We only had a couple of hours to visit Hiroshima. Waleed was effective at presenting the history and interesting side-notes. Wish we could have spent more time there.
Throughout the tour, we found ourself sharing reflections with fellow participants, which further enriched the experience of this tour. We got a deeper understanding of what Hiroshima represents, thanks to this tour and the amazing tour guide.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Japan's rich heritage and the beauty of Kenroku-en gardens. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We'd love to have you join us again for more unforgettable experiences. If you're ready for another adventure, feel free to book your next tour with us anytime!
Kumiko was very obliging, she offered 2 ways to visit the Hiroshima Park either by transport or taxi, which we opted for the taxi, she guided us very well through the museum and then through the gardens and memorials. We then requested afternoon tea, where she took us to a rooftop hotel restaurant where we had panoramic views over Hiroshima city which was spectacular. We then visited the Castle which at that time was closed however we walked around the grounds. Kumiko was very kind and caring, she was a fabulous guide, I would highly recommend her.
Thank you for your detailed and glowing review! We’re so pleased to hear that Kumiko made your visit to Hiroshima special and memorable. It’s wonderful that she was flexible with transportation options and that you enjoyed the museum, gardens, and memorials. We’re also delighted that the rooftop afternoon tea and panoramic views added to your experience, despite the Castle being closed. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Kumiko—she’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback. Thank you for recommending her, and we hope to assist with your future travels!
