Must see with your own guide!

This is a very extensive tour with a wonderful guide (Rio) who knew how to navigate the crowds and make things easy. She also knew some places and information that felt like many others would miss. She also found a way to accommodate our special requests. Exceptional tour that I would highly recommend.

Miyajima Tour

I had an amazing experience touring Miyajima. Rio our tour guide was flexible and made adjustments as needed. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience easy and fun. I would highly recommend using a tour guide for Miyajima. The amount of knowledge she had made the trip much better. The smaller group size also made it feel more personalized. 10/10

Pleasant day out

An enjoyable day with a small group of only 6. Hiro was a good tour guide with good English and explained everything very well. Even though it says half day tour, if you are staying in Hiroshima allow for a full day.
