while I enjoyed the trip, we were unable to go out to the memorial by boat because of the wind. That was the main reason for the tour, so I feel that my once in a lifetime vacation was incomplete.
Be warned that the Military can shut down the shuttles as they see fit.

This trip was amazing. It was a great way to see the Missouri Battleship, Punch Bowl cemetary,and Arizona. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the Oahu area.

Everyone would be well served to visit this beautiful memorial and remember why we enjoy so many freedoms. We will recount the cost of liberty and be more grateful. The Mighty Mo was awe inspiring and strengthened my pride in America! No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a visit to these sacred memorials.

We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.

We waited 45 mins. to be picked up at our pick-up location. The driver did not give any explanation or apologize for the delay. When we arrived at the entrance to the Arizona Memorial, he found it would be about 1 1/2 hours before we would be able to actually go to the Memorial. He debated about waiting that long and then suggested we go to the Missouri first. After debating back & forth about that, he finally decided to do that. As soon as he started driving to the Missouri, he expressed concern about getting back at the required time for our tickets for the Arizona. It certainly didn't make us feel very confident. As a result of all this, I believe we were shorted time at both locations. This was our first and probably only trip to Pearl Harbor. We really wanted to experience it in the order in which events occurred - The Arizona and then the Missouri.

We visited Oahu and the Big Island in January. This tour was the highlight of our short time on Oahu. The tour guides were what made this an extra special experience - very knowledgable and personable. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Our travel agent suggested this tour as a great way to see Pearl Harbor and downtown Honolulu, and she was right on the money! Our guides were friendly and very informative sharing lots of detail, Pearl Harbor was moving and very special, and the USS Missouri was impressive. This is a great tour, though you spend a lot of time on the shuttle while going through Honolulu

Arizona part was incredible. Missouri tour a little disappointing since my dad served on the ship & I wanted to know more. Tour kind of rushed us thru. Need more time on the MO & less time in Punchbowl.

Our tour guide Patty was terrific! She had the task of trying to get a busload of tourists stay on schedule. She was patient and kind even when she should have been frustrated with the people who were consistently late for everything from pickup to meeting up with the rest of the group when assigned, but you would never know it! Due to some of the group being late we were not able to stop and see everything that was on the schedule. Patty did drive us by the sites but we could not stop and take pictures and explore. I guess that is part of being in a tour.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide/bus driver, Garfield, was amusing and extremely knowledgeable. The bus was very comfortable.
We recommend this excursion to anyone interested in seeing the WWII sites at Pearl Harbor as well as the Punchbowl Cemetery.

Great trip but I would like it better not to have to listen so hard to understand what the guide is saying his acent (italian) was hard to know what he was saying more then half the time.
Also he mentioned Obama all the time not a big fan of Obama so was bothered about all the refereneces to the President.
other then the guide the trip was great and had a lot of fun.

Visiting Pearl Harbor was the main reason I wanted to go to Hawaii. This tour was Superb!!! Nick was our tour guide, and he was so good at showing us everything and telling us things that you'd never find otherwise. I absolutely recommend this tour and, if I ever go back to Hawaii, I will go on it again.

First time to Hawaii, this definitely was a must see. Our tour guide was very informative, he himself served in the military. He kept us on schedule, we had no long lines to stand in to receive our tickets, our guide received the tickets directly from the booth for our entire group, allowing us to enter promptly. The tour of Pearl Harbor was a very solemn reminder of the cost that has been paid to sustain our nation's freedom. Enjoyed the tour of the USS Missouri, the ship is massive, tour guide did a wonderful job pointing out the facts and point of interests on the ship. The tour of the Pucnchbowl & downtown was just as good. Our guide again shared alot of interesting facts & info. Well worth the time.

The only thing I would say is get there early, but it was the finest experiences I have had. We got to see what we wanted to see and I went to Ernie Pyle's marker. I went to Indiana University and the Joun Bldg is named for him.
Peace and Freedom

We only had one day on Oahu. We were interested in an overview of Pearl Harbor and Oahu. This tour more than fulfilled this objective. Our tour guide was very experienced, enthusiastic, clever, and he treated us like valued customers.

We really enjoyed this tour!! Our guide was very knowlegable and experienced. Everyone visiting Oahu should visit the Arizona at least once. The Missouri was also very interesting, as was the Punchbowl.

Our guide was coughing into the mike as he talked and we thought if he was sick, he should have stayed home. He could have at least removed the mike when he was coughing.
The tour itself was wonderful!

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.

Wonderful tour. Guide on the Missouri - "Toby" was great. He served on Mighty Mo and was very knowledgeable of every detail of the ship. Will do it again.

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!
