It is fantastic. Joshua takes you to see so many sites and his knowledge of Hiroshima is great. Highly recommend.
We travelled around the city centre but also out to Mitakiyama temple. It is always good to go beyond the city area. There was only 5 of us including the guide so we could hear everything that was said. Better thsn a bus load of 30+ tourists
Joshua was a great guide, so easy to get around Hiroshima with an E-bike tour especially when its hot season, you can save your energy by using bikes. He was very good guide.
This tour is a highlight of our family holiday! Joshua was very knowledgeable & shared information & stories about the local area. The timing of the tour meant we beat the tour bus crowds at popular locations, which allowed time for peaceful reflection. The uphill venture to Matiko Temple & the waterfalls was amazing & definitely something we would have missed out on if not for this tour & Joshua’s guidance. Highly recommend!!
A pleasant way to spend some time in Hiroshima, temple was amazing highly recommend.
Thanks Will, Glad you came out even with the rain!

We had a great bike tour with Joshua, who was full of information and took us to all the famous spots and also a beautiful Buddhist temple in a beautiful quiet, tranquil location only a 15 min ride out of Hiroshima. It was a beautiful day and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
Thank you Diane! Glad you thought of Hiroshima during the peak cherry blossom season!
Josh was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the sites of Hisoshima and the temple. We particularly liked the temple visit. It was very peaceful and Josh explained the history and traditions of the temple beautifully.
Thanks a bunch Alan! I enjoyed having you along!
