In total, a good and informative tour in the mid of Hiroshima. The museum itself is very crowded, but definitely a must-see during a trip to Japan. I personally was most surprised by the visit of the Orizuru Tower. Folding the paper crane and the view are amazing! The entry ticket also allows you to come back for sunset. Also very good restaurant at the end of the tour - in total very recommended!
