Great tour with Taka San! Great tour with Taka San!

Reviewed by: Tiffany S

We had the best time with Taka San - we felt like we were great friends by the end of our day in Kyoto. He immersed us in Japanese customs and traditions and thoroughly explained the nuances of each temple and shrine. His local knowledge made our experience in Kyoto better than we could have ever imagined. He even found us a great ramen spot for lunch - he even pushed my grandma in a wheelchair up a steep slope so she could see the beautiful temple. He is truly one of a kind - and we will call him every time we visit Kyoto and the surrounding area. Thank you, Taka San, for an unforgettable experience. The driving tour and his knowledge were so amazing! Having him drive us around and explain everything in such detail was such a special experience! Could not recommend him more!!

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: ナカヤマ

I was taken on a tour of Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu-dera for three hours starting at 6:30 AM. A few days prior, I received contact to confirm the details, and despite it being early in the morning, they kindly accommodated me without any additional charges. They guided us slowly to accommodate my mother, who has difficulty walking, and the stories along the way were very interesting! My whole family truly enjoyed it and we are all grateful to Mr. Kumagai. Thank you very much.

朝6時半から3時間で伏見稲荷と清水寺の観光に連れていってもらいました。
数日と前日に連絡を頂き詳細を確認しあえたり、
早朝にもかかわらず割り増し料金なしで快く対応して頂きました。
足の悪い母に合わせてゆっくりとガイドしてくださり、途中のお話もとてもおもしろかったです！
家族皆、本当に楽しかった、熊谷さんのおかげだと話しております。

京都・嵐山 貸切屋形船 水面から季節を楽しむ優雅な舟遊び＜飲食物持込OK／1時間貸切＞by 嵐山通船

The private rental was amazing. 貸し切り最高でした

Reviewed by: Kana

Since it was still early in the season and there were no autumn leaves yet, we were able to enjoy a nearly private experience on the houseboat on the river! Despite the early morning, a water convenience store came by, and since we hadn't prepared any food, we were able to enjoy a moment of luxury. The person who rowed the boat was also entertaining, and it felt like they were talking the whole time. It was an experience I would recommend to my friends.

時期的にまだ紅葉がなく、朝イチだったのもあり、川をほぼ貸し切りの状態で屋形船に乗れました！朝早かったにもかかわらず水上コンビニも来てくれて、食べ物をなにも用意してなかったのでひと時の贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
船を漕いでくれた方のトークもおもしろくずっと喋っていた気がします。友人に勧めたい体験でした。

【満席御礼】嵐山 夏の風物詩「鵜飼い」と「五山送り火」を楽しむ屋形船遊覧（2025/8/16限定）＜乗合船1名様〜予約可＞

Watching cormorant fishing from a houseboat (heavy rain) 屋形舟で鵜飼鑑賞（大雨）

Reviewed by: たまちゃん

It had been a while since I visited Kyoto. I participated in a tour to see the cormorant fishing and the Gozan Okuribi (the fire sending ceremony) from a houseboat.

The weather was suspicious from the start, and just before the cormorant fishing began, we were hit by heavy rain. Just when I was starting to give up hope that it would be canceled, the cormorant fishing started, and I was able to enjoy it after all.

I was worried that the fire sending ceremony wouldn't be able to take place after the heavy rain, but to my surprise, I was able to see the large "大" and "⛩" fires. By the time we disembarked, the rain had stopped, and I wished the timing had been better. Just then, the boatman instructed us to reboard, and we were able to enjoy the cormorant fishing once more.

It was heartwarming to see the effort from the cormorant fishermen and the boatman to ensure that participants had the best experience possible, despite the bad weather.

P.S. I got completely soaked from the initial downpour, comparable to waiting in line for an attraction at Universal Studios Japan, but some participants rated the experience highly, saying, "It was a valuable experience!" which lightened the mood. I recommend wearing clothes that can get wet. (You won't get wet if it doesn't rain.)

久しぶりの京都。屋形舟から見る鵜飼と五山送り火ツアーに参加しました。
乗船時から怪しい天気でしたが鵜飼が始まる前に大雨に。これは中止も仕方ないかと諦めかけた頃に鵜飼がスタート。なんとか鑑賞できました。
送り火も大雨の後で点火出来ないんじゃ無いかと心配してましたが思ったより大きく『大』と『⛩』の送り火が見れました。
下船する頃には雨が止み時間がズレてたら良かったのにと思っていたら、船頭さんから再乗船の指示が有りもう一度鵜飼鑑賞させて頂ける事になりました。
天候不良は鵜匠さんや船頭さんの不備じゃ無いのに参加者に最大限楽しんで貰おうという姿勢が嬉しかったです。
追伸:
最初の大雨でUSJのアトラクション並にずぶ濡れになりましたがツアー参加者から『貴重な体験が出来た！』と高評価の方が居て場が和みました。
濡れても良い服を推奨します。

I took a ride on a yakatabune (houseboat) on the Katsura River in Arashiyama. Although it was a shared ride, the wind was blowing outside, providing good ventilation, which made me feel safe. The boatman explained various things, and we had a great time on the boat for two hours. I knew that the Gozan Okuribi (Daimonji Fire Festival) was very famous, but seeing it from the river was wonderful. It's definitely a place where you can create great memories, whether it's for a date or with family.

Is "Arashiyama" a once-in-a-lifetime experience? 一生に一度の「嵐山」？

Reviewed by: まだまだ未熟

August 16 is the day of the "Gozan no Okuribi," which everyone knows. Given the current times, I was wondering what it would be like, but I decided to participate in a "yakatabune cruise." Before boarding, I had some concerns about the weather, but we ended up departing. First, we enjoyed "cormorant fishing," but as soon as it started, we were hit by a torrential downpour accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, which made for a memorable experience. This is not meant to be ironic; it wasn't about whether we could see the cormorant fishing or not, but rather the conviction of the cormorant fisherman and the determination of the audience synchronized in that heavy rain, which was really fascinating. The atmosphere and excitement outweighed the fear. Afterward, the rain stopped, and we were able to see the "Daimonji" on Higashiyama and the "torii," making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me, a true "souvenir for the afterlife."

8月16日は、皆さんご存知の「五山の送り火」当日です。
昨今のご時世から、どんなものかと思案しつつも、「屋形船遊覧」に参加しました。乗船前は、天候に一抹の不安を持ちつつも、結局出発しました。先ずは「鵜飼鑑賞」ですが、始まるや否や、雷の閃光と轟とともに集中豪雨に襲われて、楽しい時を過ごさせてもらいました。これは皮肉でも何でもなくて、鵜飼は鑑賞できたかできないかではなく、あの豪雨の中での、鵜匠さんの信念と観客の根性が、シンクロしてとっても面白かったです。恐怖よりもその時の雰囲気と高揚感が勝ってました。その後雨も止んで、東山の「大文字」と、「鳥居」も鑑賞できて、私的には二度とない経験をさせてもらい、「冥途の土産」になりました。

Yakatabune, Ukai fishing, Gozan Okuribi 屋形船　鵜飼漁　五山送り火

Reviewed by: 京都大好き

On the evening of August 17th, under a cloudy sky, we found ourselves at the Oi River, facing the crowded Togetsukyo Bridge filled with many spectators. Together with a young and charming boatman, we boarded one of the many yakkabune (traditional pleasure boats) along with about ten other guests. Tonight marked the "Gozan Okuribi," a fire festival that hadn't taken place in three years. Luxuriously watching the cormorant fishing up close, everyone was eagerly waiting for the lighting of the "Dai" character, barely able to contain our excitement. Nearby, there were yakkabune that seemed to belong to celebrities, with real taiko and shakuhachi players creating beautifully enchanting sounds that heightened the atmosphere even more. Then, suddenly, we heard distant thunder and lightning, followed by an unexpected downpour. Everyone got soaked, and a sense of unease spread among us. However, we were all hoping for a miracle. Soon, the rain lightened, and lights appeared on the distant mountains, causing a stir of excitement among us. Before we knew it, the "Dai" character emerged, truly majestic and worthy of the term "sublime," and it was genuinely moving. There were even women among the boat passengers who were in tears. A sense of unity spread throughout the boat. Thank you so much to everyone from Kyoto and the Kyoto Prefectural Police who prepared for this event. I truly recommend this experience.

8／17の曇空の晩、沢山の見物客でごった返す渡月橋を目の前にした大堰川。若く話が上手い船頭さんと私たち10余名の客はそこに浮かぶたくさんの屋形船の一つに乗り込みました。今夜は3年ぶりの「五山送り火」。贅沢にも鵜飼漁を間近で見ながら、今か今かと皆興奮を隠し切れずに大文字の点灯を待っていました。辺りではセレブと思しき屋形船があり本物の鼓と横笛の奏者がその幻想的に美しい音色を響かせ、益々雰囲気を盛り上げていました。すると間もなく遠くに稲光と雷鳴が響き、まさかの大雨。皆びしょ濡れになり不安が漂たっていました。しかし皆奇跡を待ち望んでもいました。すると、小雨になり、遠くの山に灯りが見え、一同ざわめきと興奮が。そして、みるみる内に「大」の字が姿を現し、それはまさに荘厳と呼ぶに相応しく、本当に感動しました。舟客の中には泣いている女性もいた程でした。舟全体に一体感が広がりましました。ご準備をして下さって京都や京都府警の皆さん本当にありがとうございました。このイベントは本当おすすめだと思います。

Since it was during Golden Week, I thought transportation would be crowded, and moving around by ourselves would be tiring, so I decided to book this tour. Also, group tours can be inflexible, so I opted for a private tour. It turned out to be the right choice!

Just the two of us traveled in a van. Our driver took us around to various places in the heat and even took photos for us while explaining historical facts. Moreover, he even gave us some snacks as souvenirs, and I am truly grateful for this wonderful experience. If I have the chance to visit Kyoto again, I would definitely like to request this tour!

I did feel a bit regretful that we had a little extra time at the end, but overall, it was a great experience.

GW中ということもあり、交通機関も混雑してるだろうし、自分たちで移動するのも疲れるだろうとこちらのツアーを予約させて頂きました。

最後ちょっと時間が余っちゃってもったいなかったかな？と少しだけ心残りですが、結果オーライです。

It was very comfortable. とても快適でした

Reviewed by: さくら

I have traveled to Kyoto many times by car, but this time I used a taxi since it was New Year's Day. Buses are usually crowded, so having a car is convenient, but it often takes time to find parking or to get to the destination if it's far away. With a taxi, you can go right to the entrance of your destination, and they pick you up from the nearest spot on the way back.

I wasn't able to decide on a destination until the last minute, but they kept in touch and listened to my requests, suggesting a great place to go. On the day of the trip, they even accommodated an unplanned lunch, allowing us to enjoy a meal without having to search around.

Thanks to the driver, who was well-versed in Kyoto, we were able to tour smoothly and efficiently. On the day of travel, we drove to the city, and before we left, they informed us about the road conditions. I was worried about the snow, but I was able to enter Kyoto via the highway with peace of mind.

We were a group of four, and I considered upgrading to a larger vehicle for an additional fee, but it turned out to be unnecessary as the car was spacious and comfortable enough. I highly recommend this taxi company. Thank you for your service; I would definitely like to use it again.

京都へは何度も自家用車で行っていますが今回は元旦ということでタクシーを利用しました。
バスは毎回混んでいるので車は便利なのですが、駐車場を探したり、目的地まで距離があったり時間を取られることも多いです。
タクシーですと目的地の入口まで行けて帰りは最短の場所に迎えに来てくれます。
ギリギリまで目的地が決まらなかったのですが、まめに連絡をいただき要望を聞いてくださり目的地をご提案くださいました。
当日も予定になかったランチにもご対応くださり、自分たちで探し回ることなくランチにありつけました。

京都に精通しているドライバーさんのお陰でスムーズに無駄なく観光できました。
また当日も京都市内までは車で行ったのですが、出発前に道路状況の連絡をいただき雪が心配でしたが安心して高速で京都入りする事ができました。
また4人で利用でしたので追加料金で大きい車に変更しようかと迷ったのですがその必要はやく充分快適でした。
とてもおすすめのタクシー会社さんです。
お世話になりました。ぜひまた利用したいです。

He is very passionate and knowledgeable about Japanese culture and very happy and proudly shared with us along the trip and on every location we visited.
For anyone looking for this tour, I suggest to travel lite, although there's enough time for everyone, we even have a couple with a toddler and stroller within our group at that time, we still manage to finish all location and have spare time. But without our punctual guide, we won't be able to see so many locations in a day.

Effective and efficient tour of Kyoto in 1 day!

Reviewed by: Rachel

I would recommend this tour if you are looking for an efficient and effective use of time to cover all the main attractions of Kyoto in 1 day. The attractions covered were all the must see attractions so there was no time wasted at visiting attractions that were less popular. Time spent at each location is also about right - not too long and not too short. It didn’t feel very rush and we still had time to grab some but and walk around on our own a little. The bus was also comfortable and we manage to catch a nap between the attractions that were further apart. The explanations provided by the guide could be abit more detailed (as we are history lovers), but the information provided is definitely enough if you are looking for just an overview and the gists. Overall, it was definitely a day and money well spent given that we managed to cover all the attractions we wanted to see in Kyoto in one day. It was our first time in Kyoto, so this tour really helped to save us a lot of time and trouble of having to figure our way out via public transport. We wouldn’t have been able to cover all the attractions without this tour. The guided tour also helped us enjoy each attraction efficiently such that we do not have to loiter around aimlessly.

Due to limited time We booked this tour the day before. Due to the Booking time already closed on the website we had to co-ordinate our booking through VELTRA facebook messenger. The team were very fast to rely & with great communication we were able to secure 3 seats on the Tour.
The meeting location across from Kyoto Station was very easy to find & we waited for our Tour Guide. Jorge Introduced himself & lead us onto the bus for a very full day of sight seeing.
At Each Cultural sight we were given a full educational history & cultural commentary by Jorge & then our own time to explore, if time permitted a little shopping. My daughters & I always seemed to be rushing for the bus as so much to see & do at each location. Even though Jorge is not a native from Japan his knowledge & insight is fantastic. We found Jorge to be funny, calm & professional.
Our Tour was on Saturday & a public holiday in Japan, so some locations such
as the Bamboo Forrest & 1001 Tori gates were busy. Due to the crowds & a few mishaps during the day, & through no fault of our Tour guides, we ran behind
time. WE made our last stop The Golden Pavilion 10 mins before closing & as the sun was going down. Luckily I was able to get a few photos & walk around the Temple before the gates were closed. Our supplied lunch at the Bamboo Forest location was very unique & tasty.
I Recommend NOT DOING the TOUR on the weekend or Public Holiday if
possible. I would use Veltra Tours again & 100% highly recommend Jorge as a Tour Guide. Its a very full busy day & was very glad to be able to rest on the bus between locations.

Finding the starting point was easy as it was very easy to see at the train station. It was nice that there were translations available as one of us spoke English and the other spoke Chinese. Despite rainy weather the tour was great. The tour obviously runs on a schedule so lingering to meditate will not work. There was enough time to follow the trails and get a number of photos but be aware that there will be crowds as these are very popular tourist places.

Great experience seeing top sights in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: MikeT

My wife and I wanted to see several top sights in Kyoto in one day, but without the feeling of “it is 10.30, here is the temple, you have 2 minutes to take a couple of pictures then off we go.” Veltra’s full-day Kyoto highlights tour provided more than adequate time to enter each site and absorb its character. We greatly benefitted from an excellent and good-humored tour leader who provided concise but insightful explanations of the site being visited and its historical context. We especially enjoyed Kiyomizudera, where one has the chance to drink from one of three “streams of wisdom” coming from the sacred spring; the Fushimi Inari shrine, with its amazing “tunnel” of ochre torii; and Kinkakuji as the setting sun reflected off its gold exterior. Signing up for the tour was easy; finding the meeting point was easy; and following along with the narrations was easy (though some pre-recorded narrations on the bus were garbled — the guide just jumped in to fill the gap). Taking the optional upgrade to have lunch provided was a fun and cost-effective move. We would not hesitate to tour again with Veltra — a well-run outfit providing great value for money.
