David gave us an outstanding tour of Pearl Harbor. We had our two kids with us, ages 8 and 12, and keeping them genuinely engaged for five and a half hours at a memorial is not a small thing — he managed it the whole way through, pitching everything at the right level without ever talking down to them. He is deeply knowledgeable, but what set the day apart was his personal connection to the place. It came through in how he told the stories, and it turned what could have been a series of stops into something that actually landed. Our kids came away understanding what happened there, not just having seen it. We covered the Arizona Memorial, the Missouri, and the Bowfin submarine, which was the kids' favorite. Everything was handled seamlessly from the moment he picked us up to dropping us at our ship, including our luggage on an embarkation day. We would book with David again without hesitation.

David is an amazing guide - his stories about real people bring the sites to life. His tours were well thought out and impactful.

David was great. He picked us up in his amazing limo and took us to Pearl Harbor. On the ride there we had a video to prep us for what we were about to see. He acquired all of our tickets and helped to guide us most efficiently through the sites. He also took us through the submarine and submarine museum. David was super sensitive to my son's need to keep going and stay engaged!

David gave a very interesting and informative tour of the Pearl Harbor area. He was very good at informing us about the history of the Pearl Harbor attack. Many facts that we had never heard before. He really knew his history. All six of us would strongly recommend doing his tour.

This is a fantastic tour and David is an incredible tour guide. He is friendly, easy to talk with, very organized, and extremely knowledgeable. Being a US vet, David has a unique perspective on the history of Pearl Harbor and the other memorials. We cannot overstate how much more meaningful our tour was because of David.
