Driver/trip review - Kimoke'o was our driver today and he was very knowledgeable and had a terrific sense of humour. He had us arrive in time to be able to see everything in a relaxed fashion. Those who wanted to go on the Arizona Memorial and did not have tickets were supported and able to go. He and his fellow drivers work well together. Highly recommend this tour group.
