We were a group of 7 that had an amazing day with Ali! We were hoping to get some background and history of Hiroshima and boy did he deliver! He was incredibly knowledgeable, gave such a better experience than what you could research yourself, and paced everything perfectly. No group members felt rushed, and we got to see and learn so much! Ali was an amazing guide for the day, would highly recommend! Thankyou!Perfect day trip to Hiroshima

My family of 4 had the good fortune to do a day trip to Hiroshima with Ali last week. He met us at the train station, and the day was seamless from there. Although such a heavy topic, he was engaging, informative and shared so much fascinating information. He related very well to each of us. At no stage did we feel pressured or rushed. We especially loved finishing the day on beautiful Miyajima Island. I could not recommend this trip with Ali more highly.I could not recommend Ali more highly

I was excited by the reviews Ali had, and seeing Hiroshima. But the experience was not what I expected - basically a rote memorization and recital of the plaques without any history or content of the city before the war. why it was chosen to be bombed, the feel and nature of the people. I had some additional knowledge from my reading he did not have. I think this is not necessarily and issue with Ali, but with all of the guides who are no "locals" and were not born there, lived there and have family there. Nice Guide, but not a local

Ali was an excellent guide who made our trip to Hiroshima a great one! He was flexible and listened to our preferences so he could customize our tour. He was knowledgeable about history and the sites we visited and was strong with the English language. He demonstrated patience and didn’t make us ever feel rushed. He took the extra time to assure we met our tour expectations. We were a party of four and we highly recommend Ali for your tour guide! Excellent Tour Guide for Hiroshim

Ali led me and my husband through Hiroshima Peace Park and gave us context to what we were seeing. He gave very specific and useful information on restaurants and getting to Miyajima as painlessly as possible. We ended at Shukkeien garden, small and perfect with koi and turtles to feed...a light hearted end after a very somber start. Thanks to Ali for a grounding to start the time in Hiroshima Peace Park to peaceful park

I met Ali at the station, and I felt comfortable with his well mannered attitude. Ali introduced to me Hiroshima beautiful garden and castle, and then we walked to the Peace Memorial Park, where he explained me very well the history of the city and the facts during the Second World War. We exchanged our feeling and thoughts. Ali is very open and friendly. He helped me to find a nice place where to eat a okonomiyaki, and explained me also about the modern city. The time with Ali was pleasant and I will want Ali to be my guide for my next visit! Thank you!Interesting walk in Hiroshima

We had a tour of Hiroshima and Miyajima with Ali, we absolutely loved it, his English is great and he shared great facts about all the places we visited. Miyajima was a highlight, he took us to a local restaurant and had lunch with us before getting us away from the regular tourist spots. He actually spent over two hours extra with us. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Such a different experience to Kyoto tour.Brilliant

Ali was an excellent tour guide, taking my husband and I around Hiroshima, providing us with education about its history along the way. He was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and answered all of our questions. At the end we had a little extra time, so he walked us to Hiroshima Castle at our request. He then took some extra time to walk us to the streetcar stop to direct us to our next planned activity. We'd highly recommend him!Fun day with Ali
