Georgia was Fabulous guide for this excursion. Kind, funny, informative, very knowledgeable of hawian culture. Highly recommend

IanrJones10

I took this tour with my 14 year old son. Efficient and well run tour, and our driver, Georgia, was great. Convenient pick ups and drop offs in Waikiki.

jamesmP7777GX

A great deal of history on this tour! Pearl Harbor is a must for all history buffs and Americans who had someone involved in WW2. Certainly bookends the war with having the USS Missouri there! A better (more versed in military verbiage and understanding) tour guide would have made this a 5-star tour for sure. Highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I took our first Hawaiian cruise in December and had the absolute pleasure of taking the Stars and Stripes tour with Georgia as our tour guide. While we both enjoyed visiting Pearl Harbor and the Battleship Missouri, Georgia was the highlight of the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the island and the sites we viewed along the way to our destination(s). Once we arrived she gave good instructions as to how we needed to proceed in order to make the most of our visits to Pearl Harbor and the Battleship Missouri. What stands out the most for me was Georgia's warm personality, the patience she showed with "not so cooperative passengers" and the extra attention she gave to senior passengers who needed just a little more help/time. Overall, the tour was great and Georgia was the best! Highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Elaine was extremely knowledgeble and helpful. Pick up times at the hotels were pretty prompt considering traffic. The tour bus was a smaller bus than the 50 seater used for the Oahu Island Tour but comfortable and plenty of room nonetheless. The 5 or so steps into the bus were a little steeper than those of the 50 seater but handrails were available on both sides for support. We visited all items as per the itinerary booked. While the tour was very interesting, I felt our time at the Visitors Centre at Pearl Harbour could have been longer. I didn't get time to see all exhibitions and was very conscious of time. The tour around the city was very interesting .. all areas covered though by the City Trolley lines as an fyi... All in all a great day, if a little rushed. Shout out to Elaine who made the experience all the more fun with her knowledge, banter and friendly demeanor.

Great tour, our bus driver Cousin Dave was amazing. Lots of knowledge and very informative information. Loved a laugh also and was just a great bloke

CandaceB_Indy

Our guide was Cousin Lisa and not only did she give us a great tour of Pearl Harbor she was a wonderful ambassador for the people of Hawaii. She was kind and very attentive to her passengers. She gave us a bunch of fun facts about life in Hawaii for the average person and some of the traditions. Undaunted by a terrible freeway backup, she took an alternate route and continued pointing out things of interest on the way. Once at Pearl Harbor she made sure we knew where to go and was very clear about where we would find her afterwards. One of our biggest challenges in Hawaii was the vague way directions are given. Be sure to ask for specifics on pickups. If it is at an ABC store, what is the street address? (There is an ABC general store on every corner! ) Calling them to confirm your pickup the day before was helpful for us. Our guide really added to our appreciation of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii.

The bus driver, cousin Chase was very knowledgeable and humorous at the same time. I only wish we could have stayed just a little bit longer at Pearl Harbor . There was not quite enough time to see and read all the exhibits. Otherwise, a very good tour.
