Overview
Meet a Hiroshima local to discover the city through their eyes rather than a sightseeing itinerary. After hearing your wishes via phone or app, your Hiroshima local will craft a private walking tour around your interests or their favorite areas.

- Connect with the real Hiroshima during a private custom walking tour with a local
- Swap typical tours for a meaningful view of the city, as from a friend
- Talk before your tour, and find your bearings, tips, sights, and local info

Extremely disappointed
David_S
, Dec 2019
Although the young Indian man that met us was charming and tried his very best, any questions that we asked he referred to Google for an answer. He had absolutely no knowledge of Hiroshima past or present. We were extremely disappointed and would not recommend this company to anybody in the future.

Hello David,
We apologize for the delay in responding to your review. We do not get automatic notifications for reviews on Trip Advisor. I am sorry to hear that your tour did not go as you expected. From your review, it seems as if perhaps you would have preferred a professionally guided tour rather than a Lokafy tour. In all of our information, we outline that we provide unscripted walking tours through a city with a local - just as you would see a city if you had a friend showing you around. Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like: what it's like to live there, advice on their favourite restaurants and also connecting on a personal level. From your review, it seems that our Lokafyers followed our guidelines. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level.
Safe Travels.
Regards,
Vinita

We expected a Japanese guide with local knowledge of Hiroshima. Guide provided was pleasant & able to take us to sites but was not Japanese & had very limited knowledge of the history of Hiroshima.

Hello,
We apologize for the delay in responding to your review. We do not get automatic notifications for reviews on Trip Advisor. I am sorry to hear that your tour did not go as you expected. From your review, it seems as if perhaps you would have preferred a professionally guided tour rather than a Lokafy tour.

Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like what it's like to live there, advice on their favorite restaurants, and also connecting on a personal level. As for the Lokafyer not being Japanese, We screen applicants extensively but do not require them to be natives of the city. Generally speaking, we find our international Lokafyers have a special connection to their cities as they have chosen to call them home. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level.
We hope that you feel confident to try us again in the future- we will make sure that we only match you with someone that meets your requirements so you can truly experience what Lokafy tours are about. We are active in more than 300+ cities around the world, so we hope to organize tours for you again.

The tour was adjusted to our liking. Our guide was well prepared and also gave us alot of tips what to do after the tour as well. She guided us to a nice local resturant and helped us order before our tour ended.

Hello Sofia,
Hope you are well. We apologize for taking so long to respond, but we appreciate you sharing this wonderful review with us. We're so glad to hear you had a wonderful experience with your Lokafyer Clara. She was really happy that you both had such a great time with her. The aim behind Lokafy is to connect travelers with locals for an authentic experience where they can not only know the city from their perspective but can also connect on a personal level. Just like having a friend showing you around the city. The uniqueness of our tours is that you can customize the itinerary according to your preference and schedule. It's great that Clara was able to show you different places in the city and help out with the restaurant. We appreciate you recommending our tours highly.
Lokafy tours are offered in more than 300+ cities around the world and Our global community of Lokafyers speaks many languages, so please get in touch with us next time you travel - we look forward to organizing your next adventure!

We had limited time in Hiroshima so wanted to see some sights and learn about the city. The tour sounded ideal, however, whilst the guide was very nice, he was not from Hiroshima, let alone Japan. He had only lived in the city for two years so his knowledge was actually quite limited. We did have an enjoyable walk round but I didn't feel we learnt as much as we could have. The tour didn't really deliver.

Our guide Shinichi was great guide for us. Showed us things and places that no tourist company or city guide could tell you. He was very nice and thoughtful. Tried to get the most out of the time we had.

Tour por HIroshima personalizado muy bien con nuestro guia Saul Fuimos a visitar la isla donde esta el Torii flotante del santuario de Itsukushima.. pero estaba en remodelacion.. una pena. Pero el parque Momijidana valio la pena .. es precioso., con el templo Itsukushima. Subimos en teleferico al monte Misen con unas vistas espectaculares.
