5.00Mickie was wonderful! She clearly communicated our itinerary for the day along with expected prices for every single train and ferry fare along with experience annd museum entrance costs! When we arrived we were at the wrong Starbucks, and she reached out and said she would come to us! Such a ray of sunshine! She set up a fabulous lunch in Mijakawa! We enjoyed our first Hiroshima style Okinomiyaki! Such a great experience! She helped us stay on track so that we could get the most out of the entire day! She went over and above to help us try and lock up a bus ride for the next day to Mt. Fuji area on a super busy weekend! Thanks Mickie for a great tour of Hiroshima.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Hiro on our private Hiroshima and Miyajima tour. We arrived via a cruise ship and Hiro had organized all the details from pickup at the port to reserved ferry times and a lunch reservation, she made it so easy. She started communicating with me a month before our trip and made sure everything was just right. It was a wonderful day, the right mix of touring and casually seeing the sights, she was truly amazing.

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day with our very knowledgeable guide Miyuki. We learned so much fascinating history about Hiroshima and the H bomb and saw a side of the city that only a truly local guide would know. She was so nice and helpful throughout the day. Her knowledge of Miyajima island was especially helpful.
Great Tour, Great Guide

5.00My wife and I had a great tour through Miyajima and Hiroshima, hitting the sights we wanted to see with great information from our guide, Saori. She reached out via WhatsApp in advance to confirm where we wanted to go and expressed any concerns with the timeline and created a plan to make it all work. She also made navigation much easier - a big plus on our first day ever in Japan.

5.00This was a beautiful trip. Toshi was an amazing guide who knew so much about the history of both Hiroshima and Miyajima. The Peace museum was both beautiful and devastating. It is an incredible monument. The Torii gate, shrine and temple on Miyajima were also amazing. We arrived at just the right time where the tide was low and we could go right out to the gate. I highly, highly recommend this tour

Wonderful exploration of Hiroshima

5.00An amazing exploration of Miyajima and the Hiroshima Peace Museum and park. Our guide, Yuka, was a pleasure to spend the day with, and we learnt so much from her. We loved how Yuka contacted us in advance to discuss and plan the itinerary to suit our needs before we arrived. On the day the experience was seamless, including a great restaurant that Yuka pre-booked for our lunch where we were able to eat Okonomiyaki that was cooked in front of us. Yuka also ensured that the restaurant provided a vegetarian option for us. I would strongly recommend this tour to maximise your time in Hiroshima. Thank you so much Yuka - it was a pleasure to meet you and you ensured we had a fantastic day in Hiroshima.
A perfect day
