Reviews of Our Hiroshima Experiences

This 3 hour tour focused on the Peace Park and museum. It was interesting but we could have easily done it on our own. Plenty of available taxis waiting if needed. Our guide was young and very knowledgeable

Highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in history and learning about the Hiroshima bombing from a local. Ken was an amazing tour guide, interesting and interested in learning about what we wanted to learn during our tour. He was a good communicator and well organized. He also shared some local intelligence on eateries and bars in the area. It made our whole visit to Hiroshima worthwhile.
