A great 4 hour half day tour of Hiroshima - A fantastic 4 hour tour of Hiroshima. We started at Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum which was very interesting and then to the castle and on to the Japanese Gardens which were absolutely beautiful. The cherry blossoms were just coming out and the gardens are stunning

Hiroshima Peace Park walking tour - We had a wonderful time with our guide Monori. Very considerate and understanding after we were late due to Immigration having an IT breakdown. Monori was very informative and had pictures and information sheets to explain points of interest. She helped us in every way and at the end of the tour took us to a restaurant that served a local soul food of Okonomiyaki which was delicious 😋 I'd highly recommend this short tour and especially our guide. Thanks very much Minori.

Only 4 hours, so... - Only 4 hours, so difficult to get around more than two important areas at s pace which is sensible . Use of taxis maximised time at sites. Guide really helpful , particularly in use of ipad pictures and narrative

Perfectly balanced tour - Tomoe gave us an excellent tour. The bomb monument & associated areas were treated with great respect whilst giving us lots of factual information. The rest of the tour was varied & interesting. Tomoe has a great sense of humour that we enjoyed very much, nothing was too much trouble,

Fantastic, highly recommend! - Wonderful tour, highly recommend! Yuko is an amazing tour guide with deep knowledge about her city and its history and roots. We feel lucky that we were able to meet Yuko and learn about Hiroshima from her. You must do this tour when you visit Hiroshima to really begin to understand the city.

Hiroshima History - Yuko was a wonderful tour guide. She communicated everything ahead of time that we needed to know. She was on time meeting us at our hotel. She took us to the Peace Park, the Hiroshima Castle, the Atomic Dome and the Peace Museum. She gave us a lot of information so we think the tour was definitely worth it. She spoke perfect English. I would definitely book with her again.

Wonderful tour with Yuji - We had a wonderful time with a charming guide that went out of his way to make our tour as comfortable and as informative as possible. Yuji is a real gentleman and made us feel very welcome. He designed the tour around what we wanted to see and never pushed us along.

Incredible start to exploring Japan - Wow! We had the absolute best time exploring the city of Hiroshima with To. He graciously answered our millions of questions about the history of Hiroshima, and was beyond generous with his time. To went so far as to walk us to a sushi restaurant and help us make sure I could eat there safely with my shellfish allergy. We wish he could join us on the rest of our trip through Japan! 10/10 would recommend doing this walking tour, 10000/10 would recommend having To as your guide.
