We're happy that we booked this tour for 05/24/2024. Gilbert, our guide was very friendly, energetic and cheerful! He managed the group and time well. He also took pictures and taught us the good angles for the pictures. There was a photographer on this tour too who was patient and got great pictures of us. Thank you!

I've always wanted to visit Hiroshima, so I had high expectations toward this trip and I'm glad it delivered. Our tour guide was really great(the one in the picture)! She'd been informative throughout the day, and she shared stuff not only about Hiroshima, but also about Japan in general. She gave us plenty of time to explore both the museum and the island. This is one of the best trips I've had so far. ☺️

It's not a bad idea to spend a day. The weather was nice and I couldn't see Mt. Fuji, but I was very satisfied.

Miyajima was the highlight of this tour. It was great to be able to eat at the restaurants there. Make sure to try the oysters. The Peace Museum was a solemn and stirring ending to this tour.

I booked this tour for my first day in Japan. I was a bit nervous as this is my first time in Japan. I am very grateful to have had Kaz to be my guide and show us around. He was very kind and made sure we were comfortable during our whole trip. He also took pictures for us if we asked. Unfortunately, Mt Fuji was very shy and only appeared once. Please bear that you might not see Mt Fuji during this trip. The trip was still very beautiful and fun. During the end of our trip, Kaz also made sure we knew how to get home and recommended food places for us. Thank you Kaz for giving us a great first day in Japan!
