Doing what: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima Island Tour from Hiroshima
I really enjoyed the trip. Our guide was informative, spoke decent English, and was humorous also. Later I took another Viator tour in Osaka, and the company is very consistent with quality of guides. The Miyajima Island tour was of a Buddhist or Shinto temple, and all would enjoy it. The Peace Park and A-bomb museum is serious but a must see for the impact of the A-bomb on Hiroshima. Good tour at a decent price. I definitely recommend this company.

This is for the experienced traveler if you are going to join this tour starting from Tokyo. We took the Shinkensen train from Tokyo to Hiroshima train left at 6:16am, and arrived 45 minutes before the tour began. Since the tour started at the hotel physically attached to the Hiroshima train station, making the connection with the rest of the tour folks was no problem at all! The tour was well worth the trip, the train ride both ways was great. The tour guide was good, but offered a few opinions concerning WW-2 that I felt were unnecessary!

Miyajima island was great, but the peace memorial park could have been better.

A very interesting and well-balanced tour sensitively guided by a well-informed guide. We fell in love with Miyajima and were very impressed with and moved by the Peace Memorial Park.

The tour was well organized and the guide was super friendly. It was nice to have someone do the planning for us. Miyajima was beautiful and peaceful. Hiroshima was moving. Would definitely recommend!

This was a very educational and moving tour showing the true horrors and tragedies of that fateful day. My teenage daughters and myself thoroughly enjoyed the entire day which began with the idyllic island tour. A day well spent.

We only had a short time in Japan and this day trip was a really efficient way to see two very remarkable and different locations. The guide was entertaining, spoke good English, and explained many local facts while on the bus. We even did some origami. I will be going back to Miyajima Island to spend a few days some time in the future.

It's marvelous what a good tour guide can add to an experience, with valuable insights into what you are seeing. Our day tour was wonderful if not very moving at the Museum in Hiroshima. The Miyajima Island was another beautiful part of Japan and we enjoyed just wandering around the gardens and shops after visiting the Shrine.

The tour was awesome and horrifying at the same time. The pictures at the museum and the graphic detail of what has happened since that day made us so sad. Still, we were so proud of all the people who have continued on since then to stop nuclear testing.

The guide was awesome--terrific English as well. She helped in every way possible. She not only knew facts about Hiroshima and the events that took place there, but she had personal experiences that brought it all into perspective.

This is an excellent tour for people who want to capture the essentials of both places in a day. Miyajima is serene and beautiful despite its inevitable tourist paraphernalia, and the tour of Hiroshima's atomic legacy was shattering and unforgettable. Do not visit Japan without coming here. Our guide was informative and also knew the best place to eat the local version of Okonomiyaki for lunch. If we'd had more time, it would have been good to do some climbing and meet the monkeys on Miyajima and also see more of modern-day Hiroshima, but as a day-trip this can't be faulted.

Viator did a great job and made my planning for a group of 9 very easy. I loved the convenience, and the Viator people I talked to were excellent. The tour was excellent; the tour guide was very good. I would recommend this tour to all. Hiroshima was an emotional trip but so important to see. It made me feel the absolute necessity to end all nuclear arms.
