Fun experience! - My wife and I enjoyed the Pearl Harbor USS Arizona / city tour. The experience was great, we were able to immerse ourselves in Hawaiian history as well as US history. Big shout out to our driver Lani! She was very sweet, funny and knowledgeable. The bus we rode in was very comfortable as well. If you are able to join a tour with Lani as your driver you are in for a treat. Thank You!

Pearl Harbor tour - This tour was amazing. Our host/driver Emel Smith was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The USS Arizona Memorial was very moving and somber. The tour of the USS Missouri was amazing as well. The graveyard and city tour were great as well. I'd highly recommend this tour. If you're lucky you'll get Emel as your host.
