About local Sebastian
7 March 2025
Amazing day!

We had such a wonderful time with Sebastian. He had so much knowledge about each stop and created the best schedule to avoid the crowds and make the best use of the time. The meals we had were really special and highlighted local ingredients for super reasonable prices. I would highly recommend him as a guide.

A wonderful tour with Haq

Haq is a sincere and thorough guide. He tells the stories of Hiroshima in a way that interests both adults and children. He kept us going so that we could maximise our time and we would recommend him highly to learn about Hiroshima. Thankyou Haq!

About local Jessica

Great Guide!

We really loved our time with Jessica. She did a great job explaining everything to us and really had the food scene down. That was our main interest. She was specially good at pivoting around our interests. Highly recommend her!
