"Haq lived up to all the great reviews that we had read about him and then some. He led us around Hiroshima in an effortless manner, he explained history in a way that it came to life and his good humor and smile made the day really fun. We loved spending time with him. He also took us to Miyajima Island and showed us the gems of the island. He arranged transport and made everything feel smooth and nice. Book this guide - he will show you sides of Hiroshima that you did not know existed to this day. Thank you Haq, we will send our friends your way."

"Haj was a fantastic tour guide. He was informative, affable, energetic and accommodating. In three hours, we learned an amazing amount of information about Hiroshima you simply cannot find in any book or self-guided tour. Haj provided my grandson and me with a plethora of fascinating historical information about the human side of the momentous events that took place in Hiroshima 81 years ago. Haj regaled us with fascinating anecdotes, historical details and insightful comments about the people of Hiroshima and the many people who came to help them after the bomb was dropped. My grandson and i were spellbound by his storytelling and were genuinely saddened when it came time to part company. Haj delivered everything advertised- and more. He is an enthusiastic student of history who freely shares his love of the subject and his adopted home-Hiroshima. He is a warm, caring Individual who will provide you with an enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend him to serve as your guide Hiroshima. "

"Our guide Haq brought the story of what happened in Hiroshima to life. 3 amazing hours in his pleasant company just flew. And loved the way how he combined the history with knowledge around Japan in general, living, culture and answered ours various questions. "

"Imagine being in 97 degree weather and having a fantastic disposition throughout an 8 hour tour. That was Haq, through and through. He had a plethora of information to share, was able to pivot the tour based on what we wanted and needed, and was so kind and gracious. If you want a thorough tour of Hiroshima, this is it!"

"Haq was a wonderful guide. He is passionate, energetic, knowledgeable and shares great information from history to Japanese culture. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of our tour. Highly recommend! "

"Haq is incredibly kind and super knowledgeable about Hiroshima/Miyajima and Japanese culture overall. He has lived in multiple cities in Japan and has a lot of experience from his previous career, travels and background living in other places in the world. Haq's love for Japanese culture, history and life comes across in high definition through his gregarious nature and passionate storytelling! We felt like we were spending the day with an old friend who just also happened to be a walking encyclopedia of all things Japan! He was very patient with our group of 6 which consisted of three generations. He was 100% invested in our entire group having a fabulous and meaningful experience both at Miyajima Island as well as at the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima City. We learned so much and it was such an impactful day for all of us. He also introduced us to the local Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki dish while we enjoyed beautiful views of the bay. It is clear that Haq embodies the true intent and message of the Peace Memorial and he strives to spread peace, understanding, love and kindness to each person he encounters. It is truly a joy to witness someone who has found his calling and who absolutely loves his career! We are happy and blessed to have made a new friend in Hiroshima..."

"Haq gave us one of the most memorable days of our trip to Japan. His knowledge of Hiroshima and Miyajima is remarkable, but what sets him apart is the care, warmth and humanity he brings to every story he tells. He helped us understand not just the history of Hiroshima, but the people, resilience and spirit behind it. Throughout the day he was thoughtful, engaging and endlessly generous with his time, answering every question and tailoring the experience to our interests. We left feeling informed, moved and deeply grateful. If you’re fortunate enough to spend a day with Haq, you’ll gain far more than a tour—you’ll leave with a genuine connection to a place and memories that will stay with you long after you’ve gone home."

"Haq was a super clear communicator who had so much information about the history of Hiroshima on multiple levels. He is such a kind person as well who will share stories of his own life in Hiroshima and local culture etc. Haq is so ready to answer any and all questions!"

"Awais was a great guide for our family of four around all the sites in Hiroshima. Super knowledgeable and flexible. I Highly recommend Awais to anyone! "

"As a group of friends we really wanted a deep dive into some of the history of Japan and we felt like Hiroshima was a must. Having a guide was the best decision to fully experience the historical context of the place and Awais was the perfect host: not only was his knowledge of the dates, statistics and events incredibly accurate, but he was also able to give the right weight to the experience, being it so emotional on so many levels. I really appreciated his guidance and he really made our experience worth. Highly recommended! "
