Very insightful and emotional

Published on May, 2025

What a fantastic tour. Emi our guide was very knowledgeable, insightful and most importantly emotional when recounting the horror of that day in 1945.She had a fantastic ability when telling the story to adjust the tone. Other than the somber side she was very funny, energetic, happy and positive and undoubtedly the best tour guide we have had in Japan. Thanks Emi !

Fantastic informative tour

Fantastic tour. Amy was incredibly engaging throughout and very informative. Would highly recommend this as an introduction to Hiroshima and its history.

Excellent! not to be missed!

We enjoyed the tour with Amy very much. She was very clear, enthusiastic and personable. Its clear that she has a lot of knowledge that she was willing to share with us. We will definitely recommend this tour, and Amy, to our friends. regards Gal and Rony

Wonderful guide, amazing history lesson!

Published on May, 2025

Oh wow!! Our tour guide was so wonderful! She kept us engaged the entire time, was super knowledgeable and taught us a lot (I had very limited knowledge of the history of Hiroshima to begin with) and you can tell she is so so passionate about this as her job, I was surprised it was a free tour! Definitely prepare to tip as she well deserved it! We went around Hiroshima for 3hrs and she pointed out all the main locations, then afterwards we had time to revisit the Peace Museum which id 100% recommend, this is perfect for families or big groups!!!

Wonderful small group tour

Published on May, 2025

What an exceptional tour. This exceeded what we expect for a 2.5 hour tour. Our guide was wonderful. We learned a lot not only about the event, but about Japanese customs as well. We would have missed a lot if we attempted a self tour. Highly recommended
