Sobering visit to Pearl Harbor. - Brought to mind my experience during 9/11 attack. I was able to feel the emotion the men, women and children must have felt with the news of the great loss of life, shock and horror of the event and the fear for the future in a world filled with war and uncertainty. So grateful we are not in a great world war today. Grateful for the women and men serving in our military. May God bless them all. ‘Am I worth dying for today’ will be in my mind as it was in Eleanor Roosevelt’s mind from this day forward. Thank you Christine with Daniel’s tours for encouraging the meaningful conversation among our 5 tour participants from around the world. particoanys

Highly recommended - We were able to spend the tour with Nazia. Nazia really made a lot of effort and was very nice. She even answered our children's constantly curious questions with a lot of patience. We recommend Nazia to everyone. The tour was informative and very well explained. Lg

Great tour to book for solo traveler or groups. - The tour was wonderful and well timed. We visited landmarks and statues in Honolulu and arrived before major crowds at Pearl Harbor. I enjoyed being picked up and dropped off at my resort, and the communication for pickup/drop off was done in an organized manner. Christine was my tour guide and did a wonderful job providing historical facts and connecting with each person in my small group. I was picked up at 6:30am and dropped off to my resort by 11:50 which gave me plenty of time to enjoy the rest of my day in Waikiki.

Not worth the money - At about $80 a person my family paid about $320 and it was definitely not worth that amount of money. First off our driver was about 15 minutes late picking us up. This doesn’t seem long but when you’re waiting on the side of the street with no clue of when they’ll show up at 6am this can feel like a lifetime. We called Daniel tours multiple times during this wait and they couldn’t give any real details about the vans ETA. Next our actual driver mentioned she didn’t usually do these tours she does the German Circle Island tour. As we drove to Pearl Harbor she gave no guidance or details about the scenery or history of Hawaii. Even as other passengers asked about certain scenery she just said sorry I don’t know. At Pearl Harbor she showed us the entrance this just left and said she would be back 3 hours later! The tour was only supposed to 5 hours and we were already an hour in. She came back then showed us the state capital, the palace, and the cruise ship port and again without telling us any information! We were just rushed around then told we could take pictures. My family and I could’ve rented a car for the for $60 and drove to these places ourself! We booked the tour for a guide not a ride. Total waste of money.
