All Reviews for Private Charter Tours

I requested a sightseeing tour of about three and a half hours. I was accompanied to Osaka Castle, Tsutenkaku, Abeno Harukas from the car window, and Ebisu Bridge in Dotonbori, as well as for souvenir shopping. For lunch, I was blown away by the authentic takoyaki and negiyaki recommended by the driver! I'm glad I added the transfer to Itami Airport. I'm very satisfied! 😊

約３時間半の観光をお願いしました。
大阪城の案内、通天閣、車窓からのアベノハルカス、道頓堀の戎橋、お土産購入などに同行してもらいました。
ランチにはドライバーさんオススメの本場のたこ焼きとネギ焼きに悶絶！
伊丹空港までの送迎も追加して良かったです。大満足です😊

The driver was very pleasant, and I appreciate the enjoyable sightseeing experience. There was no sense of overstepping, yet it didn't feel lacking either; it was a perfectly balanced guide.

ドライバーさんがとても感じ良く、気分の良い観光をさせて頂き、感謝です。
差し出がましさ感もなく、かといって、物足りなさも感じさせず、程よい塩梅のガイドでした。

The sedan was honestly an old model, but the driver was a very kind and experienced person. I had many places I wanted to visit, but he organized the schedule properly so that we could visit everything within the time limit. Thanks to that, we were able to see everything without wasting any time, which I really appreciated.

セダンは正直古いタイプでしたが、ドライバーさんは熟年のとても親切な方で、見学場所を沢山希望していたのですが、時間内に回れるようにきちんと、スケジュールを組んで回ってくれました。
そのおかげで、無駄なく全ての見学が出来て、有り難かったです。

The 6-hour course was a very fulfilling sightseeing experience, allowing us to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kinkaku-ji, Ryōan-ji, Kitano Tenmangū, and Ginkaku-ji✨️. The explanations provided by our guide were also interesting, and I was impressed by the secret at Ryōan-ji, which I felt they must have known because they have lived in Kyoto for a long time. I could feel the energy at Fushimi Inari Taisha and Kinkaku-ji as power spots. With a sightseeing taxi, we were able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to see in one day using trains and buses, and we could also hear various interesting tidbits (which was a big plus). I would definitely like to request this service again when I visit Kyoto!✨️ Thank you!

6時間コースで、伏見稲荷大社、金閣寺、龍安寺、北野天満宮、銀閣寺と見学できてとても充実した観光でした✨️
担当して下さった方の説明も面白く、龍安寺での秘密？は、長く京都に住まわれてるから分かったのだろうなと感動しました。伏見稲荷大社、金閣寺とパワースポットを感じました。電車バスだと１日では観光できないところを観光タクシーでは効率よくまわれて、豆知識（これは大きい）も色々聞けるので、また京都観光の際はぜひお願いしたいです✨️ありがとうございました！

I’ve lived in Tokyo for 10 years and thought I’d seen it all — but Time Trip Taxi genuinely surprised me. What looks like a regular taxi ride from Tokyo Station to Asakusa transforms into an immersive AR journey through Edo-period Japan. The moment the visuals kick in and modern Tokyo fades into old Edo, you completely forget you’re just sitting in a cab. The virtual guide walks you through the history in such an engaging way that by the time you step out in Asakusa, you see the whole area with completely different eyes. The temple, the streets, the atmosphere — everything hits differently when you actually know the story behind it. The transition between the AR visuals and the real city is seamless and so well done. Honestly one of the most unique and memorable experiences I’ve had in Japan.

It was a fun experience, it would be an amazing experience especially for young children

I wanted my parents, who traveled from afar to attend my wedding, to enjoy some sightseeing as a gift, so I booked a taxi tour. However, the driver's voice was too quiet, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. I had imagined a lively atmosphere in the car with the driver sharing various stories about Miyako Island, but it was completely quiet, and the car was silent throughout the ride. My parents didn't have much fun, and it felt like we ended up with a disappointing driver. Unfortunately, the taxi tour, which was meant to be a gift, left a bad impression in the end.

私の結婚式に参加するため遠くから来てくれた両親に観光を楽しんでもらいたいと思いプレゼントの意味も込めタクシー観光を申し込みましたが、運転手さんの声が小さく、何を言っているのかわかりませんでした。
運転手さんが宮古島のことをいろいろと教えてくださり、終始話で盛り上がる車内を想像していましたが、まったく盛り上がらず、車内は静まり返っていました。
両親もあまり楽しめず、ハズレの運転手さんに当たってしまった感があり、プレゼントのタクシー観光が最後の最後に嫌な思いが残るものとなってしまいました。

I used a wheelchair, and the staff were very kind, helping me up and down the slopes at the Churaumi Aquarium. I would definitely like to use their services again. Thank you very much!

車椅子で利用させていただきましたが美ら海水族館の坂を行き帰り押していただいたりとても親切な方でまた利用したいなと思いました。本当にありがとうございました。

I had a fantastic time on the Taiko Rock course for five hours with our guide, Mr. Kimura. It flew by as he taught us various things along the way. The pacing, photo spots, and tips on how to take pictures, along with knowledge about Yakushima, were all things we wouldn't have learned if we had climbed on our own. We experienced everything from subtropical to northeastern climates, and even moments of sunshine turning into fog. The river water was delicious, making the Yakushima hike absolutely amazing. I felt like a child again, enjoying every moment, and I want to return to Yakushima next time to experience Yakusugi Land and marine sports! I would be thrilled to meet the same guide again then.

木全さんと言うガイドさんについて頂き、色々教えて貰いながらの太鼓岩コース5時間はあっという間で、本当に楽しかったです。
ペース配分、写真スポットや撮り方、屋久島の知識、自分達だけで登っていたら知り得ない事ばかりでした。
亜熱帯から東北地方の気候まで、晴れから霧がかかった瞬間も体験でき、川の水も美味しく屋久島登山は最高でした。
童心に返って楽しむ事ができたので、次回ヤクスギランドやマリンスポーツを体験しに屋久島に行きたいと思います！その時、また同じガイドさんに巡り会えたら嬉しいです。

I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, and it was very convenient since they provided pick-up and drop-off at the hotel. The driver listened to our requests, and the conversations during the ride were enjoyable, making the day fly by. I was happy to be taken to places we didn't know about and to hear explanations about the area. I'm really glad I entrusted everything to a professional. Thank you, Hara, for a wonderful day!

初めて観光タクシーを利用しましたが、ホテルまでの送迎していただけるのでとても楽でした。ドライバーさんにはこちらの希望を聞いていただき、移動中のお話も楽しくあっという間の一日でした。私たちが知らない場所にも連れて行って下さり、その土地の説明など聞けて嬉しかったです。プロにおまかせして本当によかったと思いました。はら様、素敵な一日をありがとうございました。

We took this time travel taxi from Tokyo station to Ueno station and it was so much fun, very informative and allowed us to learn about the Edo period in Japan and the taxi itself was very comfortable and smooth.

The driver was very kind and considerate, which was a great help. I was looking forward to Takachiho, but I didn't know that I needed to make a reservation for the boat in advance. When I arrived, it was already sold out, so I couldn't ride the boat. Unfortunately, the day I went coincided with the Takachiho Spring Festival, and the roads were closed, which meant we couldn't use the usual routes. This caused delays, and we couldn't visit Aso Mountain and Kusasenri in the latter part of our sightseeing. The driver apologized profusely, but if I had received this information from Veltra in advance, I could have changed my schedule, so it was disappointing.

とても親切なドライバーさんで、色々気を使って下さり助かりました。楽しみにしていた高千穂でしたが、ボートの予約を先にしておかないといけないのを知らず、行ったら既に完売で、ボートには乗れませんでした。
生憎、行った日が、高千穂の春祭りと重なってしまい、道路が閉鎖されるという事で、従来通る道が使えないので、時間が掛かるため、観光内容の後半の阿蘇山や草千里は行けませんでした。
ドライバーさんは恐縮してお詫びをさえましたが、前もってこの情報がベルトラさんから聞いていれば、日程を変えることも出来たので、残念です。

I went on my first trip to Okinawa and was worried about driving, so I used a charter taxi for two days. The driver was very friendly and a great person! I would like to use this taxi service again when I come back for another trip!

初めての沖縄旅行、運転が心配で、貸し切りタクシーを2日間利用しました。運転手さんがとても気さくで良い方でした！また旅行に来る時はこちらのタクシーを頼みたいです！

I traveled with my elderly mother, so I had some concerns. I wanted to show her as many places as possible, but I didn't want to put too much strain on her body, which is why I chose this plan.

Thanks to the driver's kind consideration, it turned into an amazing day that exceeded our expectations. I am filled with gratitude.

If I have the opportunity to visit Kyoto again, I would definitely like to request this service.

年老いた母を連れての旅行でしたので、少し不安がありました。できるだけたくさんの場所を見せてあげたいが、体に負担をかけたくないという思いでこのプランを申し込みました。
運転手さんの優しいご配慮により、予定以上の最高の1日になりました。感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
もしまた京都に行くことになりましたら、是非お願いしたいと思います。

I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, and I'm really glad I did! They took me to all the places I wanted to go and helped me do everything I wanted, making for a fulfilling day. I also requested a female driver, and they were very accommodating, which I really appreciated. The driver who assisted me was a wonderful person. I definitely want to use this service again.

初めて観光タクシーを利用したのですが、お願いをして本当に良かったです！！
行きたい場所全てに連れて行ってくださり、やりたいことを全てやることができ、充実した1日になりました。
また女性ドライバーさんをお願いしたいとの要望にも応えてくださり、大変ありがたかったです。担当してくださったドライバーさんが、とても素敵な方でした。ぜひまた利用したいです。

I was able to immerse myself in the world of mythology and enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Aso, which was very refreshing. I was satisfied with the course, as they took the time to visit the places I hoped to see. It was great to enjoy the drive with the local driver's experienced handling, allowing us to visit many spots and take photos within the time we had.

神話の世界に浸り、阿蘇山の壮大な眺めを見てとてもリフレッシュ出来ました。コースは、希望の場所に時間を取ってもらい満足です。現地の人の慣れた運転で安心してドライブを楽しめ時間内にたくさんのスポットに行き写真も撮れたことは、良かったです。

I came to Okinawa last March, but the weather was so bad that I couldn't fully enjoy it, so I came back for a revenge trip. The itinerary was packed, but the taxi driver was really accommodating, and we were able to go to almost all the places I wanted to visit.

Although it wasn't perfect due to the tight schedule and lack of time, I was almost satisfied with the day. Thank you for your help!

去年3月に沖縄に来たのに　天候が悪すぎて満喫出来なかったので　リベンジで来ました　みっちりの行程でしたがタクシーの運転手さんが　凄く合わせてくれて　希望のところに　ほぼ行けました
行程を詰めすぎたとこと　時間が足りなかった理由で　完璧まで少し満たなかったのですが…😓ほぼ満足の1日でした。
お世話なりました〜

We participated as a family of four: a couple in their late 40s, a high school daughter, and a middle school son. Since we only had three days off during spring break, we searched extensively for a tour that would allow us to visit Takoiwa, a place our children, who love "Princess Mononoke," wanted to go, while also satisfying my husband. I was very happy when I found Tsugimura's tour. At the same time, I had concerns about whether we could complete it without maintaining our stamina.

The night before, I felt the excitement of a school trip, but to conserve energy, we went to bed at 8 PM. On the day of the tour, meeting Tsugimura brought a sense of nervous anticipation, but once the tour started, those feelings quickly faded. His words, filled with love for Yakushima, were accompanied by a great sense of humor. The kids seemed to relax right away, allowing us to trek with peace of mind. It was tough, but perhaps the heavens were on our side, as it didn't rain, and we were able to conquer all the spots we wanted to visit. Tsugimura's guidance made the 12-hour tour feel like it flew by, providing a reassuring presence throughout.

Looking up at the long-awaited Jomon Sugi was a moment of quiet, overwhelming presence. The magnificent view from Takoiwa and the pink mountain cherry blossoms were breathtaking. Surrounded by the greenery of Shiratani Unsuikyo and the mossy forest, we felt the vastness of nature and a sense of accomplishment that couldn't be captured in photos. I truly believe that nothing surpasses real experiences!

If we had gone without a guide, we likely would have stopped often for photos and breaks, struggling to manage our pace, and might have missed some spots. Tsugimura, with his love for Yakushima, knew the best places and angles for photos, allowing us to look back and relive the journey's afterglow!

After the tour, my husband said, "I'm glad we had Tsugimura as our guide," and I couldn't help but do a little fist pump in my heart! The kids were also very satisfied to experience the world of "Princess Mononoke."

We are truly grateful for everything. Thank you very much! (^^)

40代後半夫婦、高1娘、中2息子の4人で参加しました。春休み中で休みが３日しか取れないので、中一日でできるだけ回れる、もののけ姫好きの子達が行きたい太鼓岩まで行ける、夫も満足できると言う条件が揃ったツアーを随分探しました。津曲さんのツアーを見つけた時は、とても嬉しかったです。それと同時に、体力を維持していないと制覇できないのではという不安もありました。
前日の夜は、遠足前のワクワク感もありましたが、体力をもたせるために夜8時に就寝しました。
当日津曲さんにお会いして、いよいよ始まるんだという緊張感もありましたが、ツアーがスタートしてからはそんな気持ちもすぐになくなりました。屋久島への想いが詰まった言葉の数々に溢れ出すユーモアセンス。子達もすぐに気持ちがほぐれたようで、安心してトレッキングできました。しんどかったですが、天が味方してくれたのか、雨が降ることもなく、行きたいと思っていたスポットは全て制覇できました。12時間とは思えないほどあっという間だった津曲さんのガイドはは安心感そのままでした。
念願の縄文杉を見上げた時の静かなる圧倒的な存在感。太鼓岩からの壮大な景色と桃色の山桜。白谷雲水峡と苔むす森の緑に囲まれた私達。写真では伝えきれない、自分の足で歩いたからこそ感じられる目の前に広がる大自然と達成感。実体験に勝るものはない！と思いました。
もしガイドをつけず、自分たちだけで行っていたら、写真や休憩で立ち止まることが多くなり、上手くペース配分ができず、辿り着けないスポットもあったのではないかと思います。写真は、屋久島愛のある津曲さんだからこそわかるとっておきの場所やベストのアングルで撮って頂けるので、後から見返せて旅の余韻もばっかりです！
ツアー終了後に、夫からの「津曲さんにガイドしてもらえてよかったな。」という言葉に心の中でガッツポーズ！
子達ももののけ姫の世界観を体験できて大満足でした。
本当に本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました(^^)

The driver was a local and very kind, and he was flexible in responding to our requests regarding the destination, which was helpful.

However, there were a few points that differed from our expectations.

1. The vehicle was a van type instead of a sedan. While a van isn't a problem in itself, we chose this plan because my wife tends to get car sick, so we intended to upgrade the vehicle. However, the vehicle we had on the day seemed to have issues; it was very uncomfortable to ride in, and my wife ended up feeling car sick. I don't think this was due to the driver's driving skills. The shifting seemed to be constantly in 2nd or 3rd gear, leading to a very tiring ride for both of us.

2. At each sightseeing spot, there was hardly any commentary or explanation from the driver.

3. It might be due to the 8-hour time constraint, but there was no information or recommendations for particularly hidden gem restaurants or attractions beyond what you would find in a typical guidebook.

ドライバーさんは地元の方でとても親切で、目的地などについてはこちらの要望に柔軟に答えて頂き助かりました。

しかしながら、以下の点についてはイメージや期待していた内容と違っていました。

①車はセダンではなくバンタイプの車両でした。別にバンタイプでも問題はないのですが、
もともとこのプランを選択した理由として、妻が車酔いしやすい方なので車のグレードを上げたつもりでした。しかし、当日の車両は調子が悪かったのか？？、非常に乗り心地が悪く車酔いしていましました。これはドライバーさんの運転技術では決してない思います。
シフトギヤーが、常に２ｎｄか３ｒｄで走行しているような加減速走行で、二人ともとても疲れてしまいました。

②各観光地では、ドライバーさんによる観光案内/説明などはほとんどありませんでした。

③8時間という制約などで仕方がないのかもしれませんが、特に穴場的なレストランや観光地など、一般的なガイドブック以外の情報やリコメンドなどはなかったです。

I used this service for sightseeing in Kyoto with a dear friend from abroad. They organized a plan that allowed us to efficiently visit various places even within our limited time, and we felt secure sightseeing even in the rain. I think it would have been difficult for us to manage on our own.

The driver was fluent in English and provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the tourist spots. My friend was very pleased as well. If there is another opportunity like this, I would definitely like to use this service again.

海外からの大切な友人との京都観光で利用しました。
限られた時間の中でも効率よく回れるようプランを組んでいただき、雨の中でも安心して観光できました。自分たちだけでは難しかったと思います。
ドライバーの方は英語堪能で豊富な知識で観光地の案内をして下さいました。友人にもとても喜んでもらえました。またこのような機会があれば利用させて頂きたいです。

I had some anxiety about traveling alone, but I was picked up as requested, and the arrangement was perfect. The driver's hospitality, sightseeing guidance, and appropriate distance were wonderful, making it a great memory. Thank you very much!

一人旅の不安もあり事前に相談させていただいたリクエスト通りの配車でお迎えにきていただきました。
ドライバーさんのホスピタリティ、観光案内、適度な距離感が素晴らしく、とてもいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

It was a tour to Taiko Rock, but due to the weather, the participants' physical condition, and scheduling, we walked to the Mossy Forest instead. We were given enough time to explore the surroundings, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.

Along the way, the guide shared various stories about the island's weather, tourist spots, Yakusugi (ancient cedar trees), and safe walking methods. I felt it was a good decision to join the tour instead of climbing on my own.

太鼓岩までのツアーでしたが、天候や参加者の体力やスケジュールの判断で、苔むす森まで歩きました。周辺を散策する時間を取っていただき、充分に楽しむことができました。
道中はガイドさんが、島の天候や観光スポット．屋久杉について．安全な歩き方など、様々な話をしてくれました。個人で登らずにツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

I booked a 5-hour course, but due to the timing of the low tide at Angel Road and the location of the hotel where we stayed, we ended up making unnecessary round trips and ultimately couldn't visit the Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village. However, I understand that some unnecessary movements were expected in advance, so I think it's unavoidable.

The driver wasn't very talkative, but he provided explanations at key points and patiently waited for our leisurely activities, for which I am grateful.

5時間コースを申し込んだのですが、エンジェルロードの干潮の時刻の関係と泊まるホテルの場所の関係で、無駄な往復をすることになり、結局二十四の瞳映画村へは行くことができませんでした。しかし、無駄な動きがあるのは事前に分かっていたことなので仕方がないと思っています。
運転手さんは喋る方ではありませんでしたが、要所要所、説明をしていただき、私たちの自由な行動をゆっくりと待っていただき感謝しています。

All in all, it was a great experience :) What I especially loved was that you were "accompanied" by several characters during the ride.

In addition, the taxi was extremely comfortable, the music was very entertaining, and even though I’ve been living in Tokyo for a few years now, I learned something new.

It was a 4-hour tour of Ishigaki Island. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the driver skillfully drew out our interests, making for a very enjoyable time. In particular, there was a wealth of knowledge and insight regarding plants and nature, and I learned a lot in a fun way. I also appreciate the polite and enthusiastic guidance.

石垣島4時間のツアーでした。天気がイマイチの中、ドライバーさんがこちらの興味をうまく引き出して頂いて大変楽しい時間になりました。とりわけ、植物、自然に関する知識、見識が豊富で楽しく学ぶことが多くありました。また丁寧、熱心なご案内にも感謝申し上げます。

Merci à Kochi pour nous avoir fait passer une excellente journée à Sasebo. Sympathique et professionnel il nous a donné beaucoup d'informations sur les sites visités.
Félicitations.
Tout a été parfait de l'accueil au retour.

A trip to Kyoto with cherry blossoms in full bloom. Despite the unfortunate rain, I made a selfish request to visit famous cherry blossom spots, and my wish was graciously fulfilled, allowing for a fun and wonderful sightseeing experience. The driver was knowledgeable about history, delicious local delicacies, and everything else, truly a premium guide. He took many photos for us as well. I really appreciated his attention to detail. Thanks to him, it became a memorable cherry blossom trip in Kyoto, even in the rain.

桜満開の京都旅。あいにくの雨だけど、せっかくだから桜の名所を巡りたいというわがままなお願いを気持ちよく受けてくださり、楽しい素晴らしい観光ができました。運転手さんは歴史も老舗の美味しい物も何もかも詳しくて、正にプレミアムガイドさんでした。写真もたくさん撮って下さいました。細かい事にもご配慮いただき、本当にありがとうございました。おかげさまで雨でも思い出に残る京都お花見の旅となりました。

Although the flight was delayed, they adapted flexibly to the timing, allowing us to smoothly reach our desired destination. Even in the rain, we were dropped off at the entrance and could easily get back on, which was convenient. During the journey, they shared various stories about Okinawa's history, which was enjoyable. I would like to use their services again.

飛行機が遅れましたが、臨機応変に時間対応して頂き、行きたいとこにスムーズに行けました。雨でも入口で降ろしてもらって、また乗れるので楽でした。移動中は沖縄の歴史などいろいろな話をしてくれて楽しかったです。
また利用したいです。

Despite the unfortunate rain forecast and my somewhat selfish request for cherry blossom spots that are not too crowded, they graciously accommodated me, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful sightseeing experience. The driver had a wealth of knowledge, from history to urban legends, and he researched any questions I had on his smartphone to provide answers. My family and I are grateful for the professional service! Thank you very much.

あいにくの雨予報＆なるべく混んでいない桜の名所、というわがままなお願いも気持ちよく受けてくださり、素晴らしい観光ができました。運転手さんは、歴史から都市伝説まで豊富な知識量、わからない所はスマホで調べて答えてくださいました。プロの仕事に家族一同感謝!!ありがとうございました。

My first trip to Okinawa. I was anxious about driving on unfamiliar roads, so I decided to try a charter taxi and made a reservation. It was a great decision. The driver's stories were enjoyable, and the eight hours flew by. They were very accommodating to my somewhat reckless plan, and we were able to visit Sueyoshi Shrine, which my daughter was thrilled about. The car's license plate was also easy to remember, which was a big plus. Among all the taxis parked, it was easy to spot. Searching for a taxi can be stressful. I'm planning to go back to Okinawa once Shuri Castle is completed. I hope to rely on your services again then!

初めての沖縄旅行。知らない道をレンタカーで行くのは不安・・。
貸切タクシーを利用してみようと予約。
大正解でした。運転手さんのお話も楽しく、あっという間の８時間。
無謀にたてた計画にも丁寧に対応くださり、行きたかった末吉宮に行けて
娘は大喜び。車のナンバーも覚えやすかったのもポイント高いです。
たくさん停まってるタクシーの中でも、すぐ分かる。探すのはストレスですから。
首里城が完成したらまた沖縄へ行こうと予定たててます。その時はまたよろしくお願いしますね
