    Great Tour

    Mary_E, Sep 2026
    Our guide Rich was knowledgeable & Took us all around Honolulu & showed us all the important sights. However, our time on Pearl Harbor was short so unfortunately we were unable view the museum exhibits due to lack of time.

    Average tour

    Julie_A, Sep 2026
    The tour did show us what it indicated but it g felt quite rushed. We didn't have time at Pearl Harbor to see exhibits other than the USS Arizona. The rest was "drive by and look" no other stops. Maybe I should have read the exact description better but I was expecting a bit more.

    Should have taken an Uber!

    Michele_B, Sep 2026
    First of all, the driver was late, and we almost missed our boat shuttle time. Next, The description says that it is a guided tour and that tickets are included. Neither is technically accurate. The guide just picked us up and drove us to the memorial, gave us tickets, and quickly explained the direction we should go to get started. There was no guide at the memorial-though none was really needed. In addition, there is no charge to go to the memorial or watch the video in the first place! Finally, we didn’t get out of the vehicle to see the punch bowl cemetery or memorial. We quickly drove by/through. We should have just taken an Uber and we would have saved a great deal of money. The lady was very nice though; I just think that putting “guided” and “tickets included” are both very misleading statements.

    Fun and knowledgeable

    Corey was probably the nicest person we met on the island and that is saying something as everyone was so nice. He gave great insight and the tour was good and thorough.

    George_B, Jul 2026
    Don’t use this company we had to Uber to the pick up point , when you get to Pearl Harbor the guide just tells you where the pick up place is and then you are on your own, Iwe county have had the Uber driver drop up there and saved a lot of money!!!

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Aloha George, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our tours include both pickup and return transportation for all guests. We are concerned by your comment regarding having to take an Uber to the pickup location, as this is not our standard practice. If there was a misunderstanding or an issue with your reservation, we would have appreciated the opportunity to assist you. Regarding Pearl Harbor, all commercial tour operators must comply with National Park Service regulations, which do not allow guides to accompany guests inside the Visitor Center, museums, theater, shuttle boat, or USS Arizona Memorial. Our guides provide historical background and detailed orientation before your visit so you can make the most of the National Park Service experience. We value all feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. Mahalo for taking the time to share your comments.

    Pearl Harbor Tour

    Linda_A, Jul 2026
    Very interesting and thoughtful trip to see Pearl Harbor. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the history of the Islands and Pearl Harbor. It was nice to have only one other couple in our group.

    Pearl Harbor and Punchbowl

    Sandi_F, Jul 2026
    Our tour guide, Noelani, did a wonderful job. Her knowledge of the area made for an experience to remember.

    Optional

    Brian_O, Jul 2026
    Personal guided tour is - pick you up drive you around to pick up more people. When you are first to be picked up that means a long ride. Then drive around some more, point at stuff, then drive you to the memorial and kick you out to do it then pick you up when it is over and drive you back to a pick up point. I always judge stuff when it is over with, “ if I knew then what I know now would I do it again?” The answer is no. I would just buy AZ Memorial tickets and drive there myself or uber when it is time. The memorial was memorable.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Aloha Brian, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the USS Arizona Memorial was a memorable part of your visit. Our tour is designed for travelers looking for more than just transportation to Pearl Harbor. It includes hotel pickup and drop-off, comfortable transportation, historical narration during the drive, and the convenience of reserved USS Arizona Memorial tickets, which can be difficult to secure independently. As described in our tour listing, this is a small-group sightseeing tour, which includes picking up guests from multiple hotels before arriving at Pearl Harbor. In accordance with National Park Service regulations, commercial tour guides are not permitted to accompany guests inside the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, museums, theater, shuttle boat, or the USS Arizona Memorial. We understand that some travelers may prefer to visit independently. However, our tour is designed for those who value the convenience of transportation, guaranteed memorial tickets, and the added historical insight provided by our experienced guides. Mahalo for choosing Personalized Hawaii Tours, and we appreciate your feedback

    Great!

    Marjorie_G, Jul 2026
    Wonderful! Rich was great. Very knowledgeable. I am sure if you wanted to stop, get out to take pics, he would accommodate.

    Pearl Harbor

    Alan_D, Jul 2026
    Our driver and tour guide, Riley, was super friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and accommodating! This tour was perfect for our family (2 kids ages 14 & 11) - enough time to appreciate the site & monuments, but not too long to make them bored.

    The ticket stated 9am....

    Nancy_G, Jul 2026
    The ticket stated 9am. But the tour guide without informing us, made it at 8 am. Apparently a bigger group had to be back early. We are told to be ready at 7:40;am. It's supposed to be 4 hours. It was 3.

    Corey did an excellent job of educating us on the back story before we arrived at the Pearl Harbour Memorial Centre. If you are booking ask for Corey!

    Pearl Harbor a must!

    Evelyn_B, Jun 2026
    Bring a water bottle. Snacks are available. Visit the USS Arizona and then see movie. If possible try to visit the USS Missouri too. Awesome experience.

    Great private tour

    Stuart_W, Jun 2026
    Take the more private tour, it’s so nice. Your had our tickets for Pearl Harbor. Expressway was closed due to two accidents, our driver routed around the problem and had us there in plenty of time, we wouldn’t have been able to do that. Guide had a lot of helpful tips. Took us on 4 more quick stops a very nice 4 hour tour for a great price.

    My husband and I...

    Amanda_M, Jun 2026
    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was informative and engaging. The time at Pearl Harbor was emotional, and the tour around Honolulu was great.

    Chris_L, Jun 2026
    Need another option if u have already went to the capital Have a scenic route so people can go through the tunnels to the other side of the island My guide was the best truly went above and beyond

    Great Guide- Great Tour!

    Tracey_Y, Jun 2026
    The small group tour was the way to go for sure! We had a wonderful guide (I'm sorry for forgetting his name!) who had all sorts of fun and interesting facts to tell us about both before and after Pearl Harbor. Lots of Hawaiian history and of course information about the time leading up to the bombing and what to expect at Pearl Harbor the day of. Truly a great way to tour the memorial.

    Departure travel from Hotel to Airport.

    Rebecca_P, Jun 2026
    Safe and comfortable. Driver was friendly and informative. Vehicle was clean and we were The only customers.

    Not What We Had Hoped For…

    kmfreitas1, Jun 2026
    Two hours went by really quickly at the USS Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor site. Would’ve enjoyed a bit more time here to really see everything well. This tour was not ADA-friendly. Driver/Guide did not ask any guests if they had any physical limitations that might require assistance. My friend has lower back issues and could have used a steady hand up into the van and out of it, but driver offered neither. We grabbed a wheelchair at the memorial entrance to use during our time there, but was told we could not go all the way to the tour van with it. (!) Ridiculous. It was raining lightly and the pavement was wet and slick. I offered to run the wheelchair back to the entrance after leaving my friend at the van to wait for the others. Finally, the tour guide said she’d have another guide do that. As a group, we were never asked by the guide if we had any questions along the drive. What????! We have taken other Viator tours in Portland and elsewhere whereby the guests were given ample opportunity to ask questions and encouraged to do so. Very disappointing…

    Rich was extremely knowledgable and we had a fantastic day. He went out of his way to explain any questions that our group may have had.
