- laurarA8958HD00Excellent Travel ExperienceAmazing, informative and incredibly moving tour of the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Park with Shin, a local guide with personal stories to share of his immediate family’s experiences. The bikes were great - such a fun way to see so much of the city and learn an incredible amount at the same time. This tour was one of my most memorable and transformative travel experiences.
- GoPlaces66964100An emotional day.Such an informative tour. Moe was excellent, we couldn't have had anyone better to show us around. It was heart wrenching, educational and emotional. We very much appreciated Moe's personal perspective, but also, she provided balance. The information about the courage and resilience of the people of Hiroshima, to rebuild, to be so positive and to spread the message of peace after enduring such horror. Moe and her family are examples of what we should all aspire to.
- daimyh202300Amazing tourVery good tour for when you’re in Hiroshima! Shin was a great tour guide and the most talkative man in Japan in a good way :)
- born2roam196200Must Do ExperienceAn amazing experience with our fabulous tour guide helped us appreciate and bring to life the city’s history. Definitely recommend. Easy biking around historical sites as well as the city.

- Nighthawk199300Awesome TourI had a fabulous trip to Japan and one of the highlights was the tour with you TK I learned a lot from your knowledge and the great places you took us to. I would highly recommend this tour to travellers going to your amazing country. It would be great if our paths cross again one day. Zack (Canada)
- f00d737700Lucky to get a personalised tourWe had a fantastic bike tour with Moe and were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour that day. Moe was really friendly and willing to answer all of our questions about a very sad event in human history. Having tour guides with a personal connection to the Hiroshima area makes this a must-do tour. The e-bikes and flat terrain made covering the distance easy on a very warm day.
- KimLux00Great way to discover HiroshimaGreat way to discover Hiroshima. Shin was a very knowledgeable guide who shared a lot of knowledge as well as personal stories. Very open to questions and he knows all about the area and its history!!
- X5560XGchrisg00Great tour hosted by a great tour guideTK was an excellent and friendly host, taking us out to a great okonomiyaki place and a couple of very friendly bars, while also giving us some history lessons about Hiroshima and helping me with my Japanese. Can’t recommend this highly enough. やばい!!

Nice to ride a bicycle through the streets of Hiroshima, but I thought our guide didn't need to read us the plaques out loud, and might have provided more general information about the city and given us better orientation and detail. Shen focussed 100% on his and his family members' stories, and repeated them in the course of the three hour ride. It was too much of the same thing, and too egocentric for me. If I had known how to find my way back at the two hour mark, I would have left the tour.

An amazing way to see Hiroshima! We were staying in Kyoto but wanted to learn and pay our respects in the city of Hiroshima as an essential part of our Japan trip. This bike tour was the perfect way to experience it in an afternoon!
Everything was organised perfectly, and our fantastic guide Shin was funny, a great story teller and had an incredible message to share about his families experience of the A-bomb.
Truely heart warming and an experience we will never forget 🇯🇵

An informative tour given by Shin a second generation survivor of the A bomb. The stories he told of the history highlighted by tales of his grandparents and mother were given with thought and compassion. Unforgettable. In spite of the horror we learnt about, we were left with positive thoughts for humankind. Shin, thank you!

Shin-san is an excellent guide - knowledgeable, friendly and funny. This tour makes 6th Aug 1945 more personal, relevant and meaningful using one family as an example to connect with history.
I highly recommend to join this tour if you would like to learn about WWII and the atomic bomb.

Shin was very knowledgable about Hiroshima and history about the atomic bomb, his family was one of the A bomb survivor as well so it was very fascinating to hear his stories. He was also a great story teller with a... British accent! He's super humorous and friendly. I was alone during the tour, and the museum was closed because of the emergency state situation but I had lots of fun. 3 hours flew so fast! I thoroughly recommend the long course as you can see and hear more. The bicycle trip was very relaxing as well. Thank you so much Shin! See you again!

I just got back from my trip to Hiroshima and wanted to say just how much I enjoyed the cycling tour! My guide, Shin was very personable and funny. There were two trainees on the tour as well. They were both very hospitable and attentive to my needs. Shin brought me around to all the sites, shared factual information about the atomic bombing, recounted first hand accounts from his family (atomic bomb survivors), taught me about Shinto shrine customs, and left me with a final message about world peace. I learned a great deal during this tour. Now, I’m excited to share what I learned with others! Make sure you book this tour during your trip to Hiroshima, you won’t regret it!

It was a wonderful tour cycling around city of Hiroshima that is center of the atomic bomb tragedy.
Our guide Shin was great. He was so informative and friendly. His stories based on his family history were really impressive and meaningful. I was also moved by people of Hiroshima who never gave up and have hope. I got to love Hiroshima more.

Shen was a wonderful tour guide and a genuinely nice person . He had the general knowledge that one wants in a guide but also personal stories that related to his own family’s experience in and around Hiroshima during and after the bomb. I highly recommend Shen and this tour.

A very detail oriented tour. The history, it's after effects and the revival, were all well explained by Shin-san. A pretty jolly person but described the horrors and struggles with utmost respect. Also got to know much more through his family stories. A good educator of peace and compassion!
