A wonderful experience! - We went on a full day tour with IHSAN and it was wonderful! He showed us so many beautiful and historically significant places and had such an incredible depth of knowledge. We were able to see and learn so much about this city from someone who has a clear passion for not only the history but also the people. We would absolutely recommend getting a tour with IHSAN!

A wonderful day trip - Who would want to get around Hiroshima without a bike on such a hot day? It was perfect, thank you Awaiz for making yourself available onshort notice. Father and sons enjoyed it thoroughly, including the speeding back from station - always before the traffic lights turned red again ;-)
