This is my second time on the English and Chinese tour. Once again, I was the only Japanese person! I was approached in broken Japanese, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch, as well as received directions to the meeting place. Thanks to that, I was able to spend a pleasant time.
英語、中国語ツアーは、今回2回目です。またまた日本人は、私ひとり!片言の日本語で声をかけて頂き、ランチが、美味しく頂けましたし、集合場所を教えてもらったりしました。お陰で和やかな時間が過ごせました。

The meeting place (somewhere in the building?) was hard to find. If it was this confusing, I would have liked to see a staff member arrive at least 30 minutes before the meeting time to help organize things. In fact, other tour staff members were already there.
The tour guide seemed to be Chinese and wasn't very proficient in languages other than Chinese. The English was also hard to understand (my daughter-in-law speaks English). What I found most disappointing was the lack of knowledge about Japan and the Japanese language. I participated with my daughter-in-law, who only speaks English and is from Canada, while I am a Japanese person who is okay with English.
The most unpleasant part was that the guide couldn't pronounce difficult words like Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. They also couldn't explain Irohazaka (not understanding the meaning of "Iroha"). It was unfortunate that lunch was a vegetarian meal, but there was no explanation, so some participants were confused about whether there was meat in the meal (they didn't know what yuba was).
It's such a good tour, but as a Japanese person, I felt disappointed.
集合場所(ビルのどこか?)がわかりにくかった。
これだけわかりにくいのなら、少なくとも集合時間の30分前には係の人がきて整理してもらいたかった。実際にほかのツアーの係の人は、来ていました
ツアーの添乗員が中国人(?)らしい方で、中国語以外が上手でない。英語もわかりにくかった(義娘は英語)
一番だめだと思ったのが、日本や日本語の知識がない。
私はカナダから来た英語のみの義娘と参加した、英語は大丈夫な日本人です
最も不愉快だったのは、華厳の滝や中禅寺湖など難しい単語が発音できないこと。いろは坂の説明ができないこと(イロハの意味がわかっていない)
気の毒だったのは昼食が精進料理だったのですが、全く説明がなかったため、この食事の中に肉があるのかどうかわからず食べれず(ユバがなんだかわからないですよ)困っていた参加者がいました
せっかくこのような良いツアーなのに、日本人として残念でした

I have never participated in such a terrible tour. After gathering in Shinjuku, there was no announcement when the bus departed. I had no idea where we were going or how long it would take. Even when we arrived at the destination, there was no information about where we had arrived or when to regroup; everyone was checking on their own. I chose this tour because it was supposed to be in English and Chinese, but there was absolutely no explanation at each sightseeing spot. I regretted not joining a regular Japanese tour instead.
At Toshogu Shrine, the bus parking was a bit far away, and I was relieved that everyone (mostly Chinese) returned safely without any accidents. I participated in this tour thinking it would be nice for my overseas friends, but I was disappointed. I believe this is not just a problem with the guide but a quality control issue with Veltra. If the customers had been Westerners, I think there would have been complaints on the spot, and accidents like getting lost could have occurred.
I hope they work on improving the quality of the tours.
これだけ酷いツアーには参加したことがありません。
新宿集合後、バスが出発しても何のアナウンスもありません。どこに行くのかどのくらい時間が掛かるのか全く分かりません。バスが到着してもどこについたのかいつ再集合かボード、アナウンス全くなく各々確認していました。英語、中国語のツアーとのことで選んだのですが各観光地の説明は全くありません。これなら日本語の普通のツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。
東照宮ではバスの駐車場は少し離れた場所で良くみんな(ほとんどが中国人)無事に事故無く帰ってきたと思いました。
ベルトラさんの海外のツアーに参加して今回は海外の友達にいいかなと思い参加しましたががっかりです。
これはガイドさんの問題でなくベルトラさんの品質管理の問題だと思います。お客が欧米人ならその場で文句が出ていたと思いますしはぐれて帰ってこないなどの事故が起こっていたかと思います。
ツアーの品質改善に取り組んでほしいと思います。

I was able to fully enjoy my longed-for trip to Nikko. Although it rained unfortunately, Nikko Toshogu Shrine was truly magnificent. Chuzenji was also wonderful.
憧れの日光を満喫できました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、日光東照宮はとても素晴らしいものでした。
中禅寺も素晴らしかったです。
