All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

In the half-day course in the afternoon, we toured by glass-bottom boat, bus, and water buffalo cart. It rained quite a bit, but I enjoyed it thanks to the guide's explanations. I think the character of the water buffalo, Tomi, was something special. The self-driving water buffalo cart was quite advanced as well.

午後からの半日コース、グラスボート、バス観光、水牛車で回りました。雨が結構降りましたが、ガイドさんの説明で楽しめました。水牛のトミくんのなんとも言えないキャラクターが良かったと思います。それにしても自動運転水牛車は先進的でした。

Although the duration of each stay was short, thanks to our bus guide, we were able to learn about recommended souvenirs and get a grasp of the must-see spots. Since the lunch break is short, if you want to buy souvenirs as well, you need to eat quickly, so I recommend ordering your lunch in advance. I think the Churaumi Aquarium allows for enough time to see the exhibits. At Nago Pineapple Park, you can ride a cart to explore the grounds and visit the botanical garden, but since the stay was only about 30 minutes, we only had time to look at souvenirs. For those visiting Okinawa for the first time, it's a great way to quickly visit the tourist spots!

1つ1つの滞在時間が短かったですが、バスガイドさんのお陰でおススメのお土産が分かったり、おススメスポットを把握することができました。お昼ご飯の時間は短いのでお土産もかおうとなると急いで食べないといけないので事前に案内されるお昼を頼んでおくことをお勧めいたします。美ら海水族館は水族館を見るのに十分な時間かと思います。ナゴパイナップルパークではカートに乗って園内散策や植物園の見学もできますが滞在時間が30分ほどでしたので、お土産を見る時間しかありませんでした。沖縄が沖縄が初めての方には観光スポットにさくっと行けてオススメです！

We loved our tour guide, Ami. She was very informative, answered all our questions, and took good care of us throughout the tour from pickup to drop off.

On the tour itself, get the blueberry soft serve at the first stop, it was delicious! Lunch was good, however, the ninja show is for kids, not really for adults and was mostly in Japanese so don't think it's worth the extra cost. Beautiful views of mt Fuji at all stops which was great. The simulator ride was fun too.

A number of the places took cash only, so make sure you have Japanese yen on you, we missed out on some shopping because we didn't.

We got back at a very decent time to the city so we appreciated that as well.

The tour was worth spending money. They cover many things. The guide of tour Mr KC was very good, well informed and sense of humor. Tour covered many things with enough time spending at each location. I am so happy that I decided to take this tour.

I was a bit worried about making a reservation easily with a credit card, but the tour exceeded my expectations and was truly wonderful. I was really moved by the night view of Osaka from the top of the open-top double-decker bus. I sincerely thank the guide and the driver.

カード決済で手軽に予約できて、それはそれで本当に大丈夫かと不安でしたが、予想以上期待以上に素晴らしいツアーでした。屋根だけない二階建てバスの上から見下ろす大阪の夜景に本当に感動しました。ガイドさんと運転手さんに心からお礼申し上げます。

The water buffalo walking experience was perfect for families with children. The transportation was smooth, which was great. The cost performance was excellent, and I highly recommend it.

水牛の散歩体験など、子連れにはベストでした。また移動もスムーズでよかったです。
コスパは十分あり、オススメです。

Due to the large number of participants, we split into two buses: one for Japanese and one for foreigners. At Shirakawa-go, we had plenty of free time to explore, but since the kids got bored, it would have been nice to visit another location. The lunch was delicious, and the rice cracker baking experience was also a lot of fun. The guide's insights were valuable, and I’m glad I joined the tour instead of going on my own.

参加者が多かったため日本人のバス、外国人のバスと分かれて2つのバスで出発。白川郷ではたっぷり自由時間があり散策できましたが子供が飽きてしまったので、もう一箇所別の場所を観光できると良かったかな。昼食も美味しかったですし、おせんべい焼き体験も大満喫でした。
ガイドさんのお話もためになり、個人で行くよりツアーに参加して良かったです。

The conductor was friendly, and it was a fun trip. Shirakawa-go is best accessed by bus. Thank you very much.

コンダクターさんも気さくで楽しい旅になりました。白川郷はバスで行くのが一番ですね。ありがとうございました。

I made a last-minute reservation just two days before the tour, but I was well taken care of, which made me feel at ease before departure! The timing of the tour was perfect, and we were able to enjoy the main attraction, the Churaumi Aquarium, at a leisurely pace. After visiting the aquarium, we spent time at the beach on the premises, which was quiet and allowed us to truly relax while listening to the sound of the ocean. The guide was very kind and provided information about Okinawa's history, photo spots, and driving spots at each stop! It's definitely more economical than renting a car for sightseeing! It was truly a wonderful trip to Okinawa. Thank you!

ツアー2日前でギリギリの予約でしたが、しっかりとご対応いただき出発前から安心できました！
ツアーは時間配分も完璧で、メインの美ら海水族館もゆっくりと鑑賞できました。私たちは水族館鑑賞後、敷地内にあるビーチで過ごしましたが、人も少なく海の音を感じられ本当にリラックスできました。
ガイドさんも沖縄の歴史や写真スポット、ドライブスポット等、その都度案内してくださりとても親切な方でした！
レンタカーを借りて観光するよりもかなりお得です！本当にたのしい沖縄の旅となりました。ありがとうございました！

I participated with my elderly parents. The young guide was enthusiastic and made it enjoyable. Since it was a shared tour, there were two male solo travelers and one female foreign guest, but thanks to the guide, we all bonded well. The transportation service was also a deciding factor for me. I appreciated the consideration for restroom breaks at the observation deck for stargazing. Thank you very much.

高齢の両親を連れての参加。
若いガイドさんが、盛り上げてくれて、楽しかったです。
乗合でしたので、
男性一人旅２名、女性の外国の方１名、と若いメンバーでしたが、
ガイドさんのおかげでまとまりました。
送迎もしていただけたのが、決め手でもあります。
星を観るための展望台でのトイレタイムの配慮もいただけ、
有難うございます。

Unfortunately the weather was not great so we were not able to see Mt. Fuji during this trip. However, the trip was eventful overall. Our guide Shiho-san was excellent. She was attentive and friendly. The lunch was delicious with chicken hotpot and buffet. You get to take a picture with a ninja during lunch. There wasn't enough time to actually explore the ninja village. We were only there for lunch, souvenirs, and washrooms. Make sure you check the weather before booking the trip.

The bus guide contacted the zoo directly to inquire about the day's situation as soon as the zoo opened. Additionally, they provided clear explanations about the local history while we were on the road, which made the scenery feel different and more engaging. I think this is one of the advantages of a bus tour.

動物園の開演時間と同時にバスガイドさんが車中から当日の状況を直接動物園へ問い合わせしてくれました。また走行中の地方の歴史をわかりやすく説明してくれたので、見る景色もひと味違って見ることができました。バスツアーの利点だと思います。

The tour was really fun with a lot of great places to visit and see along the way. I especially loved the aquarium but would’ve appreciated some more time there since it’s the biggest one out of all of the tourist attraction points. The bus tour guide was very friendly and they were also very patient as to wait for everybody to come back before departing.

I really enjoyed the places that we went to but didn’t realize that they took so much time to enjoy and walk through. Especially if you want to go and shop after the activity there wasn’t much time to shop at all. They did mention the big market as an alternative but it can be quite hard to find things you would at the attraction.

I think they could’ve been more accurate with the description of the bus as it said “blue bus with an aquarium logo” but what showed up was a beige bus with a orange and green stripe through the middle so me and other tour goers actually couldn’t find it for 20+ minutes.

If you’re looking for a fast paced tour to see a lot of things then this is probably the tour for you. But I was kind of hoping for more time to shop and be able to actually read the information about things.

If you are in Kanazawa and wish to explore Shirakawago, this tour is it.
The tour departs from the JR Kanazawa station Bus terminal.
The tour was held in both Japanese and English.
I must commend the tour guide who spoke excellent English and very informative about Kanazawa and the tour destinations.
The lunch at the Shirakawago was very tasty.
After lunch, we visited Ainokura Village, which was much smaller, less crowded but equally attractive.
I highly recommend the tour to everyone.

The team we joined originally had a reservation for seven people, but due to the weather not being suitable for stargazing, everyone canceled, and it was just me and my two sons who participated. However, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and even found and caught a coconut crab to show us. He was very agile and caught many creatures to show us.

The guide was lively and caught a lot of creatures, which made my first-grade son very happy! Although we couldn't see the stars, I was glad we didn't cancel.

The guide was truly great, and I heard that the tour company has other plans, so when I looked it up, I was surprised to see that all the ratings on Veltra were high. I would like to join other tours here the next time I come to Ishigaki Island!

私たちが参加したチームは、もともと7人の予約があったそうですが、星空が見えない天気で、みんなキャンセルし、私と息子２人だけで参加しました。が、ガイドさんが本当に物知りで、ヤシガニも見つけて捕まえて見せてくれて、すごくフットワーク軽くたくさんの生き物を捕まえては、見せてくれました。
ガイドさんが生き生きとして、生き物をたくさん捕まえて見せてくれるので、小学１年生の息子も大喜び！星空は見えなかったけど、キャンセルしなくてよかったと思いました。
本当にいいガイドさんだったので、このツアーの会社の他のプランもあるときいたので、調べてみたら、このveltra内の評価がどれも高くてびっくりしました。次回石垣島に来たときには、ここの他のツアーにも参加したいと思いました！

I was worried about taking my elderly mother on the tour, but the staff were kind and we were able to travel smoothly and enjoyably. The weather was bad, and the glass boat was canceled, but they provided an alternative plan, so we didn't have any downtime. My mother said she didn't feel any discomfort at all and had a great time.

高齢の母を連れてのツアーなので心配でしたが、スタッフの方々も親切でスムーズに楽しく旅行できました。天候が悪く、グラスボートが欠航になってしまったのですが、代案に変えてくださったので時間を持て余すこともありませんでした。
母も全く辛くなかったし、とても楽しかったと話しております。

This was a truly magical experience! We had a great time visiting this amazing Japanese landmark. The staff was excellent and informative. The bus driver did a great job. The bus was spacious and roomy. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Japan

I joined the tour with the purpose of visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, but I was also taken to other scenic and interesting places. Since I’m not confident in driving, it was great to efficiently get around by bus. The guide was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot about Okinawa's history and culture, creating wonderful memories. I also received helpful information about delicious food and souvenirs. I'm glad I participated.

美ら海水族館に行くのが目的で参加したツアーでしたが、他にも景色の良い所や興味深い所に連れて行ってもらいました。車の運転は自信ないので、バスで効率よく回れてよかったです。ガイドさんの説明が上手で、沖縄の歴史や文化についてもよくわかり、いい思い出ができました。美味しいものやお土産情報も教えてもらえて参考になりました。参加してよかったと思います。

I had to stand in line with other customers just to exchange the voucher for tickets, and it would have been better to wait until the bus arrived to line up, but instead, I stood there for about 15 minutes doing nothing. The bus guide kept explaining disclaimers like "In case of bad weather, the highway may be closed and the trip could be canceled," but for some reason, he was smiling half-heartedly while doing so, which was irritating. I wanted to sleep during the journey, but the bus guide kept talking and it was noisy. Next time, I will use a different mode of transportation.

バウチャーとチケットを引き換えるだけに他の客と同じ列に並ぶ必要があったり、バスが来てから並べばいいのに来るまで15分くらいひたすら立って待つだけなどひたすら段取りが悪い。
バスガイドも「悪天候で高速道路が閉鎖されると中止する場合があります」などの免責事項をなぜかずっと半笑いで説明するのでイラッとした。
道中も寝たいのにバスガイドがひたすら話していてうるさかった。
次からは他の交通手段で行く

My first visit to Shirakawa-go was the day after the first snowfall, and there was a light dusting of snow remaining. The beautiful mountains and the stroll around Shirakawa-go became wonderful memories. I was also glad to finally try the gohei mochi that I had wanted to taste.

The souvenirs recommended by the tour guide and the sushi restaurant were all hits, making for a very satisfying trip. Although we traveled by microbus, I think it allowed us to access routes that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Thank you to the driver and the tour guide for all your help.

初めての白川郷。行ったのは初雪の翌日で、薄っすらと雪が残っていました。とても綺麗な山々も、白川郷散策もとてもいい思い出になりました。食べてみたかった五平餅も食べれてよかったです。
添乗員さんのお勧めのお土産もお寿司屋さんも、どれも大当たりで、大満足の旅になりました。
マイクロバスでしたが、マイクロバスだからこそ行けるコースだと思いました。
ドライバーさん、添乗員さん、お世話になりました。

I came to visit from the Kanto region. The autumn leaves in Kyoto were beautiful, but the shining illumination of Midosuji, along with the guide's friendly explanations, made me feel like I truly enjoyed the city of Osaka. The bus also took us through the Hanshin Expressway, which was quite impressive.

関東から遊びに来ました。京都の紅葉も良かったけど、光輝く御堂筋のイルミネーションにガイドさんの親切な説明がついて大阪の街を満喫したかのような雰囲気にさせてくれました。
バスは阪神高速も通り大迫力

It was a beautiful sunny day and the views of Mt Fuji were stunning.
Fumi was a great guide and told a lot about typical Japanese things. We loved it!

It was our first trip to Okinawa with my husband and our university student daughter. I was worried about which bus would stop where at the morning meeting point, but it arrived on time and was unexpectedly almost full. Our friendly, experienced guide provided careful guidance from morning until evening, and we were thrilled to have a performance of Okinawan folk songs and sanshin at the end. The tight schedule and heat were challenging, but we managed to visit most of the famous spots. I was a bit disappointed that our time at the Churaumi Aquarium was a little short and felt rushed.

大学生の娘と主人と家族3人での初沖縄旅行でした。朝の集合場所でどんなバスがどこに停まって乗り込むのかが心配でキョロキョロしていましたが、定刻通りに到着し、予想外にほぼ満席でした。ベテランの感じの良いガイドさんが朝から晩まで丁寧に案内して下さり、最後は沖縄民謡と三線演奏のサービスもあり感激しました。強行軍のスケジュールと暑さに参りましたが、名所はほぼ回れた感じです。美ら海水族館の滞在時間がやや短くて忙しかったのが残念でした。

The temperature wasn't too cold just now, but once I started running, it was indeed chilly. They provided blankets and hand warmers, but while I was taking pictures, my hands and face were freezing. Proper cold weather gear is definitely necessary.

The street trees reflect on the window glass at night, so I couldn't capture them as I wanted, which was disappointing. It might be just right to enjoy them with your eyes.

Lastly, I was told by the guide that the moment you see Midosuji from the highway is a highlight, and they pointed out the viewpoint, but to be honest, it wasn't visible at all. With cars and buses around, it didn't feel like a highlight at all, and I was shocked because I had high expectations. This year, it might just be my imagination, but it felt like there were fewer illuminations near the intersections, possibly due to a lack of light.

If you want to see the night view from Midosuji, it might be a good option.

今ほど気温は寒くなかったものの、走り出すとやはり寒く、膝掛けやカイロを配布してもらったけど、写メを撮っていたら手や顔は極寒。
しっかり防寒対策必要です。
街路樹は、夜になると窓ガラスに反射するので、思うように撮れなかったのが残念。
目で見て楽しむくらいがちょうどいいかも。
最後に高速から一瞬見える御堂筋がハイライトとガイドに言われて、ビューポイントの一瞬をココです！と言ってくれますが、はっきり言って見えません。周りに車やバスがあれば全くハイライトにはならず、期待しただけにショックでした…。今年は気のせいかもですが、交差点付近はひかりがなかったせいか、何となくイルミネーションが少なくなったように感じました。
御堂筋から夜景を通しで見るなら、良いかもしれません。

Fushimi Inari Taisha and Arashiyama were great as it was my first time visiting. Kinkaku-ji is always moving no matter how many times I go. It was disappointing that Kiyomizu-dera had scaffolding set up on the stage due to renovation work. It was nice that lunch and admission fees were included. One downside was that I didn't expect there would be train transfers during the tour, so I had to walk with an umbrella and my luggage, which was a bit challenging. If I had known, I would have left my luggage at the hotel. Lastly, the tour guide who accompanied us that day was a wonderful person, making it a fun and memorable tour.

　伏見稲荷大社と嵐山は初めての観光だったので良かったです。
　金閣寺は何回行っても感動します。
　清水寺は改築工事のため清水の舞台に足場が組んであったのが残念でした。
　昼食、拝観料込みと言うのも良かったです。
　一つ残念だったのは、ツアーで電車移動があるとは思っていなかったので傘を差して荷物を待って歩かなくてはならなっかったのがちょっと大変でした。
知っていればホテルに荷物を預けたのですが。
　最後に当日同行していただいた添乗員さんが大変良い方だったので楽しく思い出に残るツアーとなりました。

The weather was nice, and overall it was a wonderfully meaningful trip. However, it would have been better if we could have taken the bus directly to the dinner cruise at Naha Port. The Emerald Beach was simply amazing. Thank you!

お天気も良く全体的に最高に有意義な旅行でした。ただ最後のディナークルーズの那覇埠頭への移動がバスでそのまま行けたらもっと良かったです。
なんと言ってもエメラルドビーチは素晴らしかった。
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the tour of Masahiro Sake Brewery and the Gangala Valley. At Masahiro Sake Brewery, I was able to taste various strengths of awamori and find the one that suited my taste! Additionally, you can also sample umeshu and vinegar, so even those who are not fond of awamori can join in.

Moreover, I was able to participate in the Gangala Valley tour for 2,200 yen instead of the usual 2,500 yen because I purchased the ticket through a bus company at the last minute! During the tour, there were many mystical spots, and I was particularly amazed by the impressive banyan tree, known as the "moving tree." I highly recommend taking a commemorative photo in front of the large banyan tree when you join the tour!

【まさひろ酒造見学＋ガンガラーの谷】
ツアーに参加しました。
まさひろ酒造見学は、様々な度数の泡盛を試飲させて頂き、自身の好みに合った泡盛を見つける事が出来ました！
また、泡盛だけではなく、梅酒や酢なども試飲出来る為、泡盛が苦手な方でも参加出来ます♪
また、急遽、ガンがラーの谷ツアーにバス会社を経由してチケットを購入した為に、
通常2500円の所を2200円で参加する事が出来ました！ツアー中、神秘的な箇所が多く、中でも動く木と言われているガジュマル木の迫力に驚きました！
是非、ツアーに参加された際には、大きなガジュマルの木の前で記念撮影する事をお薦めします。

We were given the option to pre-order Okinawan soba on the bus ahead of the stop at Okashi Goten. We chose not to order as we wanted to look at other options. When we arrived, the pre-ordered food was ready on the tables. We only had 35 minutes at this stop and as the restaurant was busy we didn’t risk ordering food.

Churaumi Aquarium is lovely and you could easily spend a full day there. I recommend checking the times for the planetarium as we were sad to miss this!

I was most excited for Pineapple Park and had assumed that despite the pineapple cart ticket not being included in the tour, we would still have the opportunity to do it out of our own pocket. This is not the case. Instead we were given a ticket for the “shopping route” which meant we didn’t see ANY of the park and instead spent the 30 minutes walking through a big long gift shop. There was free wine samples but I could’ve done with a full glass after this long day.

The course included Masahiro Sake Brewery and Okinawa World. At Masahiro Sake Brewery, I was able to taste moromi vinegar and awamori, and I enjoyed it even in a short amount of time. The moment I entered the building, the aroma of awamori was amazing.

At Okinawa World, the limestone cave was very beautiful and magical. Above all, I was impressed by the power and high quality of the Eisa performance. The bus guide was a person named Nakama, who mentioned that they were inexperienced, but they were so energetic and cheerful that it didn't feel that way at all, and they made the tour even more enjoyable. Thank you!

まさひろ酒造とおきなわワールドのコースでした。
まさひろ酒造ではもろみ酢や泡盛の試飲ができ、短い時間の中でも楽しむことができました。館内に入った瞬間から泡盛の香りがすごかったです。
おきなわワールドでは、鍾乳洞がとてもきれいで幻想的でした。何よりエーサーの迫力とクオリティの高さに感動しました。
バスガイドさんはナカマさん？という方で、経験が浅いと仰っていましたが、そんなふうには感じないくらいとても元気で明るくて、ツアーをより楽しませていただきました。ありがとうございました！

Ichiro, our guide cum driver was perfect! He speaks fluent English , very knowledgeable , friendly & very obliging to our needs. He even brought us to a very interesting local place for lunch. Our 6 hour private tour was indeed very enjoyable.
