5.00I had a great time on the bike tour with Alex!!! The bike was good and the directions were clear. We saw so much and Alex did a wonderful job of explaining things, making it really fun! He speaks and understands English fluently so he can answer your questions not just repeat a script he's learned. We had a great lunch! The best one I've had so far, and it was delivered to the table by a robot! We also wandered all over the island and even pet the deer! I highly recommend Alex tour!!!
Great and informative tour

5.00We had a very enjoyable day and the guide Ishan had very good English and an extensive knowledge of the history of Hiroshima. There is not a lot of bike riding and we would have liked to do more however otherwise a well organised tour with a great lunch.

5.00Great way to see the Peace Park area of Hiroshima and Miyajima shrine. Our guide Alex was excellent and timed our visit to Miyajima so that we saw the Tori gate at high tide. Cycling around Hiroshima was a great way to see many of the sites and hear the history. Would highly recommend!

5.00Our guide, Aimee Linh was amazing. We booked late, 2 days before our tour. It was Jan 2, 2026 and the weather was cold and sunny and then later in the day it snowed, it was fantastic. Aimee toured us through the city by bike eventually catching a subway train to the ferry to catch a boat to Miyajima Island. Aimee's knowledge of the island and Buddhism gave us a much greater indepth knowledge of what we were seeing and experiencing. She showed us parts of the Island that you would never find wandering around on your own. We then took the ferry boat back to Hiroshima and continued our bike tour through the Peace park and visited several monuments. Aimee was so knowledgeable and made the tour a life experience that my wife and I will never forget. Thanks again Aimee!
A must-do experience in Hiroshima.

5.00This tour was without question one of the highlights of our time in Japan and a real must-do if you’re visiting Hiroshima. Our guide, Awais, was absolutely outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire day. The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us time to truly take in the significance of Hiroshima’s history while also enjoying the beauty of Miyajima. Visiting key sites such as the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, and other monuments was deeply moving, and Awais shared the history with great sensitivity, insight, and clarity. He was also excellent at the practical details — clear communication beforehand, making sure everyone was comfortable, and ensuring the day ran smoothly from start to finish. Nothing felt rushed, and questions were always welcomed. This was a fascinating, respectful, and genuinely memorable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Hiroshima.
Amazing tour
