A beautiful day in Hiroshima - This tour gives you an overview of what hapen in hiroshima during the war, and the amoint of distruction the Nuk-bom caused. It also takes you to a land where you will see beautiful dears "similar to Nara" and a unique shrine. Off-course these type of trips depends on yoir tour guide in explaining and detailing what happens. Our Tourguide "Kensuke Ohguchi" was one of the best tour guide i had, well knowledged, super friendly and kind, and took rally good care of us. And one of the things I mostly enjoyed about this trip is the culture exchange I had with Kensuke between my country and japan I highly recommend this trip

Great day out - This was an excellent tour. Great value for money. Our guide Ken was superb and really added to the day with his personality. Nothing was too much trouble, and his love of his home city was clear.

Ken was a real friend and great guide - Ken is the best tour guide! A local who speaks English conversationally. Very knowledgeable and hard working. The first part is a heartfelt and deeply touching tour of Hiroshima's A-bomb sites. The second part, Miyajima island, is an unforgettable experience with nature, history, fortune telling, and excellent food. Ken goes above and beyond for you. Definitely recommend.

Terrific Day - We had an amazing day. The smaller group of 8 was very nice. Our guide, Ken, spoke very good English. He was knowledgeable about the History and the area.

Excellent way to see tourist highlights. - Ken was a great guide, though a bit soft-spoken. For our group of seven people, he was able to walk us around peace Park at our own pace. Answered many questions for us. He knows the rail system well, and guided (herded!) us to the ferry to Miyajimi Island. The ferry was fast! Saw the shrine and tori gate in the water. A good day, even though it was long and hot. Ken went the extra mile by helping us buy Shinkansin rail tickets at Hiroshima rail station to return to Tokyo!

Memorable Tour - Our tour guide Yuma was awesome! She was very informative about the locations we visited, gave us enough time to explore and even had a binder of additional info and photos to show us. She is very nice and kind. She got to know me and my daughter and the other family in our tour. I highly recommend her.

Aleksander - The trip with Aleksander was great. We saw popular places in Hiroshima and the guide told the history of the city in an interesting way. We saw beautiful temples and a pagoda in Miyajima and tried delicious food. The trip was great, I recommend it 100 percent :)

A great day in Hiroshima - Definitely a great value tour, with all major sites included and a nice mix of walking, tram, ferry and train. The guide was exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. As someone who does a lot of tours, I would certainly recommend this one.

Overpriced and poor transport options - Tour locations very good - just travel process very poor and tour very expensive for the experience. Boat to Miyajima was public ferry that was 2 trains away from Museum. Smaller cruise boats depart from just near museum - would have been a much better experience. It would have let us have a longer time at the museum and still got to Miyajima quicker.
