5.00This is one of the best tours we've taken and it was led by the best tour guide we've ever had--Momiji--who handled the atomic bomb sites with great sensitivity. (Not an easy tour to lead, to be sure). Her presentation was informative and powerful. She was also very fun to be with and very friendly. Miyajima was lovely way to end the day.
Thank you for your wonderful trip to Hiroshima!

5.00It has been a very fulfilling trip. It was a tour for foreigners, but Momiji-san, the attendant, took the time to guide and explain in Japanese after English. It was a trip that made me feel so good about Hiroshima that I wanted to go there again. Thank you very much.
