All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I wasn't expecting much due to the cloudy rainy season, but we had a wonderful time seeing sea turtles and cute fish, creating great memories as a family. The staff were kind and easy to talk to, and my shy daughter was able to relax and enjoy herself. All the videos and photos turned out amazing, and if we go to Miyako Island again, we would love to use your services! Thank you very much!

梅雨の曇りであまり期待せずだったのですが、ウミガメと可愛いお魚に会えて家族でとても良い思い出になりました。スタッフの方も優しくて話やすくて人見知りの娘もリラックスして楽しんでました。沢山の動画と写真も全部素晴らしく良くて次も宮古島に行ったらお世話になりたいです!!ありがとうございました！

Aside from the incorrect description of the pickup, it was a very good tour. The content is completely different in the morning and afternoon, so I recommend participating in both.

ピックアップの説明が間違っていたことを除くと、とても良いツアーだった。午前と午後で内容が全く異なるので、両方の参加がおすすめ

It was nice to relax. I think it's perfectly fine for those who lack confidence in their legs since you can avoid walking.

It was a place worthy of being a World Natural Heritage site.

のんびりして良かったです。
歩かずに済みますので足に自信の無い方でも全然大丈夫かと思います。

世界自然遺産に相応しい場所でしたね。

On the day of the trip, it was rainy, and I was very disappointed that I couldn't see the blue sky and blue sea that you can enjoy on a sunny day in Okinawa. However, I was very satisfied with the course content as it included all the places I wanted to visit. I would have been even happier if the stay time at Kouri Island, Manzamo, and American Village could have been extended by about 10 more minutes. The driver and guide were very calm, cheerful, and kind, which made the experience very pleasant. Thank you for your assistance. I would like to use your services again.

当日は雨模様で、沖縄の晴れた時に味わう　青い空と青い海が見られなかったのはとても残念でした。
でもコースの内容は行きたい所ばかりだったので、とても満足です。古宇利島　万座毛、アメリカンビレッジの滞在時間　もう少し後10分ほどプラスしてくれるともっと嬉しいです。運転手さんとガイドさんの対応がとても穏やかで明るく親切でとても気持ち良かったです。お世話になりました。ありがとうございます。また利用させてもらいたいです。

I didn't know the meeting point for the reserved taxi, so I went to the app taxi location. The driver contacted me and came to pick me up. I was able to sightsee efficiently in a short amount of time.

予約タクシーの待ち合わせ場所を分からないので、アプリタクシーのところに行きました。運転手さんから連絡が来て、迎えに来ました。
短い時間で効率良く観光できました。

First, there was extremely little information about the history and description of Kamakura. There was only a brief explanation at the beginning of the tour, and after that, it was more of an introduction to the locations rather than providing any substantial historical context. They should definitely add more background about each place.

At each location, there wasn't enough time to really see everything, and we felt rushed the whole time, which made it hard to enjoy. It was also inconvenient that we couldn't eat or drink on the bus.

Michael was pleasant and nice.

まず鎌倉の歴史や説明が極端に少なかった。
ツアーの初めに少し説明があっただけで、後は簡単な最低限の説明と言うより、その場所の紹介だけ。
もっとそれぞれの歴史などの背景を加えるべき。

それぞれ行った場所でも充分に見る時間がなく、ずっと急いで周り、楽しめなかった。
バスの中で飲み食いできなかったのも不便。

マイケルは感じが良かったしナイスだった。

It was great to be in places that were completely free of crowds. I really enjoyed hearing about life in Kyoto. I was able to fully enjoy various aspects of Kyoto that aren't in the travel guides, as well as the good points of the major attractions.

混雑が全く無いところばかりでよかったです。京都の生活とか聞かせてもらってほんとに楽しかったです。
観光本に無い京都や、メジャーもメジャーの良いところなど色々説明していただいて満喫できました。

It was a very valuable experience to be able to observe the current staff members undergoing training. The staff member who guided us was also a flight attendant, and I had a lot of fun hearing various stories from them.

実際に現役の職員の方々が訓練されている様子を見学することができて、とても貴重な体験でした。ご案内してくださる職員の方もフライトアテンダントの方で、いろいろなお話を聞くことができて、とても楽しかったです。

I was torn between renting a car and joining a tour for my Yakushima trip, but choosing the tour was definitely the right decision!

The roads on Yakushima can be quite narrow in certain areas. If I had been driving myself, I might not have had the chance to enjoy the scenery and would have felt stressed out.

Especially around the West Coast Road and the Jomon Sugi area, I think the roads can be pretty tough if you're not used to driving. If you want to take your time and enjoy the sightseeing with everyone, I absolutely recommend joining a tour!

屋久島観光、レンタカーと迷ったけどツアーにして大正解でした！
屋久島の道路は、場所によってかなり道幅が狭いです。自分で運転してたら、景色を見る余裕なんてなくてストレスが溜まってたかも…
特に西部林道や紀元杉のあたりは、運転に慣れていないとかなりタフな道だと思います。
ドライバーさんも全員でゆっくり観光を楽しみたいなら、ツアー参加が絶対にオススメです！

I thoroughly enjoyed the time trip. The driver's service was also excellent. Traveling from Tokyo Station to Asakusa can be quite challenging with transfers, so this was convenient and fun 🎶 I highly recommend it!

タイムトリップ満喫できました。
ドライバーさんの対応も非常に良かった。
東京駅から浅草まで行くのは乗り換えとか大変なので、便利かつ楽しい🎶
オススメです

In January 2026, we arrived on the cruise ship, and it was a great help that the driver came to the parking lot right in front of us. It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and thanks to the veteran driver’s guidance, we were able to have an efficient and meaningful sightseeing experience. We were blessed with good weather, enjoyed beautiful scenery, and were able to take memorable photos, which made us very satisfied. I was particularly moved by Kabira Bay. During the drive, the driver shared stories about the culture and customs, and took us to recommended places (popular power spots), which was a lot of fun. I appreciate the flexible response to our requests for specific destinations. Before going, I was unsure and anxious about whether to rent a car, but chartering a taxi through Veltra allowed us to focus on sightseeing, which was great. Thank you so much to the driver who took care of us at that time.

2026年1月　当日クルーズ船での到着でしたが、目の前の駐車場に来てくれ本当に助かりました。初めての石垣島でしたがベテラン運転手さんのガイドで効率よく有意義な観光ができました。お天気にも恵まれ綺麗な景色、記念撮影も叶い大満足です。特に川平湾には感動しました。移動中も文化や習慣をお話ししてくれたり、おすすめの場所(人気のパワースポット)にも案内してくださったり楽しかったです。こちらの希望地の要望にも応えながらも、柔軟な対応に感謝いたします。行く前はレンタカーにしようか迷い不安もありましたが、ベルトラでタクシーをチャーターしたことで観光に専念できて良かったです。あの時の運転手さん、お世話になり本当にありがとうございました。

We arrived in about 5 minutes by boat. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was fine. Uni Island is really beautiful, and I would love to go again if I have the chance.

ボートで約5分で到着しました。船酔いを心配していましたが大丈夫でした。
ユニの島すごく綺麗で、また機会があれば行きたいです。

I was looking forward to my trip to Ishigaki Island. The weather forecast predicted rain...

However, although it was cloudy on the day of the tour, we were able to enjoy it without getting rained on. The ground was slippery from the rain, which made our walk through the forest thrilling and fun, and I felt lucky to observe many creatures! It left me with a positive feeling.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any stars due to the thick clouds, but I was glad to have experienced the magnificent nature of Ishigaki Island during the tour.

Both tour conductors were friendly and kind, and I would recommend this tour to anyone I know who is traveling to Ishigaki Island. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

楽しみにしていた石垣島旅行。
天気予報は雨、、、

しかし当日は曇ってはいたものの、雨に降られることなくツアーが開催されました。
雨上がりで地面が滑りやすく、森の中の散策はスリル感満載で楽しかったのと、生き物をたくさん観察できて運が良かった！とポジティブな気持ちになりました。

厚い雲のせいで星は一つも観えなかったのは残念でしたが、雄大な石垣島の自然を体感できたのでツアーに参加してよかったです。

ツアーコンダクターのお二人とも気さくで親切で、石垣島に旅行にいく知り合いがいたらおススメしたいです。
素敵な時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice and the Shakotan Blue was very beautiful. It was definitely the right decision to walk all the way to the tip of Cape Kamoi!

Since it was Saturday evening at the Shiroi Koibito Park, there were a lot of people, and I didn't have quite enough time. Still, I was able to hurry and buy some souvenirs and enjoy some soft serve ice cream. It was a very satisfying bus tour!

天気が良くて積丹ブルーが
とてもきれいでした
神威岬先端まで
頑張って歩いて大正解！！

土曜日の夕方に
白い恋人パークだったので人も多く
少し時間が足りなかったです
それでも
急いでお土産を購入して
ソフトクリームも食べる事が出来ました
大満足のバスツアーでした

I'm glad I was able to see how people involved with airplanes are trained and educated in their environment within the 70-minute timeframe.

70分という時間の中で飛行機に係る人達がどういう環境で訓練、教育を受けておられるのか実際に見れて良かったです。

It was a very well-thought-out schedule. I was able to visit three islands, and I gained a good understanding of the geographical relationships in the Yaeyama Islands. The guide's explanations were also educational. The performance of the sanshin on the water buffalo cart was great. The lunch exceeded my expectations, and I got to enjoy various Okinawan dishes. Although it was cloudy with light rain seasonally, I was satisfied. Thank you.

とてもよく考えられたスケジューリングです。3つの島に行け、八重山諸島の地理的な位置関係が良くわかりました。
ガイドさんのお話も勉強になった。
水牛車の三線演奏が良かった。
お昼ご飯も期待以上。沖縄料理をいろいろいただけました。
季節的に曇りと小雨でしたが、満足できました。ありがとう。

I'm glad I was able to efficiently visit Cape Kamui and Otaru! Is the guide from China? Since they speak Japanese, English, and Chinese, you shouldn't expect the same level of detailed explanations as you would from a Japanese guide.

神威岬、小樽と効率的に回れて良かったですー
ガイドさんは中国の人？日本語、英語、中国語と話されるので、日本人ガイドさんのようなきめ細かな説明を期待しない方がいいです。

The taxi driver was able to take us to the places we wanted to go within the time we requested. He was also great at conversation, making the two hours very enjoyable and never boring.

タクシーの運転手さんが、希望通り、時間内でいきたいところを回っていただけました。お話も上手で、飽きなく2時間、とても楽しい時間でした。

My friend, who is a university student aspiring to be a teacher, said that they want to provide such educational opportunities to others as well. I believe that having practical opportunities like this before working as a teacher would have a positive effect on the students being taught. I was simply happy that the trainees waved and welcomed the visitors.

一緒に行った、教師志望の大学生を教えている友達曰く
彼らにもこのような教育機会を与えたいとのこと。
教師として働く前にこのような実践的な機会があれば、教えられる側にも良い効果があると思う。
私は単純に訓練生が見学者に手を振って歓迎してくれたのが嬉しかった。

I participated in early June, ordered lunch bento only, and I'm a beginner at mountain climbing.

While researching on Veltra, I found that there were very few places that allowed solo participation. Even after making a reservation, I faced cancellations due to requests, and I finally managed to book this tour. I was truly grateful for that.

After heavy rain the day before, flights were canceled, and there was a fear that this tour might also be canceled, so I was quite anxious. However, on the day of the tour, it was rainy then cloudy, and we were able to trek safely.

A large bus came to pick us up near the hotel early in the morning, and those who ordered bento received their meals from a bento shop along the way, heading straight to the trailhead.

After getting off the bus, we quickly had breakfast and started. We walked along the flat path of the trolley, and then it was finally time to climb. We were able to see the main attractions like Wilson's stump, the Great Cedar, and Jomon Cedar.

Although it was early June, the temperature wasn't too hot, and there weren't many bugs. The natural beauty of Yakushima was truly stunning, making the climb enjoyable.

Our guide, Mr. Mitsuhashi, was a bit strict (maybe?), but thanks to that, I was reminded of the challenges of mountain climbing, which made me more focused. He was also very knowledgeable, and by listening to his stories, I learned about the history of the spots we visited, the greatness of Jomon Cedar, and what kind of island Yakushima is. This added a lot of value to the experience.

He actively suggested angles and poses for photos, which made it fun. Thank you very much!

I exceeded the character limit in the advice section, so here’s more… Regarding the drinks mentioned in the packing list, it said about 500ml. Since I tend to get thirsty more easily than others, I brought 1 liter, which was two 500ml bottles. However, I found that there were natural water supply spots in Yakushima, and I ended up not needing to drink from my bottles, making them extra weight. So, as mentioned, one bottle is sufficient! However, if someone is a bit of a germaphobe and is hesitant about drinking natural water directly, they might need to prepare accordingly.

Also, while it can be cold at the summit, it gets hot when you're moving, so I thought a heavy jacket might not be necessary.

6月初旬参加・お弁当昼のみ注文・山登り初心者

ベルトラで調べていて1人参加できるところがかなり少なく…。
予約してもリクエストキャンセルをされやっと予約できたのがこのツアー。本当にありがたかったです。

前日の大雨から飛行機も欠航、こちらのツアーも中止の恐れがあるとのことでヒヤヒヤしておりましたが当日は雨のち曇で無事トレッキングをすることができました。

早朝にホテル近くまでお迎えの大型バスが来て、注文した人は途中お弁当屋さんでお弁当を受け取り、そのまま登山口まで。

バスを降りたあと、早速朝食を食べて開始です。
トロッコの平たんな道をひたすら歩いたあと、いよいよ登り。メインであるウィルソン株や大王杉、縄文杉…等見ることができました。

6月のはじめではありましたが気温もそこまで暑くはなく、虫もそこまでいなかったこと、また屋久島の自然は本当に綺麗で登っていて気持ちがよかったです。

ガイドの三橋さんは少しスパルタ(？笑)ではありましたが、そのおかげで山登りの厳しさを改めて知り気が引き締まりましたし、
知識も豊富で、お話を聞くことによりそのスポットの歴史やこれから向かう縄文杉のすごさ、また屋久島という島がどういう島であるのか勉強になり、この体験にたくさんの付加価値をつけてくださりました。

写真撮影等も角度やポーズの提案など積極的にしてくださり楽しかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

アドバイス欄では文字数オーバーしたので、
こちらに…
持ち物にある飲み物、500ml程度とのことで
私は普段から人より喉が乾きやすいので、勝手に500ml×2本の1リットルを持って行ってました。
そうしたら屋久島では天然の給水スポットがあり、むしろそちらが飲またくなり完全はなお荷物になりました。
なので記載の通り一本で充分です！
ただわからないですが潔癖症とかで天然の水をそのままはちょっと…と思う方はやはり用意が必要かとしれません。

また登頂は寒くはありますが、動いている時は暑くなるため、上着もそこまでしっかりいらないかなと思いました。

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama were both wonderful, and I truly felt their status as World Heritage Sites. However, regarding this program, I didn't feel much meaning in signing up for it. The tour guide seemed to be doing their best, but both the content of the guidance and their English proficiency felt quite lacking.

I have experienced several tours with Veltra and other companies overseas in the past, all of which were fulfilling, so I had high expectations this time as well. Unfortunately, the explanations were very minimal and superficial. Even regarding the gassho-zukuri (thatched-roof houses), there was only a mention that they were old houses, without any details like how many years ago they were built or what "gassho" means.

Moreover, while more than half of the participants were inbound tourists, it seemed that even for simple questions, they struggled to understand English, despite having memorized parts of their script. There were frequent basic grammatical errors (such as using present participles in imperative sentences, using past tense where future tense should be, confusing 15 with 50, etc.), and in the end, even the inbound tourists were left chuckling awkwardly.

Honestly, I think that for those who understand the language, it would be easier and cost about half as much to take a regular bus instead of this tour. It's very disappointing because I believe the location itself is worth visiting.

白川郷、五箇山はいずれも素晴らしく、さすがは世界遺産だと感じました。
ただこのプログラムについて言えば、これに申し込んだ意味はあまり感じられないものでした。添乗の方は、一生懸命ではあったと思いますが、案内の内容も英語力も、いずれもかなり物足りなく感じました。
過去のベルトラのツアーも、他社のプログラムも、何度か海外で経験しておりどれも充実していたので今回も期待していたのですが、とてもわずかな通り一遍の説明しかありませんでした。合掌造りについても昔の家というだけで、たとえば何年前くらいとか、合掌とはどういう意味かなどすら説明がありませんでした。
また、インバウンドの方が半数以上でしたが、おそらく覚えてきた原稿部分はともかく、簡単な質問をされても英語が聞き取れないようでしたし、基本的な文法も明らかな誤り（命令文に現在分子を使う、未来形であるはずのところに過去形を使う、15と50を間違える、など)が頻出し、最後はインバウンドの方も苦笑していました。
正直これなら、日本語がわからない方はともかく、言葉がわかる人はちょっと手間をかけて普通のバスで行く方が半額くらいで済むと思います。
場所自体は訪ねる価値のあるところだと思うだけにとても残念でした。

In the limited time we had in the morning, we were able to efficiently visit various places. The car was spacious, clean, and comfortable.

The guide provided great assistance on-site, and I was very satisfied. It became a wonderful memory of the trip. Thank you very much!

午前中だけの時間の少ないなか、効率よく色々とまわって頂きました。
車も広くて綺麗で快適でした

現地ではガイドもして頂きとても満足でした
旅の良い思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

It was great to see the behind-the-scenes operations of a passenger aircraft, something that is usually not visible. It provides a different experience compared to visiting a hangar.

通常であれば見られない、旅客機を運航する裏側が見られて良かった。格納庫の見学とはまた違った経験が得られる。

Very pleasant night trip from Fukuoka to Fukue island of the Goto island. Nice private cabins with a large window offering beautiful views after the sun starts to rise. Clean and convenient bathrooms nearby. Very reasonable price. I slept well and enjoyed the 9 hours trip (from 11:30 pm to 08:30 am approximately).

I'm glad I was able to visit the famous tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. The bamboo grove in Arashiyama was beautiful, and I think I had a great experience as the tour guide took even more wonderful photos for me.

京都の有名観光地を一日で回れて良かったです。嵐山の竹林も素敵でしたが添乗員さんに更に素敵に写真を撮って頂きとても良い体験をして来たと思ってます

The water buffalo was amazing! The lunch at Yufushima was also very delicious. It was great to see mangroves for the first time.

水牛最高でした🐃　由布島でのランチもとても美味しかったです🍽️ 初めて見るマングローブも良かったです。

The highway was closed, so we had to go the opposite way, but the driver and the guide coordinated and we were able to visit all the planned locations. They were great at storytelling and attentive to the customers' needs. I would like to participate in a different course next time. It would have been even better if the guide on the day had clearly communicated the change in the boarding location.

高速が通行止めで逆回りでしたが運転手さんとガイドさんが打ち合わせして予定通りの場所を回ることができました。お話も上手でお客様にも気配りが行き届いてました。また違うコースで参加したいと思います。
乗車場所の変更を当日のガイドさんにしっかり伝わっていたらもっと良かったかな。

I wanted to visit Jomon Sugi, which has been my long-time dream, so I participated in this guided tour for the first time. They pointed out photo spots along the way and took pictures for us. The amount of information provided seems to vary depending on the guide.

I think they try to distribute the number of guests so that no single guide has too many people, but if there’s even one slow person in the group, everyone has to match their pace, which is a matter of luck. If faster people have to adjust to a slower pace, it can be exhausting and not enjoyable. When I made my reservation, there was a section to fill out about my hiking experience and usual activity level, so I thought they would take that into consideration, but I ended up in the same group as complete beginners, which was quite a struggle.

念願だった縄文杉に行きたくて、初めてだったので本ガイドツアーに参加
所々で写真スポットを教えてもらえ、写真も撮ってもらえます。
情報量はガイドさんによってバラバラっぽいです。

おそらく1ガイドさんに客が多数になりすぎないように分散はしてくれてるのだと思うけど、同グループになった人で1人でも遅い人がいるとその人にペースを合わせることになるので、運です。早い人が遅いペースに合わせると余計に疲れるし、楽しくないですよね。
参加予約時に山登りの経験や普段の運動量を記入する欄があったため、ある程度配慮されているのかと思いましたが、がっつり初心者と同グループになり苦行でした。

My family and I decided to book an Alphard through Veltra from the airport to our hotel (5-hour tour). We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shiro Kawashima as our driver and tour guide. This was our first time visiting Okinawa, and we hadn’t done much planning in advance. Mr. Kawashima took the time to make recommendations for a lunch destination, and show us pamphlets for great spots to check out that were between the airport and hotel. He was an excellent driver, very patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Okinawa. We had such an amazing experience that we decided to book him a couple days later for an 8-hour tour to the aquarium and some other destinations, which was even better. The car was very comfy and would be great for a family of up to 5, I would say. All in all, if you want excellent service, a comfortable ride, and a knowledgeable guide to help you maximize your time in Okinawa, I would highly recommend Mr. Kawashima! Thank you!

It was a trip to Hakodate with my mother and daughter. The driver was familiar with the roads and chose parking spots that were easy to get in and out of, making sightseeing convenient. My mother, who has back issues, found it easy to move around and was happy that it turned out to be an enjoyable trip. Thank you very much.

母と娘と私の三人での函館旅行でした。
ドライバーの方は道も詳しく慣れているので、駐車場も降りやすい場所を選んでくださって観光がしやすかったです。
腰の悪い母も移動が楽で楽しい旅行になったと喜んでくれてくれました。
ありがとうございました。
