Excellent Bike Tour through Hiroshima! - Sage is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide that made our bike tour experience very special! She went above and beyond to show us all the main sites and hidden gems of the city and always took the time to answer all our questions in depth! Would 100% recommend this tour!

A great way to experience Hiroshima and Miyajima in a day - The full day tour with Aimée-Linh was outstanding. I could only spend a day in Hiroshima and am glad to have been paired up with her. Done many walking and bike tours around the world, ranging from NYC, Paris, Amsterdam etc. This one would is the best to date. The content was kept simple but informative. I felt safe riding along even though it’s been a while since I’ve ridden a bike. Aimée-Linh ensured the route was efficient/effective, answered questions, helped take photos and went above and beyond in customer service. She has a heart and it shone through her work in the care taken, making it a fun, jam packed and a memorable visit. Highly recommend a tour with Cycle Hiroshima, and if you’re lucky you might have a similar experience.

Great day - Had a great tour with Ishan. There were 5 of us on the day and as no-one had, sensibly, made plans for after the tour we stayed out until after 6 p.m. as he was very keen to impart as much knowledge at as many sites as possible. Ishan’s knowledge was excellent and he clearly enjoyed his subject and had researched extensively. All in all a great day out with a fantastic guide and a really good group of fellow tourists.

Great experience with Aimée in Miyajima/Hiroshima - Aimée-Linh was a very attentive guide to all our needs. She was very knowledgeable and she took care of having a optimal tour of what we wanted to explore. She was very generous with her help in many fields for our trip to Hiroshima and Japan overall. She brought us to cool spots we may have missed and snapped some great shots of us along the way. We enjoyed our special day in Miyajima and Hiroshima!

Great day in Hiroshima and Miyajima - We spent a whole day cycling and walking with Alex for the Peace Park and Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, saw and learned a lot. Alex guided us through the day without stress. The tour is very varied. Bicycle in Hiroshima, train ride to the ferry, delicious lunch, guided tour to the temple. The great thing was that we didn't look at sights like anonymous tourists. Thanks Alex, who knows the country and people and also just addresses them and was also interested in us. Highly recommended.

Perfect experience - What a great day Aimee was so patient . She communicated location for start and how we can safely navigate a foreign country on a bike. Her knowledge of the sites was exceptional and she made sure transitions from sites was seamless. Highly recommend and if you get Aimee you are in for a great day.

If you only have one full day in Hiroshima - dont miss this tour with Aimée-Linh - We had one thing booked for our time in Horoshima and we were happy it was this Bike Tour around the City and also to Miyajima Island, which we definitely would not have seen all by ourselves. The cycling part is not too much for beginners. It was a nice small group of 8 which was perfect for all the stops. Our guide was Aimée-Linh who made the day, with chatty funny wit, not to mention all the facts and knowledge along the way. We had a chance to be re-born again on the Island which we would not have known about on our own. Stopped for Ice Cream and a wonderful lunch break. Finished off the night after the tour with recomendations from Aimée-Linh to go to a Cultural rock lifting festival which made our time in Hiroshima so special and the best way to finish off the trip. Cannot recommend Aimée-Linh enough to be your guide, hope you are as lucky to get her as we were.

A nice trip partly by bike, partly on foot! - Nice trip, partly by bike, partly on foot. Alex, the guide (in English) was particularly good and friendly in accompanying us and explaining facts and curiosities related to Hiroshima (in the morning) and Miyajima (in the afternoon).
