“My tour guide Rob was the worst and not nice to me when I would ask him questions about the snorkeling when he would think I’ve been to Hawaii before and how I’m supposed to know the weather and would talk to me as if I’m stupid saying that “oh it’s winter it’s up to you if you want to go in the water or not, you should know it’s winter” yeah obviously it’s winter but Hawai’i weather is different ban where I live. I was just asking if we were snorkeling cuz it’s drizzling? Another thing that I didn’t appreciate was when he dropped us off to our locations…”

“The Trolley tour guide Kimo was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, and we loved that he’s a true local. I give this 4 stars ONLY because we felt like we were very rushed going through the Missouri, and we missed a lot of it because we had to rush back to the shuttle to make our trolley time back to the hotel.”
Comfortable half-day coach tour blending downtown Honolulu sights with the solemn USS Arizona Memorial, plus optional Missouri and Hangar 79 upgrades.
“There was allegedly a systems issue when we arrived which meant that we had to wait in line in the ‘standby’ queue for 2hrs before getting on the boat. The tour guides literally pointed us in the direction of the line and then disappeared. None of the rangers seemed to know anything about the systems issue, so not sure if that’s what happens every day or we were unlucky. We therefore had to rush round the battleship and the aviation museum and didn’t get time for lunch. Not ideal. Our tour guide on the coach was very knowledgeable. Other than the bad start when we arrived it’s definitely a worthwhile…”
