The guide wasn't awesome

2.00The tour itself was a good route and covered a lot of the places you'd want to see in Hiroshima. Unfortunately our guide, Nancy, who was very nice, hardly talked through the whole tour. We had to read the signs at the sites for the most part. We didnt really learn anything new beyond what we had read already and had to ask questions ie when was the castle built, what's the history, rather than her telling us this very basic info. While we walked from place to place, it was awkwardly silent. For what we got out of it, we could have went from place to place on our own.
The walk from the Castle...

4.00The walk from the Castle to the Garden Park is really long so I suggest add a sightsee event or stop for a short rest break. Also the Garden Park was a walking tour rather than a sigh tour. I suggest once the tourist enter the garden you end the tour and let the tourist explore the park on their own.
Hiroshima Amazing tour.
