Big Tony was our guide, an amicable guy, OK. I appreciated the wild history of HI and the mythology. I wish he would have gone deeper. He was concentrating on driving in seriously messed up traffic so it's really hard to give a story while trying to keep us all safe, poor Big Tony!
He was able to help my husband fix his cell phone, that was really nice. He also took great lengths to get a wheelchair on board several times on and off.
We felt our tour was shortened, well, it was - based on Tony needing to circle back from the first trip pick-ups to the final trip pick-ups to get one dude who had fallen through the gap (?) A half hour lost, and then there was another traveller who said she needed to be back by 3:30 and Tony wanted to give us til 3:30 to actually have time to look through the museums and memorials and submarine, and and and....but since we had to circle the start back, and end the tour sooner, we didn't get to go through the museum as we could have.
All in all we were not given the time we needed to see the entire free exhibit, with all the various memorials including the subarmarine memorial and the history "up-to-WW2" memorial museum.
30 minutes would have been enough for us to see the entire thing, but two special pasengers stole our time parameters.
Go to Pearl Harbor and learn about what your grandparents endured/survived/died in.
I observed children who are not aware of the nature of this place and felt overwhelmed with the situation, not by the history.
