depth research and going through the reviews, we specifically chose this tour with the understanding that “private tour of Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona” meant exactly that. The real tour couldn’t be further from the description and I’m incredibly disappointed that this has not been addressed in guest reviews. This also leads me to believe there is dishonesty with not only the operator but the guests as well. We have done several TripAdvisor private tours domestically and internationally and this was the one first time we truly felt gypped. At $233/per person, you get a “private shuttle” that picks you up, summary of life on the island, reckless driving navigating Waikiki traffic, dropped off at Pearl Harbor for 1 hr to roam around at your leisure and boat ride to see USS Arizona (approx 15mins total, as it turns out you can reserve for under $30), picked up and random tour in Chinatown and downtown Honolulu for 30mins. There were no other tickers or attractions included. From our perspective this tour should be updated to reflect as described and not misrepresented thinking you were getting an entire private tour of Pearl Harbor sites and areas impacted in 1941. We are middle-aged professionals and have the upmost respect for all industries and gig workers but this tour was incredibly misleading and in full transparency, not worth the $480 for 2 ppl. The experience left an extremely sour and anticlimactic impression and would not recommend at this price. To this guide operator, please update your marketing description and package to align with what you’re truly offering. This experience was the biggest regret of our trip.
