Hiroshima / Miyajima Full-day Private Tour with Government Licensed Guide

We had a very good day well spent with Tom.He was very informative and we would reccomend his personalized tour to anybody.

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. There were however unexpected costs that we had to cover that was not mentioned.

We had a great time with Tom who is very tentative, caring guide. Thank you Tom. Will definitely recommend this tour and Tom particularly to my friends and families when they visit Japan.

YAMASAKI San came with Plan A (by taxi) and Plan B (by public transport). For the almost 7 hours, he described the sights, sounds, history of Miyajima and Atomic Peace Park. Every minute was filled with wonders. His English is excellent. I have been to Japan many many times and he is the best guide. 👍👍👍👍👍

We felt we made the most of our day in Hiroshima visiting Miyojima and the Peace Park with Tom as a very knowledgeable guide with very good English. He fitted in very well with pace and needs, told us a lot about local traditions and way of life and we found him a delightful person.

We had a really fantastisk Day in Hiroshima. Our guide was outstanding, and she walked us around in a relaxed way. She had a High knowledge and could read our wishes etc. At that One Day we had an impression for life - thank you Best regards Karin & Niels Chr., Denmark

We just finished our Tour last week. I feel bad because the guide was very nice but acted more as a chaperone to tell what boat to get on than provide knowledge and information about Hiroshima and Miyajima. This is not what we had in mind when we say private tour. I never write reviews,  but this time I had to. -Our guide could not understand everything we were saying - He did not provide many details of what we saw, and in fact was quiet most of the time. - I asked him to explain the history of Hiroshima, and he could not. My husband had to tell our children. We could have just read the signage that was provided next to the sights to get the amount of information we received. You get a private guide so they can make an impact and provide an interesting time. I feel bad, but I just couldn’t wait for it to be over. I tried very hard to get him to engage us, but in the end- it was a flop. We want our money back for sure. On top of everything, as in other tours- they mention cost up front so that we have enough cash to get through the tour- nothing was said. We had no idea we were going to spend $77 to get on a boat. Never was ever discussed - it was assumed we could afford it. Book another! Not worth it. I also called and email the travel agency and I have not heard back!

We had an amazing tour guide, Yuko, who made the day enjoyable and informative. We spent time at the Peace Memorial Museum, which is very impactful. Yuko provided great insight into the recovery of Hiroshima. We highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed this tour, our guide Miyuki was very nice and told us everything there is to know. We chose to visit Hiroshima Castle, Miyajima Island and the peace museum and atomic dome. Please bear in mind that the torii gate on Miyajima island is under construction at the moment, so the gate is not really visible, but the shrine itself is interesting and worth to see as well, especially during high tide. Miyuki was a great guide who told us many stories about life in Hiroshima and Japan in general, and she was prepared for anything, we can completely recommend this tour!

We had a great day with our guide Yuko. She spoke great English and we saw all the highlights of Hiroshima. She told us to a “local” restaurant and we had an excellent local lunch speciality. Excellent food and excellent day! Thanks Yuko for making our visit so special.
