Thomas is a very good guide, with lots of history knowledge and his passion for Hiroshima history comes through.
Thanks! Thomas's passion for Hiroshima's history really does come through. We appreciate the kind words!
We had just an amazing day with our very informative guide, Cva. It was the right thing to do having a guide instead of just reading the information. Cva knew so much. He was an amazing guide. It was such a sombering event and we need to ensure something like this does not happen again. Highly recommend!
Thank you for this reflection. We're honored Cva could provide that personal connection and depth that goes beyond just reading information. His insight into such a significant moment in history truly matters. We appreciate you sharing this with us.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to our guide, and we appreciate your recommendation. Your support motivates us to keep providing memorable experiences. We hope to see you again soon!
Martin was very knowledgeable about the history of Hiroshima, leading up to and after that fateful day on August 6th. We visited several monuments where Martin provided an in-depth understanding of the purpose, design, and function of each structure. If you want to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the park and all that it contains, I highly recommend his services.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had a memorable experience during our Hiroshima walking tour. Your satisfaction is our priority, and your feedback encourages our team to keep up the good work.
Thomas was our personal guide through this historic tour. His passion for Hiroshima, its history and culture really impacted us and made this tour extremely memorable. Not only was you knowledgeable about the history, but he’s also a fantastic storyteller. Book this tour last minute and I’m so grateful we did! Thank you Thomas. 💕✌🏻💕
Deeply moving and inspiring. I am still heart-torn about whether the bomb was a blessing or a curse. It stopped the war but destroyed so many innocent lives. War does that, no matter what.
Cva was extremely knowledgeable and gave a great insight into the history and affects of the atomic bomb to past and future generations. Let there be no more Hiroshimas
Amazing experience! Cva is a great Hiroshima guide, he explained everything the way it should! We both understood and learned a lot from Cva, would definitely recommend! 100 points!
