You should not miss this tour with Den

5.00Den was a fantastic tour guide and Tomo added to the experience. It was a tour that was fun, despite the seriousness and consideration that should be given to each of the different spots that we visited. I learned a lot from Den, she was a wealth of knowledge with a positive disposition. It was the perfect pace at each location.. although I could have spent longer at the peace museum. I would definitely recommend this experience and hope that you are lucky enough to have Den as your tour guide, it would not have been the same without her.
Awesome trip

5.00Great tour! We started at the Hiroshima peace memorial and museum. Next we moved on to Miyajima Island. It was very beautiful. We did not get the lunch option and there were plenty of other places to eat. Deb was our tour guide and she was funny and informative.
