Tour en solitario - It was a great experience. Ali is a great guide and was always available to answer any questions I had, and he knew the area well. I would definitely book the same tour again. Thanks Ali!

Exploring Hiroshima in a relaxed way. - It is a great excursion if you want to look around Hiroshima and the island in a relaxed atmosphere. I was nervous about riding a bike as I haven’t done it in a long time and Aimée-Linh was really lovely and supportive, she made me feel at ease. We loved the island and riding around Hiroshima, would definitely recommend this excursion. Aimee took lovely pictures of me and my daughter.
Just a note that it’s not a historically heavy tour, so if you are looking for something more historic based it’s probably not the one for you.

An absolute must do when in Hiroshima! - The day trip with Sage was an absolute delight! I thoroughly enjoyed the day from cycling in the morning, learning about Hiroshima's history, having Hiroshima's okonomiyaki for lunch before hoping on a ferry trip to Miyajima! It was such a stellar day!
Sage's passion and knowledge of Hiroshima has really made the day trip extra special! Thank you for a memorable experience!

Must do tour around Hiroshima with Aimee - Aimee was an amazing guide. She gave us a lot of background information on the small details we as tourists tend to miss on. Took us on a nice tour around mijayima and the main temples and was super kind to take gorgeous pics of us with her camera. The bike ride around the city was super smooth as well which made it an enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend doing this tour with her if you have a chance!

A great way to experience Hiroshima and Miyajima in a day - The full day tour with Aimée-Linh was outstanding. I could only spend a day in Hiroshima and am glad to have been paired up with her. Done many walking and bike tours around the world, ranging from NYC, Paris, Amsterdam etc. This one would is the best to date. The content was kept simple but informative. I felt safe riding along even though it’s been a while since I’ve ridden a bike. Aimée-Linh ensured the route was efficient/effective, answered questions, helped take photos and went above and beyond in customer service. She has a heart and it shone through her work in the care taken, making it a fun, jam packed and a memorable visit. Highly recommend a tour with Cycle Hiroshima, and if you’re lucky you might have a similar experience.

Great day - Had a great tour with Ishan. There were 5 of us on the day and as no-one had, sensibly, made plans for after the tour we stayed out until after 6 p.m. as he was very keen to impart as much knowledge at as many sites as possible. Ishan’s knowledge was excellent and he clearly enjoyed his subject and had researched extensively. All in all a great day out with a fantastic guide and a really good group of fellow tourists.

Great experience with Aimée in Miyajima/Hiroshima - Aimée-Linh was a very attentive guide to all our needs. She was very knowledgeable and she took care of having a optimal tour of what we wanted to explore. She was very generous with her help in many fields for our trip to Hiroshima and Japan overall. She brought us to cool spots we may have missed and snapped some great shots of us along the way. We enjoyed our special day in Miyajima and Hiroshima!

Great day in Hiroshima and Miyajima - We spent a whole day cycling and walking with Alex for the Peace Park and Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, saw and learned a lot. Alex guided us through the day without stress. The tour is very varied. Bicycle in Hiroshima, train ride to the ferry, delicious lunch, guided tour to the temple. The great thing was that we didn't look at sights like anonymous tourists. Thanks Alex, who knows the country and people and also just addresses them and was also interested in us. Highly recommended.
