Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an amazing few hours with Awais! His knowledge about all things Hiroshima is commendable and has a gentle way of sharing the insights and stories of Hiroshima. After meeting us, Awais tailored our time together. Our suggestion is to book a morning tour. Thank you again Awais, anyone coming to Hiroshima we recommend Awais as your guide. "
"Our group of four had a great day with Haq whilst visiting Hiroshima by cruise. Haq met us at the cruise terminal and allowed us to coordinate a tour with all the must-do’s of Hiroshima, including a ferry ride to Miyajima, tasting local delicacies, eating a traditional lunch of Okonomiyaki or Hiroshima-yaki as known by the locals! We travelled into town for an informative afternoon at the Hiroshima Peace Park, all at our own pace with expert local knowledge. I can highly recommend Haq, we highly recommend and would use him again if we were visiting Hiroshima."
"We did a tour with Awais. His knowledge and history of the Peace Park and Museum was outstanding. He carefully navigated us through the museum and the park in a skilful way so we could learn and see lots in the park while making sure we saw what we wanted too. Then later visiting the castle and the gardens was also wonderful. We spoke to other passengers on our cruise about their group tour and they didn’t even do half of what we were able to see with Awais. Thank you Awais for a wonderful day. We will remember Hiroshima fondly because of you. "
"After a lengthy unexpected delay getting off our ship Ali worked hard to reschedule our day. He reworked local transportation, got us through crowded sections of the Hiroshima memorial, had great insights to share with our group and finished our experience with a wonderful okinomiaki. While the day presented challenges beyond his control, he managed to pull off a full tour for us. All in all, a special day to remember."
"We really enjoyed our tour. Unfortunately, our plans were confused by restraints imposed by our cruise boat so a five or six hour tour had to be rearranged at the last minute. Our guide, Nabeel, was very accommodating and flexible and because the day was fine and sunny, we gave more time to parks and gardens than to castles and museums. Nabeel was informative, interesting and very responsive to our needs and interests. Altogether, a very positive experience. "
"Everything was great, we enjoyed a 3h walking tour with a lot of information about Hiroshima. "
"Interesting tour, information rich and kind approach. Full of facts, flexible in time taken and numerous sights seen. Was brilliant also with a 10 and 14 year old. Also gave further recommendations for Hiroshima. "
"The 5-hour tour to Hiroshima and Miyajima was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Haq was an incredible tour guide. He gave us an insightful history lesson about the events leading up to the bomb dropping and how Hiroshima rebuilt itself. He made the entire tour very interesting for our three kids (15, 13, 12), which isn't always easy to do! He was flexible with the trip and was able to adjust the times due to our train schedule, which we appreciated. He took us off the beaten path to try local foods and point out interesting places on the tour, which we all enjoyed. We have used WithLocals and other countries, and we have always had a wonderful experience with our guides. 10/10!! "

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.
Local guides in Hiroshima can provide deeper insights into the museum's exhibits, sharing personal anecdotes and historical perspectives that enrich the visitor's understanding of the city's past and its ongoing journey towards peace.
