Hiroshima Private Tours

“Kind and Warm - Highly recommended”

We had a great time spending the day in Hiroshima and Miyajima with Kazumi. She was very flexible with plans and organized a great day for my family, which included a 2 year old. She is a kind person, patient and soft spoken. She speaks fluent English and has lived in England and USA. We also really enjoyed the lunch option she chose for us, including a vegetarian meal for my family, and managing several allergies for my toddler. We really enjoyed her company and would gladly recommend her to any family considering a guide.

“The highlight of our Japan trip”

Pancho’s thoughtful and deeply insightful tour of Hiroshima truly left a lasting impression on the whole family (parents and two children, aged 18 and 15). The tour was engaging, moving, and wonderfully varied throughout. We especially appreciated hearing about Pancho’s own family history and how they survived the atomic bombing, which made the experience even more personal and meaningful. He answered all of our questions and adapted the tour perfectly to our interests and pace. One particularly memorable moment was folding paper cranes together and placing them at the Children’s Peace Monument. We also enjoyed sharing lunch and having further interesting conversations. Pancho’s English is excellent, and his warmth and knowledge made this a truly special experience. We highly recommend this tour with Pancho.

Hi Corinne, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and heartfelt review. It really means a lot to me. I'm so happy to hear that the tour became a highlight of your family's visit to Japan. Folding paper cranes together at the Children's Peace Monument and sharing my family's story with you were truly special moments for me as well. These are the experiences that stay with me long after the tour ends. I'm really glad you enjoyed lunch together! That's one of my favorite Japanese foods and Hiroshima's comfort food, so it makes me so happy that you liked it. Our conversations during the tour were just as enjoyable for me - it was a wonderful opportunity to learn about each other's countries and cultures. Thank you for your kind words about my English and for recommending my tour. Spending the day with your family - seeing how your children engaged with the history and asked such thoughtful questions - reminded me why I love doing this work. I hope Hiroshima will always hold a special place in your family's memories. Thank you again! Pancho

“Memories of Hiroshima with Rika”

We had a wonderful day with Rika, who took us to some amazing and moving places away from the rest of the crowd. I highly recommend a tour with her with her local insights.
