We had a great time with our Guide Shiro-San. The ride was funny, very informative and checked all the tourist spots. It was absolutely worth the price and we would like to do this again when we’re back in Miyajima! ありがとうございます、タラ、ドイツから🇩🇪
This was such an amazing experience! Miyajima is walkable, but this tour made the experience of the island a thousand times better. Our guide, Kim, drove us around, told us about the island and Japanese customs, took beautiful photos, and did it all with incredible enthusiasm and humor. Fantastic!
We had an incredible experience with Jose on Miyajima Island. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour very fun and insightful. His storytelling brought the island’s history and culture to life, and he went out of his way to show us hidden spots we would have otherwise missed. The ride itself was comfortable and beautifully scenic. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Miyajima!
We had such a friendly lovely guide who provided more information than we expected. His English was pretty good and when he couldn't describe what he wanted to he used Google translate. We had an amazing experience!
Kyoto was a delight to have as our guide. She was knowledgeable and inciteful and we felt we were in good hands. She's fun, fit and loves her job. We had a great hour ride/tour. Thank you so much!
Had a great time with this young rickshaw guide who did his best to make it interesting (lots of comments to prove it) and enjoyable, with a sense of humor to boot. We'll have a great memory. I highly recommend this route and guide
we had a wonderful time with Kim guiding us around Miyajima with his rickshaw, definitely worth the experience of visiting hidden spots with him around the island. 3 hours have gone flying. it's definitely a must on a miyajima day.
The guide was very friendly and funny, we often smiled at his grimaces or his sayings. We received interesting information at various stops.
Informative tour to the most important tourist highlights by two cheerful and sporty guides. Many thanks Yuma and Takumi
very interesting entertaining and Kim was very friendly it was a great tour
