Traveler Reviews
It was a very nice day with many impressions. Baseer was a friendly, nice, and helpful guide. He explained a lot about the individual stops. I highly recommend the excursion.
Dulis was a great guide. We had expected a Japanese local guide but Dulis had lived in the area for a few years and was able to provide good local knowledge. She was intelligent, well spoken, and a joy to spend the day with. The tour was fantastic and each half was very different. We were taken to the best spots for photos and sightseeing while skipping the long tourist lines at other places. Seeing the key areas in Hiroshima was both a somber and fascinating experience. We are very glad we did this tour. One thing to note - there is a lot of walking and some stairs to climb so be prepared for that. There is a long trip on a local train which does give you time to rest in the middle of the tour, assuming there are seats available.
This was by far the best of our 4 tours in Japan, Our guide Ally, was faultless. Her communication in the lead up to the tour was great, and on the day, she was incredibly knowledgeable, considerate and generous with her time. Highly recommend!
Fantastic day with Ali our fantastic guide. Many thanks for making it memorable
A big thank you to Ally!! She showed us Hiroshima and Miyajima with a big smile and a lot of information. She was extremely attentive and super cheerful. Honestly, a huge thank you!!!!
FANTASTIC tour with Alijon. He was very knowledgeable and engaged with all members of the family. By far one of the best tour guys.
A very knowledgeable guide about the history and the monuments. Very professional.
Miyajima Island was beautiful. Absolutely the best temple we visited in Japan. Shah, our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was accompanied by his wife who paired off nicely with my traveling companion. We asked for a good lunch of local okonomiyaki. Shah recommended a good local restaurant and waited for us to eat. This, by agreement, limited our time in Hiroshima. We still saw the highlights of the bomb area but we needed to finish by 16:00 to catch our return trip to Osaka.
Amazing tour guide and a very thought provoking day at Hiroshima
Ally was an excellent guide, she really educated us about Hiroshima and Miyajima. This tour had two very different experiences in one day. Miyajima was beautiful and was about the temple and shrine. Hiroshima, although a sobering experience, is a must see to understand the history of WW2 and the impact of the atomic bomb.
