We had a wonderful experience on the tour we did of Miyajima island with Cva. He is extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of the island and the many things we saw there. He is friendly and has a great sense of humor and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Great tour with Shu. She provided extensive detail regarding the places we were seeing and ensured everyone was involved.
Our family of adults had a most enjoyable afternoon at Miyajimi Island today Shu really was a fantastic person and guide we really enjoyed her company for the afternoon We learned so much about the island , gates , shrines and history. We really appreciated all the family photos Shu took for us - highly recommend this tour
Our guide Shu, was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable.
Shu was the absolute best guide! She had so much knowledge of the island and was very patient when explaining what everything was. She gave us great insight into the cultural significance of all the parts of the island.
Shu took us around the island through the shrine and going to see the temples, had a wonderful time and gained plenty of knowledge about everything. Received food recommendations and didn’t feel rushed at all throughout. Even received other recommendations for our time in Hiroshima.
Cva was an amazing guide! He explained everything very well throughout the entire tour, and he was very kind and friendly to everyone in the group. 100% recommended!
Shu our guide was excellent patient and helpful

Was very good fun, Shu was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Would deffo recommend this tour with her!!
Excellent service from Shu. The explanation was expecional. One of the best tours I had taken ever.
Our guide Cva was very knowledgeable about the different religions. Very good at explaining it and easy to understand. And at the same time it was done with a smile. An excellent tour.
Cva is a excellent enthusiastic giuide. Time with him is well spent.
Yehor was an excellent guide. He had alternative suggestions since it was too hot to wait in some lineups. Introduced us to local delicacies and treats.
Cva was an amazing guide once again! He was super friendly and made the tour really enjoyable. He also taught us how to respectfully visit temples and participate in traditional rituals, which made the experience even more meaningful. Highly recommend his tours! ✨
Cva was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and great personality and storytelling that kept us hooked throughout the tour. Definitely worth the money and your time.
Cva was a warm, inclusive, intelligent guide, who was very knowledgeable about the island and its history. He was thoughtful and respectful in presenting information and was sensitive to the needs of the group. Would highly recommend any tour lead by him.
Engaging from beginning to end. Easily located Cva at the station. Our group of 8 Australians joined three others. Train and then ferry navigated easily, with some island info given along the way. We heard some island history, religious history and learned various customs along the way. A thoughtfully put together tour ( with strategic rest and toilet breaks) After just over 4 hours we then had time to eat and explore the island ourselves. Cva gave us just the right amount of information and happily answered questions.
Well done and organized. Informative and interesting. Cva is an excellent guide with passion for his trade.
We really enjoyed our visit to Miyajima with our excellent guide Shu. The pace was perfect and the insights to all the sights was first class. Highly recommended. Well done Shu!
Shu as n excellent guide, she was helpful, friendly and had some much knowledge. She took time to understand what U were looking for and then helped you to get the most out of the trip. Thanks Shu we had an amazing time! Peter & )lorna
Cva was our exceptional guide on our tour today. It is Silver week (a collection of public holidays in September) in Japan and so very busy. The instructions to meet Cva were excellent. Travel to Miyajima was much easier with him as our guide. We easily picked up transport tickets for the express train and ferry. Travel with two small kids (5yo, 7yo) went very well. We were a small family group with one other couple from Chile that was on the tour. The pace was great and we saw so much given the island was teeming with people due to the holiday. We were very glad to have met Cva for this tour as he was incredibly knowledgeable. Our kids loved his company as well and by the end my daughter was holding his hand happily down the stairs from one of the temples. Overall a very successful day! Lots of perfect stops to hit the toilet and snack with food we had on hand. Cva found quiet places even on such a busy day and it was easy to hear and follow him. He also knew what huge queues to skip and yet we saw so much of the island. The tour went for about 4 hours and was just the right length. Thank you so much, Cva! Such a fascinating island and a wonderful way to learn more about Japan! I highly recommend it. I don’t think we would have seen a quarter as much of Miyajima had we done it ourselves.
Cva was a good guide. He was patient and explained the historical background of Miyajima very well.
Excellent tour. Very interesting and impresaive sanctuaries and templos. Our guide Cva was very clear and kind and we leaened a lot of religions in Japan. Strongly recommend this tour and
Shu was the best tour guide! A wonderful walk through shrine island. I learned about the two main religions in Japan learning a difference of shrines and temples as well as the reason. It was wonderful to try oysters and lemonade in the area.
Shu, fue súper buena guía! Muy atenta y nos dio mucha información sobre la isla! Recomendado hacerlo con ella!
Unser Guide Cva hat die Tour mit seinen fundierten Erklärungen zu einem Erlebnis gemacht. Miyajima, die verschiedenen Tempel und natürlich auch die Hirsche lohnen den Ausflug an sich schon. Dank der tollen Erläuterungen in ausgezeichneten Englisch und dem vielen Hintergrundwissen eröffnet sich aber ein noch weiteres Blickfeld. Absolut lohnenswert.
Waanzinnige Guido Cva. Heel veel kennis wat een topper
Super fun trip. Guide Shu was a super guide, gave a lot of explanation about the temples, we learned a lot.
