No politics, please.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about island history. However, we did not appreciate the multiple insults of our president. There is a time and place to talk politics. When you are guiding a tour of people on vacation, it is not one of those times.

Excellent tour

Great guide and wonderful experience. The Missouri has a lot of stairs and walking so wear decent footwear. Bring Kleenex. Extra for your mom. You can’t bring bags to Pearl harbour so fill your pockets or just buy see- through plastic bags at the ABC store to store wallet etc.
