Definitely take the tour - The tour was wonderful, just enough time to see what I wanted to see and not be worn out by staying out too long making short stops. Being a senior, I appreciate the less 5-10 minutes stops along the way. Our driver, Sierra, was terrific. So knowledgeable about the history of the islands. A great driver through all the downtown traffic. Hotel pick up was right on time in a large, comfortable van. The drive to Pearl Harbor was not very long. I would suggest when you get there, you go immediately to the theater to see the movie. It is the same location as the line for waiting for the shuttles to the Arizona Monument. Then go through the museum and gift shop, grab a snack and then get in line for the shuttle as a timed group. Once there you have about 15-20 minutes, which is long enough, and the shuttle will take you back as a group. If you take a longer tour or go on your own, you can tour the submarine or take a bus to Ford Island and tour the Missouri. The property is beautiful. Such a moving experience. Sierra made a special stop for us at the Leonard's Donut Truck and that was a great extra! Delicious local food only available at that location. I appreciated that stop! Walked along the Iolani Palace property and saw the Kamehameha Statue for great pictures. We got back on time – we were never made to feel rushed. Great day!

Pearl Harbour Tour - Had an amazing trip to Pearl Harbour and USS Arizona. Our guide Christine was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver! I had no idea about some of the actions that led to the attack on Pearl Harbour and it was also interesting to have a tour of Honolulu and learn more about its history. Would 100% recommend

Great time on the Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, Hawaiian HIstory Tour - My husband and I had a really great time on the Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, Hawaiian HIstory Tour. Our guide, Matthew, was very knowledgeable about the various historical places we stopped. He was very curteous and accommodating of the group members with disabilities. We were given plenty of time to look around and take pictures and we never felt rushed to get back to the group or get to the next location. If I could do anything differently, I would have made more time to spend at Pearl Harbor. There is so much to see and we just could see it all.

Excellent service, great tour guide - Matt was our tour guide and he was the best. He shared lots of history, interesting facts and was a great help to me as I was on a knee scooter. He gave an informative talk as we drove around Honolulu before going to the Pearl Harbour memorial. He answered all our questions and even helped to celebrate one of our group members birthday! Daniel's tour service has great communication, and made it very easy to book this tour. I will use them again on our next adventure!

Not a great experience - Having you tell me there were no tickets available and not being able to go! Also getting texts everyday while we were on the cruise was a nuisance.
