We met Hiroshi right outside the port. He was already there and waiting. A taxi ride later we were in Hiroshima to see the Peace Dome, Museum, Axis of Peace and other local sights. An amazing amount of detail with a file of photos and fantastic knowledge of everything about August 6th, 1945 including family involvement. Hiroshi gave us an amazing tour, including a visit to a hotel coffee shop where the coffee was brewed in almost laboratory equipment, such as glass flasks and burners. Never seen this before, and the coffee was excellent. A great tour full of interesting facts and sights in amazing detail given by an incredibly knowledgeable, friendly guide. The tour ended with Hiroshi returning us to the port where he gave us some gifts to remind us of our tour.

Had the most informative tour of the history of Hiroshima. Our tour guide Yuko was very friendly, kind and interactive that my daughter and I learnt so much. Yuko contacted me days before the tour to ensure I was ok with our meeting location and she was happy to answer any of my questions before arriving. She did ask if I wanted to cover anything specific in the tour but I left the itinerary completely in her hands. She was prompt and ready to collect me as I exited the station on my arrival. Yuko did a fantastic job of covering so much in the time we had and we finished right on time. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with Yuko, she is a superb tour guide. 100% recommended, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for your incredible knowledge Yuko!

I grew up being told by my father all about impact the atom bomb had on so many lives. Our tour guide was Mari who did a great job as our tour guide showing us all the relevant sites. The tour was very interesting,
