Wonderful way to explore Hiroshima - I did this tour with a group of friends on our second day in Hiroshima and we all had a great time! Zipping along the river in Hiroshima on a bicycle is truly a highlight of my trip to Japan! Our instructor Matthew was lovely and shared lots of interesting information about the city and its history. Recommended!

Must Do Tour - Three weeks in Japan and this was one of the best things we did.
Aiden was our guide, He's extremely knowledgeable on Hiroshima history, and is clearly passionate about his work. He had so much information and stories to share with us, and safely guided us around the busy streets.
He was able to give us further recommendations on places to visit while we were in Hiroshima (including an Okonomiyaki place we went to two nights in a row - it was so good!) and visiting the Peace Memorial Museum after the tour gave us a greater appreciation.
Thanks heaps Aiden!

Very happy biking. - Really enjoyed the knowledge and insights provided by Levi. The bicycling was easy, (I had not ridden for years) and such a great way to see Hiroshima, really enjoyed the little garden he took us to. Levi is a thoughtful host, even offering to stop so that I could enjoy a Sakura in full bloom.

Cycling around history - Being on a bike you will feel like a tourist but with that being said it is an amazing way to see Hiroshima. Our guide gave us a great rundown of all the historical sites in Hiroshima. I would recommend this to someone who is only in Hiroshima for the day or on your first day in the city as you will cover a lot of ground

This is a great way to see Hiroshima. - We loved it all. Our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable. He also was a very nice person. We met lots of nice people and our guide safely manuevered us through the throngs of people safely and easily. Both my husband and were so happy we made the trip to Hiroshima. It meant a lot to us to see it and experience it through the stops that our guide took us to. We also loved seeing the Hiroshima of today. What a beautiful city. I highly recommend going in this bike tour.
