The Navy and Rangers were wonderful! Some of the people visiting were being disrespectful and the Ranger explained to them that it's a grave site. The Ranger was very nice about explaining. I wouldn't have been. This is a lot of walking but we'll worth it.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a good job of giving us information. We had plenty of time at the USS Arizona memorial. The city tour was good, but a little hard to see everything from the bus.

Follow the directions of the booking. Do not bring bags with you. US Navy does not allow them on-premises. You will have to store them for a fee.

The tour was good and the tour guide was even better! It was a bit long but overall great day.

It was a very nice tour. Tour bus was on-time, and bus driver was friendly and funny,
