Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Haq was a thoughtful, well informed and prepared guide. His knowledge of history and culture would make you think he was a history major. He showed us areas of Miyajima Island and Hiroshima that we would have completely missed doing it on our own. He was able to adjust our arrival time when we were delayed by snow flawlessly. He introduced us to local food and numerous stories that completely enriched our tour. He even made us all paper cranes that I will cherish. Little touches that made a very packed day special. We were limited on time and did Miyajima Island and Hiroshima all in one day. We did not feel rushed at all. I am in the travel industry and would recommend Haq to my friends and family."
"Nabeel is a very knowledgeable and accomodating guide. The Hiroshima history 3 hour walk is by its very circumstance a potentially confronting and a saddening experience. Nabeel managed the gravitas superbly and with enough light touch to keep us reflecting on the peaceful legacy and deeply human connection. A great and unique walk that was hosted by Nabeel excellently. "
"We toured Hiroshima and Miyajima with Haq, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He suggested that since we had come all that way, we should do both in one day and we’re so glad we did. It made for a full, meaningful day, and we learned so much along the way. Haq was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, sharing history, context, and personal insights that really brought each place to life. Beyond that, he was just great to be around easygoing, engaging, and happy to share his favourite experiences, local customs, and little details we never would have picked up on our own. Highly recommend Haq to anyone looking for a deeper, more personal way to experience Hiroshima and Miyajima. "

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum offers a poignant journey through history, exploring the devastating impact of the atomic bombing and its enduring legacy. Book a private tour with a local guide to delve deeper into this powerful experience.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, a somber testament to the atomic bombing, stands as a stark reminder of the devastation and a call for peace. Its exhibits chronicle the events leading up to and following the bombing, showcasing artifacts, photographs, and personal stories of survivors.
The museum's design incorporates the ruins of the former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, one of the few buildings left standing near the bomb's hypocenter. This skeletal structure, now known as the Atomic Bomb Dome, is a powerful symbol of resilience and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The museum's collection includes personal belongings of victims, melted watches stopped at the moment of the blast, and scorched clothing, offering a visceral connection to the human cost of the bombing.
Beyond the artifacts, the museum explores the broader themes of war, peace, and nuclear disarmament. It hosts educational programs and exhibitions aimed at promoting a world free of nuclear weapons.

"Awais provided a great tour of Hiroshima. It was definitely a sobering look at the destruction of the nuclear bombing and its lasting impact. Awais was very knowledgeable of the history and provided a great history lesson that focused on all aspects of this period in time."
"We were very thankful to have such a great guide in Ally. She was knowledgeable, interesting and gave us a detailed insight into the tragedy of this very devastating symptom of war. "
"Haq is fabulous and we cannot recommend him highly enough! We booked last minute and were so glad that we did. Haq is extremely engaging and bursting with energy and information. His passion for Japan and it's history shines through. We also thought that the fact he is not Japanese, whilst being immersed in the culture, was a positive as he is able to give his own perspective on current and past issues without bias. Don't hesitate to book him for your tour."
"Our family of six (teenagers and parents) enjoyed three hours of intense storytelling with Haq. It was absolutely worth the time and I will recommend him to everybody who wants to get their curiosity and sometimes conspiracy-driven mind exercised while at the same time keep their your teenagers engaged with test questions and competition... We truly enjoyed the knowledgeable and light hearted guide Haq. Thanks for a great time. "
"We really enjoyed our tour with Awais. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he is personable and was wonderful to spend time with. He made sure we got the full picture of Hiroshima and understood what happened there. I would highly recommend. "
"Haq was amazing! He was willing to adapt the tour to suit our interests and time frame. We found him to be very friendly and engaging. He has extensive knowledge of Japanese history and the political landscape and is clearly passionate about both! We loved our time spent with him and would definitely recommend him to others."
