Excellent

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great tour. Our guide, Ken, was very informative and shared much about the culture and history. I would highly recommend.

A beautiful day in Hiroshima

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour gives you an overview of what hapen in hiroshima during the war, and the amoint of distruction the Nuk-bom caused. It also takes you to a land where you will see beautiful dears "similar to Nara" and a unique shrine. Off-course these type of trips depends on yoir tour guide in explaining and detailing what happens. Our Tourguide "Kensuke Ohguchi" was one of the best tour guide i had, well knowledged, super friendly and kind, and took rally good care of us. And one of the things I mostly enjoyed about this trip is the culture exchange I had with Kensuke between my country and japan I highly recommend this trip

Haunting and rewarding

Great day out

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an excellent tour. Great value for money. Our guide Ken was superb and really added to the day with his personality. Nothing was too much trouble, and his love of his home city was clear.

Ken was a real friend and great guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Ken is the best tour guide! A local who speaks English conversationally. Very knowledgeable and hard working. The first part is a heartfelt and deeply touching tour of Hiroshima's A-bomb sites. The second part, Miyajima island, is an unforgettable experience with nature, history, fortune telling, and excellent food. Ken goes above and beyond for you. Definitely recommend.
