Great staff, but the tourists got restless. The stops and amount of time allowed to visit was tight. I would suggest the company cut out some of the smaller "extras" part of the tour. It was worth the money spent, but we had cruise ship tourists with us and it made it more stressful trying to rush thorugh everything.

Booked directly with Roberts Hawaii prior to coming to Hawaii, the tour guide was great, he told us what not to take to much time on and how everything worked. We only had one problem when we went to the second ship USS missouri, we had a tour guide from the ship and people that were NOT a part of the tour started to join our group which caused our group to become huge by the end and we only had 10 minutes to either eat or see anything else they had, so we missed out on the simulator which the girls really wanted to partake in. Next time I would suggest that you have your own specific tour guide, with colored stickers for the people that are with that tour so that the tour guide can distinguish who paid for this private tour and who did not, as we should not be waiting on people that decided to go at it by themselves and then join a tour which they did not pay for. Other than that, the girls 15 & 17 learned alot and were quite impressed with the whole tour itself. I would suggest th

Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very solemn experience embedded in history and displayed for future generations in an eloquent, respectful, and informative manner.
I would definitely recommend this tour to others with the suggestion that those going do so in the morning and as there usually is quite a line to get in. However, the tour is well worth it. You can actually imagine what it would have been like to experience the fateful event. The dignified proceedings allow one to truly reflect upon the historic happenings of Dec. 7th, 1941, without an atmosphere of hopelessness.

We really enjoyed this tour. Definitely rent the audio recording of the Pearl Harbor exhibit once you get to the Pearl Harbor visitor center. It greatly enhanced the experience. After Pearl Harbor we toured the USS Missouri. What an experience! The tour guide we had on the USS Missouri was great at verbally drawing pictures and explaining what it was like when the Japanese surrendered. Doing both the Pearl Harbor (USS Arizona) and the USS Missouri tours was great because you got to see what marked the beginning and the end of war.

A great time for history buffs, but the tour does not allow enough time to browse and soak in the sights. It goes fast but one still is moved by the magnitude of the events and sacrifices people paid during those days (and continue to pay).

We toured the Missouri with our Children. The boys loved the guns and it was very interesting to see how they live. I would recommend this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting and not just something that she was there to do. She realy believed in the cause.

Thank you for allowing us to join in on the celebration at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7. This was a special day for myself and my family.
I enjoyed the trip but would have liked more time to see the museum exhibits. The meal was ok but the eating place was way too crowded.
Brandon was a great guide. He answered qustions and kept us going all day.

Besides traveling with family, I had the neighbor next door with us. Her husband was a Pearl Habor survivor so this day was very special to her. To me, it was a once in a life time experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to celebrate with such a special ceremony.
The tour itself was ok. I was disappointed we did not get to spend more time in the museums and to hear more about the events that happened that day.
The lunch stop was too crowded. I was not able to set with my family during the meal.

What a wonderful experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to be able to paricipate in the dedication. To me, it was a once in a life time experience.
The food at our lunch stop was ok. The room they placed us in to eat was not acceptable. It was too crowded and I was not able to be any where near my family when we ate.
We did not have lots of time to visit the museums.

We had wished for more time to tour the various places (especially the Arizona and Missouri). Though she had kept us on time during the day, we felt a little shorted at these attractions. The city tour was nice as was punchbowl, but time could have been compressed here to afford more time at the Arizona or Missouri. We never made it to the US Army museum as indicated in the itinerary. We did end the day earlier than we had anticipated. Our tour guide was excellent and she knew a lot of information that was helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed her comments and attitude. I understand that it is often hard to predict if people will be on time or not and therefore you need to plan accordingly, however as we were all on time most of the day, I think things could have been adjusted.

We were picked up at a hotel very near ours, easy to find. We had a large comfortable bus. The bus driver provide great commentary during the drive to the Arizona. The Arizona memorial is always awesome. This is my third time, my families first. Great video presentation and museum prior to the boat ride.
Tour of the City afterwards was great and we took the option to be dropped off at Hilo Hatties. Great Hawaiian Store.
Thanks!

My spouse and I opted for the Pearl Harbor + circle island tour - which is an all day event.
Our tour guide/driver Kimo knew the history of the island, was funny, and made the entire trip enjoyable. Kimo was able to deliver exactly what we had hoped for, island history, great photo ops, and out of the way discoveries. We also had a great time getting to know the other tour participants. I would recommend this tour for all adults.

My husband and I were the first ones on and 11 hours later the last ones off the tour bus. Kenn was fabulous and kept us attentive and entertained the entire time. He gave his "professional travelers" a bunch of tips as so we wouldn't be mistaken as tourists. In addition to the detailed facts and stories he shared, he also had pictures to support the information he was providing.
We did not rent a car on our vacation to Oahu -there was no need. What we saw on the tour and learned from Kenn along the way was above and beyond what we would've done on our own, had we rented a car. Thanks again Kenn!

This was the only thing on the trip that was a concern. We was not given enough time to listen to the audio at Pearl which I felt would have enhanced the experience. Wish we have been given more time there and one less stop along the road so the driver could smoke!!
Also, the Dole Plantation was nothing. We only had time to look or buy something, not what I came for, and no time to take the tour of the plantation. If I have not asked one of the workers who was planting the pineapples some questions I would not have learned anything about the pineapple crops.
I did thoroughly enjoy the driver. He was very knowledgeable and made the drive fun. The sharing of music from a family tape added a personal touch.

We LOVED our tour and our tour guide Hana! He was very informative and hilarious!! If you go to Oahu n just stay in Waikiki, you're missing out! We are SUPER glad we took this tour. The Island is beautiful and you cant see that from Waikiki. Ive read a review where someone complained the lunch spot on this tour was pricey? No way, its very reasonable and they have a huge variety of food you can eat with various prices. It was a very nice place to eat. We are a young couple (in our 20's) and this was our honeymoon. This tour was the highlight of our trip! THANK YOU HANA!
