From beautiful landscapes to grim and moving stories. - The island of Miyajima was so beautiful. The view from the temple on the hill was spectacular!
The visit to the Peace Memorial Park was very emotional. Alan did an excellent job of making sure the group understood the importance of the space we were in.
I definitely recommend this tour to all those who visit Hiroshima.

Amigos tour- made memories and new amigos! - Alan was an amazing tour guide! He knew the history, the significance, the photo-opps, the tricks to beat the crowds, the spots for food and souvenirs, and so much more! The trip to Miyajima and Hiroshima was so moving and memorable. This is a must-see! We dod it as a day trip from Osaka. This experience was a truly beautiful celebration of important Japanese landmarks.

excellent! - he explained things very well both in english and spanish. he could’ve spoken louder since most of the group couldn’t hear sometimes. but overall the tour was great! Alejandro was very knowledgeable of facts about the Miyajima Island and things facts about the A bomb event in Hiroshima.

Convenient Transport, But Lacking in Guided Experience - This tour is a good option if you want the convenience of transport between key sites without having to plan the logistics yourself. However, I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as a “tour” in the traditional sense.
While the itinerary covered important spots, the guiding itself left a bit to be desired. At the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, the guide started explaining things before the full group had arrived and didn’t project their voice enough, making it difficult to follow the information even when standing nearby. It felt a bit rushed and disconnected at times.
Overall, it's fine if you're after ease and efficiency but don’t expect a deeply engaging or informative guided experience.
