1.00Be warned that the meeting address points to the end of the tour and not the start. This is a walking tour that originates 2KM from the end, the taxi dropped me off in time for the tour checkin, and I realized that there was a great distance to cover and the tour operator was not accommodating to make good on the mistake in their tour listing. I was unable to get to the starting point of the tour before they left and a refund wasn’t granted. I was offered to take the tour another day, but I was only in Hiroshima for the one afternoon.

5.00Excellent!! The best way to see Hiroshima!! The tour takes you around all the hotspots of Hiroshima, giving you a dive into the history. Our tour guide EMI presented it brilliantly, with an insightful yet not too heavy story about the city’s history. EMI also gave us fabulous recommendations for food, activities and sight seeing. We tried one restaurant recommended and it was phenomenal! I would recommend this tour to anyone.
