Guide was excellent. Trip very interesting & humbling.
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide Ken was funny and knowledgeable, and he made our adventure special. I would highly recommend this tour, and I would suggest requesting Ken!!
Excellent tour with interesting commentary throughout the driven part by our host/driver, Chelsie. A destination well worth visiting due to its museum exhibits and a well produced film, although the central core of it, being the boat trip across to the USS Arizona memorial sat directly above its wreck, was possibly the least interesting part of the tour.
The trip was great it was very informative. Our driver/tour guide MO was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took good care of us.
Mo was awesome and very knowledgeable. The one complain I have was no time or stop at Waikiki Beach and it's history. No picture time to this such important part of Waikiki culture.
K Aloha was a wonderful guide! For a first time visitor I would definitely recommend her and the experience!
On time great driver and perfect time to go at 10:30 Great knowledgeable driver who pointed out everything and made the trip pleasurable. Snacks and water hit the spot,
Very nice bus and great tour driver. Good at time and scheduling.
Lee was excellent. He is native to Hawaii and had lots of interesting information. He was very knowledgeable about all of the sights. Especially Pearl Harbor. We had plenty of time to visit the memorial and pay respects to those who lost their lives defending our freedom. Thank you Polynesian Tours!!
Was the perfect amount of time . Our bus driver Frank was a great driver and narrator. He was a wealth of information.
