Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Haq was amazing! He was willing to adapt the tour to suit our interests and time frame. We found him to be very friendly and engaging. He has extensive knowledge of Japanese history and the political landscape and is clearly passionate about both! We loved our time spent with him and would definitely recommend him to others."
"Awais was extremely knowledgeable and provided great insight regarding the horrific events that occurred in Hiroshima during WWII. Our tour visited all of the important landmarks and memorials as well as a trip to the castle and gardens. We saw all of the sights on our list we had hoped to experience in Hiroshima. As an added bonus when it was time for lunch he took us to an incredible okonomyaki restaurant that was absolutely delicious. We chose Awais based upon prior reviews on the withlocals site and the reviews were on point. He has a PhD. in economics and speaks several languages fluently. He was able to easily explain all the important information to us. It was a great experience. We would highly recommend Awais as a tour guide. "
"Haq was an excellent tour guide! He was punctual, knowledgeable, and well-informed about Japanese culture and life. Haq was responsive to our needs and made our day in Hiroshima quite memorable. We highly recommend Haq and would hire him again if we return to Hiroshima. "

"Awais was helpful and responsive from our first connection, and the depth and breadth of his knowledge was immediately evident. He did a fantastic job of keeping us captivated, and helping us to understand the history and events around Hiroshima. He also takes you to places that you may not necessarily visit or understand the significance of without his guidance such as the breathtaking digital vault with an encompassing mosaic of the damage that was created using the exact number of tiles as the number of casualties, as well as other fascinating memorials that honor all of the children of Hiroshima, including citizens from abroad. Awais is quite friendly and easy to spend time with - I recommend that you spend some time with him too!"
"We had a memorable three hours with Haq who customized our 10 highlights tour to focus on the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Haq has an amazing historical depth of knowledge and he is an enthusiastic and engaging story teller which made things so much more interesting. We learned a great deal, thanks Haq! "
"Had a great 3 hours with Haq. Very informative and educational. Would definitely recommend him. "
"If you’re looking for someone who can keep a running dialog about the sights around Hiroshima and provide historical context, than Haq is the guide for you. It doesn’t hurt that he is in love with Japan and eager to share his growing knowledge of its history with you. His is fluent in multiple languages, but his impeccable English and endearing manner made our eight hours together fly by. Although we were hoping to get a Japanese guide (it is called with locals, after all) we feel quite lucky to have connected with him. You won’t be disappointed."
"We had a wonderful experience in Hiroshima with our tour guide, Haq. He was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, especially at the Peace Memorial Museum and Miyajima Island. He explained everything clearly and with great respect, which made the tour both educational, fun and meaningful. He was also very kind, patient, and attentive to our needs, making sure everyone in the group was comfortable throughout the day. Thanks to Haq, we were able to enjoy Hiroshima smoothly and meaningfully. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting! We are very thankful!"
"We had the pleasure of spending three hours in Hiroshima with our local guide, Haq, and it was truly an outstanding experience. Haq impressed us with his deep knowledge, explaining history in such a clear and engaging way that the bigger picture came together like a puzzle. He was extremely friendly, attentive to our wishes, and wonderful with our children—encouraging them to listen, ask questions, and take part. His excellent English made communication very easy and enjoyable. Time passed so quickly because we were fully immersed. Haq is a warm, professional, and highly recommended guide."
"The whole tour was amazing and I cannot imagine understanding the tragic event by simply walking around. Awais delivered an extremely thorough history of Hiroshima and he took us to some additional sites. Not only was he friendly and his English great, he has a doctorate in Economics which added to the unforgettable experience. Thanks Awais 🙏"
