“Wonderful and meaningful Hiroshima experience!”
We had an absolutely wonderful tour in Hiroshima with Kate. From picking us up at our hotel until bringing us back, everything was perfectly taken care of. In her calm, warm and personal way, Kate introduced our family to the impactful history of Hiroshima, while also sharing its powerful message of hope and peace. She is very knowledgeable, but what made the experience truly special was her genuine warmth and the personal conversations we had throughout the day. We feel very grateful that we could experience Hiroshima together as a family, and Kate made our visit even more meaningful and memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Kate to anyone visiting Hiroshima. An exceptional guide and, above all, a very warm person.
Kate M.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Hans! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your time in Hiroshima. I'm also so happy we got to share different cultures, experiences, and life stories along the way. Those conversations meant a lot to me too. Although it was only 4 short hours, I'm so glad to have met you and your wonderful family. I wish you all safe travels this week to Tokyo and back home, and please let me know anytime you're back in Hiroshima. I'd love to welcome you again! Kind regards, Kate
