Very knowledgeable guide....

Very knowledgeable guide. Ran late picking us up by 15 min. Not being familiar with Honolulu Airport perhaps the guide could have assured us time wise upon departure from Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor Battleship Tour

I was very happy with this tour and Junior was our guide; he was very nice and knowledgeable. I highly suggest this tour, especially if you’re looking to see the highlights but still gain valuable insight.

Pearl Habour Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri Tour

What a great tour to see the ships final resting places in Hawaii. Our driver Jorge was just the whipping cream to top the pumpkin pie. Jorge was an immigrant to Hawaii himself, but he has obviously engrossed himself in all the local history and current affairs around the island of Oahu. Without him this tour might not have been so valuable. Thank you Jorge!!

Wow!

Leena was awesome! She super chill and laid back and knows how to work! She knows how to be on time and knows how to wow us. She knows how to communicate too. She's good at her job! She deserves to be a good leader or higher position.
