5.00We did the full day (7-8 hours) tour with James. We only had 1 full day in Hiroshima and we’re happy we booked this biketour. Now we saw the most important things in Hiroshima and got a lot of information from James. We really enjoyed the tour. James gave us a lot of information along with some restaurant tips and tips for our further journey in Japan. He was really nice and helpfull. Would really recommend!

5.00We had a fantastic tour exploring the history of Hiroshima and focusing on the atomic bomb. Awais was an incredible tour guide and we were amazed at his depth of knowledge and the way he organised the tour - definitely ask for him if you’re booking on. He was able to make adjustments based on what we’re interested in and picked a great place for lunch that we wouldn’t have found otherwise as it’s off the tourist route. Thank you Awais for a great last day in Japan - well worth it!
Amazing tour

5.00We had a super amazing tour guide Aimée!! She was such a nice woman and very fun to talk to☺️. We unfortunately had quite a weird man in the group that made me and my friend (being 2 19-year old girls travelling alone) quite uncomfortable with certain actions but Aimee spotted it also right away and made us very comfortable and was looking out for us the whole time and still made the tour very enjoyable nonetheless! She had such a fun way of talking and gave us lots of great information about the things on the island and about Hiroshima and what happened.I would definitely recommend😊.
Fabulous day out

5.00We had such a great day. Our guide Melissa was absolutely lovely. It was great to get to know her, and her personal connection to Hiroshima made it extra special. She really brought the experience to life for us and had excellent knowledge of the history of Miyajima and the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. We really enjoyed our day and it will remain with us as a great memory Thankyou Melissa

5.00We had a great day. I recommend this tour if you’re looking for something alternative to a coach tour. We really enjoyed it. Miyu was flexible & friendly.
Thanks to Aimée and Patrick for an amazing day.

5.00Aimée and the 2 of us had an amazing day! Well, at least we did, not sure about Aimée ;-) We have been in Japan for over 2 weeks and this was easily the best tour we have done. We visited a lot of different and unique sites and learned a lot about the history and people of Hiroshima. We highly recommend this tour to others if you are mobile and willing to bike/walk and learn about the culture of this beautiful and historically significant city. Thanks Aimée and Patrick (Patrick kept our bikes in top shape for the day)
Very, very nice

5.00It was great with Aimee, bike, boat tour, train, food, hiking, seen a lot, heard and also had a lot of fun. Highly recommended to go on the road with her, her rich knowledge brings her incredibly fascinating with a very pleasant dose of humor.
