The crane making (origami) was a nice touch and the Hiroshima Orizuru tower had such a beautiful view with very few people. The lunch at the end of the tour was delicious. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

Shiraz was knowledgeable, informative and very professional while being open to questions and discussion. My son had studied Hiroshima quite extensively and Shiraz was able to add many facts and anecdotes that we both enjoyed. We also enjoyed talking to him about his own life experience. Thank you Shiraz, we thoroughly enjoyed your tour.”
