Midway Experience Highly Recommended - The walking tour on the waterfront was very informative and up close and personal with the activities going on there. The actual tour of the Midway was amazing and well worth every minute. It really got into the lives of the crew of the ship and what it took to run the ship. Recommended for all ages (except for very young and infirm). There is some climbing of steep stairs to get around the bowels of the ship, but our group in their 70s and 80s did manage it and were glad they did. An excellent experience!

Nice walk around the waterfront. - We were planning to go to the USS Midway and thought this tour would give us extra information about the area. The guide was very nice. Most of the information provided was available on the monuments we observed. Some of the information was incomplete or inaccurate.
