Unforgettable experience in Hiroshima - We enjoyed Sei company for our Hiroshima tour. He was very organized and detailed oriented. We experienced an unforgettable experience in the Peace Park, the museum and the full environment around. He enthusiastically explained us information from the events in august 1945. We finished our tour strolling a beautiful and relaxing garden nearby.

Incredible experience to see Hiroshima - The tour was a great way to get to see Hiroshima in a day and Riona went above and beyond as a guide! I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering a tour of Hiroshima. This was small and intimate and Riona took us to those things we told her we were interested in seeing. On top of that she was just the warmest person and I wish we had a Riona in every city we visit.

A smooth visit to Hiroshima - We spent a day with our guide, Kay Kondo exploring the Hiroshima area. From the moment we booked our tour, Kay was in touch with us in order to understand our preferences and customize our itinerary. The itinerary was very smooth and Kay provided good context and explanation when required and at some points knew when to give us some space so that we could take it all in such as at the Peace Museum. Would highly recommend this tour.

You won't regret booking with Keiko - Keiko (Kay) was a great guide. Before i even met her, I was able to email with her and customize our upcoming time in Hiroshima. She met us at the Cruise Port and we were off in a taxi she prearranged. Did I mention that her English is excellent? We learned much about the culture and history of Hiroshima because of her knowledge, and because of her language skills. We moved seamlessly around the city at our pace. We did do a lot of walking, but also used a taxi when the heat of the day required it. It was really great having Keiko do all the navigating, ticket buying, and museum sign translating so we could just enjoy being there. Don't hesitate to book her as your guide in Hiroshima.

A special time in Hiroshima - Our guide Hiroko communicated with us extensively prior to the tour. She helped establish a detailed itinerary that met our goals. Meeting Hiroko was a delight. It was hot and humid and she was thoughtful enough to bring water, cold packs, candies and grapes. We had absolutely no communication issues with her as her English is outstanding. Hiroko brought a real local perspective to Hiroshima and helped us really grasp what the city and its people have been through. By the end of the tour, none of us wanted to leave. We had bonded with Hiroko and felt we had made a new dear friend.
