Pearl Harbor - Kama was an excellent tour guide. He was very eligible and very friendly. The trip from the center of the city and back from Pearl Harbor was filled with his funny stories and brief history of everything we passed by. I would highly recommend his tour.

Bookends. - Kama (the driver) was prompt and very interesting to listen to. Made an average bus ride into an enjoyable experience. Kind of nice having something upbeat to sandwich a somber visit.
