Ako is the best! - This tour was outstanding and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. While the WWII museum is very difficult to visit, it is extremely important to complete the tour. Our guide, Ako, was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and went beyond the call of duty to help me recover a personal item I forgot at the museum. I will never forget my experience in Hiroshima and hope to visit again in the future.

Amazing Tour! - We had an amazing tour with Alexander in Hiroshima! He was very knowledgeable friendly and helped us navigate any busy areas with ease. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the key sites of Hiroshima and Miyajama! We loved that it was a smaller group tour as well (max 8) which really allowed us to ask questions and engage with our guide.

Above and Beyond - Ms. Yuka was the best she made the trip so amazing. Also, she was helpful with my issue unfortunately I was thinking I lost my credit card somewhere and then Ms. Yuka called the hotel for me to talk with them for me. After the tour she came with me to help me in checking the bag. She was very considerate to which type of food diet that we can have as a choice. For anyone who is interested to learn more information about the culture and have more interaction with your tour guide Ms. Yuka is the best one. Definitely I will go with her tour in the future. Thank you so much Ms. Yuka for your kindness.
