All Reviews for Bus Tours

The day was hot as hades. There is no cover, we were told not to go downstairs and we were also told not to use umbrellas to help with the sun. It would be nice to add 2 more busses on the Roppongi loop, there is way too much time between busses.

Although I am from Okinawa, my children have not grown up there, so we are currently visiting during summer vacation. I thought it would be a great opportunity for them to learn more about Okinawa from a historical perspective and as a tourist destination, so I signed them up for this tour on their own.

We have visited the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Ryukyu Village many times as a family, but it seems that the explanations from the kind and interesting guide left a lasting impression on them. The guide's thoughtfulness and the way they engaged the children during the tour made them very happy. I realized that even local participants can enjoy this tour. Thank you very much.

沖縄出身ではあるのですが、子供たちは沖縄で育ってきてはいないので夏休みで里帰り中ということもあり、地元沖縄を歴史的な観点や観光地として見て、ガイドさんの説明を聞いて沖縄をもっと良く知るための好い機会だと思い、子供たちのみでこのツアーに参加申し込みしました。
美ら海水族館・琉球村は家族で何度も出かけてはいたのですが、優しくておもしろいガイドさんの説明は心に残ったようです。ガイドさんのお気遣い、ツアー中の話の盛り上げ方にも子供たちはすごく喜んでいました。地元の方たちが参加しても楽しいツアーになるんだなと思いました。ありがとうございました。

It was a bus tour on a day when the maximum temperature was expected to exceed 35 degrees. The weather was so nice that I almost considered not participating (laughs). The inside of the bus was not as hot as I expected, and the sunlight during the traffic stops wasn't too bothersome. The views unique to an open bus were fantastic! (^｡^)

最高気温３５度超えが予想される日のバスツアーでした。
あまりの天気の良さに、参加を見合わせようかと思ったぐらいです（笑）
バスの中は思ったより暑くなく、信号停止中の日差しもあまり苦になりませた。
オープンバスならではの景色が最高でした！(^｡^)

The emerald green sea and the sight of fish swimming gracefully felt just like the Dragon Palace. I was moved by the guide's storytelling, singing, and dancing that conveyed Okinawa's history and culture. I felt a mysterious power of Okinawa in the guide's words, "If you speak your dreams, they will surely come true." Thank you for the energy. Even though I was tired, it felt like strength surged within me. I can keep going again. Thank you, guide, for the sea and sky of Okinawa.

まさにエメラルドグリーンの海と、魚達が優雅に泳ぐ姿はまるで竜宮城の様でした。
ガイドさんが沖縄の歴史と文化を歌や踊りや語りて伝えてくれて感動しました。
ガイドさんの「夢は言葉に出したら必ず叶うから」との言葉に不思議な沖縄のパワーを感じました。元気をありがとうございます
疲れていたのに嘘のように力が湧いてきました。
また頑張れます。
ありがとうガイドさん、沖縄の海と空

It was a tour during the approach of a typhoon, but when we got off the bus, it wasn't raining, making for a comfortable experience. The Churaumi Aquarium was more impressive than I had expected, and time flew by.

台風が近づく中のツアーでしたが、バスを降りるときは雨が降らず、快適なツアーになりました。美ら海水族館は思っていた以上の迫力で、時間があっという間に過ぎました。

Try to spend more time at the Pineapple stop.
Kind Regards

The ox cart was amazing! I was impressed by the hardworking water buffalo. I definitely want to visit again. I was able to enjoy the three islands smoothly without any confusion! I think it's truly unique to the tour experience. Next time, I would like to participate in tours to Kuroshima and Hateruma Island.

牛車、最高でした！
働き者の水牛に感動。また必ず会いに行きたいと思います^ - ^
3島、迷い事もなくスムーズに堪能できました！
やはりツアーならではだと思います。
次回は黒島や波照間島などのツアーに参加したいと思います。

Not only was the sightseeing around Yakushima great, but the guide's stories were also incredibly enjoyable, and I was completely satisfied! Although I was traveling alone, I was able to take many photos, which became wonderful memories. Thank you very much for the transportation to my accommodation.

屋久島一周の観光のみならず、ガイドさんの話しも最高に楽しかったし、とにかく大満足です❗
一人旅だったのですが、写真もたくさんとっていただき、良い思い出になりました。
宿まで送迎もしてもらい、本当にありがとうございました。

I used this for a family trip. Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka were as beautiful as postcards. Riding the trolley at Shikisai no Oka was very fun and became a great memory. Thank you to the driver and the tour guide.

親子旅行で利用しました。ファーム富田、色彩の丘は絵はがきのように綺麗でした。色彩の丘でトロッコに乗ったのがとても楽しく良い思い出になりました。運転手さん、添乗員さんありがとうございました。

There was only short time to look around
Simulator was great
Ninja village top
Mt Fuji a „Must“

The review was indeed good as mentioned. The seats on the left side are recommended as they face the sea. You need to check in at the bus terminal 15 minutes before departure.

The male guide (estimated age 60-65) and the staff from To Transport were very pleasant, making me think it's a good company.

The guide's storytelling was engaging and entertaining, and he was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing island songs. The travel time was short, so it wasn't tiring. It's also convenient that on the morning trip, you can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

Although the weather forecast predicted sunny weather, it rained at Kabira Bay, which was disappointing, but the glass boat experience was still enjoyable. For lunch, I had a hearty hamburger set at Auntie Poza's diner with a nice view. However, the taste was just okay. Normally, a meal here costs 1,100 yen, so the sightseeing bus ticket is effectively 3,500 yen. The price and content are reasonable.

こちらの口コミ通り良い内容でした。座席は左が海側なのでおすすめ。
15分前までにバスターミナルで受付します。
名ガイドの男性(推定60-65歳)をはじめ、東運輸の受付の方もとても感じが良く、いい会社なんだと思います。

ガイドさんの話は名調子で面白く、三線も島唄も上手。移動時間も短く疲れません。午前の便のみ帰りは空港で降ろしてもらえるのも便利。

天気予報は晴れなのに川平湾は雨も降り残念でしたがグラスボートはそこそこ楽しめました。
昼食は眺めのよいポーザーおばさんの食堂のハンバーグ定食でボリュームも十分。ただし味はイマイチ。
普通にここで食事すると1100円のメニューなので、観光バスは実質3500円。納得の価格と内容です。

My first water buffalo cart ride was wonderful. The buffalo was cute, and the guide's singing was great. It became a very memorable experience. I had a lot of fun!!

はじめての水牛車は
水牛が可愛くて
ガイドのお姉さんの歌も上手で
とても思い出になりました。
とても楽しかったです！！

I was amazed by the talent of our tour guide, Mr. Kajino (I apologize if the kanji is incorrect), and I could really feel his love for Okinawa. I had a truly wonderful time. He entertained us with songs, dances, and the sanshin, making the time on the bus enjoyable as well.

There were many guests from abroad, and I thought it must be tough for the guide and the driver, but I had a really fun time. It's hard to find such a tour in other prefectures, so I highly recommend it.

Although there were moments of rush due to the short time, it's a great tour for those who want to see a lot in one day.

ツアーガイドさんの梶野さんの(←漢字間違っていたらすみません)芸達者ぷりに驚かされ、沖縄を愛する気持ちが伝わって、本当に素敵な時間を過ごせました。歌や踊りや三線で楽しませてくれて、バスの中も楽しい時間。
外国からのお客様が多く、ガイドさんや運転手さんは大変だろうなぁと思いつつ、すごく楽しい時間を過ごせました。
他の県に行って、なかなかこんなツアーは体験出来ないので、ぜひおススメします。
短い時間で焦るとこもありますが、一日で沢山見たい方は、いいツアーです。

I went on this trip during a consecutive 3 day holiday , so the traffic jam was unbearable and we spent most of our time on the bus instead in the actual attraction , however our tour guide Madora was amazing ! She did her best to show us everything there is to see , my halal meal at Ninja village was top notch ! Thankfully Mt.fuji summit was visable and we were able to go up to the 5th station where i took amazing photos , to me lake kawaguchi was the highlight of the tour , i'd love to spend the night there one day !

I participated in the morning course. We went around the island in a clockwise direction, visiting beautiful spots like waterfalls and beaches that are hard to reach without a car, and we encountered wild monkeys and deer on the west side of the island.

On Yakushima, the roads on the east side seem wide and easy to drive, but the west side has challenging routes for beginner drivers (there's not enough width for two cars to pass, so one has to pull over to the side). This tour was extremely helpful for us since we couldn't drive.

午前中のコースで参加しました。
島をぐるりと時計周りで一周し、美しい滝な浜など、車が無いとなかなか行けない観光スポットをまわってくれ、島の西側では野生の猿や鹿にも遭遇します。

屋久島は島の東側は道も広く運転しやすそうですが、西側は運転初心者には厳しいコース（すれ違いできる幅がなく、どちらかが道の端に避ける必要あり）のため、車の運転ができない私達にとっては非常に助かったツアーでした。

The content was compact and good, and ending at the Himeyuri Monument was the right choice. However, the meeting place (in front of Kenmin Plaza) was hard to find, and I got lost.

内容がコンパクトでよかった、最後がひめゆりの塔で正解。
ただ待ち合わせ場所（県民広場前）がわかりにくく迷った。

The driver and guide were very dedicated, providing an excellent experience. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but they still shared beautiful views and recommended highlights. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to enjoy the White Road, Shirakawa-go, and Takayama.

ドライバー兼ガイドさんが一生懸命に対応してくださり最高の体験でした。
あいにく天気は良くなかったのですが、そのなかでも景観のいいところやおすすめポイントを教えていただけました。ホワイトロードや白川郷、飛騨高山を満喫できる良いツアーでした。

Shodoshima is inconvenient without a car. I was able to circle the wide island, and I was dropped off near Angel Road, which allowed me to enjoy sightseeing without wasting time. I was happy to find out that the souvenirs included somen, tsukudani, and olive cream.

車がないと不便な小豆島。
広い島をぐるりと1周でき、最後はエンジェルロードの近くでバスを降りさせていただいたので、時間の無駄なく観光できました。
そうめんに、佃煮、オリーブクリームのお土産がついてるとは知らなかったので嬉しかったです。

Decided last minute to take a bus tour as in it was 10:00 AM and we bought the tickets online and got on the tour bus at 1:00 PM! (There are times running throughout the day). No issue getting our information and the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. They even helped us find out information regarding other landmarks in the city and typical tourist questions like where to eat, shop, and metro stations near landmarks. Highly recommend it and would do it again!

I participated in a beach day at Kondoi Beach. Since it was an afternoon tour, the return ferry was at 4 or 5 PM, so we only had a little over an hour at the beach, but it was nice to experience the sandy shore. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a mini tent or something similar, even though it adds to your luggage.

コンドイビーチでの海水浴目的に参加。
午後からのツアーなので帰りのフェリー16時か17時なのでビーチの滞在時間は一時間強でしたが砂浜も経験出来たのでよかったです。
日差しが強いので荷物になるけどミニテントなど持っていくと良いかも。

It was an early morning gathering, but the air conditioning on the bus was effective, and there weren't too many people, so I was able to sit comfortably and doze off a bit, which helped me feel energetic during the day. The guide provided clear explanations about the next destination while we were on the bus, which was very helpful.

At Sefa Utaki, I almost slipped even while wearing sneakers, but I was able to take my time to appreciate the site, and it made me feel a sense of solemnity. The time at Okinawa World was a bit short, so I rushed through the limestone cave, but I spent more time on the kimono experience and exploring, and I enjoyed everything.

朝早い集合でしたが、バス内は冷房が効いていて人もそんなに多くなく、ゆったり座れてウトウトできたので、日中は元気に回れました。
ガイドさんが車内で次の目的地の説明を丁寧にしてくれるので分かりやすくて良かったです。

斎場御嶽はスニーカーを履いてても滑りそうになりましたが、じっくり見ることが出来、厳かな気持ちになりました。
おきなわワールドの時間が少し短かったので鍾乳洞を駆け足で回り、着付け体験と散策に時間をかけましたが、どれも楽しかったです。

The guide's fun songs, dances, and easy-to-understand explanations of the local area made for a great experience! I was traveling with my elderly aunt, and we created wonderful memories. If there's another opportunity, I would appreciate your help again.

ガイドさんの楽しい歌や、踊り、分かりやすい土地柄の説明！高齢の叔母と同行でしたが、良い思い出が出来ました。
また機会有りましたら、宜しくお願いします。

I had a wonderful day listening to the guide's fun local stories. In particular, the whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium, the dances at Ryukyu Village, and the stunning views at Manzamo left a lasting impression. In the evening, we chose the sanshin live plan, ordered Orion beer and awamori to go with the course meal, and enjoyed a delightful night listening to the live performance while feeling pleasantly tipsy. My wife also really enjoyed it, and we are discussing where to go next.

ガイドさんの楽しいローカルネタなどを聞きながら楽しく1日を過ごすことができました。
特に、美ら海水族館でのジンベイザメ、琉球村の踊り、万座毛の素晴らしい景色が印象に残りました。
夜は三線ライブプランを選択、コース料理に追加してオリオンビールと泡盛を注文し、ほろ酔いでライブを聞きながら楽しい夜を過ごすことができました。嫁さんにもなかなか好評で、次はどこへ行こうかなと話をしております。

Recently, I used the double-decker open-top sightseeing bus in Osaka to visit various attractions! There are four departures a day from Osaka Station on the Umeda route.

Unfortunately, it was raining, but I was able to enjoy visiting various places without getting wet.

I've been to Osaka more than ten times, but this was my first time doing such an activity. I highly recommend it for hot summer days or rainy days, as you can enjoy a lot without getting tired.

先日、
大阪市内観光バス 2階建オープンデッキバスで巡る名所の数々！選べる時間1日4便＜大阪駅発＞ / 【北】うめだルート
以上を利用。

生憎の雨だったが、濡れずに各所を見て回れて楽しかった。

大阪へは10回以上来ているが、
こういったアクティビティは初。
暑い夏や、雨の日には疲れずに色々楽しめておススメです。

I was hesitant due to the morning storm, but I'm glad I participated. It's not easy to go to the southern region alone, but it was efficient to get around. I was amazed by the scale of Gyokusendo Cave.

朝の暴風雨で迷いましたが、参加して良かったです。一人ではなかなか行きにくい南部ですが、効率よく回れます。
玉泉洞のスケールに驚きました。

Although it rained in the afternoon due to the typhoon, we were able to enjoy sightseeing as planned. We also enjoyed the guide's singing and dancing on the bus. It was a fulfilling day with plenty of activities.

台風の影響で午後から雨でしたが、予定通り各地観光できました。
バスの中ではガイドさんの歌と踊りも楽しませていただきました。内容盛り沢山の1日で満足しました。

It was a great travel experience with VELTRA tours. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Miyuki was our guide and she took good care of our tour bus group always checking that we are complete and no one was missing.
I would highly recommend this tour group should you have any plans to visit Japan

I was attracted to the tour that allows you to efficiently visit spots even without a car, so I signed up.

It was stated that we would spend two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium, but in reality, it was less than two hours from getting off the bus to returning to it. We all moved together from the bus drop-off to the aquarium.

Since we were guided to have lunch at the Churaumi Aquarium, I think we only had about an hour to actually see the aquarium after deducting that time. At other spots, we spent about 20 minutes. Considering the time to return to the bus, it was really hectic and busy.

One point of concern was that the map posted inside the bus marked places that were not included in the tour, and the route guide set at the seats was for a different course, which made me anxious, wondering if I had mistakenly signed up for the wrong tour or if I had gotten on the wrong bus.

Also, I was surprised that the guide often read from a book while facing away from the customers. I think it would have left a better impression if they had guided us in their own words, even if it wasn't a long explanation.

I didn't feel a sense of fun, but I am satisfied. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try other courses as well.

車がなくても、回りたいスポットを効率よく回れるツアーに惹かれて申し込みました。
美ら海水族館は2時間半と書かれていましたが、実際はバス降車からバスに戻るまでで2時間弱くらい。バス降車から水族館までは全員で移動しました。
美ら海水族館で昼食をとるよう案内されたので、その時間を差し引くと、水族館を見れたのは1時間くらいだったかなと思います。
他のスポットでは20分くらい。バスに戻る時間を考えると、本当にバタバタで忙しかったです。
気になった点は、車内に貼られている地図に該当ツアーでは回らないところがマークされていたり、座席にセットされていたルート案内が別のコースのもので、「間違って申し込んだのか」「違うバスに乗ってしまったのか」と不安になりました。
そして、ガイドさんがよくお客さんに背中を向けた状態で、本を読み上げてガイドしていたのが意外でした。
長文でなくても良いので、ご自身の言葉でガイドして下さった方が印象に残りやすかったなと思います。
楽しい～という感覚はなかったけど、満足です。
また機会があれば他のコースも利用したいと思います。

The entire itinerary was efficient. It was great to understand the charm of Mishima in a compact way. The water buffalo was cute, and the children were very happy. It was a good experience. Everything was excellent except for the response from the man at the rental bicycle reception.

Regarding the rental bicycles, there were many participants, and I couldn't go to the front due to taking care of the children. Perhaps there was a timing issue with handing out tickets that I missed. When it was my turn, I couldn't present my ticket at their timing, and I was asked for the ticket in a frustrated manner. I was also dazed from the heat, so I didn't feel like arguing, but later I felt anger rising.

If that man, who didn't seem like a local at all, hadn't been there, my overall rating would have been a 5. Because of that man, my overall rating is a 3.

全ての行程がテキパキとしていた。
コンパクトに三島の良さがわかったのはよかつた。水牛はかわいかった。子供がとっても喜んでいた。いい体験ができた。
レンタサイクルの受付の男の対応以外は全て◎。
レンタサイクルについて。参加者が多く、子供の世話で前の方にも行けず、その間にチケットを渡すタイミングの話があったのかもしれないが、聞きそびれた。その後、自分の番になって、向こうのタイミングでチケッもが出せなかったからか、イライラした感じで、チケット出してください、と言われた。こっちも暑さで朦朧としてたから、戦う気が起きなかったが、後から怒りが湧いてきた。
全然地元民でもなさそうなあの男がいなければ、全体評価は5。
あの男がいたから全体評価は3。

It was a rainy day. When I was a little late for the meeting time, the guide called my mobile to let me know they would be arriving soon. Shortly after that, the bus arrived. While on the bus, the guide provided information about the next sightseeing spot. It was my second time in Okinawa, but I was able to learn a lot and even enjoyed some Okinawan songs, making it a memorable tour. I also tried the dining places at the airport that were recommended. Although the weather was bad, I was really glad to participate in the tour. Thank you very much! Next time, I want to join on a sunny day for a revenge tour!

大雨の日でした。集合時間より少し遅くなったときにガイドさんが、電話でもうすぐ到着します。と携帯に電話をしてくれました。
それから、まもなくバスが到着しました。
バスに乗っている間は、次の観光はこちらですと案内をしてくださいました。二度目の沖縄でしたが、いろいろと知ることができて、沖縄の歌も歌ってもらって、心に残るツアーでした。
教えてもらった、空港での食事所なども行ってみました。お天気は悪かったですが、ツアーに参加できて本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました！
今度はリベンジで、お天気の日に参加したいです！
