The navy treats the arizona memorial as a cemetary, and most of the guests do the same. Some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else by talking loudly, but besides them, there is a definate feeling of patriotism onboard the memorial. The city tour was fact filled and interesting.

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.

There were 4 of us on this tour, and we had varied levels of enjoyment. Overall, the tour is worthwhile. It is a bit of history that everyone should know, even though war is still hell.

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 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!

It was a good trip, the Arizona Memorial was awe-inspiring, the USS Missouri tour informed me of things I didn't. Also since it was the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty, they were sprucing it up. A little disappointed couldn't get out in Punchbowl or downtown, but time constraints may have played a part in that.
Overall it was excellent, our tour guide was well informed and easy to understand.

WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr
