Reviews
Rino is a cheerful guide who keeps close tab on time, ensuring punctuality. she also helps guests to take good photos and is always smiling. The okinominya provided for lunch at Miyakayi isn’t very nice to eat. But the oysters two shops away recommended by Rino were delicious. Maybe more choices of lunch can be given.
Fantastic tour and Marin as tour guide. knowledgeable and helpful and very friendly. thought provoking and informative tour of Hiroshima and then fun and entertaining tour of miyajima. highly recommend
had a very nice experience and was perfectly planned and timed. our guide Marin was very helpful and patient with us since we had a senior citizen. she helped to explained the history pretty well and kept us engaged during the tour. very cheerful tour guide
Rino was great!! A very dynamic and fun guide 😁 The museum visit is very overwhelming because the place is very small and you can't properly observe the photo and object exhibit on the upper floor. They should have a lower capacity of people at a time so it can be appreciated. The rest of the tour was very good.
We had a great day exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima. Our guide Marin was very knowledgeable, friendly and always happy. Even though the Hiroshima part of the tour was a little solemn, it was an eye opening experience. I would recommend this tour.
highly recommend this experience! the tour guide, Marin-san spoke English fluently and was able to address questions from the group comfortably. pacing was good and relaxing. Marin-san was also able to manage the transition of the mood from the Memorial to Miyajima very well. no awkwardness there!
Rino was one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of spending the day with. She was knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations for food, shopping, and photo spots. I would recommend everyone who comes to Hiroshima to take this tour.
First of all. Mo is the best guide ever! Never once i felt bored but learned a lot along the way. Plus she is very fluent in English. Mo just set a high expectation to the other tour i will join soon.
great way to see the highlights of Hiroshima and Miyajima. our tour guide Rino was amazing! def recommend taking the tour with the hiroshima style okonomiyaki lunch, takes the work out of picking what to eat and it was delicious
Amazing Day in Hiroshima & Miyajima with Momiji! We had an incredible one-day tour through Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with our guide, Momiji. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and had a great sense of humour that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Momiji shared so many insights and stories about each place - details we never would have discovered on our own. The day was thoughtfully planned, with plenty of time to explore at a relaxed pace, take in culturally significant sites, and enjoy some amazing local food. This tour exceeded our expectations, and we’d absolutely do it again. We’ll definitely be looking to this company for future excursions. Highly recommend! 🌟
