Such a personalized tour! Papa P is amazing and makes you feel like family! It was raining ( and even pouring at times) most of the day, but he made the tour interesting and fun. I’d highly, highly recommend this tour company! We also used Aloha for our full-day Pearl Harbor tour.Both of our tour guides had wonderful stories and incredibly friendly.
