Fantastic - Rio was the most amazing guide, she knew all the little places to go that other tourists wouldn’t. The history and knowledge Rio brought with her made the experience so valuable I felt so lucky to have her as my guide. Rio wasn’t just a guide she made the experience personal and special I would recommend this tour to all 😊

Great day in Miyajima - Excellent tour with Hiko! They were very few tourists on a damp July day bur it was for the best. It felt like I had the whole area for me alone. Hiko was really nice and accommodating. We had a lovely lunch together. The highlight was the Buddhist temple. Lots of stair bur it's worth it! I highly recommend this tour

Great tour with Kaz - It was a super hot day, but Kaz kept us fresh as he showed us Miyajima. The tour started 9.30am - finished around 3pm, so we were able to see the floating Tori gates both in water and also at low tide which was super fab! A lovely set lunch was also provided and a refreshment as the day got hot. Worth every penny and a busy but yet relaxing day! Highly recommend this tour!
