Great Day! - We had a great tour with our friendly and informative tour guide Lanny! The tour allowed us to see the major sights of Hiroshima while allowing us to gain knowledge of each location from our amazing guide while also having some personal time to take in the views. The lunch was delicious and catered for vegetarians as well! Definitely an enjoyable tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to spend a day in Hiroshima seeing the Atomic Bomb sights and Hiroshima’s famous shrines!

A truly wonderful tour - Hiromi was an absolut darling - she explained everything very detailed, she made an effort to bring us closer to the Japanese culture. I very much enjoyed the visit to the Hiroshima Memorial Museum, as devastating as it was, the lunch (Okonomiyaki) was delicious and the visit to Miyajima truly a highlight. I'm very thankful to Hiromi for being so patient with us and so kind, especially since there were some rude and inconsiderate people in our group.

Great day with Hiromi - We had a great day on this tour, everything ran smoothly, and Hiromi our guide was very knowledgable and friendly. We not only learnt about Hiroshima and Miyajima but also Hiromi gave us other interesting Japanese information along the way. We went for the option including lunch and really enjoyed the okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style), we’ll need to get back to Osaka and try Osaka style for comparison. One point to note is the floating Torii Gate is currently being renovated and is covered up. This didn’t spoil the tour for us by any means but we weren’t told in advance (we knew because we’d seen a review elsewhere).

Engaging host! - Lanny was a pleasure to listen to, with a plethora of information about not only points of interest during the tour but Japan as a whole. Funny with up-to-date jokes, and prompt. Thanks for having us!

Awful tour guide - Canadian guy - This was the most expensive tour we did in japan but the tour guide ruined it for us. We also did a tour of Tokyo with this company and had the best day ever due to the tour guide Yoshi. He was the best!! I really think our tour guide on the trip is in the wrong job. He was very snappy with other people in the group. When we got to Hiroshima he made japan sound like the mother Teresa of World War Two which unfortunately was not the truth. Obviously the atomic bomb was awful and to see how the country has changed and become such an amazing peaceful country is an inspiration to us all. We then went to miyajima island where he acted all surprised to see the shrine under construction - “it wasn’t under construction when I visited last week” even though I’d seen this on Instagram weeks previously. He told us all to be back at 4.10. We followed him up to some nice shrines there but he didn’t explain much! We got back to the meeting point at 4.05 and went to the loo quickly - when we walked out to the meeting point we saw people from our group running for the ferry so we followed but they closed the gate on us at 4.09. Our tour guide shouted at us and said I told you to be back at 4.10. We explained it was 4.10 and he didn’t state we had to be on the 4.10 ferry or even in the ferry port he told us to meet outside. He snapped back at us that he would now have to wait for the next ferry with us and others from our group. Honestly he behaved like a teenager having a tantrum and wouldn’t look at us and huffed a lot. We assumed the next ferry mustn’t be for hours judging by the way he reacted so when it turned up less then 10 mins later we were totally miffed. Our tour guide took off and got on the ferry. When we got back to the rest of the group he explained to everyone that due to us and the other 10 members of the group being late that everyone would miss their connecting trains at the station - it was again how a stroppy teenager would act. We thought he might apologise when we got off the bus for how he spoke to us but he didn’t even make eye contact with us. He is an absolute disgrace. If he gets to read this he’ll be happy to know we made our train :) haha Also if you are going to continue your tour guiding job here’s a tip if you want people to be on the 4.10 ferry tell them to be back at 4pm. People get lost or lose track of time or need the loo. From The two very polite English girls Who’s day you ruined!
