5.0 (16)

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.

    We had a fun filled day with Alex exploring Miyajima and a delicious lunch at the ferry terminal before heading back to Hiroshima to visit the Peace Park and museum. Highly recommend Alex and this tour!

    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...

    Thank 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...

    We had a wondeful day with Alex. Ultimately, we decided to concentrate on Miyajama where we spent the entire day. Alex was very attentive as one of the people in our group had somewhat of a mobility issue. Alex was quick to adapt and he gave us plenty of options that made our day very enjoyable. Alex was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to share the details of...

    John, thank you for your kind words—I really appreciate it. Despite the light rain at the start, it turned into a beautiful day on Miyajima. The walk up to the temple was a good effort, but the way back through the forest with the cherry blossoms made it extra special—not to forget the oyster lunch. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you all. Merci et à bientôt!

    Thank you so much for your kind words — I really appreciate it. It was a great day from start to finish, from meeting at the hotel to the boat ride over to Miyajima and our time at the shrine. I’m glad you could fully take in both the atmosphere on the island and the deeper story of Hiroshima. Thanks again for taking the time to write this — and wishing you all the best...
