Yassy who guided us on this English tour spoke very fluent English, friendly and approachable! She gave us alot of information and brought us to places that we on our own will never visit. She's very patient as well and did not rush us during the journey where we took breaks and chatted about Japanese culture, and she waited for us while we shop. after the trip, she even accompanied us to Genbaku Dome which we didn't know the most convenient way. Along the way, she gave us tips for our onwards journey and we also taught her some Aussie slang. highly recommended tour with Yassy.

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.

The tour was a good value for money! the local guide’s insights made the tour more enriching. There was a good balance of guided moments and free time to go around by yourself. Very convenient for those wanting to see the highlights of Hiroshima in one day.

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!

There were only 2 of us but tour went ahead as plan. Koh was our guide and she did a great job! She was able to converse both in Chinese and English well, and we have a 3rd language hokkien too! She was able to plan the itineary well and we covered everything nicely. We get to see Tori gate during high tide and low tide as well, it was majestic and beautiful. We also hike up Mt Misen, I was huffing and puffing but she waited patiently and was encouraging as well. She is so fit and did not even break a sweat! Thank you Koh for such a wonderful experience and we learnt lots about Hiroshima from you.

Kaori was a great guide! She explained the history of Hiroshima and the shrines. She also took great pictures of us. She was very helpful in exploring the island considering the time we had.
