MAR172026 - Less We Forget.

Gwen_M, Mar 2026
The experience of going to Pearl Harbor and taking the time to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on December 7, 1941 plus visiting the museums, submarine, walking the grounds and reading what is there, is worth the day. Our Tour Guide Mr. Clyde William was very knowledgeable and conducted an excellent tour. The tour of Honolulu was also an eye opener and we throughly enjoyed this 1 in a lifetime experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo for sharing your experience. We’re so glad you found the visit meaningful and enjoyed the full tour. Clyde will be happy to hear your kind words. We truly appreciate you joining us!

Bad

Steven_R, Mar 2026
The ride was bad. Truck was not running good. Driver was not informative. Purchasing was led to believe I purchased the whole experience. But had to pay extra at the memorial. Was a self tour. No guide.

The tour operator Jorge...

Anonymous, Feb 2026
The tour operator Jorge was very knowledgeable. However, communication about pick up time was horrible.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Aloha, Mahalo for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that Jorge was knowledgeable and provided a good experience during the tour 🤙 We sincerely apologize for the poor communication regarding your pickup time. That is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that can be. We will be reviewing this internally to improve clarity and consistency in our guest communications. Mahalo again for sharing your experience with us. 🌺

Fabulous Outing

Julie_H, Nov 2025
What a great experience. Visited Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri before a trip around Honolulu. Pearl Harbor is a must for everyone. Somber, emotional and very reflective of sacrifices given by all those members of our military branches. Our guide, Cousin Miah, was awesome. Extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our questions while educating us on all things Hawaiian - he's a great history teacher. Definitely recommend this tour and ask for Cousin Miah.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a meaningful experience at Pearl Harbor and enjoyed exploring Honolulu with Cousin Miah. He truly loves sharing Hawaiian history and culture and will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you for recommending him — we hope to welcome you back to the islands for another unforgettable tour! 🌴✨

Everyone should go!

Michelle_F, Oct 2025
It was a wonderful experience. Makes you appreciate all the sacrifices so many people gave for us to have the life we enjoy now. We can never forget the brave people who came before us and we thank them every day. Highly recommend this!!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

A Memorial & Memory

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful advice—we’re glad you found the experience meaningful.

Anti military

Vincent_C, Aug 2025
Shuttle was over 30 minutes late to pick us up Also would not pick us up at our hotel The driver not a fan of the military based upon his comments Being a veteran I found this especially offensive also not much of a tour more or less dropoff and pickup

Not a tour and they change the reserved time

Leah_A, Aug 2025
The day before the tour, which we had booked weeks in advance, they changed our time to 6:00am without asking. This is not okay since a lot of visitors are island hopping, getting off a cruise, etc. In our case, it was annoying to get 3 kids up and out the hotel and to the meeting point by 6:00am...there is ZERO chance we would have ever booked a tour that met at 6:00am! This was not an actual tour...it is a very expensive taxi/uber ride. Our bus driver dropped us off in a parking lot across from the Memorial, never got off the bus, and we did the rest by ourselves...we did notice that other tour busses, the tour guides got off the bus, walked their guest through, and even took pictures for them. Lastly, while our guide was informative about historic sites and local customs during the ride to/from, a lot of her other comments were highly inappropriate...at one point she mentioned that Covid impacted the islands, which was fine, but then went off on a tangent about how "Covid was a man-made big pharma scam". Then she talked about how the "rich pigs stole/are stealing land from locals". I did not pay to hear this nonsense, at 6:00am, especially in front of my kids. We will not rebook with this company.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that the tour time listed on Viator is 7:00 AM, and their policy notes that pick-up can occur up to an hour prior. We did not change this schedule and followed the instructions provided at booking. We apologize for any inconvenience this early pick-up caused. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the tour experience and content shared by the guide, and we take all guest input seriously as we strive to improve our services.

God bless our soldiers

Julie_V, Jun 2025
Educational. Our tour guide was kind and informative. God bless our fallen heroes. A little pricey- hopefully money goes to support our veterans.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you Julie! aloha!mahalo nui loa for taking the time to leave us a review. we will pass this along to your tour guide and the rest of the family. we hope you have an awesome time in Hawaii. see you next time.

Pearl Harbor and city tour

Lisa_V, Apr 2025
Pearl Harbor was moving. But I would caution people booking through Viator that we did not have tickets to see the site and had to wait in standby line and fortunately everyone on this tour was able to get in at some point even though it was at different times. The operator on the bus was very knowledgeable about the history of Pearl Harbor and gave us a good overview during the city tour.

Response from Host, May 2025

aloha! mahalo nui loa for taking the time to leave us a review. we will pass this along to your tour guide and the rest of the family. we hope you have an awesome time in Hawaii. see you next time.

Process was very disorganized 1 hr late picking us up. Missed time at the memorial. Tour guide was fine but customer service when we called about the late pickup was unprofessional.

Excellent! Highly recommended!!

Aila_W, Apr 2025
Summer was an awesome tour guide! She was patient when we arrived at the pick up a few minutes late and very knowledgeable about the facts of history she shared. We felt safe and well taken care of. Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona was a moving experience overall. We also enjoyed the tour of downtown Honolulu, seeing the palace and the statue of King Kamehameha I. Great tour! Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Aloha! Mahalos for leaving your review. We will pass this along to Summer and the family. Have an awesome vacation.

Michael_H, Mar 2025
The tour was great, driver was very knowledgeably with the Arizona Memorial and surrounds of Hawaii History.

Linda_K, Jan 2025
The Memorial is a very emotional experience. Our tour driver, Snyder, was very informative and entertaining on our drive through Honolulu. Loved the stop for Portuguese donuts!!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Snyder will be happy to know that his informative and entertaining drive made the tour even better. We’re also glad you enjoyed the stop for Portuguese donuts! We hope to welcome you again soon!

Nice tour

zzc8qm9hcx, Dec 2024
Picked up on time. There was a snafu about tickets but we did get to see the Arizona Memorial. Schneider was friendly and gave information on the tour.

Highlights of Waikiki

Barbara_C, Dec 2024
Visiting the Arizona was the best part of the tour. Our tour guide was a wealth of information, but often he was difficult to understand. He spoke too fast. Didn't realize he would only drop us off at the entrance to the Park, but he did give us directions to follow once inside. Driving through the Punch Bowl was interesting, but don't know why we couldn't have stopped for a brief moment to take a few pictures. If you only want to go to Pearl Harbor (it is free), go on line and book a time. It will cost you $1.00. Don't just show up, you might be disappointed. Only a set amount of visitors are allowed in each day.

The driver Arial was very good, lots of information and timely. Pearl Harbor and city tour was just the right amount of time for each.👍

Pearl harbor & city tour

Raymond_J, Oct 2024
Trip to the USS Arizona is most moving experience. The Museum& USS Bowfin @ submarine museum are all well done. Logistics how ever can cause major change in trip start times. The US Navy runs the ship to the memorial, and harbor movements may change the times the ship shuttles can run. Our 8am am changed to a 6am pick up. The city tour is very short & a few sites are visited. Our driver kept all well informed and kept to the time schedule. A must tour if visiting Honolulu!!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

We appreciate your feedback on this tour. Thanks for your review.

Don't change booking time without consent.

Shelina_H, Sep 2024
For the money we paid, it was very expensive. Tour guide left us at the bus and you are on your own. Moreover I booked the tour for 9 am and Viator changed to 6 am without my consent. I tried to cancel but no refund. I missed 6 am yoga class. However, Bus driver was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Aloha, Thanks for leaving us a review. The price we set for this 5 hour tour is quite consistent with other tour providers. We changed you from the 9am booking to the earlier tour because there we no other bookings on the 9am. We can't run a tour unless we meet the minimum number. Your group was our only 9am booking. If this warrants a 1 star then I'm not sure why but such is life. All we wanted to do was to provide you with a tour that was confirmed. Thank you

Would recommend this tour

Nicholas_C, Jun 2024
Had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was amazing. He did a wonderful job. Was very informative. Kept us interested in the whole tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Mahalo Nui! Please come visit us soon!

Waste if money - do it yourself

jonathan_o, May 2024
You 100% don’t need a tour to do this. Was basically a shuttle where the driver gave some history on the way. The city tour is nothing if the sort. Terrible value for money despite the driver being a nice guy it didn’t stop it feeling like a scam. Everything we did could have been done very easily alone and also we only saw parts that weee free and told to pay for anything else we wanted

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Jonathan for touring with us and leaving us a review. We don't appreciate you refering to it as a scam. If you'd like to talk you have our number. You received everything advertised yes!?

Pearl Harbor and City Tour

Theresa_C, May 2024
Our guide was Kanoe, we appreciated her knowledge and passion about the history and events regarding Pearl Harbor. Also, the history of Hawaii and its nobility.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Theresa, We appreciate you!

The result of war.

Alok_J, Apr 2024
A very moving and educational experience. Shows what happens when nations decide their territorial claims are of greater value than others' rights over their own.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha, Thank you for touring with us and leaving us a review. True, it is very moving, educational and emotional. We hope to have you tour with us to see the USS Missouri next time.

A memorable experience

Cindiana_K, Apr 2024
Pearl Harbor was on our bucket list so this was an experience to remember. Kanoe was amazing! Funny, smart, and so authentic! Well worth the $.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha, We appreciate your review. Hope to see you again. Thanks

A great way to orientate your stay in Honolulu.

Lon_M, Apr 2024
Pearl Harbor was such a highlight and historical setting with so much meaning . First time to Honolulu, I’m glad we chose to do this tour first .

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha, We appreciate you touring with us and the review. Thank you!

Pearl Harbor tour

Jarrod_B, Mar 2024
Great trip Anthony our tour guide was great. Every American should see the Memorial and the museum. Very beautiful and surreal standing on the Arizona memorial.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha Jarrod, Thank you for touring with us and leaving a review!

Arizona memorial tour

Scott_K, Mar 2024
The Arizona Memorial and visitor center which is really the only place I've visited. The directions to follow during the tour were complicated. The bus picked me up at my hotel, approximately two hours prior to the reservation at the Arizona memorial, which did not give me an opportunity to have breakfast prior to the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, but very difficult to understand with a very strong accent. This is a tour that you make what you wish out of it.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha, We appreciate your honest review and we'll continue to try an improve. Mahalo

Don't believe anything promised or said by Viator

Anthony_R, Jan 2024
Came into town on Carnival Cruise. Told them the ship wasn't to arrive until 9am. Was told by email that driver would be on pier to pick up at 9-9:30 of which driver decided on day of pickup to arrive at 7am. Ship wasn't even there. Asked of refund and was refused. Asked Viator why would I book an excursion TWO HOURS BEFORE ship was to arrive, and basically was ghosted on reply. Said I should have contacted driver who sent a phone message and text (we are at sea with no cell service) and should have responded. Driver ended up leaving with NO MESSAGE that he left. He arrived at port at 7am to empty dock, why arrive when I told them ship wasn't expected until 9am?? Company doesn't care about customers, only $$$!!! I have numerous emails asking about pickup time and also stating the ships time, and was told "not to worry, driver will wait".
