“Fascinating and informative day with Mayumi in Hiroshima”

Mayumi escorted and informed our family, on a day experiencing the beauty and fun vibe of Miyajima, and the sobering and confronting Peace park and museum commemorating the Hiroshima bomb. Her knowledge and patient explanations allowed a deeper appreciation of both sites, and considerably expanded on what we would have learnt without a guide. We all highly commend Mayumi to anyone wanting to see and better understand these important tourist destinations.

Dear Rob, I am honored to receive your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to hear your stories, and your interest and appreciation in the culture and history of Japan and Hiroshima made it all worthwhile. All the best to you and your family. In gratitude, Mayumi

“A perfect day on Miyajima ”

This tour was fantastic and a definite highlight of our trip to Japan. We took the ferry from the peace park which was excellent and gave our achy feet a nice rest! Miyajima is a beautiful, quaint island, showing a completely different side of Hiroshima. Very scenic views of the floating Tori gate enjoyed from the temple. Pancho guided us at a perfect pace around the island, highlighting all the perfect photo spots. He also very kindly showed us the Japanese maple cake shop which allowed us to try the flavours before buying- beautiful freshly baked cakes. A lovely day exploring Miyajima with Pancho, highly recommended. Arigato gozaimasu Pancho-san

Dear Katie, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedbacks again! I'm delighted that you loved the Instagram-worthy photo spots I shared with you. From the iconic floating torii gate to those hidden scenic corners, capturing these perfect moments is such an important part of your travel memories. Your feedback about our touring pace means a lot to me. I always aim to balance giving everyone enough time to appreciate each site while covering all the island's highlights comfortably. I'm especially happy that you enjoyed the local sweets I introduced you to! Miyajima's traditional confections like momiji manju are such a delicious way to connect with the island's culture. Thank you again for joining the tour both Hiroshima and Miyajima. I really enjoyed having you all for 2 days, enyoed conversation during the tour too! Pancho

“A fantastic tour of Hiroshima”

We very much enjoyed a very interesting tour of Hiroshima with Pancho. We are a group of 7 with varying levels of fitness and Pancho did a fantastic job of adapting the tour to suit us all. He was very thoughtful in ensuring the pace and distance of the tour was just perfect for everyone. Lots of information on the tragedy of the atomic bomb including personal accounts of his own family which was very interesting to hear. Very interesting stops at the elementary school and the peace park. A highlight of the tour was making origami peace cranes during our lunch stops and leaving these at the children monument at the peace park in recognition of the story behind the monument which Pancho explained to us and is also detailed in the museum. A really thought provoking day, presented in a very interesting but balanced way. Excellent communication before and during the day. Thank you so much for an excellent tour.
