This was a great tour. The guide, Amy, was very knowledgeable and helpful. There was plenty of time at Miyajima and at the Peace Memorial Museum, which has some really excellent displays Highly recommended!

The tour and tour guide were the greatest! I'm planning to do this again next March with my wife. If everyone would visit Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park the world would be a much better place. It is a shame that only one American President has visited Hiroshima! Charlie from Pennsylvania USA

The tour was excellent due primarily to an excellent interpreter/tour guide.

I am so glad we went to Miyajima first then the Memorial Park. The island is beautiful and we tried the specialty. The park and museum are very powerful in convincing you that nuclear weapons are never an option. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is that Viator did not notify us that the water Tori Gate was under repair and covered up. Instead they gave us postcards.

A very good tour and well worth the cost. We enjoyed the tour guide, Amy. She had personal connections to family members lost during the bomb. Her life story about the bombing made it very real, and the Memorial Park is very inspiring and sombering. The visit to the island was also very good. The weather was perfect for walking along the path to the temple and viewing the deer roaming freely.

This tour was awesome!!! Our guide, Marika, did a wonderful job guiding it! Considering that it was just me and another Australian couple that went along, the tour became more of a personal tour than anything else. That being said, Marika took the time to show us a great part of Miyajima Island, its shrine, and some of its traditions. We were lucky enough to witness a traditional Japanese wedding while at the shrine! The visit to the Peace Memorial Park was also great, although I wish we'd had more time to spend at the museum--which was fascinating--instead of the park. The reason I'm not giving this tour 5 stars is because we had to rely on public transportation instead of having our own--from Viator. However, given the choice between using public transportation and having to cancel the tour due to low enrollment, I choose the former, of course. In addition, the time we spent at the Peace Memorial Museum was extremely limited because we arrived almost at closing time. All in all, however, I highly recommend this tour for those of you who want to learn a bit more about the Japanese culture--and a whole lot more about the aftermath of the atomic bomb.

The weather was great and the tour was fantastic. Our guide -Akiko spoke excellent English and was extremely informative and amusing. There were 12 people on the tour (with Akiko and the bus driver - totalled 14) and this was a good number as people mixed and talked to each other. It was definitely the best tour and I would recommend it to all. Unfortunately for me and a few others, we did not have enough time at the museum to see all, so now I have to return and send more time there.

A very beautiful but moving day. The morning spent at Miyajima was relaxing, our afternoon at the museum in Hiroshima was very moving and surreal. I would recomend it to anyone travelling to Japan.
