Even before the trip she communicated via email and WhatsApp so we knew where to meet and had a good idea of our itinerary. She was very knowledgeable about the history and cultural aspects of Miyajima and was also a very adept photographer. She took us up Mount Misen, which was quite a hike but well worth it at the top! I highly recommend this tour and our lovely tour guide!”
