Haq was a terrific guide for our food tour. Hiroshima has so many food options but we asked him to preference those foods that Hiroshima was known for. His local knowledge was invaluable and each course was delivered with an informative dialogue. We ended our tour in the Peace Memorial Park and his knowledge of WW11 and the A-bomb was incredible. Our heads were spinning! Thankyou Haq for a great day.Great food accompanied by history lesson.

We really enjoyed our food tour in Hiroshima with Haq. He was very knowledgeable about Hiroshima and its history and was a fun and entertaining guide. The food choices were great and he took us to excellent smaller places off the beaten path that would have been difficult to find on our own. We liked that he was really well-informed on how each selection was important to the food scene in Hiroshima. Haq also shared personal stories about his experiences living in the city which gave us an insider’s perspective that we really appreciated. We loved our tour - it felt like we were visiting a new city with a good friend. Highly recommended! An Evening with Hiroshima's Top Guide

Haq was fantastic. He got our tour last minute bc our original guide got the flu. He was very friendly and took us to the best food spots. We got to taste all the local favorites. Haq had made reservations for us and we even had spots waiting for us at places that don’t take reservations!! The food was amazing. Haq knows so much about the town and the culture. We have traveled many places and always get a guide to show us around and Haq is definitely at the top of our all time favorites. Book with Haq and you will not be disappointed!Great day with Haq

It’s fantastic to be shown around by someone who speaks the language and knows the area and history too!

Awais went above and beyond for us! I’m traveling with my daughter and her bestie, just in our small group we have an allergy to peanuts and a pescatarian. Awais went to all of the planned places the night before to double check for any allergy or dietary restrictions issues. He also spent extra time walking us around the area which really expanded our understanding of the community, reconstruction post WWII, and history of the food. His English is almost perfect!! So much more than expected!!

We had a great history tour of Hiroshima with Haq. He shared many details with us as he walked us through the city. It was a bit of a squeeze to add Miyajima island as the Peace Museum captivated us for a long time. Miyajima island lightened the tour though and was a fun end with deer that were friendly to the touch, sweet treats and some cool history about the island too. We would definitely recommend this tour to families that want to spend the day learning about the history of Hiroshima - it was wonderful.Great history tour

I usually do not rate tours that high or write good reviews if I not truly believe the tour deserves it. However, this one was great! We had a wonderful 3 hour walking tour with Haq. Her speaks great English. He was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. His tour is very interactive and interesting. Haq gave us many details that we would have never known had we not listened to his historical references. He kept my 20 and 18 year old sons’ as well as my husband and my attention the whole three hours! So interesting! We visited all the important monuments in Peace Memorial Park. Haq made it very enjoyable. We highly recommend Haq.Outstanding Tour!

Although we had rain on and off throughout the day we made the best of it. Nabeel our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable. We started at the peace memorial museum and park, very powerful, then walked to the dome building, a ruin from the atomic bomb. Then headed to the Island of Miyajima Island to visit the torii gate in the water and Itsukushima shrine. Great place to visit, Lots of restaurants and shops, wish we had had sunshine.Although we had rain on...

Awais has a love for Hiroshima, the history and the culture. We had a super 3 hour tour, he knows all the little extras, the smaller exhibits that have zero crowds. From these we learned the history and had time to think and reflect. Awais has lunchtime tips too! Great experience, thank you. Awesome day.

Our family of four spent 3 fantastic hours with Haq. He was very knowledgeable, funny and informative. We learned so much about Hiroshima, the war, the park and Japanese culture. We have taken guided tours all over the world and Haq rates up there with the best. Do not hesitate to select Haq ( the fact that he is not Japanese added to the tour since he has a very personal understanding of a foreigner’s view of the culture). Awsome Afternoon

We had an exceptional experience with our tour guide in Hiroshima. He was not only fluent in clear and easily understandable English but also incredibly knowledgeable about the history surrounding the A-bomb. His expertise in presenting different perspectives and contextualizing historical events was truly impressive. Additionally, he provided us with a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, adding layers of meaning to every site we visited. His passion for the city and its history was evident and made our visit both educational and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thoughtful and well-rounded tour of Hiroshima.Exceptional Guide - Highly Recommended

We really enjoyed our tour of Hiroshima with Haq. He was a very knowledgable guide and shared some interesting insights which helped us understand the context behind the atomic bomb and its aftermath, as well as other Japanese cultural and geopolitical issues. He was particularly patient with my daughters (13, 11, 5) and showed great flexibility and generosity when one of the girls felt unwell during the tour. He quickly adapted and offered to use his own car to make it more comfortable for us to continue the tour rather than cancelling. Well beyond the call of duty. I would happily recommend this tour (and Haq in particular). Great tour of Horoshima

We had a great tour with Awais - it was enjoyable and it was evident he had amazing knowledge of the historical areas and events. I couldn’t fault the tour and the information as it was exactly what we were after. The only downside I would mention would be related to the price - value rating and some simple communication errors. When we booked the tour it was advertised as a private guide, upon arriving we were told we needed to wait for another couple joining us. They were a lovely couple and there was no issues with them, however I was a little annoyed with the price we paid and the fact it was advertised as private to have another couple on the tour. Furthermore, we had to organise a baby sitter and we had numerous requests from Awais for time changes beforehand which did add a layer of complexity, Secondly, we did the museum beforehand to ensure we could maximise the site visits, however upon arriving Awais suggested he was going to take us into the museum. This should have been communicated before and did affect the efficiency of the tour. All in all I enjoyed it but did find it slightly expensive. Great tour with informative guide

Awais is a very knowledgeable guide, who was able to show us around Hiroshima at a gentle pace and did not rush even though we had a tight schedule. He was able to point out all the sites of interest and presented facts in a pleasant way. His recommendations for lunch wasnspot on, we probably would have never gone to the restaurant without knowing that they served dishes which are a Hiroshima speciality. All in all it was a great day.

Haq met us at the cruise terminal and allowed us to coordinate a tour with all the must-do’s of Hiroshima, including a ferry ride to Miyajima, tasting local delicacies, eating a traditional lunch of Okonomiyaki or Hiroshima-yaki as known by the locals! We travelled into town for an informative afternoon at the Hiroshima Peace Park, all at our own pace with expert local knowledge. I can highly recommend Haq, we highly recommend and would use him again if we were visiting Hiroshima.A must if travelling to Hiroshima!

He reworked local transportation, got us through crowded sections of the Hiroshima memorial, had great insights to share with our group and finished our experience with a wonderful okinomiaki. While the day presented challenges beyond his control, he managed to pull off a full tour for us. All in all, a special day to remember.Hiroshima

We did a tour with Awais. His knowledge and history of the Peace Park and Museum was outstanding. He carefully navigated us through the museum and the park in a skilful way so we could learn and see lots in the park while making sure we saw what we wanted too. Then later visiting the castle and the gardens was also wonderful. We spoke to other passengers on our cruise about their group tour and they didn’t even do half of what we were able to see with Awais. Thank you Awais for a wonderful day. We will remember Hiroshima fondly because of you. A perfect day of history and beauty

We had a great time with Haq - the Peace Park, the Hiroshima castle and Miya-jima. We had a great meal of okonimiyaki and also learnt a lot from Haq along the way. The tour is much longer than 5 hours due to the fact that Miyajima is a train-ride away and there's a lot to see there, so keep that in mind when you decide what you'd like to prioritize seeing. Haq is very open to being flexible, which is great and the tour worked very well for our group, which was three people, but three generations - and everyone had a great time ! Amazing tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima

We really enjoyed our tour. Unfortunately, our plans were confused by restraints imposed by our cruise boat so a five or six hour tour had to be rearranged at the last minute. Our guide, Nabeel, was very accommodating and flexible and because the day was fine and sunny, we gave more time to parks and gardens than to castles and museums. Nabeel was informative, interesting and very responsive to our needs and interests. Altogether, a very positive experience. A great Afternoon in Hiroshima

The 5-hour tour to Hiroshima and Miyajima was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Haq was an incredible tour guide. He gave us an insightful history lesson about the events leading up to the bomb dropping and how Hiroshima rebuilt itself. He made the entire tour very interesting for our three kids (15, 13, 12), which isn't always easy to do! He was flexible with the trip and was able to adjust the times due to our train schedule, which we appreciated. He took us off the beaten path to try local foods and point out interesting places on the tour, which we all enjoyed. We have used WithLocals and other countries, and we have always had a wonderful experience with our guides. 10/10!! Loved every minute of this tour!

Our tour group of seven had a total of nine tours during our cruise. All tours were private guided and hand picked by the group leader. Haq was unanimously voted the best guide . Here is why. He was very organized, prompt, knowledgeable and accommodated the mobility needs of some of our group. Our tour of Hiroshima was excellent from beginning to end. Not only did he take us to the requisite places one would expect to see on a one day tour of the city, but he also. Went above and beyond to provide information, historical context, and importantly, some personal information based on his time spent in Hiroshima and his experiences. Beyond guiding us gently through the peace park and museums he shared, anecdotal stories from his family and personal experiences that Provided a fresh insight into not only the situation in Hiroshima During andafter the war, but life stories from someone who is not native to Japan. Our group found these interactions, most interesting. Thank you, Haq for a memorable day. If you have the opportunity to tour Hiroshima with him, you will not be disappointed.. Haq voted Best Japan Guide !
