Awesome and then some! - This was a great tour for the slightly higher level WWII enthusiast. We even got a tour of Honolulu sites and some facts about the wildlife as well. There is always more to see, but this covered the major items. Thanks, Robert!

Not much time at Pearl Harbor - We were able to get out to the memorial very quickly after arriving to Pearl Harbor. We didn’t have much time after that to look around at the other things there though (about 30 minutes). Our driver, Robert, was very nice and helpful, but difficult to hear when he was talking on the shuttle. They don’t use microphones, so if you are sitting toward the back it’s hard to hear.
