I give this tour a 5 because of our guide, Will. Perhaps I should give it a 4 in that the communication regarding pick up time very confusing!!! Tour time 7 am. Pickup time messages change. "We will get you 6:15-6:30. We're old... Never late.... Call at approximately 6:05. We are here.... Whatever... Will very kind and assures us it's ok. The reason for the 5 star is Will. So enthusiastic, full of historical information... Simply the best. He checked up on us during the tour, went above and beyond. Great day!!!

Awesome! Thank you!
Well organised place with good facilities where you need them. The highlight is the deeply emotional visit to The Arizona where you can feel the lost souls ! Tour was easy paced and enjoyed walking the decks of the mighty Missouri. At the time the Aviation Museum had the exhibit I really wanted to see closed. “Swamp Ghost” So, I guess I have to go back !
