5.00Rio Oka handled the group so very well with a very large crowd and ensured that the group is there at every stop Kira san was very helpful and the driver Tomaka san ensured that we were safe and on time The trip with Shinkansen Bus and Ferry went very well with pouring rain the whole day Hiroshima Peace Centre was packed beyond capacity and Rio didn’t take us through the group reservation then it would be impossible to be out in a short time Miyajima trip was so beautiful and serene Okinomiya Lunch for vegetarian was not good as they didn’t have any other vegetables other than cabbage and they served the ones which was already cooked

2.00The idea of going to both Hiroshima and Miyajima on this tour sounded wonderful. In reality it was disappointing. The museum was absurd because they have no crowd control and you have to wait for hours to enter and are rushed through because the itinerary of the tour. In addition there were too many people on our tour for the tour guide to manage. People got lost and we were rushed through to stay on time with the schedule. The tour guide was overwhelmed and darting from place to place. It would be better to have a concierge organize the day and transportation and do it on your own. Of course a day where it is not raining would be ideal but it doable even in the rain.
Informative visit with beautiful locations

4.00Long day with the travel but Hiroshima was certainly worth it. The museum is very interesting and being at the site is sobering. Lunch was authentic and tasty. The trip over to Miyajima brief but picturesque and the island itself is beautiful. Well balanced day overall.
Impactful tour

5.00Very thought provoking. Worth the time and money. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tour has a lot of moving parts, with the trains and buses. Started off as a bit of logistical nightmare but our guide saw it through to the end and personally ensured everything got straightened out for us. Top notch service.
Very worthwile day trip

5.00So we were on the fence about this trip, but the travel vendor makes it easy. It was very well organized. The Gide was excellent and it was very well informed. The first part is a very hard, solem subject, but the transition to a local speciality for lunch and the island was very uplifting. Great day!
Wonderful Guide
