Hiroshima Peace Memorial Tour - Our guide, Gordon was incredible. He went above and beyond. The tour was amazing; he took us to several places around the peace memorial and was extremely knowledgeable about every place. He was able to answer all of our questions with ease. Even after the tour was over, he took us to one of his favorite spots for lunch and we had a traditional Hiroshima lunch, which was fabulous. He exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend this tour and Gordan to anyone who is traveling to Hiroshima.
