Reviews
I recently went on this tour with Amigo Tours and had an excellent experience overall. Our guide, Angeles, was fantastic — extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and able to explain everything clearly in both Spanish and English. Our first stop was Miyajima, famous for its oysters and iconic torii gate. I enjoyed exploring the quieter hiking trails, waterfalls, and ancient stone relics before heading back to the shopping area for local pastries and beer. I wanted to try the ropeway tram, but the wait was too long for our schedule. Next was Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Peace Park. Unfortunately, heavy traffic reduced our time there, so I had to move through the museum quickly. Even so, it was an incredibly moving and worthwhile experience. Overall, I highly recommend this tour, especially with Angeles as your guide!

The best tour we've had so far! Our guide, Angeles, was incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. She speaks both English and Spanish fluently and took us to wonderful places like the Floating Torii Gate on Miyajima Island and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park! Absolutely recommended!!!
we had a fantastic time on this tour to see Miyajima Island and Hiroshima. Astrid our guide shared lots of great information about everything to make us appreciate everything more. Both Astrid and Ito-san our driver were very friendly and cheerful. Highly recommended and enjoyable.
Our guide Cesar and driver Katsuke made sure our trip went smoothly. We had a good amount of time in each place, and no need to rush. Would highly reccomend, especially for a trip to Hiroshima for a more informative experience!
We had such a wonderful time on this Hiroshima & Miyajima tour! Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and the guide made the whole experience meaningful and engaging. Visiting the Peace Memorial Park was emotional and eye-opening, and Miyajima was absolutely stunning — the famous floating torii gate looked even more beautiful in person. The itinerary felt relaxed but complete, and the transfers were comfortable and efficient. Overall, a memorable and enriching day that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hiroshima.
Alex and our driver Oe were absolutely phenomenal. amazing information, very warm and friendly and accommodating to all our needs. we were a group of 5 with 3 Deaf ladies and 2 interpreters and Alex always made sure the interpreters were ready and information was accessible to our group. highly highly recommend. best tour ever. so emotional and sad but necessary education. loved it thank you.
it was an amazing day! Cesar was a great tour guide and the tour was in Spanish and English which he balanced very well. We started with the ferry to Miyajima. He knew it would be very busy when we got there because it was a holiday Monday so he told us a lot about the Island on the bus to the ferry. once we did a bit of a tour of the Osland there was free time to explore. Then the ferry back and to Peace Memorial Park. it was a great day. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Our guide was Astrid from Amigo Tours. She was wonderful. She did a fantasitic job providing information in Spanish and English. Her explanations for the different sites were very informative. Listen to her. Sit on the right side of the ferry. You won't be disappointed. We are extremely happy we took this tour. Cathy & Harry
I can't remember the name of our guide from the day but she was from Chile and did a fantatic job of switching between Spanish and English all day for the tour group, whilst also speaking fluent Japanese when required for getting us all around. She must have been mentally shattered by the end of the day. She had good knowledge of the history of both Hiroshima and the bombing as well as the history of Miyajima. If you wish to spend more time looking around either Memorial Park or Miyajima I recommend staying extra day or two in Hiroshima or even a night out on Miyajima island itself. A great day out and worth the money.
