Guide #78055
Explore Hiroshima’s history, culture, and scenic islands—on foot or by bike—with a guide who has lived here for more than 20 years. I grew up in the Netherlands and worked as a light engineer before discovering Hiroshima—a city whose beauty and resilience captured my heart. Since then, I’ve built a life here with my family, raising children near Peace Memorial Park and once living with a Hibakusha. These experiences give me a personal bond with Hiroshima’s story of peace and recovery. As a former educator and a student of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, I bring a perspective that blends culture, history, and daily life. Guiding has become a natural extension of my life here, and I enjoy helping travelers experience Hiroshima and Miyajima in a way that is meaningful, authentic, and unforgettable.

Our tour around Etajima island was a blast. We had Alex as our tour guide. He knew the island very well and told us lots of bits of Information about it. He gave us a couple of options for lunch and we went with the Okonomiyaki. It was delicious! A great stop at a nice little local shop. The bikes were fantastic. The pedal assist was just enough to feel like you were...

July 2026Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure spending two days with your family. The heat, strong sun, and even the unexpected roadblock made it a bit of an adventure, but I think those challenges made it even more rewarding. I'm glad you enjoyed the okonomiyaki and our hidden beach stop. It was wonderful to see the kids having so much fun. Thanks again,...

June 2026Thank you for your kind words! I really enjoyed our day together. We covered a lot — Miyajima, a well-earned lunch, the fast boat back to Hiroshima, and the Peace Memorial Park — and it was a great way to finish the day sitting together and enjoying the view. Thank you again, and enjoy the rest of your time in Japan! Alex

We had the pleasure of sharing a day with Alex in Miyajima and Hiroshima, and he was exceptional from first contact to even after our tour ended, when he still kindly helped us plan a day on our own for the following day. With very little notice, Alex created a wheelchair accessible tour, ensuring every destination was inclusive and even arranging for an accessible...

May 2026Thank you so much for this beautiful review. It truly means a lot to me. It was a very special day for me as well — from the torrential rain and thunder to the quiet evening walk through Peace Memorial Park. Those are memories I’ll keep for a long time. I also really appreciated the kindness and warmth you shared throughout the day, especially toward your mom. I’m very...
