This tour was an excellent way to get an overview of the area in a well-paced and organized manner. The guide was incredibly high-energy, warm, and knowledgeable, going above and beyond with thoughtful details like printouts and post-tour recommendations for lunch and shopping. While it moves quickly, it’s perfect for those who want to cover a lot in a short time, with the flexibility to revisit sites like the Atomic Bomb Dome or the epicenter afterward. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that delivered exactly what I was looking for.
