Awais was an excellent private tour guide for our walking tour through Hiroshima. He provided deep insights into the history, took his time to answer all our questions, and was incredibly polite and kind. Everything was perfect—highly recommended!

Awais was an excellent guide! He was very kind upon my arrival and reviewed the most important points. He was always concerned that I had enough time to visit the places and take photos. He was flexible on some changes and certainly knows the great gems of Hiroshima and Miyajime very well.
