The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! We also really enjoyed spending the day in Yoshino! It was only 90 minutes on the train from Osaka, definitely worth a day trip!
As I live in HK, would like to make the payment in HKD rather than USD.
I was able to participate more casually than I expected, and the inclusion of one drink made it a great value! The behind-the-scenes tour was also a very valuable experience, allowing me to catch a glimpse of 650 years of history and tradition. The plans for future events are filled with various creative ideas, and I definitely want to participate again.
思っていた以上にフランクに参加できて、ワンドリンク付き
というのもとてもコスパが高かったです！
舞台裏ツアーもとても貴重な体験で、650年の歴史、伝統を
垣間見ることが出来ました。
今後のイベントの予定も色々な工夫が凝らされていて、
また、是非参加したいと思います。

It provides wide range area travel among Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, as well as Mie and Nara. If not a rush tour, it is a cost-effective ticket. For the limited express train users, extra cost for the limited express ticket make it less attractive, but still an alternative choice.
The cafe was a little hard to find (it was raining the day we went) but, once there it was amazing!!!!! The owls are so CUTE and very chill. (I think they are used to people by now). Chai was my fav only because he was the chillest and, during the petting demonstration/owl introduction, he looked the happiest to be getting pets. Would definitely do again.
Thank you for visiting.
There are three owl cafes in Harajuku, and the closest thing to the station is "Owlvillage Harajuku".
The chai is the youngest in the shop and it is very sweet.
Please come and see us if you want to see everyone again.
We look forward to your visit.
The reservation charge for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya was higher than the pass price.
Great organization and coordination! Will definitely use Veltra again.
The day was cold but we made the most out of it, hopping off almost every stop. Every bus had blankets, which helped a lot!
The red line has many more stops so we spent most of our time on it. The skytree and ice skating below it was great and our 3 year old daughter enjoyed! The kimonos and "backstreet" shopping near the Ueno stop were great to see and experience. The timing of the audio playing was not always accurate, but acceptable.
The blue line has few stops, but still offers plenty, including the interesting stores around Tokyo Tower.
While the Tokyo hop on hop off bus does not have as many stops as other cities, my wife and I felt it was a great way to get a "taste" of many Tokyo attractions!
I've used hop on and hop off bus in many cities, so I chose Sky bus.
As it was so complicated to use public transportation in Tokyo, It was good way to travel major places without transfer.
But I could only sit upstairs without roof, it was so cold, especially during running highway to Ginza.
I think it would be better if the bus runs more hot spots like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi and so on.
It was our first time in Tokyo and I want it to be stress free so we decided to get a hop on hop off bus. The experience was wonderful. We had the top view of the Tokyo with the cold weather. It was awesome. Not to mention it was very easy to book thru VELTRA. We booked the day before only but they still had available seats. Awesome!
The location was easy to find within Sapporo Station.
It was warm indoors, and there were places to sit, which was nice.
I went around 6 PM and left around 8:30 PM, but it was so crowded near 8 PM that there were no seats available.
場所も札幌駅内で分かりやすかったです。
室内なので暖かく、座る場所もあるのでよかったです。
18時ごろ行って20時半頃出ましたが、20時近くは座る場所もない程混雑していました。

The buses were very comfortable and blankets were provide on top of heating which made it both comfortable and enjoyable on the whole. The routes covered all the key parts of Tokyo which I wanted to visit. The commentary could be further improved. On the whole I enjoyed the trip!
We were glad to learn our bus was a fully roofed bus in the red route. In January Tokyo can be cold and being open air is a hard pill to swallow.
The blue route was open roof, but they provided blankets so it wasn't as bad as expected.
The routes were just ok. The red one is good, but the explanation on the audioguide was limited. Too much music and too little insight information. However the blue line had no information at all and the route was a waste. It's short (53 minutes) and only two stops before going back home, missing all the important points of the city.
It's kind of expensive for what they give you, compared to other cities in the world.
We decided to take a ride on the Sky Bus as a way of seeing the connectivity of the city, which sometimes can be difficult to establish when you travel underground the whole time. We were a group of four, 2 adults and 2 kids and enjoyed every last minute of our ride! The English guide was great and the hand warmers and blankets worked a treat to keep everyone toasty and warm.
We had a great time on the Hop-on Hop-off bus around Tokyo. We were able to see the sights and stop at the areas of interest to us. When the temperatures dropped, the staff politely offered blankets to help us keep warm. We took the blue line and most of the red line in one day, and wished we had more time for a multi day pass. Everyone we interacted with was polite and helpful.
Beauty of urban planning at its best, Tokyo's megalopolis is a well planned development for the world to emulate. Integrated transport system that is accessible to everybody creates an environment that encourages its people to walk creating a healthy populace.
Online booking was easy and easy to understand . Very easy to find the place to get the ticket. Skyhop has everything provided for. from the blankets with this cold winter days. Heat pads and the earphones. They have though of everything. It be nice with the translation they should add also Spanish, Italian and some other European languages.
My family and I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the scenery. Couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for an enjoyable and wonderful trip.
The online registration and check in process was very smooth. We took the tour on a cold December day and they have provided covered bus option for certain times, which was great. For the double decker they have also provided hand warmers and blankets which were much appreciated. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only improvement I would recommend would be to provide more historic information on the tour. Try this tour if you have limited time in Tokyo!
I did the same tour by myself last year and enjoyed it a lot! So this year I took my parents and they were overwhelmed with the city! So this tour just gives you a great overview and is quite informative too! Recommend (again) :)

You can see the JR Tower from the outside, so I wandered around the first floor below it. When I reached the 38th floor, there were signs indicating directions in each corridor to the east, west, south, and north, allowing for a full loop. The lighting was dimmed, creating a calm atmosphere where I could enjoy drinks while taking in the night view.
外からはJRタワーは見えるので、その下の１階フロアをうろうろしましたが、、、。38階に着くと、東西南北の各回廊には方向が示してあり、一周できます。照明を落とした落ち着いた雰囲気で、夜景を見ながら、ドリンクを楽しめました。

Good value if you travel to Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto.
Great event, excellent experience (wish some of organizers spoke at least some English - but we came to enjoy their culture so have to expect... and have some patience - but after we settled everything was outstanding).
Tickets were waiting for us so we could skip the line. The event it self was totally worth it. We got decent seats, not the best...we booked 2 weeks in advance so I'd recommend booking earlier if you want the good seats.
Tea ceremony was worth it, it's a bit rushed and can't see much if you're not in the first 2 rows, so try to wait by the entrance to be the first ones in. You get a small amount of good matcha, a little sweet thing and you get to keep the saucer the it's served on.
We didn't pay any extra free for booking via Veltra so props to Veltra for this!
10/10 would book through Veltra again.
Beautiful! Very hepful English speaking staff. The music was also lovely.
I reserved my place weeks ago before the dance and when i came the womens from the office where not nice at all.
I went into the theather and i had to seat on A PLASTIC CHAIR. Really ?
I paid 4000 yens and everybody has a confortable seat and me not.
This is not possible. Yes it s touristic but please...
After that the dance was nice , i mean special. I recommaned because we can t see this everdays. The old womens who sang and played instruments for the geisha and meiko were really goods.
Thank , olivier Shaw.
This was an amazing experience even without understanding Japanese. The Geiko and Meiko performed dance/acting performance to a set theme and live music is also played. Some of the stage backdrops were very beautiful as well. At the end they threw signed a fabric with all the names of the performers out and we were lucky enough to catch one. I highly recommend going to a performance like this at least once!
Amazing. When I arrived I was directed to the counter where the reserved tickets were, I then went to watch the tea ceremony, which was amazing. Then we were led to the theatre, I was given a seat in the front row - the odori was amazing - great dancing, beautiful costumes, music and singing was amazing. If you are in Kyoto in early November please go to this.
Tout était parfait, l'accueil, le spectacle incroyable ! C'est l'un des meilleurs moments que nous ayons passés à Kyoto. Merci.
Je recommande à 200 % !
What a fabulous show, highly recommend seeing these amazing talented women. A cultural show not to be missed. Colourful, mesmerising and wonderful experience. You wanted to get up on stage and learn the dances.
