All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

About half of the group was made up of foreign tourists, and the guide provided information in both Japanese and Chinese. The guide was really nice, which doubled the fun. On the last day in Hokkaido, we were able to see all the highlights, and it became a memorable experience.

半分くらいは外国人の観光の方で、ガイドさんは日本語と中国語両方で案内していました。
ガイドさんがとってもいい人で楽しさ倍増でした。
北海道最終日にぐるりと見所を一周できて思い出に残りました。

It was a lot of fun and became a great memory! The air was clean and refreshing. On the way there, the weather was clear and I enjoyed the scenery, but on the way back it rained, and feeling tired, I kept my head down and descended quietly. The temperature was just right. I was fortunate to have a great guide, making it a memorable trip.

とても楽しく良い思い出になりました！空気がキレイで気持ちよかったです。行きは晴れて景色も堪能できましたが、帰りは雨が降り、疲れもあったため下を向いて黙々と下りました。気温はちょうど良かったです。ガイドさんにも恵まれ思い出に残る旅になりました。

It was in the order of Ishigaki > Iriomote > Yufu > Taketomi!
On Iriomote, not only did we take a boat, but the bus driver also guided us during the ride, and we got to hear various stories.
In Taketomi, I chose to do a free walk, but my legs were completely exhausted, so I ended up renting a bicycle on-site.
I felt it might have been better to have that arranged from the start.

石垣〉西表〉由布〉竹富〉石垣の順でした！
西表では船はもちろん、バス移動の間も運転手さんがガイドしてくださり、色んなお話しが聞けました。
竹富ではフリーウォークを選択しましたが、足が疲れ切っていたので、結局現地でレンタサイクルを借りました。
最初からつけといてもいいかも？と感じました。

It was a short trip, but I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island from the morning, and return to Ishigaki Island before the evening, making good use of my time.

短い旅行でしたが朝から西表島・由布島・竹富島の見どころを効率的に回り、夕方前には石垣島に戻れるので時間を有効に使えました。

We participated as a couple on April 5th. We were informed in advance that most of the bus passengers were foreigners and that the guide's announcements would prioritize English, which made us feel a bit blue. However, the attentiveness of our guide, Maria, was wonderful, and she frequently checked in with us at the sightseeing spots, making it a memorable experience. We will use this service again if we have the opportunity. Thank you, Maria.

4月５日に夫婦で参加しました。バスの同乗者が、ほぼ外国人の方でガイド案内も英語優先になると事前に伝えられ、少々ブルーな気分になりました。しかしガイドのマリアさんの気配りが素晴らしく、観光地でも度々声掛けをしていただき楽しい思い出となりました。また機会があれば利用します。マリアさんありがとう。

I was able to spend a wonderful time following the schedule. I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

時間に沿ったスケジュールで素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
また機会がありましたら利用したいと思います。

The timing was accurate, but Akama Shrine was skipped.

It was good that I was told at the beginning, "I'm just a driver," so I didn't have any unnecessary expectations.
There were many places that couldn't be accessed by public transportation.
Thank you for your help.

時間に正確でしたが赤間神宮はスキップされました

ガイドさんではなく
「運ぶだけのドライバーです」
最初に言われて余計な期待をしなかったのも良かったのかもしれませんね
公共交通機関では行けないところばかり、
お世話になりました

I booked during the cherry blossom peak season, but unlike the photos, the cherry blossoms weren't close enough to see, and I didn't really need to ride the cold double-decker bus. I only saw one cherry blossom tree at the entrance of Ueno Park as I passed by, so I couldn't see anything inside. It felt like a trip just to visit tourist spots. It was inexpensive, and the guide was decent.

桜は満開シーズンで予約しましたが、写真とは違い桜が近くにあって見えるわけでもなく、寒い二階建てバスに乗る必要もないかなと。
上野公園は入り口の一本の桜を見たのみで横を通ったので中は全く見えず。
観光地を回る旅だったかな。
お安かったし、ガイドさんもそれなりかと。

I saw wonderful views! The historical explanations of each sight and the descriptions of what to see were rich and interesting. Discount information for products was also provided. It was very helpful.

素晴らしい景色を観ました！また各景色の歴史説明と見ることの説明が充実且つ面白い。商品の割引情報も提供されました。非常に助かった。

We were able to go to the desired route, but the guide mentioned that they would make a group reservation for us to enter Kinkaku-ji, and they asked for the children's ages. Even though I told them my child is a middle school student, they immediately asked my child, "How old are you?" to confirm. Since the answer was the same as mine, the guide chuckled a bit.

I felt very uncomfortable about that interaction, especially since I wasn't lying as a parent. Even after returning from the trip, I am still filled with unpleasant feelings about that response. I have never experienced such treatment with other tour companies.

希望のルートへは行けましたが、金閣寺へ入館する為ガイドさんが団体申し込みをしてくださるとの事で子供の年齢を聞かれ親が中学生ですと伝えて居るのにその側ですぐさま子供に年齢は幾つ？と言い確認しておりました。
親と同じ答えなのでガイドさんはクスッと笑っておりました。
親が嘘を言ってるわけでもなくお伝えしたのに、旅行から帰ってからもあの対応に不愉快な気持ちで一杯です。
他のツアー会社でもこの様な扱いはされた事がありませんでした。

The tour guide was lovely. She didn’t speak much English but she had a book of phrases she needed to tell us written out so we knew what was going on. The bus ride had an English audio guide which was generally interesting. The train was beautiful, and the scenery was amazing. The boat trip was unfortunately cancelled due to the heavy rain the day before, so we had a long coach journey instead. The bamboo forest was incredible but very busy so if you want quiet maybe go by yourself instead of on a tour. we had three hours at Arashyama which was actually perfect, if we’d had a boat trip too it would have only been an hour which would have been too short!

It was a tour for overseas travelers, but the tour guide was kind and explained everything in Japanese individually, so I was able to enjoy sightseeing without any worries.

海外向けツアーでしたが、添乗員さんが親切で個別に日本語で説明してくれたので、何も不安にならず楽しく観光出来ました。

It was a packed and fulfilling tour. The sightseeing boat and the water buffalo cart were experiences I wouldn't normally have, so it became a wonderful memory!

The weather was cloudy, but for this tour, cloudy weather is actually better. If it were sunny, it would be hot and tiring.

盛りだくさんで、1日が充実したツアーでした。 遊覧船も、水牛車も、普段は経験出来ないので、すごくいい思い出になりました!

天気は曇りでしたが、このツアーに参加するなら、曇がいいですね。 晴れだと暑くて疲れちゃいます。

It was a tour that was quite enjoyable, with the guide's words being educational and keeping us engaged. It was a shame that the Churaumi Aquarium was crowded and we couldn't see much, but we had fun playing in the ocean. However, it was a rather busy tour (￣∀￣), but it was good because we got to go to various places.

退屈せず、ガイドさんの言葉は勉強になり、かなり楽しめたツアーでした。
美ら海水族館が混雑してて、あまり見れないのが残念でしたが、海で遊んだり楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり忙しいツアー内容ですが(￣∀￣)色々行けたから良いです。

The tour guide was approachable, very kind, and it was great. There are set meeting times at each sightseeing location, but they pass relatively quickly, so I think it's best to confirm any places you definitely want to visit in advance (including regular shops and many stalls, which can be confusing!).

添乗員の方が接しやすく、とても親切で良かったです。各観光場所で集合時間が決まっているのですが、わりとすぐに経つので必ず行きたい場所などは事前に確認しておいた方がいいと思います（普通のお店を含め屋台なども沢山あるので迷ってしまいます！）

A trip with my elderly mother. We usually enjoy freedom and spontaneity, so initially, we thought about taking a highway bus from Kanazawa Station to Shirakawa-go on our own. However, we decided to join this tour because it allows us to visit both Shirakawa-go and Gokayama in one day. It was the right choice. Having the tour guide manage the time made it easy for us, and during the ride to our destination, we learned about the route we were taking, local specialties, recommended spots in Shirakawa-go, and interesting facts about the history of Gokayama. This increased our satisfaction with the tour and sparked further interest. My mother was also happy to be able to enjoy the trip without any strain. Thank you for your assistance.

高齢の母との二人旅。いつもは自由、気ままが好きなので、当初は自分達で金沢駅から高速バスに乗って白川郷へ行こうかと思っていたのですが、こちらのツアーでは白川郷と五箇山両方を日帰りで回れるということで、申し込みました。選んで正解でした。添乗員さんに時間管理をして頂くので楽であったことは勿論、目的地までの車中にて　どんな経路で向かっているのか、名産品や白川郷おすすめスポットの紹介、五箇山という土地の今昔に関する豆知識なども教えて頂き、ツアー後の満足度も上がりましたし、更なる興味も湧きました。母も無理なく回れて喜んでいました。お世話になりありがとうございました。

This was my first time sightseeing in Kyoto with my wife, and it was a one-day bus tour for us after 40 years. We arrived at the meeting place an hour early and waited for the guide to check in. Even 15 minutes before the start, no one had arrived at the designated meeting point on the map (Hachijo-guchi Bus Terminal).

In a hurry, I called the emergency contact, and they asked if there was anyone in a yellow happi nearby. Looking around, I spotted three people in yellow happi about 30 meters away, so I went over. A large number of participants had already gathered there. However, there was no sign for "Veltra," and the staff with "LIMON" written on their backs were checking in. You might think, "It’s just 30 meters away, how could you not find it?" but when you're in an unfamiliar place, it's hard to spot something even if you're close to the indicated location on the map. I might be being a bit unreasonable, but the tour schedule ended up being significantly delayed by over an hour, causing us to miss our dinner reservation, and we had to leave the tour during the last sightseeing stop in Arashiyama, unable to participate in the bus ride back to Kyoto Station.

I walked over a kilometer from JR Saga-Arashiyama back to JR Kyoto Station on my own. I even paid for train fare that wouldn’t have been necessary if I had returned with the tour. Other participants on different days have also commented that they wished they had been informed of the final disbanding time during the tour.

Above all, if you are conducting sightseeing tours every day, you should plan the sightseeing schedule with more flexibility! Since "Veltra" is used by many people around the world, I let my guard down and failed to manage the risk of lost time. Unfortunately, my initial impression of the tour's potential was confirmed by the error at the meeting point.

I don't think I will be able to participate again, but I hope our disappointment leads to improvements for future participants, allowing everyone to enjoy a better sightseeing experience in Kyoto!

今回は初めて京都観光をする妻と私は40年ぶりの京都1日バスツアーでした。
最初に集合場所に1時間前に到着しガイドの点呼を待っていました。15分前になっても誰も地図の集合場所（八条口バス乗降場）には来ませんでした。
あわてて緊急連絡に電話すると近くに黄色いハッピの者はいませんか？と言われて見渡すと約30ｍ離れたあたりに黄色のハッピの方が３名見えたので行って見ました。既に大勢の参加者が集まっていました。しかしそこには「ベルトラ」の表示はなく「ＬＩＭＯＮ」と黄色のハッピの背中に書かれたスタッフが点呼していました。結果で見ると「たかが30ｍぐらいの離れた場所ぐらいわかるだろう」とおっしゃるでしょうが、初めて訪れる土地で、自分は案内地図の示された場所にピンポイントにいれば少し離れてもなかなか見つけられないものです。甘えているかもしれませんがツアーのスケジュールも最終的には大幅に1時間以上遅れ夜の食事処の予約に間に合わなくなり最後の嵐山観光の途中でツアーを離れてツアーバスでの京都駅解散まで参加できませんでした。
1㎞以上歩いてＪＲ嵯峨嵐山からＪＲ京都駅に自分で戻りました。
ツアーで戻れば必要ない電車賃も払いました。
このツアーの別日の参加者の方もコメントされていましたが、ツアーの途中案内で最終解散時間を連絡してほしかったです。
なにより毎日観光ツアーしているのなら観光時間スケジュールをもっとゆとりをもって組むべきでしょう！
世界中のたくさんの方が利用しているＶＥＬＴＲＡ”なので、私もつい安心してロスタイムの危機管理ができていませんでした。
ツアーの始まり（集合場所）の誤差からツアーのポテンシャルが低そうな予感が当たってしまい残念でした。
この先、何度も参加はできないと思いますが「私共の残念」がこれからのツアー参加者様達に改善されて皆様がより良い京都観光ができますように！

It's a great tour that highlights the efforts of many different professions involved in flying airplanes, even though the focus is on pilots and cabin crew. I would recommend it for children and those about to enter the workforce.

However, I made a big mistake by arriving much earlier than the meeting time. You can't enter the building before the start time, and there are no benches to sit on. There are no shops or anything to pass the time in the surrounding area. I recommend adjusting your time around the nearest station. Even if you arrive right on time, there's plenty of time to spare before the tour starts. I hope this is especially helpful for those going with small children.

パイロットやCAさんに注目が集まる会社ですが、飛行機を飛ばすために沢山の職種の方が努力されている事が解るとても良いツアーですね。
子供さんや就職前の人にはおすすめ出来ます。
さて、私は集合時間よりかなり早く着いてしまったのですが、大失敗でした。
開始時刻前には建物内に入れませんし座るベンチ等も有りません。周辺にはお店等、時間を潰すものは何も有りません。最寄駅周辺で時間調整される事をオススメします。
集合時間ピッタリに入ってもツアー開始まで余すくらい時間の余裕があります。小さなお子さんと行かれる方には特に参考になれば幸いです。

I had previously visited a maintenance facility and thought this would be a similar tour, but it was completely different. It was a serious training facility where you could feel the effort put into flying safely. My son's dream of becoming a pilot has also grown even more. Thank you for this fulfilling opportunity that felt much longer than just 75 minutes.

以前整備工場の見学をしたことがあり、同じようなツアーだと思っていましたが、全く違いました。安全に飛ぶためにあらゆる努力をしているんだろうな、と感じられる本気のトレーニング施設でした。グラハンになりたい息子の夢もますます膨らみました。たった75分とは思えない充実した機会をありがとうございました。

We leisurely explored the village of Taketomi Island while listening to the guide's singing and shamisen. The explanations were interesting, and everyone who participated was smiling. It was a valuable experience as I had never seen a water buffalo up close before. I was truly happy to spend time surrounded by beautiful flowers, the unique architecture of the tropics, and shisa. I definitely want to visit Taketomi Island again to be rejuvenated.

ガイドさんの歌と三味線を聴きながら竹富島の集落をのんびり見学しました。説明は面白く、参加した皆さん笑顔でした。間近で水牛を見た事が無かったので貴重な体験でした。とてもきれいな花や、南国独特の家構え、シーサーなど見るもの全てに癒されて本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ぜひ、また竹富島に癒されに行きたいと思います。

We were blessed with good weather, and our guide was a veteran with a wonderful voice who shared many interesting stories, allowing us to have an efficient and fulfilling sightseeing experience. I unfortunately forgot their name, but I am truly grateful.

Among the many tours departing from Naha, it was great that there were several pickup locations. However, in the morning, I had to take a taxi from my accommodation to the nearest hotel for just under 3,000 yen, which was unfortunate. On the way back, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the guide and the driver, they asked for our accommodation and dropped us off nearby, which was a great help since I was traveling with my elderly mother.

I highly recommend this tour for those who do not have a rental car. Thank you very much.

お天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんもベテランで、よくとおるいいお声でいろいろと面白いお話をたくさんしてくださり、効率よく充実した観光をすることができて本当に良かったです。お名前をうっかり忘れてしまいましたが、本当に感謝しております。
那覇発着のツアーが多い中、ピックアップ場所がたくさんあったのもよかったです。（とはいえ、朝は宿泊先から３０００円弱かけて、最寄のホテルまでタクシーで行かねばならず、それはざんねんでしたが。。。）帰りは、ガイドさんとドライバーさんのお気遣いで、宿泊先をきいてくださり、その近くでおろしていただけ、高齢の母と参加していたため本当に助かりました。
レンタカーをしていないかたには、本当におすすめのツアーです。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to efficiently visit various tourist spots just by taking the bus. There were many international visitors, and I had a great time. The weather was also perfect, making it the best day. The guide's explanations were good as well.

バスに乗るだけで色々な観光地を効率よく行く事ができました。海外の方も多く、楽しめました。天気にも恵まれ、最高の1日でした。ガイドの方の説明も良かったです。

I was worried about the rain, but there was no rain and it was cloudy, so it might have been just right. It was my first experience with water buffalo, and their cries were cute.

雨が心配でしたが
雨もなく、曇りだったので
ちょうど良かったかもしれません。
水牛も初めての体験だったのと
鳴き声も
かわいいかったです。

This time, I participated alone. The guide took many photos for me, which became a great memory. The guide was friendly and kind.

今回、一人で参加しました。
写真撮影をガイドさんに、何枚も撮ってもらい良い記念になりました。
感じ良く親切なガイドさんでした。

This was a recommended tour for my first trip to the Yaeyama Islands. I was glad to be able to visit three islands in one day.

The ferry to the remote islands is worth the extra 500 yen for the premium seat, and I highly recommend it.

I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, and that was a great choice as well.

初めての八重山諸島の旅にはおすすめなツアーでした。
一日で3島を巡る事ができてよかったです。

離島への船は、プレミアムシートをプラス500円払ってでも価値がありおすすめです。

竹富島ではレンタルサイクルをしましたが、それも正解でした。

Two-thirds of the participants were from overseas. Everyone gathered on time, and I felt they were participating in line with Japanese customs. It was great to visit popular spots like a school trip. I admired the tour guide's English skills. It was fun and also a good opportunity to study English!

3分の2が海外からの方でした。時間も守って集合して、日本事情に合わせて参加していると思いました。修学旅行のように人気スポットをまわれてよかったです。添乗員さんの英語力を尊敬しました。英語の勉強にもなって楽しかった！

The cherry blossoms were only partially in bloom, which was disappointing, but the weather was great with blue skies and warmth. Riding the double-decker bus for the first time with my three close friends was exciting! The guide's stories were educational and humorous, making it a fantastic experience. I've been to many famous cherry blossom spots before, but the view from the bus was refreshing. We all decided to go again next year! Thank you for a wonderful trip.

桜は１、2部咲きで期待外れでしたが、天候に恵まれ青空、暖かくて、初めての２階建バスは親友4人でワクワク❗️ガイドさんのお話は勉強になったり、ユーモアもあり楽しくて最高でした。行った事のある桜名所の数々ですが、バスからの眺めは新鮮でした。
また来年も行こう‼️と皆んなで決めました。楽しい旅をありがとうございました。

The cherry blossoms were unexpectedly late, and even though it was a double-decker bus for the opening, I couldn't fully enjoy the experience! It was disappointing. There's nothing that could be done about that. Instead, the guide did their best to share stories with us. I felt that booking seasonal events can be quite tricky.

予想外に桜が遅れ、せっかくのオープン二階建てバスだったのに、醍醐味味わえず❗残念でした。こればかりは、どうしようもない事でした。代わりにとガイドさんが一生懸命話をして下さいましたが。
季節のイベントは予約時期が難しいと、感じました。

The ferry was canceled, and I had to change my plans at the last minute. Thank you for your assistance.

I was worried about whether I could walk the distance since I usually don't exercise, but thanks to the experienced guide, I was able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. The emotion and sense of accomplishment I felt when looking up at Jomon Sugi was an incredible experience!

I lacked stamina and was hesitant to participate, but I'm really glad I did!

The day before, I went to Shiratani Unsuikyo without a guide, but even if I go again in a few years, I would definitely want to join a tour because having a guide made a significant difference.

With a guide, the pacing is different, making it less tiring, and they adjusted breaks based on the weather. I learned about the mysterious workings of the forest that I wouldn't have noticed on my own. Interacting with others was also a great memory.

Additionally, since I couldn't rent a car, the bus transportation and lunch arrangements were very much appreciated.

If I have friends aiming for Jomon Sugi, I would recommend the tour. (I'm not affiliated with them, just saying!)

フェリーが欠航になり、急遽1日変更して頂きました。ご対応頂きありがとうございました。

普段何も運動していない私は、歩ききれるのか心配していましたが、ベテランガイドさんのおかげで無事に縄文杉まで行くことができました。縄文杉を見上げた時の感動と達成感はとても素晴らしい経験です！

体力もなく、参加すら迷っていたのですが、本当に参加して良かったです！

前日にガイドさんなしで白谷雲水峡に行きましたが、また何年後かに行くとしてもやはりツアーで参加したいと思うほどガイドさんのあるなしは違いました。

ガイドさんがいらっしゃるとペース配分が違うので疲れにくいし、天気を見て休憩を早めたりしてくださったり、自分では気付けない森の神秘的な仕組みを知ることができました。
他の方との交流も良い思い出です。

また、レンタカーが借りられなかったので、バスでの送迎やお弁当の手配もとてもありがたかったです。

もし個人で縄文杉を目指す友達がいたら、私はツアーをオススメします。(回し者ではないです笑)

It was a windy day, but I was able to ride with the elderly sea grandfather. I also spent time with Ichiro and Rui. I felt that each of them had their own personality and acted differently. It was a very good experience.

風の強い日でしたが、お年寄りの海おじいさんに乗せてもらいました。その他に一郎君やルイ君など。それぞれに個性があり、行動も異なることを感じました。とても良い体験をしました。
