All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

While heading to the destination, we enjoyed the various exteriors of the hotels while attracting customers at the resort hotel, and I felt that the guide's smooth chatter, filled with numbers, was quite educational. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was struck by the impression that I mostly heard Chinese. Even though it was before the Lunar New Year, I was overwhelmed by the large crowd. I was satisfied to see the dolphin show despite it being winter. I would like to use this service again.

リゾートホテルで集客しながら目的地に向かうので、様々なホテルの外観も楽しめるし、ガイドさんのよどみないお喋りも数字が多用されて勉強しているなと感じた。美ら海水族館では、中国語ばかりが聞こえていた印象です。春節前でしたがその大人数に圧倒されました。冬なのにイルカショーを見られて満足しました。また利用したいです。

I rode both the North and South lines consecutively. It’s perfect for preliminary research when you don’t have a specific destination in mind. I used it in June, and rather than being open and airy, the sunlight was very hot. Be sure to prepare drinks in advance.

北・南、連続して乗りました。
目的地が定まっていない場合の下調べに丁度良いのでは。
6月に利用しましたが、開放的というより日差しがとても暑かったです。

I was able to make good use of the morning.
I was glad to be taken to the airport.
I think the price is reasonable!
The guide was also very dedicated and shared a lot of information.

午前の時間を有効に使えた。
空港まで送ってもらえてよかった。
価格も手ごろでいいと思います！
ガイドさんも一生懸命いろいろお話ししてくれてました

I received very polite guidance, and I learned a lot. I see, that's why Yakushima is amazing! The more I learn, the more I love the profound Yakushima. I'm glad to have been guided by a man full of love for Yakushima! Thank you very much! ☆

とても丁寧にガイドしていただき
なるほど、だから屋久島ってすごいんだ！
と沢山学びがありました。
知れば知るほど奥深い屋久島がますます好きになりました。
屋久島愛に溢れたおじさんにガイドしていただきよかったです！ありがとうございました☆

This is a tour that covers all the places listed in the guidebook. I wasn't bored thanks to the guide's excellent narration. The stories about the culture of the Yaeyama Islands were fascinating. I thought it might be worth it to include the glass-bottom boat even if the price is a bit higher.

ガイドブックに載っている所は一通り巡るツアーです。ガイドさんの名調子で退屈しませんでした。八重山諸島文化の話は興味が湧きます。多少価格が高くなってもグラスボートも込みでも良いのではと思いました。

They came to pick me up nearby and took me to the airport, and since the flight time was just right, it was the perfect plan for the last day! I was surprised that the bus guide provided so much commentary during the ride! Thanks to that, I gained a lot of knowledge about Okinawa, and I enjoyed the sightseeing even more! I bought and ate the Tannafakuru that the bus guide recommended, and it was super delicious! Thank you very much!

近くまで迎えにきてくれて空港まで送ってくれて、飛行機の時間が調度良かったので、最終日のプランとして最高でした！バスガイドさんがあんなに車中でガイドしてくれるとは思ってなかったので、ビックリしました！そのお陰で沖縄の知識たくさん付いたし、観光がより一層楽しめました！バスガイドさんが教えてくれたタンナファクルー買って食べました、超美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！

This was my first trip to Kyoto. I wanted to visit famous tourist spots like Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, and Fushimi Inari, so I booked this tour that included two of them in the route. It was great that Nijo Castle and Heian Shrine were also on the route, allowing me to visit those as well.

One of the deciding factors was that I would receive a bus ticket to Fushimi Inari, which is not on the route, but this turned out to be quite a challenge. First, the location of the bus stop was difficult for tourists to find. I asked the Sky Hop Bus staff where the bus stop was, and they gave me a vague answer, saying, "I think it's over there." It turned out to be completely wrong. Even when I went to the bus information center, they said they didn't know where it was (I mentioned that the ticket said 6A, but they told me, "There is no 6A"). Just when I thought I finally found it, I discovered that the bus only comes once an hour, and I had just missed it by five minutes. In the end, I had to return to Kyoto Station and take a train to Fushimi Inari. It's not useful to give a bus ticket to tourists who have no sense of direction for a bus that only locals use. I think more consideration is needed.

The Sky Hop Bus itself isn't bad, but considering it only goes around a relatively small area for 3,600 yen, I feel it's a bit expensive. While the double-decker bus allows for enjoying the scenery, it may be good for foreigners, but there’s hardly any reason for Japanese people to choose this bus.

初めての京都旅行でした。有名な観光地である金閣寺、清水寺、伏見稲荷には行きたいと思い、そのうちの２つがルートにあったこちらを予約させて頂きました。二条城と平安神宮もルートにあったのでついでに行けたのは良かったです。
ルートにはない伏見稲荷に行くバスチケットも貰えるとの事だったのでそれも決め手の１つだったのですが、これが大変でした。まずこのバスの停留所の場所が観光客にはわかりにくい。スカイホップバスのスタッフさんにバス停の場所を聞いたのですが、「多分あちらだと思います」と言う曖昧な回答。しかも全く違う場所でした。バスの総合案内所に行ってもわからないと言われる程でした(チケットに６Ａとありましたので、それを伝えましたが「６Ａなんてないですよ」と言われた)。やっとの思いで見つけたと思ったら、なんとそのバスが1時間に一回しか来ず、私が見つけた時は5分前に出発した後でした。結局京都駅に戻って電車に乗って伏見稲荷まで行くはめになりました。土地勘のない観光客に地元の人しか乗らないようなバスのチケットを渡されても使いようがありません。もう少し配慮が必要だと思います。
スカイホップバス自体は悪くはないですが、そんなに広くない範囲をくるっと周るだけで3600円という事を考えるとちょっと高いと感じます。
二階建てバスで景観を楽しめるので、外国人にはいいかもしれないですが、日本人がこのバスに選ぶ意味はほぼないですね。

It was very nice, relaxing day with beautiful views and tasty lunch. We had such a nice and funny guide, who spoke perfect english and took great care of us. There was enough time at each place we have visited. Good value for this price, highly recommend the trip.

My daughter caught the flu the day before her school trip, so she couldn't go to Nara and Kyoto. Therefore, I planned a revenge school trip to Nara just for her this time. To make the most of our time, we signed up for this tour on the second day. Both the guide and the driver were very kind, accommodating us even during traffic jams, and they lent us umbrellas during a sudden rain. We also received a Bambi mascot as a souvenir for the kids. The tour was quite rushed, almost like a sprint, but I realized that without this pace, we wouldn't have been able to see so much. Overall, I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

娘が修学旅行の前日にインフルエンザになり、行くことが出来なかった奈良京都。そこで、今回は奈良に絞って娘のためにリベンジ修学旅行を計画しました。
効率よく回るために2日目にこのツアーに申し込みました。渋滞時の対応含めガイドさんも運転手さんも親切にしてくださり、急な雨にも傘を貸してくれたりしました。子供のお土産にバンビのマスコットも頂きました。かなり時間的に慌ただしく小走りのようなツアーでしたが、このくらいでないとあれだけ回れないんだなーと思いました。全体的に満足です。ありがとうございました。

I was always mindful of the meeting times, so I couldn't take my time to look around. Considering the packed schedule for one day, I think it's a good deal. However, I believe it would be easier to navigate Pineapple Park with a tour guide. It may not be very large, but I got lost along the way.

常に集合時間を気にして動いたのであまりゆっくり見れてはいないです。
これだけスケジュールを1日で回ることを考えたらお得だと思います。
ただ、パイナップルパークは添乗員さんがついて回ったほうがわかりやすいと思います。広くはないかもしれないですが途中でどこへ行ったらわからなくなりました。

I had been using hop-on hop-off buses at tourist spots in Europe, so I was excited to see them finally available in Japan! I made a reservation right away. This time, it was a mini trip alongside a training session, and I was able to enjoy the city of Kyoto from a high vantage point while listening to the audio guide through my headphones. I also took a lot of snap photos, so it was definitely more worthwhile than just taking a regular bus.

I had decided on my points of interest in advance, so I was able to combine the bus and train and cover quite a bit of ground. However, it was a bit lonely since there were many foreign tourists using it. It's definitely convenient, so if you visit Kyoto, I highly recommend giving it a try!

ヨーロッパの観光地で以前から乗り降り自由バスを利用していたので日本にもついに登場したか～！って予約しちゃいました。
今回は研修のついでのミニトリップでしたが、イヤホンで観光ガイドも聴きながら京都の街を高い目線から眺められるし、ついでにスナップ写真もたくさん撮れましたよ～なので普通のバスでまわるより絶対お得です。
事前にポイントを決めておいたので、バスと鉄道を組み合わせて結構まわれました。
ただ、利用していたのは外国人が多かったのが少し寂しかったです。
絶対、便利ですので京都に行かれる際は是非利用してみてくださいね～

This tour is highly recommended! I wanted to do some sightseeing in the northern area even though I didn't have a car, so I signed up for this tour. It was really great, so I truly recommend it!

It was okay to change the pick-up and drop-off locations, so I joined from a hotel near my accommodation and was dropped off at the prefectural office on the way back, which allowed me to use my time effectively.

The sightseeing spots were all places I wanted to visit, and I was impressed by the large aquarium at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and enjoyed the dolphin show. The weather wasn't great on Kouri Island, so I couldn't see the sparkling blue sea, but I want to challenge it again next time.

We also stopped at places where I could buy purple sweet potato tarts, pineapple liquor, and snacks, making it a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much. I would love to participate again!

かなりおすすめツアーです！
車がないけど、北部の観光がしたい！となり、このツアーに申し込みました。かなり良かったので、ほんとオススメです！
行き帰りの送迎場所を変えてもオッケーだったので、宿泊地のホテル近くから参加し、帰りは県庁で降ろしてもらえ、時間を有効に使えました。
観光地は行きたいところばかりで、美ら海水族館の大きな水槽には感動し、イルカショーも楽しめました。古宇利島では天気が良くなかったので、キラキラした青い海は見えなかったですが、次回またチャレンジしたいと思います。紅芋タルトやパイナップルのお酒、お菓子を買えるところにも寄れて、大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。また、ぜひ参加させてください！！

I was able to get there relatively easily. It was tough because it started to rain, but the forest, wet from the rain, was very beautiful.

比較的簡単にたどり着きました。
雨が降ってきて大変だったけど、雨で濡れた森はとても美しかったです。

It was tough walking the whole way, but I was able to see deer and monkeys, and I was moved by the large trees along the path, so I enjoyed it without getting bored. The fog was so thick that I couldn't see Jomon Sugi clearly, but it was divine and amazing.

ひたすら歩いて大変だったけど、鹿や猿を見つけたり、道中にある大木に感動したり、飽きることなく楽しめました。
霧がすごくて縄文杉をはっきり見ることはできなかったけど、神々しくて最高でした。

My friends and I enjoyed this full day tour offered by Veltra. We did not rent a car during our trip to Okinawa (and in Okinawa, if is very difficult to move around without a car) so we found the bus service very convenient. We were picked up at our hotel in Chatan which was very convenient as well. Not to mention that this tour made us go to different tourist spots in Okinawa at a very affordable price!

Booking this tour went smooth as well. We did not have any planned itinerary for our Okinawa trip due to our pretty busy schedule but we’re glad we found this online. We booked our tour a day before our scheduled trip (luckily they still have available slots!). Everything went fine and smooth, our trip was confirmed shortly.

We had a pleasant time during the trip. We were able to pass through some of the beautiful beaches in Okinawa. The Churaumi Aquarium experience was also great. We had fun watching the dolphin show. Too bad though we lack time to tour the entire park.

The tour guide does not speak English but we can see her effort to guide us in any way possible. We did not have any problem with communication at all since there is an English audio inside the bus.

Would definitely recommend this tour to my family and friends who will visit Okinawa in the future. :)

The round-trip ferry from Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island, along with the water buffalo cart and the island sightseeing bus, allowed us to get off at Kaiji Beach, making our time very worthwhile.

石垣島から竹富島までの往復船と竹富島での水牛車、島内観光バスでは、カイジ浜での下車もでき、時間を有意義に使えました。

When I arrived at the meeting place and said my name, I was confirmed as Japanese. Even though I have a Japanese name... After a while, I realized there were participants from Indonesia and China; indeed, at first glance, you can't tell just by their faces and how they speak. There were only two Japanese people, a couple. After the Japanese part, the guide spoke in English, and it felt like I was in Japan but not really in Japan, and I enjoyed the tour. At the end in Arashiyama, the timing for the Shinkansen reservation was a bit tight, so we disbanded individually on-site, but it was fun.

集合場所に行って名前を言ったら日本人ですよねと確認されました。日本名なのに・・・としばらくしたらインドネシア、中国からの参加者なるほど顔と喋りだけじゃ一見わからん。日本人は２人夫婦だけでした∩^ω^∩。日本語の後に英語でガイド日本にいるが日本じゃない感じでツアー楽しめました。最後の嵐山では新幹線予約時間にビミョーだったので個別現地解散しましたが楽しかったです。

Thank you for providing this transportation option, especially for those who want to see the most of Kyoto in a short amount of time. The price was great as well. Your service provided maximum flexibility. We will recommend to those we hear are visiting Kyoto in the future. Arigatougozaimasu!

I went trekking in early January. The weather was clear. Since it was right after the winter break, the area was very quiet, and I was able to climb at a leisurely pace, almost having the place to myself. I had previously climbed to the Forest of the Mononoke in September, and this time I climbed to Taiko Rock. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared stories from the locals, making for a very enjoyable experience. The mossy forest was beautiful, with sunlight filtering through in places due to the clear weather.

When I reached Taiko Rock, the clear weather provided a fantastic view, and I couldn't help but shout "Yahoo!" It was great to learn that there are certain directions where the echo comes back easily. The guide even showed me poses for taking recommended photos and listened to me as if it were a life consultation. Thank you so much for that! I would love to climb again someday during the cherry blossom season.

1月上旬にトレッキングしました。天気は晴れ。冬休み明けだったこともあり、非常にすいていてほとんど独占状態でゆっくり登ることができました。白谷雲水峡は９月に一度もののけの森まで登っており、今回は太鼓岩まで登りました。ガイドの方が非常に詳しく、地元の方の話まで交えながら教えてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。晴れていたことで、苔むす森も所々光が射していてとても美しかったです。
たどり着いた太鼓岩は天気が晴れだったこともあり、非常に見晴らしがよく、思わず「やっほー！」と叫んでしまいました。やまびこが返ってきやすい方向があるようなので教えてもらえて良かったです✨あちこちでおすすめの写真を撮るポーズまで教えてくださったり、半ば人生相談のようなことまで聞いてくださったり本当にありがとうございました。またいつか桜の咲く季節に是非のぼってみたいと思います。

I recently participated in a tour of Sefa Utaki. They took us early in the morning, and there were few people, so I was able to take beautiful photos.
A separate admission fee of 300 yen is required.
I also enjoyed Okinawa World. An admission fee and other costs are necessary.
I was able to take a photo with the white snake (1,000 yen) and I was glad to finally buy a white snake skin. I have it in my wallet.
It was my first time in Okinawa. For those who cannot drive or who will be drinking alcohol, I think joining a tour is a good option.
Thank you very much.

先日、斎場御嶽のツアーに参加しました。朝、早くから連れて行ってもらい、人が少なくて写真もきれいにとれました。
別途入場券300円が必要です。
おきなわワールドも楽しめました。入場券他代金が必要です。
白蛇と写真(1000円)取れて、念願の白蛇の皮も買えてよかったです。財布に入れてます。
初めての沖縄でした。車の運転ができない方や酒類を呑まれる方は、ツアーに参加するのもいいかと思います。
ありがとうございました。

A wonderful trip.We were fetched on time. Very professional guide, she was with us all the way and made sure everyone was ok.informative talks about the various places we visited. We were fortunate to see Mt Fuji clearly. The cable car was excellent and so was the boat ride. not much places to eat at the lunch place so maybe take the lunch option.or take your own snacks and meals.weather didnt permit us to go to 5th station but we got views from the ropeway.
Just a note to future travellers,please be at the designated spot on time otherwise it wastes a lot of time trying to locate all the passengers.

On the day of the tour, the weather forecast turned out to be accurate, and it was cloudy in the morning. However, at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we were hit by heavy rain and couldn't see the show. At the next spot, we faced a storm with winds strong enough to almost break our umbrellas. But since we couldn't expect good weather in advance, I think participating in the tour allowed us to make the most of our valuable time even in bad weather. Both the driver and the guide were very kind. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

当日は天気予報が当たってしまい、朝のうちは曇り空でしたが、美ら海水族館では大雨に見舞われてショーも見れず、その次のスポットでは傘も折れそうなほどの暴風雨に見舞われてしまいました。でも、あらかじめ天候には期待できなかったので、逆にツアーに参加したおけげで、悪天候でも貴重な滞在日を有意義に過ごせたのだと思います。運転手さんもガイドさんも、とても親切でした。また機会があったら利用したいと思います。

It was great to learn about the history of Gunkanjima at the meeting point.

On the way to Gunkanjima by boat, the waves were strong and the boat was rocking quite a bit. Even I, who usually don’t get seasick, felt a little queasy. Those going in winter should be careful.

After about 50 minutes on the boat, we reached Gunkanjima. Due to the typhoon, the pier was damaged, so we couldn't land, but even from the boat, the magnificence of Gunkanjima was evident. We circled the island, and the boat stopped at photo points, allowing us to take many pictures.

Although we couldn't land, I was satisfied. I hope to visit again when I can actually set foot on the island.

　集合場所で軍艦島の歴史について学べるので，とてもよかったです。
　船に乗って軍艦島に向かう途中・・・波が強くて船がとても揺れます。船酔いしない私も少し船酔い気味になりました。冬に行く人は気を付けてください。
　５０分ぐらい船に乗って，軍艦島へ。台風の影響で桟橋が壊れ，上陸はできませんでしたが，船の上からでも軍艦島のすごさが伝わってきます。島を一周しますが，写真を撮るポイントで船を止めてくれます。たくさんの写真が撮れました。
　上陸はできませんでしたが，満足でした。次は上陸できるときに伺いたいです。

I was looking forward to Pineapple Park just as much as Churaumi Aquarium, but it turned out to be just a stop for shopping. I was disappointed because I thought there would be more to see and do.

美ら海水族館と同じ位に楽しみにしていたパイナップルパークがただのお買物のみの立ち寄りでした。
もっと色々見て回れるのだと思っていたため残念です。

I participated in the tour because driving to the northern part on my own seemed challenging, but the time spent at each sightseeing spot was just right for me, allowing for a leisurely exploration.

Cape Hedo was breathtaking. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was a bit disappointed to have arrived late and only saw the dolphin show from outside the venue, but everything else was satisfying. In the end, I enjoyed the sunset from the car window.

I prefer a tour like this, which focuses on specific destinations, rather than moving between many sightseeing spots in a short amount of time.

自力で北部まで運転して行くのは大変そうだったので参加しましたが、各観光場所での滞在時間が私にはちょうどよく、ゆっくり観光することができて良かったです。
辺戸岬は絶景の一言。大石林山は一番長いコースをじっくり見て回ることができ、美ら海水族館は、到着が送れてイルカショーの会場の外から見たのがちょっと残念でしたが、それ以外は満足でした。最後は車窓から見る日没まで楽しみました。
短い滞在時間でたくさんの観光場所を移動するより、こういう行き先を絞った余裕のあるツアーがいいです。

The mangroves on Iriomote Island are quite rare, so I recommend visiting. To get to Yubu Island, you travel back and forth on a water buffalo cart, and they enhance the experience with stories and performances on the sanshin. After having lunch and seeing the butterfly garden and Manta Beach, we ran out of time. On Taketomi Island, we did some sightseeing with a glass-bottom boat and a water buffalo cart, but we couldn't visit places like Hoshi no Suna Beach, which disappointed the kids. I wish we had more free time on Taketomi Island. Although we had various experiences arranged for us, the schedule was quite packed, so I think it's good to carefully consider which tour to choose.

Lastly, regarding lunch, the children's meal was supposed to be chosen on-site, but we were guided to a prepared table, and in the end, the child could hardly eat anything, and we ended up just paying for it. I did check with the staff, but they seemed busy, so I think it was a mistake.

西表島のマングローブは中々見られないのでお勧めです。由布島へは水牛車に引かれて往復しますが、お話や三線の演奏があったりと気分を盛り上げてくださいます。お昼を食べて蝶々園とマンタの浜を見たら時間切れでした。竹富島ではグラスボードと水牛車での島内観光でしたが、星の砂の浜等には行かれず、子供が残念がっていました。せめて竹富島は自由時間が欲しかったかなー。おまかせで色々な体験ができましたが、かなり詰め込んだ日程ですので、どのツアーにするのか吟味するのが良いと思います。

最後に昼食ですが、子供の食事は１人分現地で選ぶ事になっていましたが、用意された席へ案内され、結局子供はほとんど食べられず、料金だけ支払うことになりました。係りの方には確認をしたのですが、忙しそうでしたので間違えたのだと思います。

It was my first time on an Okinawa tour, and I had a fulfilling time from morning until evening! Thank you very much.

When I go to Okinawa again, I will participate in a different tour.

沖縄ツアー初めてでしたが
朝から夕方まで満喫充実した時間を過ごせました!!ありがとうございました

また沖縄に言った際は違うツアーに参加しますね

Overall it was a good trip. Service was good and the staffs are very helpful. We was informed it was snowing at Mt.Fuji, the tour guide keep us informed on the situation whether we able to goes up atleast station 2 but unfortunately we could not make it. Although it was sad unable to see Mt.Fuji, but the base was amazing covered with the snow.

Lake Ashi amazing again no luck to see Mt.Fuji view due to rain and cloudy.

For my niece, this trip is memorable and her dream comes true for able to see snow.

The illumination at Nakanoshima had ended, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. The bus made it hard to see due to the window frames. It seemed beautiful from the front, but I was seated in the middle (>_<). I lined up early for the seats, but they were predetermined. If I had taken the Hanshin Expressway to Harukas via the loop line, it might have been a bit more impressive.

中之島のライトアップが終わっていたので、物足りない感じでした。バスも窓枠が邪魔で見にくかった。正面からは綺麗そうだったが、座席は真ん中で(>_<)。座席も早く並んだが、予め決められていました。阪神高速も環状線でハルカスまで行けば少しは感動があったかも。
