“Our driver/guide was entertaining, informative, and an excellent driver. Pearl Harbor is a sobering reminder of the terrible cost in lives of war. The only short coming of this tour was Viator guaranteed us a “private” tour with just us and our friends. Instead, we were greeted by a bus with 55 other people. When we contacted Viator and their subsequent call to the tour operator, the only response was “sorry”. No credit or accommodation from Viator because they said they only make the web site and reservation. Buyer beware. Viator is the company that dealt with the tour operator and, in my opinion, they are responsible for correcting any…”

Our driver added absolutely nothing to this experience except get us from point a to point b. When we arrived to it the military people explained everything even answered my kids questions and gave my youngest son a Navel Badge. That meant everything to me. Definitely go, but go on your own.”

As of January 9, 2026 we still have not received a refund nor has anyone answered any of my emails or phone calls. I would think twice before booking anything through Viator. Nancy LaMorgese”
