Pearl Harbor tour, a very humbling experience. - We had such a wonderful time with Austin on the Pearl Harbor tour. He was very pleasant and so full of knowledge of the island. We toured the sites where the original Hawaii 5 O series was filmed, the famous statue and the palace. And of course the Arizona Memorial. Thank you Austin for adding so much to our trip to Hawaii.

Sobering visit to Pearl Harbor. - Brought to mind my experience during 9/11 attack. I was able to feel the emotion the men, women and children must have felt with the news of the great loss of life, shock and horror of the event and the fear for the future in a world filled with war and uncertainty. So grateful we are not in a great world war today. Grateful for the women and men serving in our military. May God bless them all. ‘Am I worth dying for today’ will be in my mind as it was in Eleanor Roosevelt’s mind from this day forward. Thank you Christine with Daniel’s tours for encouraging the meaningful conversation among our 5 tour participants from around the world. particoanys

Highly recommended - We were able to spend the tour with Nazia. Nazia really made a lot of effort and was very nice. She even answered our children's constantly curious questions with a lot of patience. We recommend Nazia to everyone. The tour was informative and very well explained. Lg

Title is misleading - The drivers were very nice but the “small group tour” title is misleading. You are paying for transportation to and from Pearl Harbor. They drop you off and pick you up from there. You do the tour on your own. The Hawaiian history tour is not much better. It was cool to see the palace but you don’t go inside. You seen from parking lots. Not what I expected - nor what others on the tour expected- when we signed up. But again, the drivers were very nice.
