I was most pleased that the bus ran almost on time, likely because I used it on a weekday. There were many foreign passengers, but it wasn't so crowded that I couldn't find a seat. The seats were comfortable since they were designed for sightseeing buses, allowing for a pleasant journey. There was also an attendant who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. Later, I used a local bus on the same route, but it stopped at every bus stop and was crowded, making this bus far more comfortable. The sightseeing information wasn't very detailed, but if you view it as a means of transportation, I was very satisfied. In busy Kyoto, I was able to learn about various spots along the route while sitting comfortably and moving quickly. I used it in October, and the open-top bus had a bit of a chilly breeze, so don't forget your jacket! It was also nice to have the option to ride both open-top and covered buses, as the type of vehicle varied depending on the operating hours.
平日に利用したせいか、ほぼ時間通りの運行なのが一番嬉しかったです。外国人の利用者が多かったですが、座れないほどではありませんでした。観光バスのシートなので座り心地もよく快適に移動できました。日本語を話すアテンダントさんもいて安心です。後日、同じルートで路線バスを利用しましたが、バス停でいちいち停車するし混雑していて、こちらのバスの方が段違いに快適でした。観光案内はそれほど詳しくありませんでしたが、移動手段として割り切れば大変満足です。混雑しがちな京都で通過地点のスポットが何か教えてもらえ、なおかつ座って快速に移動できました。10月に利用し、オープントップのバスは風がやや冷たかったのでジャケットをお忘れなく!屋根なしタイプ、屋根ありタイプ各種に乗れたのも良かったです。(運行時間により車両タイプが違いました)
時刻表をしっかり下調べして効率的に周れるよう計画するとよいです。時間通りの運行を狙うなら平日の日中が良さそうです。下車地は本当に行きたい場所だけ3~4か所といったところ

It was relaxing and wonderful. The boatman was kind. We had a table set up and enjoyed drinks and snacks we brought along. The shop boat also came by, and we were able to get warm oden and cold beer. We rented it for an hour, but my companions requested to extend it to two hours next time!

The guide was not at the meeting time, and the bus number that was originally listed was different, so we had to walk around quite a bit at the meeting place to find it. The bus was also in very poor condition. It was not a large tour bus, but a small microbus, giving more of a feeling of being transported rather than riding. The ride was very bumpy, lacked cleanliness, and even had an unpleasant smell. If I had brought my grandparents, I think I would have canceled.
The guide could not speak Japanese. Since we could speak both English and Chinese, we managed, but I felt that at least someone who could speak simple Japanese would be necessary in case of an emergency.
Although it was stated that we would go directly from Nipponbashi in Osaka to Shiga, we ended up going to Kyoto because we had to go to another boarding point, resulting in a loss of about 50 to 60 minutes overall. The time we had at the main attraction, the art museum, was significantly shortened, which was quite disappointing. We could hardly see the exhibits, and since we also had to have lunch, it was very busy.
Additionally, despite the tour fee being quite high, all entrance fees and meal costs were out of pocket. I think it's usually included, so that was disappointing.
The only good thing was that we were able to go to places we normally wouldn't visit. The price and quality are not balanced at all.
集合時間にガイドがおらず、元々記載されていたバスのナンバーも異なっており、集合場所でかなり歩き回ってさがしました。
そしてバスがあまりにもボロい。
大きな観光バスではなく、小型のマイクロバスで、乗車というよりかは輸送されている(運ばれている)感覚。揺れも大きく、清潔感もなく、臭いまでありました。仮に祖父母などを連れていっていたとしたらキャンセルしていたと思います。
ガイドは日本語が話せませんでした。
我々が英語も中国語もできたからまだ大丈夫でしたが、せめて簡単な日本語を話せる人じゃないと緊急時は頼りにならないなと思いました。
大阪日本橋からそのまま滋賀に向かうと書かれていたのに、もうひとつの乗り場までいくからとのことで京都まで行き、全体で見ると50~60分のロス。
最初に行ったツアーのメインである美術館での時間は大変短くなってしまい、かなり残念でした。展示品はほぼ見ることが出来ず、昼食も取らなければならなかったのでかなり忙しかったです。
またツアー代はしっかりかかっているにも関わらず、入場代や食事代は全て実費。
普通は含まれていることが多いと思うので、残念でした。
良かったところは普段行けないところに行けたという一点のみ。
値段と質があまりにも釣り合っておりません。

It was hard to understand which bus to take! If the goal is to teach Japanese manners while sightseeing, I would have liked to see the guide apologize to everyone for being 15 minutes late. Also, I was surprised that while Japanese people tend to sit in the same spot once they take their seats, foreigners do not. The guide was very dedicated and tried hard to communicate in Japanese, and I felt a bit sorry for participating as a Japanese person, but it was fun. Next time, I want to study English and join!
どのバスにのるかわかりづらかった!
日本のマナーとか教えたりしながら観光をする事が目的だとすれば、出発時間15分遅れて来たら、皆に一言謝る姿勢なども伝えてほしかった!また、1度座席に座れば、同じ場所に座るのが、日本人だが、外国の人は、そうではないのにびっくりしたのが、大きすぎて、ガイドも日本語で、がんばって接してくれていて日本人が一緒に参加して申し訳なかったですが、楽しかったです。今度は、英語を勉強してきて参加したいですね!
It's essential to know the guide and bus number when signing up. I was flustered.

I visited Kyoto with my 2-year-old son. Since it was a holiday, everywhere was crowded. Although we made reservations without a plan, they suggested a zoo and an aquarium that would be enjoyable for a 2-year-old, while also considering my desire to do some sightseeing. They organized a plan that accommodated both of our needs.
During the drive, they provided various explanations and suggested lunch options. When we happened to not have a lunch reservation, they even waited in line for us while we stayed in the taxi, providing exceptional service. I felt like a VIP.
I truly appreciated it. I plan to visit Kyoto again next time, and I intend to request their services once more. Thank you very much.

I traveled to Kyoto with my elderly parents and younger sister, making it a group of four. We wanted to visit Enryaku-ji, Ohara, and Shimogamo Shrine, so we requested a sightseeing taxi for seven hours. Our driver, Matsui, was knowledgeable and had excellent conversational skills. Most importantly, he was very considerate towards my father, who has difficulty walking. We invited him to join us for lunch, but he said, "Since this is a family trip, I’ll let you enjoy it privately," and mentioned that he had brought his own lunch. While I believe the compatibility with the driver plays a role, I highly recommend Matsui. I think you can enjoy sightseeing that exceeds the price you pay.

今年はことのほか暑い日がいつまでも続き、やっと近頃過ごしやすい京都となりました。
お供させていただいた齊藤も子供好きで、本人も子供の様にはしゃぎ、ご迷惑ではなかったでしょうか?
7時間という暑い京都だけではなく、紅葉や雪の京都もオススメでございます!
どうか又お運びくださいませ。
齊藤、スタッフ一同でお待ちしております。。。
それまで皆様お身体ご自愛くださいませ
ありがとうございました

Went with my family, since we came the service was very efficient, no waiting line and it was a private reservation so we had the boat by ourselves.
The view is beautiful, the food was really good and had a lot of variety of Japanese food, the presentation of everything was really well thought!
There is also a convenience boat, which selled drinks, grilled squid and dango. It was very nice! 1 hour of boat trip but it was totally worth it.
Would do it again!
I recommend going to the private boat ride if you would like a peaceful experience.
Thank you for boarding.In spring, the cherry blossoms are very beautiful, and in autumn, the colorful leaves are also very beautiful.I am looking forward to the day we can meet.
Please come again.

Amazing folks all around from boat operator to the people servicing the ticket. But the Vletra website is very old, clunky and confusing, selecting the right number of people was difficult on Veltra website. So I paid for whatever it let me select, then got in touch via email to pay for the rest. Website needs a major update.
Thank you for coming. Did you enjoy the houseboat? Also, please come visit us if you have the opportunity.

I am truly grateful that you kindly agreed to my unreasonable request to pick me up 1 hour and 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
On the day of the trip, while I had a few places in mind to visit, I also asked you to take me wherever you thought was good, and you responded immediately, making it a really enjoyable journey!
The driver assigned to us was not only knowledgeable but also fun to talk to, and he paid attention to even the smallest details. I definitely want to request your services again next time!
I think I may have worn you out with my hectic schedule, but I really had a great time. Thank you very much!
前日に予約時間より1時間30分も前倒してお迎えに来てほしいと言う無茶を快く聞いてくださり本当に感謝でした。
当日は、数箇所は行く所が決まっていましたが、あとはノープランで、行ける所に行って下さいと言うお願いにもすぐにご対応いただき、本当に楽しい旅になりました!
またご担当下さったドライバーさんが知識豊富なのはもちろんのこと、お話も楽しく、細やかなところまで配慮してくださり、また次回もぜひ、ぜひお願いしたいと思いました!
バタバタなスケジュールでお疲れさせてしまったかと思いますが、本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました!
Dear Asami,
Thank you very much for allowing us to accompany you on your trip. We are truly delighted to receive a five-star rating. The driver who accompanied you on the day is also very happy!
This year has been exceptionally hot; I hope you weren't too tired. We are completely fine with adjusting the schedule or any last-minute changes! If it brings you joy, we will make every effort possible, so please do come again, Asami. Kyoto is beautiful throughout the year!
All of our drivers and staff are looking forward to your next visit. Please take care of yourself during this lingering heat.
Thank you very much.

The driver was a woman, and she was very kind and attentive. In the morning, she came to pick me up at the hotel with plenty of time to spare. The driving was smooth, and I felt safe the entire time. Overall, it was a wonderful and fulfilling trip thanks to the excellent guide. I'm really glad I made the request.
At first, I hesitated to call a taxi, but given the heat, I decided to book one at the last minute. I even borrowed a charger while in the car. The vehicle was a Serena, which was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I highly recommend it!
女性のドライバーさんでしたが、とても親切で丁寧でした。
朝も、余裕をもってホテルまで迎えに来て下さいました。
運転も荒くなく、安心して乗れました。
兎に角、ガイドが素晴らしく充実した旅行となりした。
お願いをして本当に良かったです。
最初は、タクシーを頼むことに迷いがありましたが、この暑さもあり思い切って直前で予約しました。
車内では、充電器までお借りしました。
車は、セレナで中も綺麗かつ広くとても快適でした。
本当にオススメです!
Dear Yacco,
Thank you very much for choosing our services. How was your trip to Kyoto in the scorching heat? Our driver who accompanied you was very pleased to receive your compliments. We are truly grateful for the five-star rating you gave us.
With each rain, we are gradually feeling the arrival of autumn. We hope you will also have the chance to see Kyoto in the fall. Please do visit us again if the opportunity arises. Our driver and all the staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you once again for this journey. Please take care of yourself during this lingering heat.

This was an amazing experience. The day was well planned, well run and we had some amazing experiences.

Recently, despite the sudden heavy rain, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed a private experience without the scorching heat. The boatman explained everything well and was friendly, allowing us to relax for an hour. With a roof overhead, we could enjoy the shade while fanning ourselves in a pleasant atmosphere. After dealing with a lot of unpleasant things lately, I was able to spend time peacefully. Additionally, there were other boats around, and it seemed like everyone was unsure of their direction and might collide, but the boatman helped us escape slowly. Thank you very much.
最近ゲリラ豪雨もある中天気に恵まれカンカン照りでもなく優雅に貸切で堪能しました。
船頭さんも良く説明のタイミングがよく
話したら気さくに話をかえしてくれてのんびり1時間過ごせました。
屋根ありなので日陰のなか扇子をあおぎ良い空間を過ごせます。
最近嫌なことが多かった為、心穏やかに過ごせました。また、周りにテゴキボートがいて、みんな行きたい方向がわからずぶつかられそうでしたが船頭さんはゆっくりと脱出してくれました。
ありがとうございました。
Experiencing such a sophisticated and elegant journey creates wonderful memories. I encourage you to try it out. I hope you can carve out a beautiful page for yourself, enhancing your personal growth
こーゆう大人な優雅な旅ができるのは

It's a good idea to thoroughly research the timetable and plan efficiently. If you're aiming for on-time service, weekdays during the day seem to be the best option. As for stops, it's best to choose
