    Our guide Alex was great!...

    stephen, Mar 2026
    Our guide Alex was great! He communicated with me well in advance of the tour date and throughout. He met us right at the train station and walked us from there. Also - he was flexible / accommodating with our schedule and interests. Hiroshima experience was better than I thought it would be. Peace Park and the museum are top notch! We learned a lot!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you, really appreciate it. Glad to hear Hiroshima exceeded your expectations — and that you enjoyed the Peace Park and museum. I’m happy we could keep the day flexible, travel a bit more local, and even stop for some local food. Also very glad we made it to the school — that’s always a meaningful part of the visit. All the best, Alex

    Hiroshima at our pace

    Alex was knowledgeable and friendly. He went at our pace. We chose to meet Alex at Shukkeien Gardens which are beautiful.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a lovely day exploring together — the garden, castle, coffee stop, Peace Park, and lunch made for a great mix. Enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan! Best, Alex 😊
