Peace Museum and Miyajima with Marin

5.00Our tour guide Marin is the best tour guide I have had on Viator - ever. I highly recommend this tour not just because of her but also the visit to the Peace Museum and Miyajima. Thank you Marin. Great job today
Excellent two part trip

5.00Our guide Marin was excellent throughout the trip explaining things along the way clearly and taking time to speak to everyone individually as the day went on. First half was Hiroshima, something we owe to experience, and second part was Myajima island. There was a lunch option which sounded good but we opted to have street food instead - plenty oysters, octopus and lemon beer along the main street. The shrine and temple were interesting to see, and make sure to go to the temple at the end as there are awesome statues to see, and a pitch black tunnel under the temple to go through to focus on yourself which was unique. Highly recommend!

5.00Excellent tour! Rino was truly the best guide, she was patient, kind, and super funny, with so much knowledge as a local to Hiroshima and Japan! The tour was perfectly paced with plenty of time to explore museums, cultural spots, and time to eat with mixed personal and group time. So much fun, especially for a solo traveler!
