Doing what: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima Island Tour from Hiroshima
This was a pretty decent tour and it was nice to have an English speaking guide. Truly, though, the price is excessive, as you could do this tour on your own for about 15th the cost. The Miyajima ferry is only a few dollars and the Hiroshima Museum is about 50 cents. Moving between the destinations would be the only part requiring effort and expense.

The whole tour more than exceeded my expectations. I found the tour to Miyajima Island very interesting, relaxing and pleasurable. The visit to the Peace Memorial Park was informative, sad and thought-provoking. The visit heightened my awareness of the history relating to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and the long-term effects. It also strengthened my belief that the world should abolish all nuclear weapons in every country.
The one-day tour was the only reason for my visit to Japan as part of my four-country world tour. However after visiting Japan I now wish to return for a longer period.
The Tour Guide for the day was very professional, informative and friendly and I would like to have my thanks passed onto her. The driver for the day was also friendly and assisted in every way possible.

This was a great tour. Well worth going, especially if you have limited time. Very organized, well, except for the meeting area. Where were we supposed to meet, we didn't see any signs and luckily happened upon the bus in my search. Anyhow, that was just a slight inconvenience. Miyajima is gorgeous, so make sure you have plenty of film/memory for your camera. Don't feed the deers unless you want them to follow you for the entire day. If you're lucky, you'll see a wedding party at the shrine, all dressed up in their beautiful kimonos. Hiroshima was an eye opener, somber, enlightening, depressing and hopeful - a definite must see if you're travelling in Japan!
