Our driver Finney was extremely informative (totally unexpected). We were completely educated on Pearl Harbor upon arriving. He was also very punctual, kind and well organized. We arrived on time and we knew exactly what to do, when to do it and what was expected of us as well as what was not acceptable while at the memorial. Hands down I would recommend him to others. GREAT EXPERIENCE.

Fantastic trip. Small group means you can hear everything and short wait times. MC Finny was very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour! Would highly recommend

Pearl Harbor was amazing. My guide was very knowledgeable. Would love to hang out with him over a couple of beers and get all of the history classes he would be willing to give.

The tour guide was on time. He was kind and courteous. During the tour on the way to the Arizona Memorial he pointed out areas of interest like restaurants, shopping and other attractions and landmarks with a short history. When we arrived at the parked he outlined what to do in the park and suggested we go to the standby line for the memorial water shuttle rather than going at our designated time. This gave us extra time to see other informational attractions while in the park after Visiting the memorial and before our departure. It has been 50 years since the last time I visited the memorial. There are new things to see now and the complex has been significantly upgraded. Keep in mind this is not an Disney attraction. There is not much to see at the Arizona Memorial itself other than than 1100+ falling sailors names on the wall, remains of the hull and the oil slick that continues to seep from the boat more than 80 years later. You don't have much time there until the next wave of people comes through. It's simply a grave site, a place for reflection to honor our falling sailors. After our stay in the park our tour guide took us around to the war memorial at the Bowel and other state and government buildings with photo opps and a short history lesson before dropping us back at our hotel. All in all a great value. I would recommend the tour to others that want to do something else for 3-4 hours rather than eating, drinking and baking in the sun at the beach.

Finny was a fantastic driver and guide. I enjoyed hearing about some of the history of Pearl Harbor on our way there. He was full of knowledge and filled with the occasional joke about his driving! Definitely recommend this experience. Pearl Harbor is a must see when visiting here. I learned lots about it and it was rewarding to be able to learn about this history.

Finny was an incredible guide. He was very knowledgeable about the military history and helped share a lot of details that weren't covered by the memorial itself. One of the most notable was the information about the USS Doris Miller, which will be the first aircraft carrier named after an enlisted soldier and an African American.

Very informative. Staff and service personnel were very good at explaining and giving history. Most enjoyable, yet very sad.
