Mai's tour of Hiroshima was absolutely stellar! She was remarkably knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire tour. We visited a few fascinating historical sites, and when we made a last minute change of plans and asked her to come with us to the museum, she kindly agreed - and what a great decision it was to take her with us! She explained minute details that we never would have known on our own (that weren't on the plaques!) and told us many moving stories to explain everything we were looking at. She made our day in Hiroshima the best day of our trip so far. Mai is absolutely fantastic, and we would highly recommend her to other families!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Looking back, I still cherish the day we spent together. I'm so glad I could help make your trip special. I hope to see your lovely family again someday! Mai
