“The Knowledge of Nisa”
Nisa was full of interesting information. She was very knowledgeable, shared stories and facts of an incredibly sad time in history for the Japanese people. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in finding out more about what happened before, during and after the bomb was dropped.

“Interesting reflection on the impact of the A Bomb”
This walking tour was different from any other we’ve done. Firstly because you don’t walk very far, but more importantly you learn so much about the history and emotional impact the atomic bomb had on the people of Hiroshima.
The tour is a great starting point for your time in Hiroshima, and after finishing we revisited the memorials and spent a few hours in the memorial museum (we could have spent all day in there).
Definitely recommend the tour in order to get your bearings and useful information about the catastrophic events, and don’t worry about the timing and crowds, just plan plenty of time to go back and revisit the bits you want to spend more time at.

“The Best History Tour”
I had the opportunity to join a tour led by Aly, and I had many questions about Hiroshima and its atomic bombing. Aly did a fantastic job by starting with a brief introduction to the events that led to the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. I was impressed by his approach to history, which he examined from various perspectives learned during his PhD studies. As a PhD holder in Anthropology from Hiroshima University, he has a strong grasp of the city’s history and culture.
If you are curious about Hiroshima’s past and present and want answers to questions such as what Hiroshima was like before World War II, its role in various wars in Japan, why it was the primary target for the atomic bombing, and how the city was reconstructed afterward, then a tour with Ali]y will provide you with all the answers you seek.
Thank you, Aly!

“Knowledgeable and Friendly ”
Aly was great. He explained us so much about the history behind the atomic bomb and the buildings in Hiroshima that were affected by it, as well as people that marked a difference in that time. He gave us a lot of details, took us to a lot of places, and what I liked the most was how attentive and curious he was, we chatted along the way about my country and his, about Japan and more topics. He wanted us to learn and know more interesting facts, ask questions, interact. It was great. I really recommend him for this tour. I learned so much I wouldn't have without him. Thank you Aly.
