This was such an amazing experience. The ladies helped dress us up in beautiful Kimonos and even helped us with our hair. There were so many color choices and size options, it was perfect for our group. The tea was delicious and we were able to learn about the tea making. After, we were allowed to take our time with photos and they even took their own and emailed them to each of us. It was such a lovely experience I wish I had done it sooner. I feel like this totally completed my tour of Japan. Their garden was beautiful and perfect for pictures. This is a must do for sure!

I had an excellent time with Kiki on the Hiroshima bar hopping tour! We started off with some Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (much better than Osaka-style) before visiting some cool local places that I never would have found by myself. Kiki is very friendly and talkative and she made sure that I enjoyed every moment of the tour. As an example, Kiki originally planned for us to visit a gin bar for our 3rd stop but once she found out I didn't like gin she immediately made other plans and took me to a fantastic cocktail bar. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Magical Trip if you have a chance to visit Hiroshima!! I hope you're lucky enough to have Kiki as your tour guide! I promise you'll have a great time!!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

I had an amazing day in Miyajima! I started the day off hiking up the mountain and then spending the afternoon at the old temple. Wow, you get it all in one day with a great setting. The ladies at the temple, were funny, kind and spoke great English. We started off with dressing up and taking pictures (they sent more than 30 pictures). We continued with Calligraphy and finished with the tea ceremony. They took all the activities in the most professional manner, yet they were light and funny. The tea ceremony was very interesting and I really appreciated that. Given the many places to join a tea ceremony, I think this is pretty much the best place to do so.
