Awesome tour! Shin was very insightful. - The bike tour was wonderful and especially thanks to our tour guide shin who shared his personal experiences and stories from his parents and grandparents who experienced the bombing first-hand. This is a must do tour if you want a comprehensive insight into the Hiroshima bombing. In hindsight I would have loved to have done a longer tour and learned more from shin whose jovial personality has a lot to offer.

A tour that will dramatically improve the resolution of Hiroshima - I was really drawn in by the stories of the locals, which gave me a real sense of what it was like back then. Even though I lived in Hiroshima for eight years, there were many things I didn't know, and it made me love Hiroshima even more. What were people's lives like when the atomic bomb exploded? What was it like after it fell? How did those people get back on their feet after that? I was able to understand these things thanks to the stories I heard. Cycling was also great, as I was able to feel the atmosphere of the city!

We loved this tour - We learned so much from Moe’s knowledge and insights about the bombing and the city, many more facts than can be gained just from just a visit to the museum. She was a delighted guide and we could not have asked for more from this tour

Best way to explore Hiroshima. - Great tour with lots of background information that we can highly recommend. We had an extremely friendly and courteous guide who was able to answer all of our questions. Seeing the island of Hiroshima by bike is great. Thanks for the great morning, Bella!

A tour recommended for anyone visiting Hiroshima or with a connection to Hiroshima. - We were guided around each spot, listening to the story of how the city of Hiroshima was born, experienced the atomic bomb, and was rebuilt to its present state. The stories were so captivating that I felt as if I was there at the time. I don't think you can have this experience by simply receiving an explanation or introduction to the spots. We also shared many other little tidbits about Hiroshima, so this tour is recommended for tourists as well as people who live in Hiroshima. I'm sure you'll love Hiroshima even more after the guide finishes.

Must-do in Hiroshima - Our bike tour through Hiroshima was most of all emotionally touching. Moe not only showed us the tragic but also the hopeful and inspirational side of Hiroshima and there was more than one moment where we had tears in our eyes. We went to the Peace Museum before (which is also an absolute recommendation) but this tour connects the story to the city and it was a one-of-a-kind experience. Totally recommend and Moe is a darling :)

A perfect morning - We really enjoyed our cycling tour, led by Shin. We started our ride visiting Mitaki-dera Temple - I will always remember the serenity and beauty of the property. Then we cycled more in Hiroshima proper, where Shin shared his family's experience with the A-bomb, and showed us Peace Park and the A-bomb dome. A highlight of the morning was hearing his stories passed along from his grandparents. We also stopped to enjoy a delicious lunch of okonomiyaki, a local favorite. Overall, it was a perfect morning in Hiroshima.
