We had an excellent tour with Tom. He was an efficient, friendly and organized guide who was very knowledgeable about every place we visited. It was a very hot day and he was thoughtful about including breaks in the shade during our times outside and encouraging us to drink water. He made our experience memorable and enjoyable!

Wonderfully moving experience when visiting Hiroshima that gives you a lot of perspective and moments of reflection regarding the events surrounding the dropping of the atomic bomb. Highly encourage others to experience this. The visit to Miyajima island was a good one despite the rain. A beautiful island worth a visit. Our guide was ok, however at times was hard to understand resulting in us missing information. We had just come off another tour (9 days) where the guide was fantastic and offered up so much information as we traveled around which this guide did not, he only offered the basic information needed which was disappointing. Overall though we are glad we did this experience.
Peace please.

We had a very nice tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and surrounding memorials. Our guide, Hiro, was excellent—knowledgeable, clear, and engaging in how he relayed the historical information. We were part of a large group, and unfortunately, a few participants were often late and delayed the schedule. Despite that, Hiro handled the situation with patience and professionalism, keeping the tour on track and making sure everyone had a meaningful experience. Highly recommended!
Easy way to see Hiroshima and Miyajima Island

Long day, but you get to hit the highlights of the Hiroshima bombing and Miyajima Island. I had not looked into Miyajima before, and was glad it was included. Lunch is also very good.
