A great choice if you want a good guide! - Alex was brilliant. We packed so much in to one day. Not only did we see the main sights in Hiroshima and on Miajima Island but Alex took us off the beaten track away from other tourists to get a real flavour of the area. Alex's English was excellent making communication extremely easy and his knowledge and understanding of the area and its history was great. Nothing was too much trouble. He was very considerate throughout the day. I can't recommend Alex highly enough.

Unforgettable Day in Hiroshima – Thanks to Alex! - What a beautiful and moving day! The tour was well organized, but what truly made it special was our guide, Alex. He was incredibly friendly, knew alot of inside information, and shared everything with so much passion and respect for the history. In Hiroshima, he struck the perfect balance between informative and personal, and on Miyajima, he even showed us some quieter, hidden spots away from the crowds. We ended the day at the Hiroshima peace mermorial park, where we went to a small but very interesting museum, not many people know about. Even after the tour, he came by in the evening just to introduce us to his family and say a proper goodbye! Heel erg bedankt, Alex, voor de geweldige tour en voor het onvergetelijk maken van ons bezoek aan Hiroshima!

We had the opportunity to visit several hidden gems outside of the Peace Memorial Park—places we never would have discovered on our own without a guide. Alex’s knowledge went beyond just World War II history; he also shared fascinating insights about Japan’s culture and traditions. Since this was a private tour, we had the flexibility to customize the experience, deciding what to see and when to take breaks for meals or restroom stops. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
