"We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour of Hiroshima with Awais! We walked all over the city, discovered historical sites and “hidden gems” we never would have found on our own. Most importantly, Awais helped us understand the devastating history of Hiroshima in a way that was both educational and deeply moving.
Awais was personable, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for sharing Hiroshima’s history and honoring the tragedy that occurred here really showed throughout the tour. We learned so much and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city, its history, and its people.
We highly recommend Awais to anyone visiting Hiroshima. Maybe you too will be able to watch him enjoy his favorite Japanese sweet treat - that we too found was very delicious! "

Peace at the Hiroshima peace park
"Haq our guide was kind and we immediately felt comfortable with him. He was very passionate about the significance of the Peace Park and surrounding area. He had respect and knowledge which he imparted to us. We would thoroughly recommend him. "
"My husband and I spent 3 informative hours with Haq doing the Historical Helsinki Tour. Our time was spent in the Hiroshima Peace Park learning about the incredible tragedy that this city faced. Haq was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject and gave a locals perspective of the event. He kept a pace that was suitable for my husband who has some mobility issues. Highly recommend "
"Had the most amazing experience with Mr Awais-
He was very insightful and knew everything to the dot.
I am leaving with wonderful memories.
My 10 year old kids loved him too & could relate everything he said-
"
"Haq lived up to all the great reviews that we had read about him and then some. He led us around Hiroshima in an effortless manner, he explained history in a way that it came to life and his good humor and smile made the day really fun. We loved spending time with him. He also took us to Miyajima Island and showed us the gems of the island. He arranged transport and made everything feel smooth and nice. Book this guide - he will show you sides of Hiroshima that you did not know existed to this day. Thank you Haq, we will send our friends your way."
"Haq was a wonderful guide. He is passionate, energetic, knowledgeable and shares great information from history to Japanese culture. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of our tour. Highly recommend! "
"Awais gave us an exceptional 3 hour private tour of Hiroshima. His deep knowledge of the historical significance of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the Peace Memorial Museum, Atomic Bomb Dome, G7 Summit Commemorative Gallery, and the Thousand Cranes Project made the experience both moving and educational. He explained everything with great clarity, compassion, and insight, helping us better understand the history and lasting message of peace.
Arais is a kind, thoughtful, and highly educated guide who answered all of our questions with patience and care. He also recommended an excellent local lunch spot for okonomiyaki that we would never have found on our own, which made the day even more memorable. We truly appreciated his professionalism and warm personality, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hiroshima."
"As a group of friends we really wanted a deep dive into some of the history of Japan and we felt like Hiroshima was a must. Having a guide was the best decision to fully experience the historical context of the place and Awais was the perfect host: not only was his knowledge of the dates, statistics and events incredibly accurate, but he was also able to give the right weight to the experience, being it so emotional on so many levels. I really appreciated his guidance and he really made our experience worth. Highly recommended! "
