Experience the best of
Hiroshima with Withlocals

"Nabeel was the perfect guide for our family group of five. He is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. He answered all of our questions, didn’t rush us, and provided insights into our tour that you would never know about otherwise. Highly recommended!"

"We had a great tour with Nabeel. We discovered a few lesser-known corners of the city with him, but also visited the peace memorial park and got to know life in Japan from the perspective of a foreign student. "

"When I contacted Nabeel asking for a custom tour, he was very enthusiastic and excited, even when I mentioned the long list of places we wanted to visit! Challenge accepted! Nabeel worked with me in the weeks leading up to our holiday to plan an itinerary that worked. We were coming from Osaka for a day trip, so he met us at the train station. From there, Nabeel helped us navigate the trams, trains, boats and skyway to achieve our travel goals. He took us for a very detailed guided tour through the Peace Park, explaining points of interest and historical information. He bought us tickets to the museum and told us which floors / rooms would be best to visit given we only had limited time. Following the museum, he guided us to our archery experience (we booked this separately) and waited whilst we finished there. From there, we went to the ferry across to Miyajima Island - and what a shame we had such limited time. It was absolutely beautiful, we would have loved to stay longer here. Nabeel again had a lot of interesting information to share, and suggested we try the local oysters and the maple leaf pastry - both delicious. He ran up to the sky way and bought tickets for us as it was about to close. We made just in time and enjoyed the ascension to the top and the incredible view from up there. On the way back, Nabeel took some lovely photos of us with the Tori at dusk. What I also liked about Nabeels tour was that he spoke from the POV of a student living abroad. His insights into Japans culture as someone who had been living here for only four years was interesting. I highly recommend Nabeel. He was great with our 8 year old son - and by the time we got back to the train, our son was asking, “where’s Nabeel, isn’t he coming with us?”. Thank you Nabeel for a wonderful and insightful day. "

"I booked a trip with Awais and he responded right away! Unfortunately he got sick but managed to get us Nabeel to guide us! All of us in the group were very happy about the day and Nabeel could inform us about everything that we asked. We got so much information about everything! I recommend this tour 150%! Well money spent and great fun 🤩 And both Awais and Nabeel were so great to talk to online and they were quick to answer any of my questions! "

"We booked Nabeel as a tour guide only one day in advance and were very lucky that everything worked out so well. Nabeel was very nice, friendly, open and could tell us many details about the historic side of Hiroshima. The communication before was very fast and nice, he waited for us, as we had a delay. The tour was very interesting and getting to know more details made it unforgettable. "

"Our guide was so amazing. Full of great stories on the visited places but also the on Japan society. He is also very patient with all of us. We highly recommend Haq for your visit with f Hiroshima but also for the islands just in front of the city"

"The overall tour is impressive and insightful. Nabeel is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. He has a very thorough and detailed knowledge of the history of the city but also told us a lot about the current city and its inhabitants and about living in Japan in general. He is very flexible and was very clear and proactive in his communications via chat upfront. Absolute positive recommendation "

"Awais was our guide for the Hiroshima Memorial tour. We had 3 kids in our group and he was a great story teller of the events of Hiroshima. He was a wealth of knowledge and we really got into the history. My kids really like the tour despite a hot day. Highly recommend Awais as your guide!"

"Although we had limited time in Hiroshima, we had a wonderful experience visiting all the heritage sites with Awais. He really looked after us and tailored our tour to our needs. Especially with 3 kids. I would definitely recommend Awais!"

"My wife and our two teenage daughters had a wonderful and somber day with our guide Haq. He shared local knowledge and background of Hiroshima as we embarked on our tour. We started our visit at the Gates of Peace memorial and continued to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. My teenage daughter commented on how he had great awareness of where each of us were and how patient he was in creating space for each of us to have our own experience navigating the memorial at our own pace. He provided a good narrative including off the beaten trail details that would not show up in a tour book. We had timely rest stops including a stop for salt algae ice cream which we would not have found on our own. We concluded our tour enjoying a local culinary favorite - okonomiyaki - which was delicious and the two women that ran the restaurant were warm and friendly. If you plan on visiting Hiroshima we recommend securing Haq as your tour guide for the day!!"
