Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    If you go to San Fran, you really should take the Ferry to Alcatraz. You'll see pics of the most notorious criminals of the last century including Al Capone. The audio tour is included with the ferry ticket. It's a portable player they issue to all guests and it guides you through the facility

    Firstly, San Francisco is amazing and one of the best US cities. Secondly, that bridge is the prettiest location there, where it is quite cheerful and enjoyable to drive through it, and when it comes to its watching, there are amazing elevated spots to view it in a picturesque sense and to see it inspiring and pretty. Such view spots are noticed clearly on google maps. One final tip is that the drive through the bridge is subjected to electronic tolls.

    The house is grand and interesting. Frankly, I enjoyed the grounds so much more. The landscaping and plants were gorgeous even before they were in full bloom. The trails are easy to walk and extensive. This was the loveliest garden I think I've ever seen. Strongly recommend.

    Just being there brought tears to my eyes, the lives that were lost. The boat ride over the Arizona Memorial was beautiful to see.
    I remember Elvis Presley was instrumental in donating the monies he received from his concert in 1959, to go toward the building of this Memoria.

    My husband and I took a quick weekend trip to Memphis and decided to do a tour of the Sun Studio. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The historic studio has been preserved so well, and we were thankful so much of the original equipment and furnishings were still there. When we stepped into the famous studio where Elvis, Johnny Cash, and B. B. King, recorded amazing music you could feel that creative vibe. Our guide Josh H. did a great job of conveying the history, and stories of the birth of that special sound....Rock and Roll!! Highly recommended for everyone, especially music lovers.

    We had such a beautiful long walk in the charming historic center with its perfect grid of streets intersected by green squares, typical antebellum houses adorned with elaborate iron balconies, elegant mansions with tall windows, magnificent leafy oaks covered with mysteriously looking Spanish moss… Lovely day in gorgeous weather.

    I definitely recommend this tour! I had a guided tour by Zita. She was a great tour guide and I gained a deeper understanding of the Hawaiian culture and history. It was truly a blessing to learn more about Hawaiian history, steps to preserve history through time, significant historical events/figures and the transition of such as resilient people.

    Something for everyone. History, yard games, ice cream, winery with tasting, restaurant and nice gift shop. Could have spend a whole day enjoying all the property has to offer.

    I relearned about the Alamo. When you are young it doesn’t mean much to you but once you age history seems to be much more interesting.

    This visit was worth coming to the USA for. It was both gutting and insightful, explained a lot about the US. An outstanding museum. Visitors should prepare to be moved, wrenched by emotion, and unable to forget. Strongly recommended for everyone, probably most especially US citizens.

    This was my first time visiting DC. I was visiting my son who was recovering from an injury during deployment. We took advantage of this opportunity and explored Arlington Cemetery to honor those who served. What an incredible opportunity to see and honor all who lost their lives and served. I couldn't wait to see JFK resting place and to experience the changing of the guards.

    Well worth the stop especially if you enjoy history. She is a beautiful ship and should be seen by all. My adult sons felt this was their favorite out of all the sights of Pearl Harbor.
