Sights along the way: Gokoku Shrine, A-Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, etc. Tour Guide: The guide was very friendly and professional.

Thomas was a wonderful tour guide. He was very informative and easy to talk to. I would have liked to hear more information about the military base in Hiroshima, but I understand there was a lot to cover! This tour made me even more interested to do my own self-guided study of the city’s history. Thank you, Thomas!

I would one hundred percent recommend taking this tour if it’s your first time in Hiroshima! Kevin, our guide is that guide that everybody would wish for! If you would like to understand how this city became what it is now with all the tragic history behind it book the tour without any hesitation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Emi was informative and enthusiatic. She tied in personal stories and it made it even more memorable.

Thomas was amazing and super genuine with the tour today. I really enjoyed learning more about the history behind all the monuments covered. Thank you Thomas!

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Hiroshima. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and presented the history in a thoughtful, balanced, and respectful way. The tour provided much more context than simply visiting the Peace Memorial Park on my own, helping me understand not only what happened on August 6, 1945, but also the events leading up to it and the city’s remarkable recovery. The pace was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and reflect at each stop. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Hiroshima’s history and the resilience of its people. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hiroshima, whether it’s your first visit or you’re interested in learning more about one of the most significant events in modern history. It’s well worth the time and money.

This tour was absolutely wonderful and made our day in Hiroshima so much richer. It is an absolute must-do tour, our really wonderful guide, Emi gave a passionate, engaging and entertaining tour and worked hard to have a private and unique chat with each group on the tour. I can’t recommend this enough. We didn’t have very long in Hiroshima, and this was the best way we could’ve spent the time.

I'm so glad I booked this tour! Emy is a wonderful guide who balanced great entertainment with incredible sensitivity when covering tough topics. She made sure to connect with everyone in the group and completely gained a fan in me. I can’t recommend this tour enough—the value absolutely exceeded expectations. Seriously.

Katya was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She far exceeded my expectations for this journey, thanks to her gripping narration, deep knowledge of history, and warm personality. Even though it was a somber subject, Katya made it enjoyable to learn about it and process it. I’m so glad I booked this tour, because she pointed out many things I would’ve missed.
