Experience the best of
Hiroshima with Withlocals

"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.. "

"Nabeel was so patient with the barrage of questions from our family. There was no way this your could be done in 5 hours, yet we never were made to feel rushed. It was so nice to have a guide navigate the transit system for us, that saved us so much time!"

"Awais is a highly knowledgeable tour guide in Hiroshima. He thoughtfully explained all monuments in the Peace Park and gave context around the events before and after 1945."

"Haq was passionate and adapted well to our large group that included kids. We learned a lot and got to discover some local things off the beaten path. "

"Nabeel is great. Approachable and friendly. Full of information that he shared as we wandered around the park and streets of Hiroshima. He engaged our kids in conversation, whilst also chatting with us adults. We have a few days in Hiroshima so Nabeel gave us a list of places to visit which was appreciated. Highly recommend "

"Haq was a great guide. He tailored the tour to what we wanted and gave a good balance in overall history of Hiroshima as well as the bomb and consequences. We also were able to visit miyajima island which was a great contrast. He gave us a number of choices during the day and ran to get our train tickets and found snacks for dietary requirements. He also made it nearer to 6 hours rather than 5 to fit everything in. Overall highly recommended. "

"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!"

"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. "
