All Reviews for Bus Tours

Foreigners can also use it. The service is good, and it's very convenient. I think "Monkey Country" and "Twenty-Four Eyes" are the best. I recommend it for children and the elderly.

外国人でも利用できます。サービスもいいし、すごく便利です。猿の国と二十四の瞳が一番いいと思います。子供とお年寄りに連れて、お勧めます。

One child got seasick during the first 45 minutes of the boat ride. When we immediately informed the guide for the mangrove cruise about the seasickness, they quickly changed us to a boat with a restroom, allowing us to enjoy the cruise with peace of mind. After that, the child who had been seasick regained their energy when it was time to ride the water buffalo cart and was able to have a lot of fun.

There were no restroom breaks from the time we arrived at Iriomote Island until we reached the lunch venue. It's also a good idea to bring your own drinks.

子ども1人は最初の45分の乗船で船酔いをしてしまいました。
その後すぐに乗船するマングローブクルーズのガイドさんに船酔いしていることを伝えると、トイレ付きの船に急遽変更してもらえ安心してクルーズできました。
その後船酔いした子どもは、水牛車に乗る時には元気が戻りその後はとても楽しむ事ができました。

西表島についてから昼食会場まで特にトイレ休憩時間はありませんでした。また飲み物も持参したほうがいいです。

I booked the tour one day before and was happy that I did it for myself and 2 cousins. The trip turn up to be good except that we can't see the whole view of Mount Fuji due to weather. The trip end with a good bonus to see a 4 D show about Mount Fuji. Good experience, recommend Day your.

Great trip to Mt Fugi. We're fortunate with good weather had great view of the mts and scenery. The little towns were cute, would have been nice to have more time to walk around but a very full day. The fresh spring water was really cold and refreshing.
Mario was very informative tour guide. Had hands on experience climbing Mt fugi, able to give first hand account about climbing Mt fugi. Thanks for the experience.

The wonderful sound of the sanshin and the lovely singing voice. I brought my child, and I was happy that they frequently engaged with us. I would definitely like to participate again.

ステキな三線の音色とステキな歌声。子どもを連れて行ったのですが、こまめに話しかけて下さって嬉しかったです。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

Very convenient way to see the Okinawa Aquarium from the Kadena area. The Nago Pineapple stop was a pleasant surprise. Well organized and a good value.

It was an amazing tour! Mario and Abe-san (our driver) were amazing! Thank you so much for thia wonderful tour. It was so much fun. It was even better because the weather was so great. We were able to see Mt. Fuji clearly! I highly recommend this tour! Lunch was yummy, too!

I had a very meaningful time sightseeing in the city on a two-story open-deck bus while listening to the guide's detailed explanations. It was great to see the landmarks from the window in such a short time. I would like to join a different course next time. The heat was tough, but it's August after all!

二階建てオープンデッキバスでの市内観光、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明を聞きながら、とても有意義な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。短い時間で名所を車窓から観光。とても良かったです。
次はまた、違うコースに参加したいと思いました。
暑いのには参りましたが、、、８月ですからね〜〜

Was a great tour, good weather allowed to see the scenery and mt Fugi well. The fresh spring water in Oshino was cold and refreshing. Mario was a great tour guide, was able to share first hand experience about climbing Mt Fugi. If only I had more time I would come back to climb trail. But fortunately the clouds broke so was able to get pictures of the summit. The Fugi simulation was nice allowed to see and experience the different seasons on the mt. Would have been nice to have a little more time at sites but with full day saw alot. Thanks!!

The crew was very kind and attentive, and although it was a short trip, I was able to enjoy it. Thank you very much.

乗務員さんがいろいろと親切に対応してくれて,短い旅だったが楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました

Very nice trip. Well organised and professionally managed by local company (Rado). Everything went smoothly. The lady in charge of the tour didn't speak well English but was very kind and attentive to all guests. I recommend it to any foreigner who wants to visit Churaumi aquarium. Pick up option from hotel is a plus. Good experience!

There were various weather conditions to consider, including whether Typhoon No. 13 would turn into a tropical depression. The forecast still indicated rain, and there were whitecaps on the sea in front of us. However, the local company gave the go-ahead, and my family was eager to proceed! As a mother with children, I struggled with the decision to cancel until the last moment. When we boarded the ship, heavy rain created a sense of unease inside.

However, as we left the port, the clouds moved quickly, and we were greeted with clear skies. It was the largest ship, so the rocking was within expected limits. During the bus tour, we experienced a downpour, surprising even our guide, but we managed to continue without umbrellas until the end. The sightseeing was leisurely and fulfilling, allowing us to fully enjoy nature. The female guide on the large bus in Iriomote Island left a very good impression on me.

The ox cart and cycling were especially enjoyable in the sunshine, which supported our journey! However, the return ship was small and a high-speed vessel, and some passengers experienced nausea due to the strong winds.

As expected of a sacred place, the prayer area surrounded by trees felt a bit cooler in temperature. If you have a flight around 3 PM, I recommend participating. The guide from Rad Tours was also very helpful in providing guidance.

聖地と言われるだけあって、木々に囲まれたお祈りの場所は、やや気温も低く涼しく感じた。15時前後のフライトであれば、参加をお勧めします。ラド観光のガイドさんも丁寧に案内くださって良かったです。

I think it's great to go with family. There are many photo spots, and we were able to take a lot of memorable pictures together. It was nice to take photos with the water buffalo at Ryukyu Village. The water at Manza Beach is a cerulean blue color and very beautiful, and swimming there really lifts everyone's spirits. The blue sky, blue sea, and white clouds make you feel like it's summer and the beach! It was so exciting. I also can't forget the sight of the fish swimming at the aquarium. I don't think you should miss this tour, as it really captures the essence of Okinawa.

家族で行くのが良いと思います。写真スポットがたくさんあり実際家族で思い出の写真をたくさん取ることができました。琉球村で水牛と一緒に家族で写真をとれたのは良かったと思います。万座毛ビーチの水はセロリアンブルーの色をしていてとてもきれいで、泳ぐと家族全員の気分のMAXです。青い空、青い海、白い雲。夏だ！海だ！って気持ちにさせてくれ盛り上がりました。水族館で見たお魚さん達の泳いでる姿も忘れられないいです。沖縄っぽさがいっぱい感じれるここのツアーを外すことはないと思います。

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.

I was looking forward to the day, but due to poor health, I called the Kintetsu Bus Center to cancel, but they wouldn't accept it, saying, "You can only cancel through VELTRA online." I researched several times, but in the end, I couldn't figure it out, and time passed. The website says to contact Kintetsu, but they didn't listen to that, and I was left feeling uncomfortable. I'm very disappointed.

当日楽しみにしていたのですが、体調不良で、キャンセルの電話を近鉄バスセンターに入れましたが、受け付けていただけず、「VELTRAはインターネットでしかキャンセルできません」とのことで、何度か調べたのですが、結局わからないまま、時間が来てしまいました。
HPでは、近鉄に連絡とありますが、そういうことは聞いていただけず、不快な思いをするばかりでした。大変残念です。

It was a tour that allowed us to efficiently visit the places we wanted in a short amount of time. I think it's definitely better than going individually since we could listen to the bus guide's explanations. However, we didn't have enough time to fully appreciate the Himeyuri Monument, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, it was a very satisfying tour.

行きたい所を短時間ですが、効率よく回れるツアーでした。
バスガイドさんの説明も聞けて個人で行くより絶対良いと思います。
ただ、ひめゆりの塔は時間が少ないので、ゆっくりは見れません。
そこだけ残念でしたが、大満足なツアーでした。

We are using Veltra tours for several years across different continents and countries. All tours are of very high quality and very good value for money. This tour in Tokyo was not an exception.
First of all: itinerary is very well developed. Between each stops bus passing very interesting places. During the whole tour you are keep looking around. Worth mentioning that tour guide Mario speaking fluent English, very knowlegeable and friendly. Bus was very comfortable, good working Fi Wi. Buffet lunch included in the tour was of very high quality, very tasty with big options of meals from different origins.
Tokyo bay is a must see. Spectacular views of Tokyo harbour from the cruise boat.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

It was sunny and hot, but I had a great time! I was impressed that they even distributed cooling patches! I would like to use this service again when I go to Osaka!

日差しがあり暑かったけど、とても楽しかったです‼️冷えピタまで配布して下さって、感激しました❗️また大阪に行った時は利用したいと思います‼️

We used this service with our family during Obon. This is my second time in Ishigaki Island, but when combined with Naha, I've visited Okinawa about ten times every year. I always enjoy snorkeling tours and option menus on the remote islands, but I realized I hadn't done any sightseeing on the islands? This was my first time participating. The hotel shuttle was convenient, and the bus was large and comfortable. Although the schedule was a bit tight, we were able to see all the highlights and I was very satisfied with the sightseeing. The boat to the remote islands was also very impressive and comfortable. The tour company staff were very friendly, which made me feel secure participating. This year, I have more wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

お盆中家族で利用しました。石垣島は2度目ですが那覇とあわせると10回程度沖縄には毎年訪れています。いつも離島シュノーケルツアーやらオプションメニューで楽しんでばかりで離島観光に行っていない事に気ずき？初めて参加しました。ホテルの送迎も便利でバスも大きなバスでゆったり出来ました。少し時間は忙しかったですが見どころはきちんと押さえた観光が出来て大変満足です。離島に渡る船もとても立派な船でゆったり出来ました。ツアー会社の方も大変感じが良く安心して参加できました。今年もまた良い思い出が増えました。ありがとうございました。

This time we took the North Course, but next time I definitely want to try the South Course as well. When I immediately told my friends, even the locals from Osaka said they wanted to try it! It was satisfying not just for foreigners, but for Japanese people as well. The explanations were easy to understand and very helpful.

今回はきたコースでしたが、次回はみなみコースも是非行ってみたいと思います。
直ぐに友人に話してみたら、地元の大阪人も言ってみたいと言ってました！外国の人ばかりでなく、日本人にも満足でした。
解説もわかりやすくて助かりました。

We used this service for a family trip that included my mother and my husband's mother. While our family played at the beach, the two mothers took a bus tour. They said the guide's stories were interesting and that the places they visited were very nice.

On the way there, they picked us up from the hotel, but it was a bit unclear that we would be dropped off at the bus terminal on the way back. However, they kindly explained the bus details, including where to board, so we were able to return without any issues.

私・主人の母含めた家族旅行で利用。
私たち家族が海で遊んでいる間に、母２人がバスツアーを利用しました。ガイドさんの話が面白くて、まわったところもとてもよかったと言っていました。
行きはホテルに迎えに来てもらったのですが、帰りはバスターミナル解散というのがわかりずらかったです。
でもホテルまでのバスについて、乗り場など丁寧に教えてくれ、問題なく帰ってこれました。

Not enough English information. Japanese participants learned much more than did those listening to the translation audio

It was my first time visiting Taketomi Island, and I'm glad I had such a fun time. I also went into the sea, but since it was the day I was leaving, I was disappointed that I couldn't stay long. The scenery was similar everywhere, and I felt like I might get lost, so I would have appreciated a more detailed map of the island's shops and such.

竹富島に行くのは、初めてでしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができてよかったです。
海にも入りましたが、当日、帰る日だったので、長居できなくて残念でした。
風景がどこもにていて、道がわからなくなりそうだったので、島の店などのもう少し詳しい地図があったらありがたかったです。

Positive points:

- They provide transportation to the hotel.
- They stop at a souvenir shop.
- The 3-hour visit to the Churaumi Aquarium was just right.
- The price is affordable.

Negative points:

- The bus was old and uncomfortable, causing a strange shaking that made my back hurt the whole time.
- There were people getting sick from motion sickness, which was unfortunate.
- It took about 10 minutes to walk from the bus stop at Churaumi Aquarium to the gate, which was tough in the heat.

I wish this information had been provided in advance.

事前に記載しておいてほしいです

It was a one-hour bus tour, but I was able to explore Osaka city and enjoy it more than I expected. The guide's explanations were also fun!

一時間のバスでの観光でしたが、大阪市内を周れて予想以上に大阪を堪能できました。ガイドさんの解説も楽しかったですよ!

The guide was from Yakushima and shared various stories about the island while explaining the famous spots. It was interesting to hear that despite having such beautiful seas, the locals prefer playing in the rivers rather than swimming in the ocean. The stories were engaging throughout. The lunch was substantial and offered great value for money.

ガイドさんが、屋久島出身のかたで屋久島のいろいろな話を交えて、名所名所では解説してくれます。あんなにきれいな海なのに地元の人は海水浴ではなく川遊びしかしないとか、いろいろなところでお話が面白かった。昼食もしっかりしておりコスパも最高です。

I participated in a tour of two World Heritage sites, Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, as part of my trip to Kanazawa. While the time allocated for sightseeing at the two World Heritage sites wasn't exactly leisurely, it was sufficient for a good visit, and we even stopped at an observation deck that offered a panoramic view of Shirakawa-go, which wasn't part of the original plan. The lunch was quite tasty, and I finished it all. In addition to visiting the World Heritage sites, the tour also took us through the three prefectures of Ishikawa, Toyama, and Gifu, allowing us to enjoy the mountains of virgin forests and rivers flowing through valleys centered around the Hakusan range, as well as waterfalls. There were no obligatory souvenir shop stops typical of bus tours, making it a highly satisfying tour and a fulfilling day.

金沢旅行のオプションに白川郷と五箇山の合掌造りの２つの世界遺産ツアーに参加しました。２つの世界遺産はゆっくりとまでは言えないものの観光に十分な時間設定がされていて、予定になかった白川郷全景が一望できる展望台にも立ち寄ってくれました。昼食もまずまず美味しくて完食。また世界遺産観光のみならず、移動では石川、富山、岐阜の三県を巡りますが、白山系を中心に原生林の山々や谷に流れる川、滝巡りも楽しめます。バスツアーに付き物の土産物屋のはしごも無くて、満足度の高いツアーで充実した１日となりました。

I was impressed by the courteous and attentive service from start to finish. The guidance on how to enjoy the Churaumi Aquarium was excellent. Thanks to this, we were able to efficiently visit the aquarium and catch the dolphin show within our limited time.

On the bus, our guide even took the time to put her hair up and wear a costume, singing with a gentle, clear voice. She was talented in playing the shamisen and also performed hula dance.

The driver also made sure to say "Have a good day" to each person every time, which showed his dedication to his work. I thought this kind of thoughtful consideration is probably the secret to making it a popular tour.

The breathtaking views of Kouri Island are still etched in my memory. I learned a lot about Okinawa's history and culture, and my whole family said they want to come back again. Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで、丁寧で行き届いた対応で感激しました。
美ら海水族館の楽しみ方や案内がすごく上手でした。
おかげで限られた時間の中、水族館からイルカショーまで効率よく
まわることができました。
バスの中ではわざわざ髪をアップして衣装を羽織り
透き通るやさしいお声で歌ってくれました。
三味線も上手、フラダンスもやっておられる多才なガイドさんです。

運転手さんも一人ひとりにきちんと毎回”いってらっしゃい”と
声を掛けていて、仕事に対する姿勢を感じました。
こういう細やかな気遣いが、人気ツアーになる秘訣なのかな
と思いました。

古宇利島の絶景は、今でも目に焼き付いています。
沖縄の歴史・文化もたくさん教えていただいて楽しかったので、
家族皆また来たいと言っていました。
ありがとうとざいました。

Although it took almost double time to get to the first destination because the day we attended tour was just before holiday and everyone went their hometown, the guide Hiroshi-san was entertaining us and taught us many aspects of Japan!
That was shame that at some destination we had only a half of normal time, so we had to rush seeing the places, but that's due to the traffic jam and couldn't be helped.
Thanks to guide's tip, we were able to get a good blueberry ice cream!
