      広島市は何度も訪れていますが、今回のツア ーではこれまで知らなかった広島の「物語」 を体感する事ができました。 なぜ広島という地名なのか、なぜ原爆がこの 地に投下されたのか、そしてどのような明る い未来を思い描き進んでいるのか。ガイドさ んのストーリーテリングが素晴らしかったで す。 原爆の悲惨さという事実を詳しく知ると言う よりは、戦前→戦中→戦後→未来と時間軸を 巡るように街の変化を感じ取る事が出来て、 ツアー後の余韻はとてもポジティブでした。 広島を訪れて「戦争の話でどんより精神的に ダウンしたくないけど、ある程度は知りたい 」という方いると思います。私もそうでした 。そんな方きは特にオススメですよ。テーマ は戦争ですが、明るい未来を感じて終わる映 画みたいなツアーです。 自転車もEバイクなのでそれほど疲れる事も く快適でした。徒歩でもバスでもなく、自 車だからまちに点在するストーリーを効果 に繋ぐ事ができ、満足度が高いと感じまし 。ルート設計が抜群でしたね。

      Tener un guía local hace toda la diferencia! Mi esposo y yo fuimos al tour para saber más de Hiroshima y terminamos escuchando historias que estoy segura que no se encuentran ni en los libros ni en los museos.

      Moe was passionate and inspiring about sharing a peaceful message with us through the history of Hiroshima. She was so much into it that up to this day I'm still thinking about it!

      ガイドのTobyさんに案内され、平和について 剣に考えるツアーとなりました。 フランクに、時にシリアスに数々のエピソー ドを紹介していただけたので、 原爆投下の当時に生きる人達への感情移入が 大きかったです。 原爆の惨状は平和記念公園周辺だけで起こっ たものではないことを、 実際に自転車で2~3キロ移動しながら学ぶ ことができました。

      知ってるようで知らない広島そして被爆地ヒ ロシマの歴史から現在を、電動アシスト自転 車でスイスイと回るツアーは、住んでる自分 にとって新たな発見が多かったです。 トビーのガイドは分かりやすくフレンドリー 、且つ自身の体験含めての説明にはグッとく るものも…。 改めて住んでる街のことを誇れて、もっと好 きになるツアーでした。 平和記念資料館を見るだけでは触れられない 、ローカルガイドが案内するピースツアーに 参加して、現地を回り、見て、感じる色んな 広島の魅力を国内、海外の方にも体験しても らいたいです。

      広島生まれ広島育ちで小学生の時から平和教 育を受けてきたため、広島の歴史については よく知っているつもりでいましたが、このツ アーに参加させていただき、また新たな側面 に気づくことができました。市内中心部のビ ルが建ち並ぶ街中と、そこに点在する被爆遺 産の惨状の対比から、改めて78年前に広島の に起こった出来事とその復興の過程に思い 馳せる機会となりました。 特に2時間のツアーを通して、原爆投下以前 活気あふれる様子から突然焼け野原となり そこから市民の力で復興を遂げてきた広島 過去から現在、そして未来へと続いていく トーリーに感動しました。街の風景として け込んでしまっている貴重な被爆遺産に今 度目を向け、平和とは何か、そのあり方に いて改めて考えて直してみたいと思います トビーさんの平和への熱い想いや広島に対 る愛がひしひしと感じられ、明日からも頑 っていこうという前向きな気持ちになりま た。 電動自転車で走りやすく、普段運動不足の私 でも快適なサイクリングツアーを楽しむこと ができました。国内外からの観光客の方はも ちろん、広島県民にもぜひ参加していただき たいプログラムです!

      ピースツアーということで、いろいろ難しい お話しなのかなと思いましたが、ガイドのト ビさんの解説がわかりやすく、心に染み入る サイクリングツアーでした。

      It was a very good experience. Shin showed us around in the beautiful Hiroshima. He had a lot of stories to tell which made the tour very interesting and a lot of fun. Also the personal stories were very touching.

      I can’t say enough about this one experience. It was so humbling and powerful to be guided by a local with family who are direct survivors of the atomic bomb. Our guide Shin was very informed, passionate, funny, and caring and he did such a good job of making sure we were informed and involved. Thank you shin! This tour was worth 5x what we paid for it. Thank you again for an experience we will never forget!

      The bike tour was very informative and we went to spots that we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. We learned a lot from the stories of our tour guide’s family’s experiences as atomic bomb survivors. The route we took was flat and we had electric bikes, which made the ride easy.
