All Reviews for Bus Tours

On the last day of our sightseeing, I was worried about time during the activities, and since the weather had been cloudy with light rain on other days, I hadn't had the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kabira Bay. That's why I decided to join this tour.

We were blessed with good weather and got to see the stunning Kabira Bay. However, according to our guide, the view from Tamatorizaki Observatory is even more spectacular, and it truly was a very beautiful sight.

I also enjoyed hearing interesting stories from our guide about the habu snakes of Ishigaki Island, which was great.

観光の最終日　アクティビティでは、時間的に不安があり、また、他の日が　曇天～小雨立った為　せっかくの川平湾の景色の美しさに出会えてなかったこともあり、このツアーに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれて、美しい川平湾に出会えました。
でも、ガイドさん曰く　
玉取崎展望台からの景色は、一段と素晴らしいものがある　と、
実際に　大変美しい景色でした。
ガイドさんの　石垣島のハブの話しなど　へぇ～
という面白いお話も聞けて　良かったですね。

I often use Veltra for reservations abroad, but this was a tour in Japan. There were reviews mentioning that most participants were foreigners, but in reality, almost all 34 people were part of a Japanese group tour. Given that it was a holiday, it was undeniable that there was a shortage of staff at the dining places, and even when we ordered dessert, it never arrived, so we left without eating. Since it was a time-limited tour, they should have known that we wouldn't have time for meals, so I thought it would have been better if they had prepared everything in advance and set the tables from the start. The guide seemed a bit panicked due to the large number of people. Well, if you think of it as a Japanese tour, I suppose that's just how it is.

海外でよく利用しているベルトラの予約でしたが、日本旅行の日本ツアーでした。口コミに海外の方ばかりなどありましたが３４人のほとんどが日本人の団体ツアーでした。連休ということもありお食事処では人手不足が否めなく、デザートを頼んでも出てこないので食べずに出ました。時間が限られているツアーですから、食事に時間が取れないことは分かってるはずですから、はじめからテーブルにセットしておくなど準備されていては・・・と思いました。
ガイドの方は人数が多くて少々パニック気味でした。
まぁ、日本のツアーと思えばあんなものだと思います。

The tour for me is money we’ll spend. It saves you time and planning especially for short visit. I want to give
Our tour guide June San, for giving us a wonderful tour very informative and attentive. Thank you! Until next time!

Sayonara Kyoto!

I was able to thoroughly enjoy the sights I wanted to visit in Kyoto. The guide was very kind and provided detailed explanations, allowing me to learn more about Kyoto, which I hadn't known before. I think this tour is perfect for those who want to travel quickly through Kansai and don't want to spend too much time in Kyoto when they also want to head to Osaka or Nara. Since I visited on a holiday, there was more traffic than I expected, but I am grateful to the guide for explaining the situation clearly.

京都に行きたかった訪れたかった名所をしっかり観光できました。ガイドさんもとても親切でもろもろの説明も非常に詳しく、今まで知らなかった京都を改めて勉強する事ができました。関西をさくっと旅するにあたり、京都だけに時間を掛けたくない時に（大阪や奈良にも向かいたいという時）とてもぴったりなツアーだと思います。訪れた際は祝日だったので予想以上の渋滞でしたが、しっかり状況を説明してくださったガイドさんに感謝しています。

It can be quite difficult to visit tourist spots without being able to drive, but I was glad to join this tour and efficiently visit various places. I was moved when I saw the large whale shark at the Churaumi Aquarium. The guide was fun and taught us the names of flowers, which I enjoyed. The steakhouse I opted for had an entertaining performance, and the staff were kind. When I requested, "I can't chew hard food because I'm undergoing dental treatment, so please cut the meat into smaller pieces," they cut it into about 2 cm cubes, making it easy to chew. I would like to join a tour with Veltra again if I have the opportunity.

車が運転できないと、なかなか観光地を回りにくいですが、このツアーに参加して、効率よくいろんな所に行けて良かったです。
美ら海水族館で大きなジンベイザメを見たときは感動しました。
ガイドさんが花の名前等を教えて下さって楽しかったです。
オプションで申し込んだステーキハウスはパフォーマンスも面白く、スタッフも親切でした。
「歯の治療中なので、かたい物が噛めないから肉を小さく切って欲しい」とリクエストしたら２センチ角くらいに切って下さったので噛みやすかったです。
また機会があればベルトラさんのツアーに参加したいです。

I participated since I had free time on the last morning. It's convenient and nice that they drop you off at the airport.

Visiting Sefa Utaki in the early morning when there are no people allows you to feel the atmosphere more and makes it easier to take good photos. I also passed by the Nirai Kanai Bridge, and it was great to capture beautiful photos reflecting the morning light. When traveling alone with a rental car, you can't stop just to take pictures.

It was the morning of the day Shuri Castle burned down, and while I was shocked, I was impressed by how composed the guide was. Before we landed at the airport, she sang Okinawan folk songs, and as I listened, I found myself in tears... I wanted to stay longer in beautiful Okinawa, where the climate and people are warm; I didn't want to go back. Even after arriving at the airport, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing for a while.

It was a wonderful conclusion to a great trip. Thank you very much.

最終日の午前中が空いていたので参加しました。空港下車させてくれるのが便利で良いですね。
斎場御嶽は朝一の人のいない時間に行けるので、雰囲気がより感じられるし、良い写真が撮りやすいのではないでしょうか。途中ニライカナイ橋も通り、朝の光を反射した美しい写真が撮れたのもよかったです。一人旅のレンタカーだと通るだけで写真は撮れないので。
首里城が燃えてしまった当日の朝でしたが、ショックを受けつつもガイドさんが気丈に振る舞っていたのが印象的でした。空港に降り立つ前に沖縄民謡を歌ってくださり、聞いているうちに涙が・・・。美しく気候も人も暖かい沖縄にもっといたかった、帰りたくなかったんでしょうね。空港についてもしばらく涙が溢れて止まりませんでした。
良い旅の良い締めくくりになりました。ありがとうございました。

The day after the rain turned into a perfectly clear day, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the stunning autumn leaves along the White Road, as well as exploring Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. There were also participants from overseas, and the guide's wonderful explanations in both Japanese and fluent English were very pleasant. I completely recovered from the fatigue of the marathon the day before, making it a highly satisfying day. It was said to be a rare good weather day, so I felt very lucky. I highly recommend this course.

前日の雨天から雲一つ無い晴天となりホワイトロードでの紅葉の絶景と白川郷と五箇山の散策を最高に楽しむことができました。海外の方も参加しガイドさんの日本語と堪能な英語での素晴らしい説明も心地よく前日のマラソンの疲れもすっかり取れて大満足の一日でした。めったにない好天とのことでとてもラッキーでした。お勧めのコースです。

This tour is an excellent introduction to some of the amazing historical sites that Kyoto has to offer. The tour meeting point is across from the main railway station (where there are loads of luggage lockers, 500-700y per day) so is very convenient for day trippers. On the day we went the weather was wet and the guide provided umbrellas which was a nice touch. The temples and shrines we visited were busy despite the weather and our excellent guide (Jorge) informed us that crowds were lighter than usual, so be prepared. Some of the sites were also being renovated (Olympics next year?) which was a shame but didn't detract too much from the overall experience. Lunch was a proper Japanese affair which we found tasty and educational, but if you want beer/sake with your food you will have to pay extra. Our tour group (about 40) was a bit unwieldy for a whistle stop tour but we were given a bit off time at each of the sites to explore. Our also guide pointed out other historical sites on the bus route which was helpful to those with more time. An enjoyable day!

On the day of the visit, I participated in the course at the Seifa Utaki and the Gangala Valley despite the light rain. I had been to Seifa Utaki before, so I was aware of its beauty, but since it was early, there were few tourists, allowing me to experience a solemn atmosphere amidst the light rain and tranquility. As for the Gangala Valley, I had no prior knowledge about it, but the guide from the Gangala tour was very dedicated and provided clear explanations, making it a fun exploration experience.

当日は小雨の降る中、斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷のコースに参加しました。
斎場御嶽は行ったことがあったので良さは知っていましたが、早い時間だったので観光客も少なく、小雨と静寂の中で厳かな気分で回れました。そしてガンガラーの谷は全く予備知識の無かったのですが、(ガンガラーツアーの)ガイドさんが一生懸命で説明も分かりやすく、探検気分でとても楽しめました。

I participated in this trip with my mother. We efficiently visited tourist attractions and enjoyed the entire day without getting bored thanks to the guide's explanations and stories during our travels. Considering the idea of renting a car and driving in an unfamiliar place, I think this tour is a great deal.

母娘での旅行で参加いたしました。効率的に観光名所を回り、移動中もガイドさんの説明やお話で飽きることなく一日中楽しめました。レンタカーを借りて慣れない場所を運転する事を考えたら、とってもお得なツアーだと思います。

We had a great tour guide named Jorge and we were taken to all the great places in Kyoto. I think we were given enough time to take pictures and explore the areas. Jorge explain each place with great passion and very easy understand and take in. Loved every moment of it. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing full day tour.We travelled with the family with two young children and starting from booking the tour till the end,it was all great,stress free and the travel consultant Jazz,communicated very well with all our queries at every point.We got to see the highlights of Kyoto in a day which would have been very difficult otherwise with young kids.
Our guide Hiromi was very nice,knowledgeable and she spoke good English and she was very helpful.We struggled the previous day to find vegetarian food and she advised us of the places to eat.She spoke about several interesting facts throughout the day.Beautiful temples,Shrines and Bamboo forest and the day was very well organised.We had itinerary at the start of the tour and we knew exactly whats happening.Lot of walking so make sure you get your comfortable walking shoes.Lunch was superb and it was all set on the table when we arrived.We were a bit hesitant initially to book as some had mentioned about the tour felt a bit rushed but overall pace was fine even with the buggy!
Overall its a must one if you have less time in Kyoto and want to visit the highlights of Kyoto in a day and I would definitely recommend this tour!

Perfect way to see the best of TOKYO in one day. The Odaiba cruise and inclusive lunch was a plus.

Amazing tour with an absolutely wonderful tour guide. She was so polite and attentive, Hiromi was the best! I have been to Kyoto many times before and this was the easiest and best way to see the historical sites in Kyoto. Highly recommend for anyone on a short visit to Kyoto.

We had such an awesome time with this Mt. Fuji tour. The activities are well-organized, we enjoyed walking around the villages, taking photos with Ninja and beautiful Mt. Fuji almost every where we went to. The lunch was super delicious and since it was a buffet so our 4 kids enjoyed all their favorite food. Ami is such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, we loved the way she taught us how to make a small origami and I like her poems too. The price of the tour is higher than others but it is worth the money.

The tour to mount Fuji overall was great. Tour guide is very nice, scenery was beautiful and so much fresh air comparing to city. The sky was abit foggy but it cleared up near afternoon. The ropeway is very crowded, didnt get a good view but Kawaguchi lake cruise was relaxing and fun. Would love to go on more of these.

I went on the tour with my sister two days after the October typhoon. Due to a landslide caused by the typhoon, we had to take a detour, which resulted in additional travel time. Unfortunately, we were not able to travel up to the 5th station due to the change in schedule/timing. We were also not able to see Fuji-san due to the cloudy weather. But we understand that this is beyond the tour company's control. On the flip side, the tour guides were extremely friendly and tried to make up for cancelling the 5th station trip by providing some snacks, which were quite thoughtful. Overall, I like how the tour guides were organized and upfront about the change in schedule. They also incorporated some humour when interacting with us, which made us feel welcomed. The ice cream at the end of the tour was a nice touch to complete the experience (we recommend having the peach flavour!). I can imagine that the itinerary would be perfect if the weather was accommodating. We will definitely come back again, perhaps during spring time when Mt. Fuji is more visible.

It was a great tour! It was the best way to get the highlights of Kyoto. It’s very historic place with lots to see. This tour was a great experience, the tour guide was wonderful. The entire day was spent efficiently traveling from one location to another and see what each had to offer. The tour guide took us to some very nice spots in the temples and shrines where We got nice pictures. The street food venders near the shrine were delicious. There’s a lot of little stores along the way going to the temples and you can buy little souvenirs. You have free time to walk around the temples and just had to be back by a certain time so we could move on to the next activity. We got the tour that included a lunch, the food was great! You also have the option of picking vegetarian food. Overall, the experience was great and we never felt like we were confused as where to meet next. if you take this tour you will see some truly beautiful sights and views. There is on temple where I couldn’t take pictures but that was probably my favorite beside the golden pavilion. The bamboo forest was also very beautiful. Make sure you take very comfortable shoes, it’s a lot of walking and take lots of pictures! Can get somewhat crowded at different locations but still a very nice experience! Definitely would do this tour again!

I disembarked at Ishigaki Island from the cruise ship and switched to this tour by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, which was a great decision. It was a full course tour of Taketomi Island with multiple activities, and everything was well coordinated, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any unnecessary waiting time according to the schedule. The counter inside the remote island terminal was also kind and attentive. I want to enjoy this company's tour again next time!

クルーズ船で石垣島に上陸したが、船のエスカッションから石垣島ドリーム観光社のこのツアーに乗り換えたが、大正解だった。アクティヴィティが複数ある竹富島フルコースだったが、各所キチッと連携が取れていてSCHEDULE通り余分な待ち時間も無くツアーを楽しめた。離島ターミナル内のカウンターも親切丁寧です。次回もこの会社のツアーを楽しみたい！

We really enjoyed this sightseeing tour. You get to see the best spots in Kyoto in only one day. However, some spots (such as Arashiyama) require more time to explore. Our guide Jorge was really good, he speaks English fluently and provided just the right kind of information and details. The one thing I did not like was the lunch, so if you are a picky eater, there are other lunch options in Arashiyama.

You can go around the island. The Yakushima monkeys were very cute. The guide was also very enjoyable. I thought it might be good to use a rental car, but I'm glad I participated in the tour.

島を一周できます。屋久さるも、屋久しかも、とてもかわいかったです。
ガイドもとても楽しめました。レンタカー利用でもいいかな。と思いましたが
ツアーに参加させていただいて良かったです。

At Sefa Utaki, I was delighted to see rare spiders (which are said to resemble shisa) and butterflies. I also felt a surge of energy. Previously, when I visited Okinawa World, I learned about the Gangala Valley and wanted to go there, so I joined a tour this time. I thought it might be difficult to walk, but the paths were paved, making it easy and comfortable. It was also a meaningful opportunity to reflect on ancient Japanese people, such as the artifacts from the Minatogawa people.

斎場御嶽では、珍しいクモ（シーサーに似ているとのこと）や蝶も見かける事が出来、嬉しい気持ちになりました。パワーももらいました。以前、おきなわワールドに行った際に、ガンガラーの谷があるのを知り、行ってみたくて、今回、ツアーに参加しました。歩きにくいかと思っていましたが、舗装がされており、歩きやすく、快適でした。港川人の遺跡など、古代日本人に関しても、考える機会になり、とても有意義でした。

I highly recommend participating in this when you visit Taketomi Island! Riding a water buffalo to tour the streets lined with red-tiled roofs and white sand, typical of Okinawa, is the best experience. The guide had a shamisen and sang for us, which was another great highlight! The tour lasts about 30 minutes, so I think you can spend the remaining time exploring the beach or cycling around the island!

竹富島に訪れたら1度は参加オススメします！赤瓦のいえ、白い砂が一面に広がる沖縄らしい街並みを水牛に乗って観光するのは最高です。
ガイドさんが三味線を持っており、歌ってくれました。それも加えてよかったポイントですね！
30分ほどでツアーは終わるので、余った時間は、砂浜や自転車で島観光してもいいと思います！

I received a message to gather in front of Makishi Station at 7:40, so I started waiting around 7:25. At around 7:30, I received a confirmation call and informed them that I was waiting in front of Makishi Station. When it was past 7:40 and they still hadn't arrived, I started to worry. Then, around 8:00, I received another call saying they were now waiting in front of the Prefectural Office and would come to pick me up. After a while, I got another call asking me to come to the Prefectural Office instead of them picking me up.

I was following the instructions and waiting at Makishi Station, so I wondered why I had to go to the Prefectural Office now. However, considering there were other participants waiting, I headed to the Prefectural Office. I felt very sorry for causing a lot of trouble to the other participants despite waiting as instructed. The bus guide apologized for the lack of communication, but since the guide wasn't responsible, I couldn't say much. In the end, the company running the tour provided no explanation or apology, making it a day that left me feeling quite unsettled.

7：40牧志駅前集合という連絡を受けていたので7：25ぐらいから待っていた。
7：30頃確認の電話があり牧志駅まえで待っていること伝える。
7：40に過ぎても来ないので心配していると8時前頃に再度電話がありいま県庁前で待っているこれから迎えに行くとの連絡あり。またしばらくすると電話ありこちらが迎えに行くのではなく県庁前まで来てくださいと言われた。
こちらは指示どうり牧志駅で待っているのにまぜ私が県庁前まで今から行かなければならないのかと思ったが他の参加者おり待っていることだろうと県庁前まで向かった。
私は連絡してもらった指示どうりに待っていたのにそれにより同じツアー参加者に大変迷惑をかけ申し訳ない気持ちがいっぱいであった。
バスのガイドからは連絡の不徹底で申し訳ないとのお詫びをもらったがガイドに責任があるわけでもないのでなんとも言えなかった。
ツアーを運営している会社からは結局何の説明、お詫びもなく1日中気分のすぐれない日であった。

It was great; I went early in the morning and stayed until around noon. Coincidentally, the guide had the same name as me (though the kanji was different).

良かったです、朝早くから行きお昼頃まででそして、奇遇にも、ガイドさんが、同じ名前だつた、(漢字は違うけど)。
　

Kouri Island is beautiful. There were a few waves, but I enjoyed exploring the Churaumi Aquarium until just before closing time. It was great. At Manza Beach, it usually seems to be crowded, but it was surprisingly less busy this time, so I was able to see it quickly.

古宇利島は、キレイ　少し波はあったけど　美ら海水館は、時間ギリギリまで、開園の中を見ました、良かったです。万座毛は、いつもは、たくさん人がいるみたいで、珍しく人が少なかったので、早く見れました。　

A very well organised day trip to Mount Fuji, including lunch, lake cruise and cable car ride.
Fantastic experience, although we only had a brief view of Fuji San (you can't control the weather!!).
Lovely light lunch at a "French Themed" restaurant in the theme park at the base of Fuji.
20 minute lake cruise and a cable car ride, with cracking views of Mount Fuji (if weather plays ball!!), expertly guided by Hiro!!
Thoroughly recommend this trip.

I had a very, very enjoyable day! The meeting time wasn't too early, and the meeting place was easy to find near Sapporo Station. Plus, since it was by bus, we could listen to explanations while traveling.

We visited the Rokkatei souvenir shop, had cheese fondue and hamburgers for lunch, went to Farm Tomita, saw the roller coaster from the bus window, visited Shikisai no Oka, the Blue Pond, saw the patchwork hills from the bus window, and then returned to the city.

Both the driver and the guide were kind. We were able to efficiently visit many places, take lots of photos, and I ended up sleeping soundly on the way back, enjoying the sightseeing.

I visited in early October, but I would like to use this tour again in the middle of summer. Thank you very much!

とてもとても楽しい1日でした(^^)
集合時間も早くなく、待ち合わせ場所も札幌駅近くと分かりやすいです。
そして、ﾊﾞｽなので解説を聞きながら移動が出来ます。
六花亭のお土産屋さん→ﾁｰｽﾞﾌｫﾝﾃﾞｨｭとﾊﾝﾊﾞｰｸﾞのﾗﾝﾁ→ﾌｧｰﾑ富田→（車窓からｼﾞｪｯﾄｺｰｽﾀｰの道）→四季彩の丘→青い池→（車窓からﾊﾟｯﾁﾜｰｸの丘）→市街地へ戻り
運転手さん、ｶﾞｲﾄﾞさん共に優しいかたでした(^^)
効率良く回れ、写真もたくさん撮れ、帰りは爆睡して観光を楽しめました。
訪れたのが10月初旬でしたが、次は真夏にまたこのﾂｱｰを利用したいと思いました、
ありがとうございました(^^)

The overall impression of the experience was great and everything was on time.
We're a couple and liked the most about the mountain and scenery nearby. However, it depends on the weather as well. We're a bit unfortunate because we could not see the top of the mountain as it was cloudy (indeed, we could not predict the weather accurately, because we booked earlier based on forecast and it supposed to be sunny). But, we had enough time to walk and explore at the 5th station. The staffs were all great and friendly: from the lady who welcomed us, the guide who speaks both japanese and english, and of course the driver. We expected to have a light lunch provided, but the trip included a proper course lunch which was great and delicious. Also, they have options for special dietry and you must make sure to let them know. We can advice future participants to book in advanced as the tour can easily get fully book, please state clearly if you have any special dietry for lunch, and enjoy your trips! Overall, it's highly recommended especially for those travelling with kids, couple, and old people. All the seighseeing, lunch, cruise, cable car, and return transport are included.

I used this service before heading to the airport on my return home. It's a great tour that allows for sightseeing and drops you off at the airport. The guide played the sanshin and sang on the bus. It's a very good tour.

帰宅日、空港行く前に利用しました。
観光もできて空港で下車できていうことないツアーです。バスの中でガイドさんが三線を弾いて歌ってくれました。とてもよいツアーです。
