All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

On the day of the event, at the meeting place, suddenly hearing "Everyone participating in the LIMON tour!" was confusing. From the perspective of customers only seeing Veltra, it felt out of place. During the pandemic, the bus before departure wasn't running, so the air conditioning wasn't on, and the windows were closed. The bus started moving without any announcements, and the seating arrangement was cramped. This is not good.

参加当日の事、
集合場所でいきなりLIMONツアー御参加の皆さん！って何？veltraしか見えてない顧客側からしたら違和感しかない。コロナ禍の中、出発前のバスの中はエンジンをかけてなく、当然エアコンも動いていない、窓も開けてない。バスも何のアナウンスもなく走り出すし、座席配置は蜜状態。これまずいよ。

I joined the tour with high expectations, and it turned out to be even more enjoyable than I anticipated. The food was delicious, and above all, the tour guide was very entertaining and lively, making it a wonderful memory.

Thank you very much!

期待に胸を膨らませ過ぎた状態で参加したツアーでしたが、期待以上に楽しく、ご飯も美味しく、何より添乗員さんがとても楽しく盛り上げてくださったので、とても良いお思いでになりました♪

本当にありがとうございました☆

The young female guide was incredibly attentive.

The timing was excellent, allowing us to take the best photos when there were fewer people around.

It was truly a wonderful experience.

若い女性のガイドさんで心配りが最高でした。

時間の配分が素晴らしく人の少ない時にベストな写真を撮ることができました。

本当に素晴らしい体験ができました。

I went to the reception at the remote island terminal around 7:40 and received the tour explanation and tickets. The boat for traveling to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island had a capacity of about 200 people. During the Nakama River cruise, I was able to see herons. On Taketomi Island, I was also able to visit the main attractions by bicycle.

7:40くらいに離島ターミナルの受付に行って、ツアーの説明とチケットを受け取りました。西表島、竹富島の移動は、定員200人くらいの船でした。仲間川のクルーズでは、へらさぎを見ることができました。竹富島でも、自転車で主な名所に行くことができました。

I participated alone. After staying overnight from Tokyo and completing the check-in, I felt unpleasant when I was the only one who had to transfer on the day of the event.

Furthermore, since I was the only one transferring, I thought I shouldn't have participated after staying overnight, especially sitting in the very back seat.

It's not the fault of the guide or the driver, so I tried to pull myself together and enjoy the experience, but having traveled extensively both domestically and internationally, this was the first time I received such treatment.

The content and the guide and driver were good, but it's disappointing.

一人で参加させて頂きました。東京から前泊して受付を
済ませたら、当日私だけ乗り換えになり嫌な気分になりました。

更に、乗り換えるのは私一人だけなのに一番後ろの座席で前泊してまで参加しなければ良かったと思いました。

ガイトさんや運転手さんが悪いわけではありませんので
楽しく過ごすよう気を取り直しましたが、国内外多く旅してきましたが初めてこんな扱いを受けました。

内容やガイトさん運転手さは良かったですが、
残念です。

I participated with my mother. We were picked up at the hotel and dropped off at Ishigaki Airport on the way back. The timing was perfect for our return flight, which was ideal for us since we didn't have a rental car. We also had a guide with us.

母と参加しました。ホテルでピックアップしていただき、帰り石垣空港で降ろしていただきました。帰りの飛行機にもピッタリの時間で、レンタカーが無い私たちにはピッタリです。ガイドさんもついてます。

In Shirakawa-go, I had enough time to stroll leisurely, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The lunch was delicious, making it a satisfying tour!

白川郷では、ゆとりをもって散策する時間があったため、思う存分満喫できました！お昼ご飯も美味しく、満足するツアーでした！

It was the best tour. There was plenty of time to explore Shirakawa-go and Takayama, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The information provided by our tour guide, Mr. Kuroda, was accurate and impressive. The travel time was around an hour, and I never got bored.

最高のツアーでした。白川郷も高山も充分な散策時間があり、堪能出来ました。ツアーガイドの黒田さんの情報も的確で流石です。移動時間も1時間前後で飽きる事なく過ごせました。

A foreign guide with a beard led us, sharing in-depth stories about nature and history as we progressed. I was nervous since it was my first trekking experience, but I was thrilled when I stood on the Taiko Rock and the view opened up. I also became friends with a father and daughter who joined the tour, making it a surprisingly enjoyable experience.

髭モジャの外国人の方がガイドで、自然や歴史のことをじっくり話しながら進んでくれました。初めてのトレッキングでドキドキしましたが、太鼓岩の上に立って視界が開けた時は興奮しました。一緒になった父娘のお二人とも仲良くなり、思いがけない楽しさが詰まったツアーでした。

Even though I don't usually do much sightseeing in Ishigaki Island, it was really great to have a guided tour of the key spots, and the lunch included was fantastic!

石垣島に行ってもなかなか市内観光しないのですが、要所を巡ってもらって、ランチも付いててすごく良かったです！

The weather was nice, and the guide's stories provided a sense of value that you can only get by participating in the tour.
The lunch was delicious, but I felt the portion was a bit large.
If GOTO is postponed, I would like to repeat this during the snowy season.

天気も良く、ガイドさんのお話は、ツアーに参加しないと得られないお得感がありました。
昼食は、美味しかったけど、量が多かった気がします。
GOTOが延期なら、雪の時期にリピートしたいです。

A village with gassho-zukuri architecture covered in snow. I often saw it in posters and winter news, but seeing the gassho-zukuri village in person reminded me of the family values that Japanese people seem to have forgotten, nostalgic childhood memories, and the bonds of family. It felt like I was meeting my late father again.

雪をかぶった合掌造りの集落。良くポスターや冬のニュースで見ていたが、実際に見た合掌造りの集落は日本人が忘れかけた家族のあり方、懐かしい子供の頃の思い出を、そして家族の心の繋がりを思い出させてくれた。亡くなった父親に会った様だった。

I apologize for the delay caused by my junior this morning. As a result, we departed 10 minutes late, but thank you for waiting.

Now, regarding the tour itself, it was great that we were able to visit various places, but the tour guide was a foreigner. While they could speak Japanese, it was very difficult to understand them. Towards the end, their voice became so quiet that I couldn't hear the explanations. When they said, "Please ask if you have any questions," it was hard to do so under those circumstances.

We started from in front of the prefectural office, but there were many buses lined up, making it hard to find the right one. Other tour guides were calling out loudly, while ours just stood outside holding a customer list. That made it really confusing. Since I’m not very experienced with tours and this was only my second time, I didn’t know what to do. This was evident as other customers, who were also there more than 10 minutes early, ended up arriving at the bus just in time and expressed their confusion.

Additionally, I went with my junior this time, and while I understand the need for social distancing due to COVID, everyone could have easily maintained distance by sitting by the windows. However, we were made to sit together as a couple, and when I asked if we could move to the window seats, I was told to wait. Ultimately, we were able to sit by the window only in the afternoon. If they were going to allow it, they could have done so in the morning as well. Moreover, there was someone sitting alone who wanted to see the scenery and preferred to sit by the window, which was prioritized instead. Doesn’t that seem strange?

Please ensure proper training for the tour guides. If it had been a Japanese guide, I think we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

朝イチ後輩が遅れてすみませんでした。それで10分出発が遅れたのですが待っていただきありがとうございました。
早速ツアー内容なんですが、内容的には色々なところをまわれたのはよかったのですが、添乗員が外人さんで、日本語も大丈夫なのですが、非常に聞き取り辛かったです。説明も、自身がないのか終わりの方は声が小さく聞こえなかったです。
分からないことが有れば聞いてくださいって、これでは聞けないですよ。
出発の場所は県庁前からだったのですが、何台も並んでいたのでわかりにくかったです。他のツアーの添乗員さんは大きな声で呼んでいるのに、今回の添乗員は外に出て、顧客リストを持っているだけ。これではわかりませんよね。旅行慣れしていなく今回が2回目だったので、わかりませんでした。それを物語るのが、他のお客さんも、10分以上前に県庁前にいたのにギリギリにバスに着いてわからなかったって言ってバスに乗ってました。
あと、今回後輩と乗ったのですが、コロナで席を空けてるのはわかるのですが、全員窓際に座っても十分距離は保てるのに、私たちとカップルだけ2人で座らされ、窓際に移っていいですか？って聞いたら待ってください。って言われて結局窓際に座れたのが昼過ぎ。結局オッケーするなら午前中でも、よかったのではないでしょうか？それも、1人で座ってる人が景色ぐ見たいから逆に座りたいって言って、そっちを優先。おかしくないでしょうか？
添乗員教育ちゃんとしてください。日本人の添乗員だったらもう少し楽しめたかな。

Everything was very good. The guide's knowledge, the way they interacted with the customers, and the way they provided information were all great. The next day, I stayed in Hokuriku and signed up for a tour with a different company, but...

全てにおいてとてもよかったです。ガイドさんの知識、お客さんとの間の取り方、情報の教えてくれ方、全てにおいてよかったです。翌日も北陸に滞在しており、別会社のツアーを申込ましたが、

To get to the northern Yanbaru area, it's difficult without a rental car, so I signed up for the only bus tour that goes to Daishirinzan. The bus had proper infection control measures in place, including seat arrangements.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I was looking forward to the views from the observation decks at Cape Hedo and Daishirinzan, but sadly, I could barely see anything. The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the afternoon, so I wished we could have reversed the order of the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium later. (Since it's a group tour, I understand that the schedule for each location is fixed and changes are probably not possible.)

We had 80 minutes at Daishirinzan. I wanted to see the "Observation Deck" and "Gajumaru," so I walked the shortcut course "Kigan & Churaumi" plus the "Yanbaru Forest Course." I just barely made it back in time within the 80 minutes. I wished I had a bit more time.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had 180 minutes. Perhaps because it was the second day of a three-day weekend in September when people started to move around (they were allowing entry with restrictions for infection control), there was a huge line, and it took 20 minutes to get in after we started waiting. The tour guide mentioned that it was the longest line they had ever seen. However, even with the 20-minute wait, we had plenty of time with the 180-minute stay. I skipped the really crowded tanks, looked at the beach and sea turtles, and then returned to the aquarium to explore.

It seems that the tour content has changed now. It looks like it offers a better experience to fully enjoy Yanbaru.

北部やんばるエリアに行くにはレンタカー以外では難しくて、この大石林山に行くことができる唯一のバスツアーに申し込みました。
バス内では席位置等感染対策がしっかりととられていました。
当日はあいにくの雨。「辺戸岬」と「大石林山」の展望台からの景色を楽しみにしていたのですが残念ながらほぼ何も見えませんでした。午後からの天気予報は晴れだったので午後からの「美ら海水族館」と回る順番を逆にすることができたら良かったのになあって思いました。（ツアー団体だから各場所に行く予定時間は決まっていて変更は無理なんだろうとは思います）
「大石林山」の滞在時間は80分。「展望台」と「ガジュマル」は見たかったので「奇岩・美ら海」のショートカットコース+「やんばる森林コース」を歩きました。なんとかギリギリ80分でもどれました。もう少し時間が欲しかった。
「美ら海水族館」は滞在180分。人が動き出した9月の3連休の二日目のためか（感染対策のために入場制限をしながら入場させていた）入場はすごい列ができていて、並んでから入るまで20分かかりました。添乗員さんはこんなに行列ができているのは初めてだと言われていました。ただ20分並んでも180分滞在時間があったので時間は十分でした。すごく混んでいる水槽は飛ばし、ビーチやウミガメを見てからまた水族館にもどり入って見ました。

今はツアー内容が変更になっているようですね。やんばるをより満喫できる内容のようなので良さそうですね。

Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism seems to handle many tours, including those for groups, and efficiently guides participants through multiple different options, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without getting bored.

The bus driver and everyone involved clearly wanted the participants to appreciate the charm of the Yaeyama Islands, and I was completely captivated by the allure of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding Yaeyama Islands!

One point to note: I chose the rental bicycle option for Taketomi Island, but there are many unpaved areas on the roads. If you're not comfortable with cycling, you might want to consider the glass-bottom boat or other options.

石垣島ドリーム観光さんは、団体も含めてツアーの開催が多き手がけておられるようで、複数の異なるオプションの参加者を効率的に振り分け誘導されており、退屈することもなく、楽しむ事ができました。
道中のバスの運転手の方も含め、みなさん参加者の方に八重山の島々の魅力を知っていただきたいと言う気持ちが前面に出ており、すっかり石垣島を初めとする八重山諸島の魅力に虜になりました！
一点だけ、竹富島のオプションはレンタルサイクルにしましたが、道路が舗装されてない箇所も多いです。
自転車が苦手な方は、グラスボートとか他のオプションを検討されてもいいかと思います。

I wish we could have spent more time exploring Shirakawa-go and Takayama. If we could have extended our time by 30 minutes each, arriving back in Kanazawa an hour later would have been fine. The guide was wonderful. It was a trip to show my friends from Tokyo around. I'm satisfied.

白川郷も高山も散策時間を長くして欲しかった。
３０分ずつ長くして金沢帰着１時間遅くても・・・
ガイドさんは素晴らしい。
東京の友人を案内する旅行であった。満足です。

I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and delicious food. I was especially satisfied with the food, as I took notes and asked the guide for information to fully enjoy it. The bus had automatic hand sanitizer available, and the seats were spaced out nicely, which was good for infection control. I definitely want to go again.

美しい景色と美味しい食べ物を満喫しました。
特に食べ物についてはガイドさんからの情報をメモしたり、尋ねたりしてしっかり食べて来て大満足です。
バスには自動で出る消毒液が設置してあり、席も程よく空いていたので感染対策として良かったです。
またぜひ行きたいと思っています。

The aquarium allows unlimited entry on the same day, so I was able to go from the aquarium to the dolphin show and then re-enter the aquarium to take my time looking around. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, which was lucky. I was also able to see the baby sea turtles that are only available during this season, which was great.

水族館は当日限り何回でも入場可能なので、水族館→イルカショー、その後に水族館に再入場してゆっくり見ることができました。平日だったこともあり、大混雑もなかったのでラッキーでした。この時期だけのウミガメの赤ちゃんも見ることができよかったです。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

I was looking for a tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island since I couldn't drive. There was a pick-up service from the hotel in Onna Village, and the tour was very fulfilling and great! Even without a car, I was able to visit various places on a day trip.

車が運転できなかったので、美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行けるツアーを探していました。宿泊していた恩納村のホテルまで送迎があり、内容も充実していてとても良かったです！！車がなくても日帰り観光で色々な場所に行けました。

I was amazed by the stunning views of Kabira Bay. The bus guide's explanation of Ishigaki Island was helpful for sightseeing. The lunch was also delicious.

川平湾の絶景には驚きました。バスガイドさんの石垣島の説明は観光の参考になりました。ランチも美味しかったです。

I was worried about COVID-19 and contacted them the day before, so I participated with some anxiety. The driver was very safe, and I didn't feel tired even after a long time. The guide explained things inside the bus, not at the site. They used demonstrative pronouns like "that" and "there," so it was hard to understand the guide's explanations from the back seats, which was a bit disappointing. The food had a good quantity, but the taste was... The tour itinerary was good. The bus was full, crowded, with no windows that could open, and passengers were concerned about the ventilation, which made me quite worried as well. It might be unavoidable, but I wished they could have used a bus with windows for better ventilation and spaced out the seats for each group. I participated with some anxiety.

コロナが心配で前日に問い合わせしたり、心配の中での参加でした。運転手さんの運転手さんも安全運転で長時間でも疲れませんでした。現地ではなく、バスの中でガイドさんが説明をしてくれます。そこが、あそこ、あれがとう指示代名詞を使われて説明するので、後ろの席だと、ガイドさんの説明が分かりづらく、イマイチだったので、ちょっと残念。料理も量はありましたが、味は…。ツアーの行程は、良かったです。バスの中は、満席で、密、窓がない、窓が開かないバスだったので、バスの乗客が密すぎるー、換気どうなんだーって皆さん話していて、私もかなり心配しました。仕方ないことなのかもしれませんが、窓のあるバスにして乗客が換気できる、グループごとに席を空けるなど、工夫して欲しかったです。
ちょっと心配の中での参加となりました。

I participated on the last day of my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed a half-day tour from morning until 2:30 PM. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided very clear explanations. Since it had just rained, there was a rainbow arching over the green mangroves and blue sky, which was refreshing for the soul.

The water buffalo cart to Yufuin was also a lot of fun, as I learned about the buffalo's stories and the history and culture of Yufuin. I would love to visit again!

旅行最終日に参加しました。朝から昼14:30までの半日観光でたっぷり満喫♪マングローブクルーズではガイドさんがとてもわかりやすく案内してくれました。雨上がりだったので、緑のマングローブと青い空に七色の虹がかかり、心が洗われました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、牛さんたちのエピソードや由布島の歴史や文化を知れてとても楽しかったです。
また訪れたいな〜

We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed a meaningful trekking experience, even while causing some trouble for our guide, who was determined not to let anyone fall behind. The long trolley path on the way down was tough, but we managed to return before sunset, and I am satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much.

天候にも恵まれ、絶対に脱落者を出さないというガイドさんにご迷惑をおかけしながら有意義なトレッキングを堪能しました。下りきった後の長いトロッコ道はしんどかったですが何とか日没までに帰ることができ満足しています。ありがとうございました。

This price is just too surprising! Everything is so good, I highly recommend it! Dinner was also incredibly delicious!

これでこの値段はおどろきすぎます！
全部よすぎてめちゃくちゃおすすめです！
夜ご飯も美味しすぎました！

I participated in a Shirakawa-go tour that I had wanted to join for a long time. The tour guide provided plenty of information about the highlights, recommended photo spots, and souvenirs, making it very enjoyable. The autumn leaves were beautiful this time, but I would like to join a tour during the snowy season next time.

以前から行きたかった白川郷ツアーに参加しました。
添乗員さんの見どころの説明やお勧め写真スポット、お土産の話等盛りだくさんで楽しめました。
今回は紅葉がとても綺麗でしたが、次回は雪の季節のツアーに参加してみたいと思いまます。

I was able to efficiently visit various places and had a great time!

I also enjoyed the long-awaited Churaumi Aquarium, which was wonderful!

Since there isn't much time for American Village, I think it might be better to include other spots that can be enjoyed in a short time instead of forcing it into the plan.

I also had a meal where I could see Ryukyu dance, and both the food and drinks were delicious, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

It was a fantastic value plan! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々まわっていただけて、とても楽しめました！

念願の美ら海水族館も楽しめて、良かったです！

アメリカンビレッジが、かなり時間がないので、無理にプランに入れずに短時間でも楽しめる他スポットを入れても良いかと思いました。

琉球舞踊のみれる食事もつけていただきましたが、食事もお酒も美味しくて、楽しく鑑賞できました。

コスパの素晴らしいプランでした！
ありがとうございました！

I got caught in a little rain, but I was able to use the GO TO discount, and with that price, including admission to the Churaumi Aquarium, it was more than satisfactory. It was a very satisfying tour that included all the places I wanted to visit.

少し雨に降られましたが、ＧＯＴＯも使えて、あの金額、しかも美ら海水族館の入場も含まれるので申し分ありません。行きたいところが全部入っていたとても満足いくツアーでした。

I inquired whether the "designated hotel pick-up" meant they would come to pick me up at my accommodation, and it turned out to be five hotels associated with Jumbo Tours. Fortunately, one of them was just a seven-minute walk from my hotel, so I decided to join the tour.

The itinerary allowed us to efficiently visit the major spots in the northern region that would be difficult to cover in a day on our own, thanks to the guide's advice. In particular, we spent about three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium and even extended our visit to the Tropical Dream Center.

Regarding COVID-19 measures, both the guide and the driver were very considerate, which made me feel quite safe.

Additionally, it was my first time touring while listening to audio guides in eight different languages. Although it may seem rude to the guide, I felt it was better for them to provide supplementary explanations of the timely audio guides rather than repeating the same information each time. Considering the number of foreign travelers, this approach felt appropriate. (Since it was during the pandemic, the GOTO program was only for Japanese people... haha)

『指定ホテル送迎可』は宿泊ホテルに迎えに来てくれるのかと問い合わせしたらジャンボツアーズ社様の関わる５つのホテルでした。幸いに、その一つが宿泊所から徒歩７分の所にありましたので、気を取り直してツアーに参加しました。

内容は、個人では１日ではなかなか回れない北部の主要スポットを、ガイドさんのアドバイスの中で効率よく観光できました。特に、『美ら海水族館』は滞在時間が約3時間！あり、熱帯ドリームセンターまで足を伸ばせました。

コロナ対策については、ガイドさんだけではなく運転手さんも必要以上に配慮されていて大変安心しました。

また、初めて８か国の音声ガイドを聞きながら観光をしましたが、ガイドさんには失礼ですが毎回毎回同じこと喋るよりは、ガイドさんにはその時に旬な音声ガイドの補足を説明していただき、外国の旅行者が多いことを考えるとこれもありと感じました。
（　コロナ禍だったのでGOTOは日本人だけでしたが・・・　笑　）
