Saori gave me the most amazing tour, highlighting the devestating effects the bombing had on the citizens of Hiroshima and the city. She was born in Hiroshima and speaks English fluently. We left early to avoid the crowds. She was able to explain what I was seeing and give the backstory to events. She took me to places that I would not have seen otherwise as they were not part of a regular tour. We also went to shrines, parks, and Hiroshima castle. I highly recommend this tour

Our tour guide Ranma was an awesome tour guide. It was just my husband and myself on the tour so we got to actually get to know Ranma and ask questions. He also helped us locate some spot that we needed to go for the next few visit and had lots of information about our tour of the museum and castle.

This tour was amazing as it included all of the sights that we wanted to see. The museum was very emotional, but at the same time gave us a good feel and understanding of the tragedy.
