All Reviews for Bus Tours

Due to the impact of the typhoon, it was a day with on-and-off rain. I was able to enjoy my long-awaited visit to Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but it was disappointing that I couldn't go cycling on Taketomi Island because of the rain. I think it would be great if there were options to switch to bus tours or discounts at restaurants for rainy days, allowing for enjoyable plans even when it rains. The tours offered by Beltora are very appealing, and I always make use of them. I'm looking forward to future experiences!

台風の影響もあり　雨も降ったり止んだりの1日でした。念願の西表島　由布島は楽しめましたが、竹富島では雨でサイクリングもする事ができず残念でした。雨の場合はバスツアーに変更や飲食店の割引きなど、雨の日でも楽しめるプランへ変更できるコースがあるといいと思います。ベルトラさんのツアーはとても魅力的なツアーが多くいつも利用させて頂いてます。今後も楽しみにしています。

Although the weather wasn't very good, I was very satisfied that we were able to follow the planned itinerary without any issues. I also enjoyed the beauty of nature, and we were able to visit three islands in one day. The guides on the bus and the sightseeing boat were also very good.

お天気はあまり良くなかったものの、全て予定通りの行程をこなすことができて大満足でした。自然の素晴らしさも満喫できましたし、1日で3島も回ることができ、バスや遊覧船の方のガイドもとても良かったです。

The tour guide provided accurate guidance, allowing us to have an enjoyable time. I also appreciate the driver's safe driving.

添乗員さんが的確に案内をしていただき、楽しく過ごすことができました。
運転手さんの安全運転にも感謝しています。

I went on my first trip to the Hokuriku region. The stories from our bus guide, Mr. Goto, were interesting, and the height of the surrounding mountains along with the autumn leaves were breathtaking.

The food in Shirakawa-go, especially the sweet grilled ayu (sweetfish), was delicious, and even I, who have many dislikes, was able to enjoy everything.

If I have another opportunity, I would like to see Shirakawa-go during a different season as well.

Thank you, Mr. Goto, Ms. Tsuru, and Ms. Kana!

初めての北陸旅行で行きました。
バスガイドの後藤さんの話も面白く、周りの山の高さと紅葉が圧巻でした。

白川郷のご飯は鮎の甘露煮が美味しく、好き嫌いが多い私も全部いただけました。

またの機会があれば別の時期の白川郷も見てみたいです。

後藤さん、ツルさん、カナさんありがとうございました。

I participated in the tour on November 13th. Since my daughter, who lives overseas, was with me, there was an English-speaking guide, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The guide's explanations were very clear, and they also used a number board to show the meeting times, which helped us remember visually. Overall, the tour was very well organized. The free time for exploring Shirakawa-go and Takayama was just right. And above all, the lunch, especially the Hida beef, was incredibly delicious! If anyone is considering this tour, I highly recommend it.

11/13のツアーに参加しました。海外に住む娘も一緒でしたので、英語の通訳ガイドの方もいらっしゃり、よりツアーが楽しめました。ガイドさんのお話、説明もとてもわかりやすく、また集合時間も数字のボードを使って見せてくださったので目でも覚えられて、全体的にとてもオーガナイズされていました。白川郷、高山での自由散策の時間もちょうど良かったです。そして何より飛騨牛を始めとしたランチがとても美味しかったです！
こちらのツアーをご検討されている方いらっしゃいましたら、ぜひおススメしたいです。

It had been several decades since my last school trip to Kyoto, so I wanted to participate in a tour of the classic sightseeing spots. The guide's explanations were clear and attentive, and I appreciated their consideration throughout the tour.

The bus driver was also very pleasant, which made it easy to enjoy the itinerary without any worries. Since I opted for lunch, we had a meal at Kiyomizu-dera, where the tempura was crispy, and I enjoyed traditional Japanese dishes like dengaku and yudofu.

We arrived at Kyoto Station on time for our return, which was great as it didn't interfere with my plans for the rest of the day. Thank you very much for your excellent service.

修学旅行以来、何十年ぶりの京都でしたので、王道観光地巡りをしたくて参加しました。ガイドさんの説明はわかりやすく、気配りも行き届いていました。
またバスの運転手さんも感じが良くて安心して旅程を楽しめました。
昼食付きにしたので、清水寺で食事をしたのですが、天ぷらはサクサク、田楽や湯豆腐など和食を堪能しました。
帰りも時間通りに京都駅に到着したので、そのあとの予定にもひびかずよかったです。
大変お世話になりました。

Inbound tour mainly for Chinese tourists
There were also a few Japanese participants.
The guide was fluent in Japanese.

Due to a road closure from an accident, we couldn't go to the main Shirakawa-go.
Instead, we went to Gujo Hachiman.
No one complained about the cancellation of Shirakawa-go; everyone quietly listened to the explanation, so I felt that all the participants were reasonable people.
The bus company and the guide did everything they could, so while it was disappointing not to visit Shirakawa-go, I was pleased with the experience.
People often say that foreigners lack manners, but everyone was very well-mannered.

中国人メインのインバウンドツアー
日本人も何組かおりました。
ガイドさんは日本語堪能

道路が事故で封鎖になりメインの白川郷には行けませんでした。
代わりに郡上八幡に行きました。
白川郷中止に誰一人、文句言わず静かに説明聞いていたので参加者は皆、常識人だなと
バス会社、ガイドさんも出来る限りのことはしてくれたので白川郷は残念ですが嬉しく思いました。
世間では外国人のマナーが・・・
とか言いますか皆、マナー良かったです。

I thought it would be canceled due to the typhoon, but I was super lucky that it was canceled the day before. I'm really glad it went ahead. The content was great, and I felt reassured!

台風の影響で中止になるかと思ってましたが､超ラッキーで前日は中止でしたが､
催行されて本当によかったです｡
内容も良くて安心しました!

They explained the itinerary changes, and even though they don't primarily support Japanese, they spoke to me in Japanese. Both the guide and the driver were kind and it was great.

行程変更も説明してくれたし、日本語基本対応していないのに日本語で声かけてくれた。ガイドさんもドライバーさんも優しくて良かった

The scenery at Meoto Iwa was nice, so I think it would have been good to have a bit more time there. The swing on the palm tree was a bit disappointing, though.

夫婦岩とかの景色は良かったので滞在時間をもう少しあっても良いかなと
ヤシの木のぶらんことかはちょっと残念な感じだった。

It was an irreplaceable experience. It was unfortunate that there was wind and rain due to the typhoon, but I enjoyed a very delicious lunch with Ishigaki cuisine. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart, and listening to the sanshin performance was a soothing time. I recommend this tour for anyone going to Ishigaki Island.

かけがえの無い経験になりました。
台風で風、雨が降ったのは残念でしたが、昼食は石垣料理でとても美味しく頂きました。
水牛車は初めてでしたが、三線の弾語りも聞けて癒しの時間でした。
石垣島に行く方にはオススメのツアーです。

I participated with my mother, who has difficulty walking. I was very satisfied that we could visit various sightseeing spots in just one day. The tour was aimed at international guests, but most of the participants were Japanese. Our guide, EIKO, was great with her explanations and even took personal photos for us, which was very thoughtful! Since it was just the right season for school trips, I was glad that lunch was included as well. I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

足の悪い母と参加しました。1日でいろんな観光地に行けて大変満足しました。ツアーは海外のお客さん向けですが、日本のお客さんがほとんどでした。ガイドのEIKOさんの説明や個人的に写真を撮ってくれるなどのお気遣いも良かったです！ちょうど修学旅行シーズンだったので昼食も付けておいて良かったです。また機会があれば参加したいです。

I watched the dolphin show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I wish I had a bit more time there. Thank you to the bus guide and the driver! 😊

美ら海水族館でイルカのショーを観ました。もう少し時間があれば良かったのにと残念です。
バスガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました😊

The mangrove cruise passed by in no time, making me forget the passage of time. The water buffalo worked hard to pull the cart to Yubu Island, and they were very clever and diligent. The island was full of plants and connected to the beach, allowing us to have a fun time.

I was disappointed with the buffet for lunch, but the oil soba I tried without expectations was incredibly delicious—was it the magic of shikwasa?

The only downside was the rental bicycles on Taketomi Island; while I could tolerate the worn and rusty ones, the handlebars were crooked, making it very difficult to ride after not cycling for a while.

According to reviews, the fresh mango smoothie at Chirorin Village is the best! I also wanted to try the fresh pineapple smoothie...

マングローブクルーズは時間の経つのも忘れるくらいあっという間に過ぎました。
由布島までは水牛さん達一生懸命に車をひいてくれてとても賢く働き者でした。島内は植物もたくさんあり、ビーチにつながっていて楽しく時間を過ごせました。
昼はビュッフェでがっかりでした、でも期待せずに食べた油そばがすごく美味しかったのはシークヮーサーの魔法？
竹富島でのレンタルサイクルだけが残念、ボロボロでサビてるのは我慢出来るけどハンドルが斜めで久しぶりに自転車乗ったが運転がとてもしにくかったです。
口コミをみてちろりん村での生マンゴースムージーは最高‼︎生パイナップルスムージーも飲んでみたかった…。

I was able to visit many tourist spots in one day. Unfortunately, there were some disappointing parts due to the rain, but I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

多くの観光地を1日で巡ることができました。あいにくの雨で残念な部分もありましたが、雰囲気は十分に味わえました。天気がよければ最高だったと思います。

The day I used it, the weather was nice, and since it was a 2nd-floor open bus, the breeze on my face felt refreshing, and I was able to experience a great sense of freedom.

利用させて頂いた日は、気候も良く2Fオープンバスなので顔にあたる風も爽快でとても開放を感じる事が、できました🌁👌🌁

I participated on a rainy day. It's very convenient that they take you by bus even in the rain. Along the way, the guide shared highlights and explained various sights, and before I knew it, we arrived at our destination.

At the first dinosaur museum, I had plenty of time to look around and buy souvenirs at the end. The next stop, the Hiraizumi Hakusan Shrine, requires quite a bit of walking to reach the main shrine. It was a bit challenging due to the poor footing from the rain. However, the moss and cedar trees created a beautiful and charming atmosphere.

I heard that there have been many bear sightings this year, and there was even a report of one on the approach the day before, which made me a bit nervous as we proceeded. We also had plenty of time here.

The schedule had us returning to Fukui Station in the early afternoon, allowing us to enjoy the morning sightseeing efficiently. The guide was kind and helpful as well.

雨の日に参加しました。
雨でもバスで連れて行ってくれるので大変便利です。
道中ガイドさんが見どころを教えてくださったり、途中に見える各所の説明をしてくださったりしてるうちに目的地へ到着します。
最初の恐竜博物館ではぐるっと全体を見て回って最後にお土産を買う時間も十分ありました。
次の平泉寺白山神社は本社まで結構歩きます。雨で足下が悪い状況でしたので少し大変でした。
苔と杉木立がとても美しく趣ある場所で良かったです。
ただ、今年は熊が多く出るそうで前日も参道で目撃情報がありドキドキしながら進みました。こちらも時間は十分にとってありました。
お昼過ぎに福井駅へ戻ってくるスケジュールで、効率良く午前中観光出来ました。
ガイドさんも親切で良かったです。

I had the experience with six relatives in San Francisco. Everyone was impressed and said it was wonderful. Also, the guide's announcements were polite and enjoyable.

サンフランシスコの親戚6名と一緒に体験させてもらいました。
みんな、素晴らしいと、感激してました。
また、ガイドさんの、アナウンスが、丁寧で、楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple. We were able to see Mount Yotei and efficiently visit the highlights. I thought the last stop at Mitsui Outlet could have been a bit shorter.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。羊蹄山も見ることができ、見どころを効率的訪れることができました。最後の三井アウトレットは、もう少し短くてもいいかなと思いました。

Overall, arranging everything by yourself can be a hassle, but with the bus, ox cart, and boat, everything is taken care of in one go. It allows for efficient travel, includes pick-up and drop-off services, and offers free time, making it highly recommended for first-time visitors.

The boat may lack the luxury compared to other companies, but since you won't be on it for hours, it's not a problem.

One thing to note: the bicycles available for rent are quite worn out. It was mentioned that there would be English guidance, but there was none at all. I applied for the bicycle rental option, and while it clearly stated that those who cannot speak Japanese are not allowed, I inquired whether it would be fine if someone who speaks Japanese accompanied me, and it was indeed fine. It would be better if this information were accurately stated.

とにかく自分で手配したら面倒なのですが、バス、牛車、船、と全て一発です。
効率良く回れ、送迎もあり、自由時間もあり、で、初めて行く方はお勧めします。
船は他社に比べると豪華さに欠けますが、何時間も乗るわけでないので問題なし。

気になった事。
自転車レンタルオプションの自転車はかなりボロいです。
英語ガイダンスあり、と書いてありましたが、全く案内ありませんでした。
自転車レンタルオプションを申し込みましたが、明らかに、日本語できない人は不可、とありますが、日本語が話せる者が同行したら問題ないか問い合わせて、問題ありませんでした。
記載だけなので、正確に記載されていたらもっと良いと思います。

You can efficiently visit all the points you want. The guide was attentive and wonderful, and I enjoyed listening to songs played on the sanshin. The driver also drove safely, making it a fantastic time.

行きたいポイントを効率よく回ってもらえます。
ガイドさん付きでガイドさんのお話が丁寧で素晴らしく三線での歌も聞かせてもらえて楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも安全運転で最高な時間でした。

I was taken to places that are hard to visit on my own, like Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, the Bear Ranch (additional fee), and Noboribetsu! Each stop was brief, so some might feel it wasn't enough time to really explore. For us, it was a fulfilling experience. Thank you!

洞爺湖、昭和新山、クマ牧場（別料金）、登別と自分ではなかなか回れないところに連れて行ってもらいました！
ひとつひとつは時間が短く、じっくり見るには足りない方もいるかも。私たちにとっては充実した時間になりました。ありがとうございます！

Since it was my first trip to Fukui, I decided to use this service to efficiently explore the area by sightseeing bus. I think it would be quite challenging to visit Eiheiji and Ichijodani on your own using public transportation. The bus departs from and arrives at Fukui Station, and a bus guide accompanies you. During the journey, the guide will point out key sights at Eiheiji and the Ichijodani Asakura Clan Ruins, so I recommend paying close attention. The time allocated for visiting each location was just right. I highly recommend this for a first-time trip to Fukui.

初福井旅なので観光バスで効率よく回ろうと思い、こちらを利用しました。
永平寺、一乗谷を公共の交通機関を利用して自力で回るには大変だと思います。
福井駅発着で、バスガイドさんが同行してくれます。
移動中、永平寺や一乗谷朝倉氏遺跡で見学するポイントを教えてくれますので、しっかり聞いておくことをおすすめします。
各所の見学時間はちょうど良い時間とってありました。
初めての福井旅行にはおすすめです。

The weather was nice from the morning, and it was a fun bus tour. The nature of Jozankei and the foot bath were great. The food at the outer market was the best fresh seafood from Hokkaido! The guide's entertaining stories were very enjoyable! ^ ^

朝から天候も良く
楽しいバスツアーでした
定山渓の自然と足湯
場外市場の食事　北海道の鮮魚最高！
ガイドの楽しいお話しとても良かった！

Led by an excellent guide & host this day trip is a great way to do a complete circuit of the island when you don't have a car. Great program of places to stop & get out of the bus. Not too rushed. Delicious lunch. All round great value tour.

The tour included visits to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the bus driver's stories based on his real experiences on Iriomote Island; they were interesting and entertaining. I think he might have exaggerated a bit, but I was impressed by his calm way of speaking and how he wrapped up his stories with a punchline. I thought this was really insightful and listened intently. As for the ferry returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, the boarding area was hard to find. There were no announcements at the waiting area, so we almost missed the boat. I wonder if there were others who missed it too.

西表島も由布島も竹富島にも行くツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。とくに西表島のバスの運転手さんの実体験に伴うトークが、面白くて楽しかったです。多少、盛ってるとこ有ると思いますが穏やかな話し方と、ちゃんとオチのある締め方で感心しました。コレって参考になるなぁ～と思って聴きいりました。竹富島から石垣島に帰るフェリーですが、乗り場が分かりにくかったです。待合所では、何のアナウンスも無かったので乗船がギリギリになってしまいました。中には乗り遅れた人もいたのでは？と思います。

I went to Okinawa for the first time. I was inspired to go after coming across travel videos about Okinawa on YouTube. Just watching the videos made me feel like I was traveling every day. My husband, who is recovering from an illness, suddenly said, "Let's go to Okinawa!" His condition had stabilized, and I thought we could go if we adjusted his diet (salt intake). We managed to book our flights and hotel, and created an itinerary. We chose a bus tour, and the weather was great, making it a fun and comfortable experience.

はじめて沖縄に行きました。
YouTubeで沖縄旅行✈️してる動画に出会ったのがきっかけ。動画見ているだけで旅行に行けてる気分で毎日過ごしていました。
病気療養中の主人が突然、沖縄に行こう！
体調も落ち着いていましたが、食事(塩分)を調整すれば行けるかも😃飛行機✈️、ホテル🏨の予約がとれ行程表を作成しました。で、選んだのがバス🚌ツアーでした。天候にも恵まれて楽しく快適なツアーでした。

You can easily reach places that are difficult to access without a rental car by bus. You can stay at each spot for about an hour. They also allow you to bring large suitcases on the bus for free, and on the way back, they drop you off at Shodoshima International Hotel or Angel Road, which was very helpful.

レンタカーが無いと行きづらい場所へバスでお手軽に行けます。各スポット大体1時間くらい滞在。でっかいキャリーも無料でバスに乗せてくれますし、帰りは小豆島国際ホテルやエンジェルロードで降ろしてくれるので、とても助かりました。

The explanations were polite and precise, allowing us to enjoy all the sights without missing anything. The guide was truly wonderful, recommending great places to eat.

丁寧で的確な説明で、名所を逃さず楽しむことができました。
おすすめの食事処を教えてくださったり本当に素晴らしいガイドさんでした。

This tour was aimed at inbound tourists, but it seemed challenging for the guide since there were mostly Japanese participants. I thought it was a great plan to visit the main tourist spots in Kyoto. Despite being tight on schedule, we had enough time to enjoy the sights, and I was very satisfied. I had been to these places before, but I made new discoveries and had a fun day.

今回のツアーは、インバウンド向けでしたが、日本人ばかりでガイドさんが大変そうでした。
京都の主要な観光地を巡って、大変良い企画だと思いました。タイトでありながらも十分に観光できて大満足でした。今まで行ったことあったけど、新たな発見もあり、楽しく過ごせた1日でした。
