Our tour guide Dennis did an amazing job! it was a day full of fun! we got to see almost all major attractions on Oahu, including Pearl Harbor tour, learned interesting facts about each of them. The only thing i can suggest is perhaps skip Diamond Head stop. it is the last one, doesn't give a good view and is too much for one day. Other than this, the tour is perfect DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK IT!

Because we have 5-year old son, we wanted to see everything important on one day and without standing in lines. This trip was perfect for that. We spent enough time in each place and had time for lunch (in Pacific Aviation). Our guide was great, funny and informative. Worth recommending!

We chose the trip with the tour because we had nothing else scheduled for the day, and I'm glad we did! After visiting the memorial, we were able to go aboard the USS Missouri and spent a good amount of time there. Afterwards, our super nice guide took us around town showing us all of the main attractions and was able to answer all of our questions! We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel which made this really convenient. I would recommend this to everyone! We were back by early afternoon so still had plenty of time left to do our own thing for the rest of the day. Great experience!

Very fascinating and informative--too much to see in a day--we did the Bowfin submarine & submarine museum, the Arizona memorial, the outdoor exhibits, and the Missouri short-tour. would have liked the longer tour and completely missed the Pacific Air museum. could have used another half-day. exhibits and guides were great.

Wonderful tour and greatly exceeded our expectations! This is a family run business with many special touches (including first admittance into the USS Arizona Memorial)! Loved the enthusiasm of our tour guide, Duke(a native of Oahu), who had a vast knowledge of the history of Pearl Harbor and other military bases, plus shared some personal stories of military personnel and their real-life experiences that fateful Dec. 7th day. Tour begins early for a good reason! Our tour began with the raising of our national flag and a cannon fire at Fort Shafter at sunrise! A beautiful experience not to be missed!

What a great day!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. We arrived at Pearl Harbor before the crowd and our group was one of the firsts to visit USS Missouri, so we had great pics opportunities.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and to have with you a bottle of water!
It's a must-see attraction to anyone who is interested in history and aspects of the US military.

The tour was really nice!!
The tour guide (Dennis) was very informative and and entertaining!
If it's your first visit, It's a perfect tour to get to know the Island.
It let you see what all the island has to offer so you can decide what you want to go back and see more of.
The lunch location is a plus, the place was outstanding!
Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu!

I had read other reviews of this tour that mentioned not having enough time for everything, so when we booked the tour, I mentioned that seeing the Missouri was our top priority. Sure enough, when we arrived at the memorial, our guide (Steve) handed us tickets to the Missouri with the right guidance so we could see it first, and still have time for the Arizona. Steve was great, gave the whole group detailed coaching and an insider's perspective, and kept us all on track. Terrific use of a day of our vacation!

The Bus Driver was excellent; very knowledgeable and gave us a great visit with great information on the history. Unfortunately it was a morning tour - but we had tickets for 2 PM? Having paid so far in advance it was a little annoying to have to wait for an hour on the stand by line. We never saw the Missouri - just the Punchbowl cemetary - so I think we should get a partial refund on this one as well.

We missed this tour several years ago when we came to Hawaii. We knew we had to take it this time and we were not disappointed. Olav was our driver/guide and was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about all things Pearl Harbor and December 7, 1941 (and before). This tour is a MUST if you are a history buff. If we have the opportunity to return to Hawaii we will definitely do this tour again.
Aloha Paul,
Thank you so much for joining us on Home of the Brave Tours. We appreciate the feedback and encouraging words. Olav has been with us for many years and is such an asset to our company. Every day Olav never ceases to amaze us with his vast knowledge of World War II history. We are very lucky to have him be a part of our team. Thanks again for joining us and we will look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Hawaii.

Good tour for the price. Worth having someone pick you up and do the driving. We wish we had more time on the Missouri and to see the museums back on Ford Island. We drove from Honolulu, to Pearl Harbor to get tickets, back to Honolulu for the tour, then to Pearl Harbor, and then back to Honolulu. I would have preferred that we were picked up a bit later and have the tickets all ready for us. We barely had any breakfast and because there isn't much time, we didn't eat from 6:30 am to almost 4 pm. Our tour guide was very courteous and informative (Marlan).

We totally enjoyed our tour of Pearl Harbor, the BowFin, the Mo and the Aviation Museum. History of that day became so real and also remembering stories from my in-laws regarding the black out shades. The two young children and a teenager enjoyed the short movie before going over to the Memorial as it gave them more insight to what happened that day. We hope the Aviation Museum will be able to have more planes the next time we visit, as that is quite fascinating going through the choppers. The kids all loved going through the BowFin and the Mo, too!

The Pearl Harbor Circle Island Tour was just awesome and a great way to see Honolulu main points. Our tour guide Joey was just awesome and had a great individual to have to show our group around! He knew everything about each stop we made, very detail oriented, gave us plenty time for pictures and to take in the beauty of yeah stop. Seeing Pearl Harbor up close was just history in the making and an unbelievable and sad event but so worth seeing! The tour was nice and a great way to meet other on the tour from all over. Very long tour though, your talking all day! 8-9hrs with lunch included. But it was long and I was beat once it was over with the sun beaming down on you-lol. I totally recommend this tour and Joey our guide for anyone looking to see some Honolulu great picture spots and the history behind each stop and location!

Veltra was great. They called to make sure we were good with our reservations and faxed a copy of our reservation to Pearl Harbor when we were not able to print the voucher.
Pearl Harbor was a great experience. Pearl Harbor is a must for any American visiting Hawaii, great history lesson. I learned a lot of information I was not aware of.
Important information: the Passport does not include a ticket to the USS Arizona. Show up between 6:30-6:45 a.m. to get your ticket. Theses tickets are free (not included with the passport). The only thing I would say is a must is: USS Arizona, USS Arizona audio tour, and tour the USS Wisconsin.

Tour was great and the tour guide did a great job. However, the pick up point was a closed hotel and not well marked. Took a while to find the pick up point, which was only a block away from the hotel where we were staying. Do not understand this as other buses from the same company were picking up at out hotel. We spend a few hours trying to find the pick up point and the operator that was called was not helpful. Overall it was a very nice day but it didn't start out the way that was expected. You need to set the pick up point at the hotel staying. Do not understand why he had to find a closed hotel!
