We could not give this tour a higher rating! We had the best tour guide who was so professional, knowledgeable, Comfortable & helped to make this the best day. There were 6 adults on our tour…. And I think our only comment was afterward besides “Wow!!! “ was that we all wished it had gone on longer. We boarded back on our ship, and sadly had the rest of the afternoon and evening left over just sitting in port and wished we could have continued our tour longer with David B. That opportunity was not offered to us.. …… but I’d highly recommend you request it!

David blew our expectations out of the water with this tour. He was always very timely with communication with us before our tour. We could not believe how knowledgable David is with the Island and Pearl Harbor. His vehicle was impeccable and he had snacks and drinks for us. David, thank you so much for making our time with you amazing and unforgettable! Will not hesitate to tour with you again! Mahalo!!!

Highly recommend! David took a group of 6 ranging in age from 13-77 and everyone enjoyed the tour. From the pick up in the limo to the interesting stories and trivia, the tour was great from beginning to end.

David was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met him, his warmth and friendliness set the tone for our entire Hawaiian vacation. He wasn’t just a driver — he was a historian, a tour guide, a local connection, and even our personal photographer. He made sure we didn’t just see the island — we experienced it. David knew the history behind every site we visited from Kualoa Ranch to the Hawaiian Palace, Pearl Harbor (his knowledge of WWII was amazing), and the Dole Plantation. Everywhere we went, he had insights, stories, and even personal connections that made our visits truly special. He seemed to know everyone on the island, and he used those relationships to make sure we got the best experience possible. Without David, we honestly wouldn’t have seen or experienced half of what we did. Our trip was unforgettable because of him. David provides a 5 Star experience!

David was truly the best to work with, from arranging a tour, through to the end of the tour. David took 7 of us, including 1 Veteran, to Pearl Harbour. David was very thorough with the information provided and it was obvious that David loves what he does.

Five of us took a limo tour with David to see Historic Honolulu before heading to our much-anticipated visit to Pearl Harbor. The limo was very comfortable and David was an excellent host. He communicated with us through storytelling rather than through a tour guide drone, which we all enjoyed. We skipped lines into Pearl Harbor and David had already arranged for our tickets to the transport boat to USS Arizona, which can be a difficult thing to arrange on your own if you do not do it early enough in the release of tickets by the National Park. David is an excellent, thoughtful guide and made this trip very enjoyable for us. I would definitely book him and his limo on a another tour to see Pearl Harbor, since there is so much more to see than one day will allow!
