Summary:
Miyu did an extraordinary job in guiding us today through Hiroshima and Miyajima. We truly enjoyed the tour and learned so much about the historical places, the temples and shrines (and the difference between them!), the food and the culture in general. It was wonderful to receive explanations and important facts on what we were looking at, we will definitely remember this experience thanks to Miju.
Miju knows a lot about Hiroshima and Miyajima and she was very patient and kind to accommodate questions and traveler’s requests, making for a very enjoyable day, even though it was very hot outside. 5 stars!!!
