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

5.00What am amazing tour! I ended up being the only one on the tour and Aimee was able to taylor the tour to my preferences. We ended up exploring Miyajima more and I got some great photo opportunities and tips to improve my photos! Afterwards got a history lesson on the Peace Memorial park to finish up the tour. One of the top highlights of my trip.
A persolised and worthwhile experience.

5.00Even though no bikes were involved due to rain, we still enjoyed this tour. Awain is very knowledgeable and adapts to individual needs. We visited places we would never have known to visit. I had walking issues and he adapted my tour to make sure I could sit wherever possible. It's well worth it, to get away from the crowds and get a more personalised tour.
Lots of information and a comfortable and fun trip to accompany you

5.00If you want to go to Hiroshima and learn a lot, this is the appropriate tour. James (the guide) has a lot of knowledge of the area and its history, and even if you don’t get it out of him it’s a torrent from the start. It also allows you to chat casually with all the members (himself included) of the tour, so they end up becoming friends. It’s great, even if the rain can be a little uncomfortable at this time of year.
Memorable way to explore Hiroshima

5.00Thank you for an incredible day Aimee-Linh. We loved exploring Miyajima Island and the temples and shrines. Aimee’s knowledge of the history of Hiroshima, the castle, the A bomb dome and the peace memorial park were all highlights of our day. We can’t thank Amiee enough for her banter, her fun and for making our time in Hiroshima so memorable.
Perfect balance in Hiroshima

Highly recommend this tour with Awais.
