Amazing Tour - Yuko was a delightful and informative guide who kindly met us at our hotel. She was extremely open and allowed us to ask questions and was always very gracious. The tour itself is both beautiful and sad at the same time. We all learnt so much about Hiroshima and came away feeling this has been a true highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour .

Hiroshima tour with Yuko - The experience at Hiroshima was amazing in itself but the stand out of the day was our beautiful tour guide Yuko. Her depth of knowledge and facts about each aspect of the tour blew us aways. We have always been interested in Japanese history and having a local guide us through really made a difference. It was just a bonus we got the most lovely and caring guide available. We will always remember this day as one of the best of the trip thanks to Yuko.

10/10 Recommend This Tour - The tour was absolutely perfect. Our fabulous tour guide Yuko met us right outside the train station (per our request) with a sign with my name on it. It was a seamless link up. Yuko was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and took into account our goals and hopes for the tour when deciding how long to spend at each stop. We learned so much, saw so much, and left feeling very satisfied with the tour. The gardens and castle were lovely; the museum and peace park were very moving. We highly recommend this tour for people who would like to learn more about the tragic yet resilient history of the city of Hiroshima. The tour took approximately 4-4.5 hours, including a mixture of walking, standing, and time on the bus. A sincere thank you to Yuko for her amazing tour!

Great tour and fabulous guide - Yuko was our fabulous guide for the Hiroshima walking tour. Yuko was very informative on Hiroshima history and gave us some local tips to make our journey in Japan easier. Yuko communicated with me as soon as I booked, when she met us at the train station I felt as though I already knew her. Thank you for a great day

Nobu should be your Hiroshima guide! - We cannot recommend Nobu highly enough as our private tour guide!! He was wonderful on every level and even shared his personal experience and perspectives of Hiroshima as a local, which was very touching. He went above and beyond as our guide and even stayed longer with us discussing and explaining further the events that took place during and after the devastating Hiroshima bombing, without any additional charges, which was extremely kind and considerate of him! Our time with Nobu deeply enriched the unique and special experience we received in Hiroshima! Dōmo arigatō gozaimashita!!
