Mai was very knowledgeable kind and accommodating she showed me the most historic parts of Miyajima answered all my questions, was kind, and always had a smile if you need a tour guide ask for Mai Mantani thanks Mai!!
Our guide Yuko Gishi is very kind and took care us during this tour.
This was an amazing tour led by Yuko! She gave us an amazing tour of Miyajima and showed us the must eat foods here. She was very chill and allowed my family and I to take our time 🤗 Definitely will recommend!
Mia, was brilliant, very informative and was able to answer all our questions. Great personalitie putting you at ease. Will highly recommend Mia and this great tour.
Motoko was our guide. She was absouletly amazing and showed us around Miyajima. She explained the history and showed us different statues and proper etiquette. I would reccomend this tour to any english foreginer! All the best - Aaron
Motoko was super knowledgeable and very kind, showed us alot of history about the island!! Would recommend her as a tour guide!
both tour guides have been very gentle to wait us, we were in fact 15 minutes late. they were very friendly and we spent good time together: also the explanations were clear (english). If I may suggest, it would have been nicer to visit the whole island, temples and little trekking included and give less time to eat (visitors and tourists can do it on their own after the tour)
Kiooday was amazing! Very knowledgeable. I have a great time. We visit several hot spots in the island and his guidance to get there was amazing
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a spectacular time in Miyajima with the guide. It’s great to know that you enjoyed visiting several of the island’s highlights and found his guidance helpful and informative throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your kind words about the guide, and we’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to him. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in Hiroshima or elsewhere in Japan!
