This last minute day tour was a great idea! Our tour guide, Tomo, was so sweet!! We learned a lot of history plus some Japanese words and culture. We had clear directions, meet up times and locations, plus free time to roam and take pictures. Tomo checked in with us as well as the other groups throughout the tour to make sure we were alright. She was very thoughtful and attentive—truly like a friend. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I had a great time on the tour. Tomo did an awesome job. She was very friendly and sweet and provided good information on the things that we saw. She made good use of pictures and visual aids which is rare but extremely useful on tours. I'd be happy to book with Tomo again in new areas!

An excellent day tour of Miyajima and Hiroshima! Well balanced combination of structure and options/free time. Rino is a highly skilled tour guide - both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Her thoughtfulness in offering to take photos of everyone was a gift. As a senior traveling solo, I also appreciated her personal concern for my comfort. Great day!
