Moe (hope the spelling is right) was a wonderful guide. I especially appreciated the family stories she shared, which made Hiroshima's history feel much more personal and meaningful. While the subject is deeply tragic, I appreciated her positive and thoughtful perspective on peace, resilience, and hope. Thank you, Moe, for such a memorable experience.

Cva was an incredible guide. So passionate and knowledgeable, and provided such important details to help us better understand the trauma of that day. He was patient, kind, and encouraging to our three kids who asked a lot of questions. This tour provides a perspective that I don’t think we get much in the US- highly recommend this for everyone, and especially for American travelers. Cva did a nice job explaining a tragic topic while also striking an uplifting tone about perseverance. Definitely book this tour!

Cva is a very smart and well read guide - exactly what you want from a guide. ... my tip would be "don't mention Oppenheimer" - or do - as it's a great conversational topic for Cva to historically correct for you. My 12 year old was fascinated too - we just came back from Europe (we're Australian) so this was a great round up of her WWII history lessons. I did cry - the mother statue is heart breaking... but this tour is incredibly important to do to understand what happened not so long ago. Lest we forget

Extremely interesting! There were only 8 of us, so it was a small group. Dave was a friendly guide and had plenty of stories to share. We learned an enormous amount about the sights and their history. It definitely adds value to do this with a guide!

The tour was very good. We visited the main sites with well-paced explanations, and the guide, who is from the Philippines, was excellent!!

Very nice and very interesting tour. My two kids of 15 and 13 remained focused during the two hours tour. Thanks to the way the topic was explained to them. The timing of the tour is perfect - two hours allow you to cover the event. The tour guide was very nice, emphatic.

A tour that allowed us to understand the horror of August 6, 1945, to be completed by visiting the museum. A competent guide, but perhaps a little too lenient in this context...
