All Reviews for Bus Tours

On the day I participated, it seems that only those coming from Naha had some extra time, allowing us to arrive at Manzamo earlier than scheduled. Additionally, there was consideration to visit the Churaumi Aquarium during lunchtime. Since there was no traffic on the expressway, we were able to return earlier than planned. The seating was free (though it seems there are designated seats for a certain number of people).

There were a few disappointing aspects. It seems typical for bus tours, but I think the long time spent at the Okashi Goten and Pineapple Park is just to encourage purchases. I believe it would be better to skip these two, even if it means raising the tour price. Honestly, it felt like a waste of time. Also, the bus guide lacked a smile and was a bit intimidating... I particularly felt this because the guide on the Hokkaido tour with Veltra was friendly and smiling.

Overall, it was a good tour to participate in, especially since it's inconvenient to visit places like the Churaumi Aquarium individually.

参加した日は、那覇から参加の方だけとのことで、時間に余裕があったらしく、予定時間より早く万座毛にも到着でき、また、最後に行く予定の美ら海水族館をお昼ご飯の時間に行けるように配慮はされていました。那覇到着も高速等が混んでなかったこともあり、予定より早く戻ることができました。席も自由でした。（ある程度の人数からは指定席らしいです）
残念なことがいくつかあります。バスツアーならではでしょうが、御菓子御殿とパイナップルパークはお菓子を買わせるために長い時間を取ってあるのだろうと思いますが、ツアーの値段を上げてもいいから、この２つは寄らなくていいと思います。正直、時間の無駄でした。また、バスガイドさんに笑顔がなくてちょっと怖かった…と言うところです。ベルトラさんの北海道のツアーのガイドさんが笑顔で感じのいい方だったので、特にそう感じました。
個人で美ら海水族館などに行くには不便なので、総合的には参加してよかったツアーでした。

The guide provided an enthusiastic explanation. They also taught us how to plan our visit to match the showtimes at Okinawa World, allowing us to fully enjoy the Eisa performance. Our return flight was at 3 PM, but we were able to make the most of our time in the morning.

ガイドの方が熱心に解説してくれました。
おきなわワールドでのショーの時間に合わせた回り方も教えてもらい、エイサーを満喫することができました。
帰り午後3時の便だったのですが、午前中の時間を有意義に使うことができました。

It was a comfortable tour. I think the price is quite reasonable. I wondered if it would be better to choose either Manzamo or Kouri Island and increase the stay time a little at each. Unfortunately, when crossing the bridge to Kouri Island, many people closed the window curtains (because the sun was too bright), so I couldn't see the beautiful ocean. There were foreign visitors both before and after, and we couldn't communicate... I wished the guide had said something like, "Please open the curtains as we cross the bridge."

快適なツアーでした。値段もお安いと思います。　万座毛か、古宇利島、どちらかにして、全ての滞在時間を少しずつ増やした方が良いかなと思いました。残念だったのは、古宇利島の橋を渡る時、窓のカーテンを(太陽が眩しくて)閉めている人が多く、せっかくの海のきれいさが見れませんでした。前後とも外国の方で、言葉も通じず…。ガイドの方が、「橋を渡るのでカーテンを開けてください」みたいな声をかけて欲しかったです。

I was able to leisurely explore Shirakawa-go and Takayama. I received recommendations for places to visit, and since I wanted to avoid crowds, I went to those locations. It was such a luxurious experience; I almost had the places to myself and could take my time to enjoy them. Thank you! ♪

全体にゆったりと白川郷と飛騨高山を散策できました。
おすすめポイントを教えていただき、人混みを避けたかったのでその場所へ行きました。
なんと贅沢なことか、ほぼひとりじめ状態で、ゆっくり見学できました。
ありがとうございました♪

You can easily get from Sapporo Station to the zoo entrance, which is convenient. I was just in time to see the penguin parade, and it was awesome!

札幌駅前から動物園入口まで行けるので、楽ちんです。ギリギリペンギンパレードも見られてサイコーでした！

I chose this tour because it allows me to visit both the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village.

While there is the downside of a limited time frame, I am very satisfied that I could visit many new places in a short amount of time!

We were also blessed with good weather and were able to see the sunset at American Village.

美ら海水族館、アメリカンビレッジ両方行くことができるため、このツアーを選びました。

制限時間に限りがあるデメリットもありますが、短い時間で多くの初めての場所をめぐることができとても満足です！

天気にも恵まれ、アメリカンビレッジで夕陽が沈む瞬間を見ることもできました。

When we arrived at Taketomi Port, a shuttle microbus was waiting for us right by the side. Getting onto the ox cart was smooth as well. Due to our schedule, we chose a shorter course, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere sufficiently. Since we had some time before the return boat, we walked towards the port while exploring the town. There is also a shuttle bus service for the return trip, so I think it's reassuring for those with mobility issues.

竹富港に着くと送迎のマイクロバスが横付けで迎えに来てくれてます。
牛車乗込みまでもスムーズでした。スケジュールの関係で短めのコースを選びましたが、十分雰囲気を味わいました。帰りの船まで多少時間がとれるので、町中を散策しながら徒歩で港に向かいました。帰りも送迎バスの運行があるので、足の悪い方も安心だと思います。

I went on a bus tour by myself for the first time. The weather was great, and I was lucky to have a nice person sitting next to me... It turned out to be a fulfilling day! The tour guide shared a lot of information about delicious souvenirs and the characteristics of the area! Their approach was just right—neither too close nor too distant—and their kind and attentive service made me feel very comfortable.

初めて1人でバスツアーに行きました。
天気にも恵まれ、座席のお隣の方にも恵まれ…
充実した1日になりました！
添乗員さんは、美味しいお土産やその土地の特徴などたくさんお話ししてくださいました！つかず離れずな感じで、親切丁寧な対応で、とても心地が良かったです。

It was very convenient to depart from and arrive at Sapporo Station! The lift to the jump area at Ōzora Mountain was very refreshing, and we were blessed with great weather! I definitely want to participate again!

札幌駅発着で、とても便利でした！
大皿山のジャンプだいまでのリフトはとても爽快で、お天気にも恵まれました！
またぜひ参加したいです！

All parts of the tour were great, but thanks to our guide Keiko on March 20, 2025, it became the best trip. She provided kind and detailed explanations, making it a valuable and happy day. I am grateful.

ツアー全て良かった中、2025.3.20ガイドケイコさんのおかげで、最高な旅となりました。優しく丁寧な説明などして頂き、価値が有り、幸せな一日を過ごせました。感謝致します。

I was able to take my time and enjoy the tour. The guide provided thorough explanations in both English and Japanese, which was great. The lunch was delicious, and it was nice to feel the essence of Kyoto.

工程的にゆっくり回る事が出来た。
ガイドの方も英語と日本語で丁寧に説明され
良かった。
昼食が美味しく、京都を感じられて良かった。

I participated in a day trip tour from Osaka to Amanohashidate and the Ine Boat Houses. I think I could probably go on my own, but the tour is convenient since they take you by bus. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so Amanohashidate looked a bit hazy, but it was still very beautiful. I didn't know about the Ine Boat Houses, but it's a very lovely town that you can explore in about 20 minutes. Riding the sightseeing boat and feeding the seagulls was also a lot of fun.

大阪から日帰りで天橋立、伊根の舟屋のツアーに参加しました。
自分でもおそらく行けるのだと思いますが、バスで連れて行ってくれるので、ツアーは楽です。あいにくの曇り空だったので、天橋立は少し霞んで見えましたが、でもとても綺麗でした。伊根の舟屋の存在は知らなかったのですが、とても綺麗な街で20分もあれば全てまわれます。遊覧船に乗ってカモメの餌やりもとても楽しかった。

I was very satisfied with how efficiently I could visit various tourist spots! I was able to see a beautiful sunset at American Village. 150 minutes at the aquarium might not be enough.

色んな観光地を効率よく回れて大満足でした！
ちょうどアメリカンビレッジで美しい夕日を見ることができました。
水族館は150分だと足りないかも。

The weather was bad, but the guide's explanation was great! 😆🎵🎵 However, it was cold. I still want to ride it the next time I come to Osaka.

天気が悪かったけれどガイドさんの説明良かったです😆🎵🎵でも寒かったです
未だ今度 大阪に来た時乗りたいです

Thank you, tour guide Mr. Chou.

The support was wonderful, and you skillfully switched between Chinese and Japanese, which was impressive.

Thank you to the driver as well for being very kind and driving safely.

ツアーガイドのチョウさん
ありがとうございました

サポートも素晴らしく、中国語と日本語を上手に使い分けて素晴らしかったです

運転手さんもとてもお優しく安全運転でありがとうございました

On my first trip to Okinawa, I was torn between renting a car and joining a bus tour, but choosing the bus tour was the right decision. It took us to famous tourist spots in Okinawa, and the bus guide's stories were enjoyable. The time spent at each location was a bit short, but we were able to visit many places, which was great. If I had rented a car, someone would have had to drive, and we wouldn't have been able to relax as much, but on the bus, I could take a nap if I got tired and enjoy a more leisurely experience.

初めての沖縄で、レンタカーと迷いましたが、バスツアーをお願いして、正解でした。
沖縄の有名な観光地に連れて行ってくれるし、バスガイドさんのお話も楽しかったです。
1カ所ずつの時間は短めだけど、その分沢山の場所を回れたので、良かったです。
レンタカーだと誰かが運転して、ゆっくりできないですが、バスなら疲れたら眠ったりもできて、ゆったりと過ごせました。

You can efficiently visit attractions that are difficult to reach on your own. The set duration for each stop is well-balanced, allowing for ample sightseeing. The guide switches between Japanese and Chinese while providing explanations and also shares recommendations, which was very helpful!

自力では回れない名所を効率よく観光できます。設定されている滞在時間もバランスがよく、充分観光できました。
ガイドさんは日本語と中国語を切り替えながら説明してくれますが、オススメなども教えてくれてとても良かったです！

I participated in a bus tour for the first time. It seemed to be a tour aimed at foreigners, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the guide provided information in both English and Japanese, even taking photos for us. I had a very enjoyable and fulfilling day.

初めてバスツアーに参加させて頂きました。外国人を対象とするツアーだったようで最初はドキドキでしたが　ガイドさんが英語と日本語両方で案内してくださり　写真まで撮ってくれてとても楽しい充実した1日を過ごす事が出来ました。

There were many people from overseas, and except for a few, everyone was punctual. It was really great.

I had a lot of fun; everywhere I went was a good place.

海外の方が多く
一部の方を除き時間厳守で
凄く良かったです

The bus runs through the amazing snow towards Shirakawa-go. I had a slight anxiety in my heart about whether we could return.

However, thanks to the wonderful driver's skills and the enjoyable guide's commentary, I was able to fully appreciate the snowy Shirakawa-go and the streets of Takayama.

I think of the efforts of those who are dedicated to preserving Shirakawa-go.

I felt grateful to have participated in this tour and to have had such a unique experience.

驚くような雪の中バスは白川郷へと走っていきます。心の中では戻ってこれるのかという一抹の不安もありました。

ところが、素晴らしいドライバーさんの運転と楽しいガイドさんの案内で雪の白川郷と高山の街並みを堪能させていただきました。

あの白川郷を大切に守っている方々のご苦労を思います。

なかなかできない体験をすることができ、このツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

We gathered at Kanazawa Station at 8 AM, and the bus was mostly filled with foreign tourists. It was an older sightseeing bus, and there was no restroom.

Since we arrived early, there weren't many people around, and the snowy scenery was charming. After a while, it became crowded with foreign tourists, which surprised me.

As soon as we arrived, we had free time. I hurriedly walked to the farthest point while taking photos. I couldn't stroll around because of the time constraints, so personally, I wished I had a bit more time.

For lunch, we had a healthy course meal with plenty of wild vegetables at a restaurant with the tour group. The portion was small, but it was just right for me. The grilled meat on the magnolia leaf was very delicious.

When we arrived at the second location, Gokayama, the snow started to fall heavily. There were hardly any people here, and it was quiet and picturesque. I preferred this place more.

Finally, the cheerful smile of the bus guide, who provided explanations in both English and Japanese with some humor, was great. I was satisfied to be able to visit the snowy Shirakawa-go and Gokayama!

朝8時に金沢駅集合、バスはほぼ
外国の方で埋まってました。ちょっと古めの観光バス、トイレはありません。

現地に早く着いたので、あまり人もおらず雪景色が風情があった。少し経つと外国の観光客で溢れかえっていて、びっくりした。

着いてすぐフリータイム。急ぎ足であちこち写真撮りながら一番端っこまで歩く。時間がないのでブラブラはできず、個人的にはもう少し時間欲しかったかな。

ランチはツアーの人とレストランでヘルシーな山菜多めのコース料理。量は少なめだけど、私にはちょうど良い。朴葉焼のお肉がとてもおいしかった。

二箇所目の五箇山に着くと雪が本降り。こちらにはほとんど人がいなく静かで趣深い。こちらの方が好みであった。

最後にバスガイドさんの明るい笑顔で英語と日本語での笑いも交えながらの説明、良かったです。雪の白川郷、五箇山に行く事が出来て満足です！

I appreciate the care of the tour guide. It was a very enjoyable day and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

添乗員さんのお気遣いに感謝です
とても楽しい１日になりました
良い思い出になりました
ありがとうございました

I was able to efficiently explore Biei in winter. The guide was kind and gentle, providing explanations before we arrived at each destination, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was able to create wonderful memories. If I travel to Hokkaido again, I would like to join a tour with the same company.

冬の美瑛を効率的に回ることができました。ガイドの方も親切で優しくて、目的地に着く前に説明してくださるので、より楽しむ事ができました。素敵な思い出を作ることができました。また北海道に旅行に来たら、同じ会社のツアーに参加したいと思います。

After walking over 20,000 steps each day for three days on the train and on foot, the one-day bus tour was a great experience. The tour guide took photos for us and pointed out great photo spots, leaving us with wonderful memories. During our four-day, three-night stay, we walked over 20,000 steps every day and were touched by the kindness of the people in Kyoto. The three sisters had a fun trip together.

毎日電車、歩きで2万歩以上歩いた後の3日目のバス1日ツアー、添乗員さんが写真を写して下さったり写真スポットを教えてくださり良い思い出の写真が残りました。
３泊4日毎日2万歩以上歩き京都の皆さんの優しさに触れ三姉妹楽しく旅をする事ができました。

The water buffalo named Aapa took nearly 20 people on a tour of Taketomi Island. The guide's stories and the performance of the sanshin were great too! ☺

水牛のアーパーくん、20人近くを乗せて、竹富島を案内してくれました。ガイドさんのお話、三線の弾き語りもよかったです☺

The weather was nice, and the Iriomote Island cruise, along with the water buffalo to Yufu Island, was a smooth tour with no waiting time at all! The lunch was delicious. I definitely recommend it!

天気もよく、西表島クルーズ、水牛〜由布島
待ち時間もなく、全てスムーズなツアーでした！
お弁当も美味しかった
絶対オススメです！

The weather was nice, and I was able to efficiently cover the highlights while having a great time. The guide was very enjoyable, providing detailed explanations and attentive service, which was excellent. It became a wonderful memory.

お天気も良く、とても効率的に見どころをおさえて、楽しく参加させて頂けました。ガイドさんは、とても楽しく、詳しい説明と丁寧な対応でとても良かったです。良い思い出になりました。

The guide was very polite and provided detailed explanations, and we were blessed with good weather, which made the experience very enjoyable. We toured the island and had a fulfilling day filled with highlights.

ガイドさんがとても、丁寧で詳しい説明をして下さり、お天気にも恵まれとても楽しむことが出来ました。島を巡り、充実した1日を過ごすことが出来、見どころ満載でした。

This tour efficiently takes you around Sapporo for the last half day by bus! The view from the ski jump was great, and the Shiroi Koibito Park was fun. After finishing lunch at the outer market, we got off in front of the station in the afternoon and headed to New Chitose Airport by train. The earphone guide's commentary was also interesting.

札幌の最後の半日をバスで効率的に周っててもらえるツアーです！
ジャンプ台の見晴らしもよく、白い恋人パークも楽しかった。場外市場での昼食を終えての昼過ぎに駅前で降車後、新千歳空港へ電車で向かいました。
イヤホンガイドの案内も面白かったです。

The tour guide was wonderful, and we were able to sightsee without any stress. By chance, the bamboo grove was also not crowded, allowing us to fully enjoy winter in Kyoto.

添乗員さんが素晴らしく、ストレスなく観光できました。たまたま？竹林も空いていたので冬の京都を堪能できた。
