5.00Aimee was the BEST. The tour ended up just being my friend and I, and she catered to our interests, answered our questions, and laughed all day with us. It was so enjoyable, 10/10.

5.00Aimée-Linh was our guide. She was very informative about the tour. The tour in general was super scenic and we saw some great spots. Cycling along the river and through peace park was great. The island was really worth seeing and she made the whole trip really fun.
Fantastic Tour

5.00We did this tour with Aimee Linh and she was fantastic. We went first to Miyajima and later to the Hiroshima memorial which I think it was a the best itinerary. She was informative and funny and unlike many tour guides she was with us all the time, explaining the sites to us and giving us time to take some pictures. She gave us a thorough tour, answered all our questions and shared some curiosities about Japan and its people. Lunch was included in a nice ramen place as well as train and ferry tickets. All in all very good value for money! Totally recommend, best way to explore Hiroshima and Miyajima.
Insightful, friendly and fun!

5.00James gave five of us an absolutely brilliant day out in Hiroshima. He lead us on cycle to a station, for a train/ferry journey to Miyajima. On landing, we were taken on a journey around the main settlement and through the Shrines on foot, with James displaying his keen, in-depth knowledge on the local cultures and beliefs. We had plenty of opportunities to stop to sample the local cuisine or browse the shops, with our host being able to answer pretty much any question we'd have for him. After that, we took the ferry back and stopped for a traditional Hiroshima-style ramen lunch before catching the train back to the bikes to continue. We cycled to Hiroshima Castle where he again gave us fantastic insight into the castle's history, before scootling through the streets and around Hiroshima Peace Park, James stopping to show us some fascinating locations and giving us a wonderful talk on each spot and momunent. James was - as we'd unanimously put it - a top lad. He was courteous, amicable and a wealth of information. I'd highly recommend the tour, even if like us you haven't picked up a bicycle for years! He was very kind when I'd slipped the bike chain twice and he had to wait for me! Definitely recommend it if you're in Hiroshima for a day or two!
Highly recommend it!
