Unbelievable guide
Unfortunately, I did not hear his name, since I missed it on various occasions, but our tour on 2/20 was one of the best things we did on Oahu. Not all of the sites turned out, but in between, we received this incredible narration of both the legends and the current information on this island and the whole group. By the end of the day we were exhausted but totally immersed into Hawaiian culture and their stories and the up to date info on various subjects.
Though I am a sympathetic listener, I have to say that our guides on this trip did insert there own political and social feelings on areas we passed and visited. I am an Obama supporter, but might have been somewhat put out at our guide's personal info on his relationship with the president in Hawaii. Still, this is real information,not the hearsay on Fox. so perhaps is to the good. Just thinking about solidifying resistence to him because of this kind of statement. Judy

Sometimes the students hired seemed less than knowledgable or interested in their jobs.Others were wonderful. How do you review them?
And finally, because our tickets needed to be reissued, we ended up in the nosebleed section, which would have been fine, except that the air cond
