5.00The experience was well worth it. It was nice being able to see the historic sites of Hiroshima and Miyajima. We spent a good amount of time at each place and the food for lunch was delicious. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I just wish we could've spent a little bit longer at the Hiroshima memorial museum. It was a lot to take in. Overall 5/5
Informative and respectful tour of Hiroshima

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We both found it very profound and meaningful and delivered in a way that was respectful. Our hosts were all very knowledgeable, respectful and gentle in their delivery so a heavy topic was handled very well. We found going to the shrine afterwards helped us reset after being in central Hiroshima. The food was delicious as well and the tour was well paced throughout the day. Excellent value for money.
