5.00We had a great time spending the day in Miyajima with Yuka. She was very engaging and patient with our 4 kids and added so much context to our visit. I would highly recommend for folks looking for an English speaking guide and new to the Hiroshima area.
Yuka was so a delight and a wonderful guide. 100% recommend :)

5.00Yuka was wonderful - we had our 3 kids in tow who weren't really interested but she managed to keep them entertained as well as mum and dad. We appreciated the guidance, she guided us beautifully through the history and how we honour Hiroshima in the present. I would recommend Yuka if you are in the area for a tour.

5.00Our tour guide Yuka was fantastic in every thing to do with this guided tour at Hiroshima & Miyajima. Her extensive knowledge of the history and the meaningful significance to these places made our tour enriching to learn from a true local!! She really catered to our family needs on this tour, having 3 young children with us! Yuka was great with the kids and even though we met on this tour, it felt like we have been friends for a very long time sharing our experiences. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to know how to travel like a true local, helpful hints along the way and best food recommendations!!
