I was impressed by the audio visuals used and the visuals used for USS Arizona tour and the Home of Brave portion of the tour.
The tour guide gave us some highlights of the USS Arizona attack as we waited in line for the Memorial to open.
Everything worked well: the extra tidbits, pictures in the van/shuttle, audio visuals; and the stops we made were interesting that also related with the audio visuals.
At the end of the tour, we stopped at a little museum and we were presented with a free post card that showed the areas that we had visited.
Oh - the meal on base that was all you can eat (not included in the price) but very good and less than $10. Great tour - it was a great way to start the vacation off in spite of the rain we experienced in the morning as we waited for the Memorial to open. I now have a $2 poncho that I purchased outside the Memorial and never had to use for the 12 days of my Hawaii stay. It's more of a conversation piece now :)

A very enjoyable day and also emotional one. What made the trip was meeting a Pearl Harbour veteran and also being on the memorial to pay my respects. Our driver that day very funny man he needs to be on the stage.

Kenn, the guide, was terrific. Extremely knowlegeable with a terrific sense of humor. He made the culture come to life and each site we visited a richer experience. One of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu.

The explorer's tour is worth the extra money. Instead of just wandering around on a few decks you get a personally guided tour of about 4 secluded decks including one of the BIG 16 inch gun turrets. Very interesting to see how a battleship works.

The entire tour was excellent. The driver, Tavita, was very friendly, knoweledgable and courteous. He was very entertaining. He played the guitar and ukalele excellently. He made the Pearl Harbor and circle island tour very enjoyable. The tour was an all day tour but the time went by quickly because it was very relaxing, enjoyable as well as educational. I would recommend him as a tour guide to anyone wanting to have fun.

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide, Tavita, was really exceptional, not only did he tell us funny jokes but he sang some songs for us, too! He knows his history. While we were sitting in the bus after visiting the Arizona Memorial he read a poem "Did You Know Me Then". Lunch at the country club was perfect! Just ask for Tavita!

The tour guide was wonderful. The day flew by and didn't even seem like it was 11 hours long. It would be perfect to do right when you get to the island, so you can see all of the different places you can go. The bus was nicely air conditioned which was wonderful.

It was my first time to Oahu and we did not rent a car, which made this Tour very easy for us. We were picked up and returned in front of our hotel. Our driver "Cousin Greg" was a pleasure to be with, his humor and knowledge of the island was a big hit with our group. Definitely pay the $5 to rent the Audio Tour when you are at the Arizona Memorial. Mighty MO was awsome and Punch Bowl was beautiful. The 'Iolani Palace was closed but the outside was nice to see. The bus was prompt, clean and very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to everyone visting the island of Oahu for the first time. Aloha!

After all, this tour is primarily based around a trip to a cemetary. There really isn't that much to see of the Arizona itself, just some shadows underwater really. As I mentioned though, this is a little different to your average tourism spot, no "ooooh's and ahhhh's for the spectacular at the Arizona Monument.
The battleship Missouri is quite impressive though, the tour around the boat itself is quite interesting and is very much worth a look.
The city and punchbowl tour really isn't much at all. You basically drive in and out through the city, that's the tour pretty much. The Punchbowl Cemetary is a three minute detour and probably really isn't woth the bother for what you see there.

Just beware that the tour may last longer than the promised 12:30 return time. I was very worried when our tour guide told us that the previous day they hadn't even entered the AZ Memorial until 11:00 and that we may not get back until after 2pm. It turned out that it all worked out and, fortunately, we got in an early tour. The tour was nice and we really enjoyed the City Tour, which we weren't really expecting!

My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Cousin James, was great. After the Pearl Harbour tour, we went around the city, but like one of the comments said we only had 15 mins to roam around. If you have a car you can go back to those places anyway, or just get off at one of the stops and not continue with the tour, then take "The Bus" back to your hotel. I would recommend this tour to everyone especially first timers.

Very nice tour and value for the money. We visited Oahu 6/12 through 6/16/08 and wanted to see the Arizona Memorial and some of the island without having to rent a car. Friends of ours warned us that if we didn't want to spend hours in line (the Arizona Memorial is free to the public) and to be ensured of seeing the Memorial, booking a tour was the best bet. This tour enabled us to do that. We were the first group on the Memorial and it was very worth seeing. We very much enjoyed touring points of interest but we would of like to spend more time at the Dole Pineapple plantation, 20 minutes wasn't long enough. Overall it was very pleasant and our tour guide was excellent!

My husband and I went to Oahu for the first time. We booked several tours through Robert Hawaii. The service staffs were excellence. Everyone is very funny, friendly, and helpful to us. We enjoyed our time at the Sunset Cruise, I recommended for all couples out there to try it out. We also get to do several luaus during our stays: Sea Life Park Luau and Polynesian Cultural Center Luau. They both were excellence. Food were delicious, and the show is fantastic! Although we like PPC a lot, our guide for that particular tour was not helpful and not knowledgeable. It was not as much fun as we would like it to be. I rather spend time on my own and explore the place. You definitely need a whole day to see all the cultures in this center. Regardless, we have lots of fun and enjoyed our time there. Definitely we will come for another trip and look to use Robert Hawaii service again. Thanks for your service.

Very educational and at the same time interesting. Every American needs to experience this at least once. Gives you a different perspective than most other tours. There was a Scenic drive around the city, too, but the driver didn't stop for us to get out and explore the sights along the way: Iolani Palace, State Capitol, etc. I wanted to go in and see the inside or at least walk around the outside, but it was just a disappointing point and drive show that lasted 3 minutes. You are better off saving your money on this tour and renting a car to go see these places.
