The Gguides Toshi and mana were well informed - Hiroshima museum; very touching The place was totally silent with thousands of people walking through it. I saw people getting emotional and wiping their tears. After seeing Oppenheimer it really made me realize what nuclear bombs can do and I agree with “Never again”!!

A Day with Mino - Mino was very punctual. He came a day early to the hotel to make sure he had the right meetup spot. He made my husband laugh the whole time. He made sure we understood transportation expenses thoroughly. He gave us a thoughtful explanation of the Hiroshima peace memorial. He is a very kind man and we are happy to have met him.

Amazing Hiroshima experience with Taka - Our day-long tour with Taka was a marvellous experience. She is a very experienced local Hiroshima guide, so she was able to provide cultural context to all of the sites that we visited. If you choose to take a tour with Taka, you will learn about all the important sites in Hiroshima. She delivers excellent value. Would highly recommend this tour with Taka!

Miyajima Island was amazing! - We had a great time at Hiroshima with Yusaku as our guide. He was very responsive when we were meeting. He definitely went above and beyond to make our tour special. Hiroshima museum was moving to see. Miyajima island was my favorite. It’s definitely worth it to visit. The tour company did mess up our meeting spot. It was not our guide’s fault, but the tour company had a mix up with another group.

Hiroshima and Miyajima Island Tour - Our tour guide was amazing. She knew her history of the places that we toured. We had an elderly person with us, our tour guide did an outstanding job with her in particular. If we were ever there again we would request her if possible. The only thing I would mention that we were told that we would be picked up at the port and the day before we were told that wasn't possible. It was a problem and we had difficulty getting it all worked out. After the confusion, we had to pay more but it was worth it because our tour guide was outstanding!!

Disappointed……. - Our guide was not up to expectation. She is very new and seems to be confused about directions also. Unfortunately, since we have limited time here, we were disappointed with her lack of knowledge and experience.
