Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Amazing Ride for a First Timer!

Indeed, the experience was great for a person new to the city! The view from the top of the bus is incomparable to that from inside a taxi or car. But, since it's open, the cold wind somewhat gave us chills, perhaps it's nice if they could provide blankets or whatever :) English audio guide is ok, I guess... not really into the history and stories of each place, just took pictures of everything! Instagram worthy! :)

10/10 Would Recommend (y)

Reviewed by: Geinah

It was the first ever tour I went on... ever! It's a great way to see the city especially for me, a first time traveler. We took the Odaiba Course and we passed through the Rainbow Bridge.

We also took photos of the Tokyo Tower while it was illuminated by 276 (as per the audio guide! Ha!). We were very fortunate that the stop light turned red at a good spot and for an enough amount of time to take nice IG photos from the open-top bus.

The Audio Guide was very helpful and the perky guide was very nice! I would totally recommend taking this tour. I will definitely do it again when I get the chance!

Awesome Night!

Reviewed by: Anna

The tour is perfect for first-time Tokyo visitors. The bus took us around the must-see sights such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo's version of the Statue of Liberty and the Kabuki-za Theater (I can't remember the rest!). There was an audio guide that translated the commentaries, which was helpful, but after a while I took it off and just kind of figured it out. We went for the night tour in May and it was still pretty chilly, so be sure to bring a jacket!

Good price/quality, although the audio can be a bit funny at times (some of the descriptions had us in fits, because they were unintentionally hilarious). Tokyo Tower's lights came on right as we passed by, which was really pretty

Brisk tour of Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Jas

It was nice seeing some of the highlights of Tokyo in a quick time. The audio guide had pretty strange facts that I didn't know about Tokyo too. But after a while, I just decided to ignore the audio and just enjoy the view.
Even in May after the sun went down it was rather cold!

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Cali

The tour was really nice and I got to see a lot of Tokyo that I might not have gone to otherwise. I was able to do all three route in one day, but that was with only getting off at two stops for an hour each. So you might only be able to do two of the routes if you want to get off at more places. I did notice a slight problem with the recorded tour cutting off and skipping to the next section if we were going to fast, but it didn't happen too often. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick overview of the area to see where it is you want to explore more later.

Tokyo to/from Yokohama Port Shuttle for Diamond Princess Cruise

Well organised - fair price - but a little cramped

Reviewed by: Rhod Tibbles

This company is obviously very popular for Yokohama transfers to Tokyo., There were may passengers waiting to get the transfer and this was well organised with a lot of staff coordinating booking details and the taxi. The tranfser was very efficient - my only complaint was that our taxi had to many passengers and luggage so a lot of luggage was inside the taxi whichy have little stretch room for what is effectively a long 1.5-2.0 hour journey. I did a lot of research and this company seem to be the best value for this type of transfer ....... Would use again if I came back.....

Dear Rhod Tibbles,

We are highly appreciated with you & your feedback.
Which is gives us more encouragement to improve our service more punctual, reliable and convenient.

Regarding to your luggage problem, in shared shuttle as first customer put luggage number only two per person, but actually bring hand carry also.
Although we decide the car type by the number of people and luggage, actually they bring lot. That makes it trouble those riding the same car.
Sorry about that.

Please contact or email us whenever if you have any inquiries for any place in Japan.

We are waiting for your next booking.

Jyoti

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Not as good as I'd hoped

Reviewed by: dbuley

All 3 trips are worthwhile and there's adequate English translation. However I found the time between pickups too long. It meant that if you got off at a couple of things you struggled to complete the loop. They need a few more buses to make the average waiting time 30 minutes, not 60 or 90 minutes.

【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Reliable wifi router for my trip

Reviewed by: Chris

Veltra got the wifi unit delivered to my Tokyo hotel so I was able to start using it right after I checked in. I had brought my own spare battery to ensure that the charge would last through the day and the unit did everything I needed it to during my 3 weeks of travel. I would recommend this for both convenience and price. I returned the unit at the airport at their counter, but they also had an option wherebi could have dropped it in the mail in Japan before taking off. I opted to keep it until the airport so that I could still use it at Narita.

【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Outstanding in every way!

Reviewed by: TokyoWedding2017

We rented a portable router for 2 weeks and couldn't believe how excellent the overall experience was. Easy to book and pay in advance, delivery to our hotel as promised, incredible strong router signal wherever we went, including subways, trains, elevators, etc. Our group had 10 devices on at one point and we couldn't believe how well it worked. Used skype instead of cell phones and left our cells on airplane mode throughout the trip. We dropped it off at Narita airport without a hitch when we flew home to Canada. Saw a lot of complaints in other reviews about problems with how long the battery lasted, but we didn't have any problems and only had to recharge it once during the day with our back up portable battery charger, after a very long day. Will definitely use this service wherever we can in the future! Wish they had it in Canada!!

Easy Peasy!

Reviewed by: Barbara Helen

It was a smooth transfer from ship to shuttle. Our names displayed to pick us up and some delay waiting for other passengers to arrive but then seven of us in a people mover with drop off at our hotel. We were a little worried that we were 15 minutes later than the 8am time given but we were assured that this is normal and they would wait until all passengers arrived around that time. We're glad to have used the service. We were surprised how quickly it was booked out after we made the arrangement so book early if you can.

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour with Narita Airport Transfer

First time in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Liza Maria

We just arrived from a fun filled experience tour in Tokyo. Our pickup transfer driver/guide arrived on time but unfortunately we got lost in locating the exact meeting area because of the wrong map that was given by the agency. Through the help of a Filipina working at Narita airport we were able to contact our guide. Inspite of the rain, our guide Taji still managed to bring us to Meguro River with full bloom cherry blossom trees and to the (secret) as described by our guide long stretch of cherry blossom trèes not popular to tourists.He also recommended an authentic and tasty ramen for our group to try. Thank you Taji for the wonderful experience!

Seriously I will admit I had problems at first as I am NOT technically inclined and the directions were a bit convoluted. Granted, I was traveling all day and super exhausted. A bonus they delivered the SIM card to my hotel so it was waiting for me when I arrived, and I installed it over dinner. It took me about 20
Min but most people it should take 5-10. Once I figured it out it worked like I dream and I was taking selfies and using Google

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Good value for money as one can visit Tokyo in a day

Reviewed by: Lydia Teo

After reading many reviews some positive and negative, we decided to try this Hop on Hop off bus ride. We (group of 10) started late due to our distance from Tokyo Station. As we got off the station we asked around to finally get to Mitsubishi building which one cannot miss its signage. It was freezing cold that day on 25th and we did our first ride through the first to last stop on the blue line. It was interesting as we listened to the introductions of the places we passed by through the ear recorder in the language we preferred. Personally, I felt I gained more knowledge as the voice introduced the places we passed through in the comfort of the open decker bus. We then took the purple line to Ginza /Tsukiji. By the time we reached Tsukiji, some shops started closing at 1.30pm. It is best to go early in the morning . We were left with not much time to visit Asakuse instead we took the last bus to go round to view the Tokyo Rainbow bridge in the night. It was a different sight when viewed in the night with all the llightings. I am very sure when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom next week, it is a good idea to take this hop-on hop-off bus as we passed the cherry trees which was budding then.

We are going to recommend our friends who will be visiting Tokyo to try out this bus as it is money well spent to enjoy the whole of Tokyo in a day.

Full-Day Private Tokyo Tour for Large Groups from Yokohama Port

A worthwhile trip

Reviewed by: Lydia Teo

Our group of 10 booked a private tour to the places we wanted to visit. It was rainy on 26th and the weather was freezing cold. Our driver from Veltra came on the dot outside our hotel. No time wasted and our friendly driver, Yakamura-san helped us with our luggage and we set off. Yakamura-san was very attentive and he brought us round our first destination, Soka University with great patience. Since it was rainy and the cherry blossoms were still budding, we couldnt walk in the park with the freezing weather, he went round Hachioji in search of delicious ramen and after a few rounds, he found one where it was good and cheap. We suggested Fuji Art Museum and he called up to be told it was closed on that day. Our last place was Edo Tokyo museum. We were too cold to enjoy and finally we set off for Haneda airport.

We were very pleased with the service, the van which was very spacious for the 10 of us. Most of all, Mr. Yakamura was very accommodating and patience as he helped us with our luggage in the rain. We shall recommend your service again to our friends and we shall book again with your company for our next trip to Japan.

Airport Transfers between Narita Airport and Central Tokyo < Shared Ride >

Couldn't have been better

Reviewed by: ERT-Washington, DC

The driver arrived early, was extremely courteous, and knew some English. The vehicle was very nice and tidy. Ride to airport was pleasantly uneventful. Bear in mind, these are shared rides. We traveled quite a way across the city to reach the other passenger who was going out to the airport, but arrived at Narita in plenty of time to catch our intercontinental flight. Since one normally walks and rides the Metro in Tokyo, it can be interesting to see some of the city by car. I would recommend the service highly.
