Our excellent guide Dulis explained many things to us during the tour of the Parco della Pace, the memorial, and the museum. She is a wonderful girl, and we learned a lot. I am truly grateful to have met Dulis and I recommend this tour.
Our guide Ali was amazing. Super friendly and kind, he explained everything in great detail and even shared extra knowledge about the war and the making of an atomic bomb. A very sensitive person who brings a careful and welcoming perspective to everything that involves what happened in Hiroshima. I would recommend this tour without hesitation.
Shain was an incredible tour guide! He had lots of great information about the area and knowledge that helped us enjoy the best areas around Miyajima from kayak! We saw the floating Torii Gate, jumping fish, puffer fish, and stingrays! It was a highlight of our trip! Thank you
Shah was an excellent guide. His knowledge of not only the history but also the culture greatly enriched our experience. He was very kind, personable, and generous with both his time and expertise. 100% recommended!
Ally was an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and was able to hold our family’s interest. We learned so much from Ally and had a wonderful tour. She’s a gem!
This was a deeply moving tour around the Atomic Bomb sites. Our guide Ally was very informative and answered all our questions. Being such a beautiful day as we walked around added to the great experience.
Ally was exceptional as a guide. Insightful, factual and shared a wonderful perspective to our multitude of questions. Highly recommend.
Awais was very thorough and gave us a great tour of the Hiroshima Peace Park. He took us around each exhibit and shared information that was helpful when toured the Peace Memorial Museum on our own. He gave us the highlights so we were able to short-cut and go the critical exhibits and navigate our way through the crowd. The company also cleraly communicated with me about luggage storage facility in the museum. Awais gave us suggestions for our Miyajima trip and we were able to see the flame on top of Mt. Misen.
Our guide Ali, was very knowledgeable, informative and interesting. He allowed us plenty of time to look at all exhibits in the museum and even though it was busy he never tried to rush us and answered all of our questions. He even sent us a message to make sure we made it safely back to the hotel after the tour.
Diego took us around the peace memorial and it was a very moving experience. He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information but in a sensitive way that left enough room to get to grips with the sheer horror of the Desaster. He also took us to the museum which was very moving. Being an architect there was the extra bonus of learning something about the buildings by Kenzo. I highly recommend Diego as a guide.
