Very Heartfelt & Informative Tour

5.00This was by far the most informative tour my Husband and I have been on yet. If you’re a person who appreciates history and cultural I would recommend booking this tour. Our tour guide Cesar was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Japan and you can tell he enjoys it. There was so much passion in his words we felt every lesson. The bus we drove on was so big and cozy. The bus driver Oe-San so very friendly and professional. My only recommendation would be to spend more time at Hiroshima and maybe add the castle on the trip. Other than that we have no complaints. If you’re looking for a great tour whose tour guide is patient, funny, knowledgeable and is accommodating to everyone’s walking limitations. Then book with Amigo tours and make sure you get Cesar as your guide.
Somewhat disappointing

3.00Unfortunately at the last minute we were advised that a digital ticket was unavailable for our Bullet Train departure meaning we had the added stress of meeting a representative in front of a random cafe at the Shin-Osaka station prior to departure. We felt that there was a significant imbalance in the scheduling of activities on the day. For reasons unknown we spent 4hrs on Miyajima Island which was seemed excessive and only left 1hr 20mins at the Museum in Hiroshima. Complete waste of time as every other tour company was there at the same time. After lining up to purchase tickets we were then crammed in with hundreds of others leaving us unable to move about freely and unable to see any of the exhibits. So disappointing! Had we known this would be the timing breakdown we would not have undertaken this tour. Whilst the guide was friendly, unfortunately he wasn’t overly informative.
Day Trip to Miyajima Island & Hiroshima

5.00My wife's and I recent trip to Miyajima Island & Hiroshima was very educational and humbling. While in Miyajima we were able to see the iconic Itsukushima Shrine with its floating torii gate. While walking through the Island we were able to experience all sorts of local foods and some fresh oysters. The deer roaming around freely added another level of enjoyment to our experience. Next we visted Hiroshima which include visiting Peace Memorial Park & Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. This tour was very humbling for me as well as eye opening as I really never knew the lasting affect of that Atomic
