Great Guide and Great Tour

Our tour guide Christine was wonderful. She was on time and kept our group on schedule with the activities. Christine gave us a lot of history while on the bus, and made it interesting at the same time. And the walking portion of the tour was great! Christine is a fantastic guide. I would highly recommend this tour.

Pearl Harbor was a win but Downtown was not

Pearl Harbor was amazing! However, we really didn’t need 4.5 hours there. Spent about an hour and a half waiting around to meet back up. Then, there was no guided walking tour of downtown. Our driver parked for 20 minutes in downtown and we had to race around and try to find the sites ourselves and rush back to the bus. Wish some of the Pearl Harbor time had been used for downtown.

Confirmed Access to Arizona Memorial

What attracted us to this tour was the guaranteed tickets to the Arizona Memorial. Also, Christine was a fantastic guide. Her communication and flexibility on pickup and drop off were very clear and helpful. She gave us some great historical information and was able to answer the questions that came to our minds. Overall, a great experience.
