We had a wonderful tour with Dario. Having a guide who was not a native of the country gave us a different perspective on what we were seeing and experiencing. We recommend Dario to anyone who wants a tour of Hiroshima.

Thanks to reaching my profile page and Im glad to introduce myself to you. I am Dario, from the beatiful city of LOVE, VENICE, ITALY 🇮🇹, and I have traveled around Japan at least once a year from 2011 to 2016 when The fate decided that i had to meet my actual wife , who is Japanese, in Italy and I took the decision to move to Japan to be able to stay together with her in 2018 , after 1 year of relationship in Italy, and 1 year long distance relationship ( very long and far ). When I was living in Italy, I worked for 12 years as a sales man for different international companies in the air conditioning market , so I had the opportunity to travel around the world and meeting many people. I arrived in Japan in 2018 as a student of the japanese language. In the meanwhile I started studying the history of Hiroshima and in 2019 i decided to promoting myself as a tourist assistant, at the beginning for Hiroshima and Miyajima island, but after a while, all around the most famous spots in Japan. So far I guided single travellers, couples, families but also groups up to 40 persons. I will not be only your guide in Hiroshima, but I will be like a friend to you willing to share with you all of my knowledge about Hiroshima, Japan and its culture , and i can share with you all my experiences as a foreigner living in this country with its highs and lows. You will see me always with a smile on my face because I really love this job and you will see it through my passion. My mission also is to show you the beauty of Hiroshima and try to make you forget the sad side of this city. I really hope to see you soon here. また ね ("mata ne " it means "see you" in japanese) if you need , i can adjust my tours , according to your needs and preferences, just send me a request and i will be happy to answer you in the best way possible. Ciao Dario

We had a great day with Dario in Hiroshima and Miyajima. He is very knowledgable and personable, and set a great pace for our busy day. We did everything we wanted to do and more...great shopping and street food in Miyajima. For lunch, we had Okonomiyaki and was delicious. He guided us very well outside of out comfort zone. We enjoyed our tour with Dario. He knew exactly where to stand to get great pictures at Ithukushima’s Tori Gate shrine. Thank you for the memories! Rick & Andrea
Dario, is great at communicating. We wanted to change some parts of the tour and he was very accommodating and clearly communicated with us. Dario’s English is excellent and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. An added bonus was to learn about his life as an Italian living in Japan. You will enjoy touring with Dario. He is a gem!
We spent over six hours exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with Dario, and it was one of the most memorable days of our trip. He lives just outside Hiroshima, and you can feel how much he cares about the city of Hiroshima (and Japan as a whole), its history, and the people who call it home. From the start, Dario was funny, conversational, and incredibly easy to be around. He has that rare ability to make you laugh while also guiding you through some of the most meaningful and emotional parts of Hiroshima’s past. His honesty and depth of knowledge helped us understand the city’s history in a way that felt respectful, human, and deeply informative. Throughout the day, he was also wonderfully helpful — whether it was navigating all the parts of public transportation or providing restaurant ideas for our time with him and beyond. He kept the pace relaxed and enjoyable, and every conversation with him felt natural and engaging. If you’re visiting Hiroshima and want a guide who is knowledgeable, genuine, funny, and passionate, Dario is an incredible choice. We’re so grateful for the experience he gave us.
"Dario was already waiting for us at the cruise terminal and gave us a wonderful tour of Hiroshima. He shared many interesting stories about the city’s history and had even provided us with some helpful tips about Japan beforehand. We had a great day and really appreciated his knowledge and friendliness."
Dario was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed getting to hear about how he came to Japan from Italy and about his family. He was attentive to all of our needs. It was our best day in Japan. Highly recommend Dario.
