Kyioshi was the best guide!
Our guide Kiyoshi was absolutely wonderful and made this day extra special. He was so knowledgeable and personable, and he spoke great English. We enjoyed the island and shrine, a delicious authentic lunch experience and a meaningful trip to the Atomic bomb sites. He was able to explain the history in a way that all ages could understand. We highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are glad to hear that you had an unforgettable day with him. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Japan in the future! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

A memorable trip to Miyajima and Hiroshima
An excellent outing with family managed very well by our guide Mr Kiyoshi who made sure he pointed out all the important points about the places we visited. The information was tailored to our interests as well. Miyajima was wonderful and Hiroshima was solemn. Our driver Mr Itami was also very cheerful and knew good landmarks for viewing and pictures. Thank you for making our trip memorable.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time with your family and that both Mr. Kiyoshi and Mr. Itami helped make your visit memorable. We truly appreciate your thoughtful comments and will be sure to share them with our team. We hope to welcome you again in the future!

An unforgettable memory!
Our guide Tom was from Hiroshima and had so much knowledge, providing us history of the beautiful people and places of Hiroshima. The memorial is a place that everyone should see and maybe our world wars would stop. Thank you Tom for sharing!!!

Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle cost?
+
Prices start at $678 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hiroshima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hiroshima is not rushed.
Is Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hiroshima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hiroshima and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hiroshima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hiroshima?
+
On Outty we rank every Hiroshima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour, Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites, Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Trip with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hiroshima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hiroshima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

What languages is Private Hiroshima Custom Full-Day Tour by Chartered Vehicle offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
