It was a great decision to use it! 利用して大正解！

Reviewed by: Mikki

I have visited Kyoto many times, but this time I used the service because my Australian husband was with me. They answered all of his questions, and I learned a lot about the history and culture myself, which was truly wonderful. At first, I didn't expect to be guided like a tour guide during our sightseeing, but even though I had been there before, having a guide made it even more enjoyable. We were very well taken care of as a couple, and we are extremely satisfied. I definitely want to use the service again.

京都は何度も来たことがありますが、今回はオーストラリア人の夫も一緒なので利用させて頂きました。
夫のどんな質問も答えて頂き、歴史や文化、私自身もすごく勉強になり本当に良かったです。
最初、観光中もツアーガイドのように案内して貰えると思ってなかったのですが、今まで行ったことあってもガイドがつくと、より一層楽しく感じました。
夫婦でお世話になり、大満足です。
また是非、利用したいです。

First private taxi tour. 初めての貸切タクシーツアー

Reviewed by: HIRO

This time, I booked a private taxi tour for the first time with three foreigners I brought from Canada. I chose a six-hour course, but it was just enough time to visit four to five famous spots in Kyoto. If I were to make a reservation next time, I feel that around eight hours would be recommended, considering the lunch time as well.

As for the driver, he had studied English well and provided thoughtful explanations at key tourist spots, as well as engaging small talk during the drive, which was considerate for the foreigners. The three foreigners were satisfied after the tour.

I also appreciate how he helped with taking photos at various scenic spots. This was my first time booking with Yasaka, and I could feel the high level of training among the staff. The six-hour duration allowed us to enjoy the tour comfortably and safely, which was the best part. I would definitely like to request this again next time.

今回は、カナダから連れてきた外国人３名と共に、初めての貸切タクシーツアーを申し込みました。
６時間というコースを選択したのですが、京都の名所を４－５ヶ所周るには、ギリギリ時間でした。次回予約するのであれば、昼食時間もありますので、８時間ぐらいがお勧めかと感じました。
運転手さんですが、しっかり英語を勉強されており、要所要所の観光名所での気の利いた説明及び移動中の雑談も、外国人が受け入れる話し方に気を使われ、しっかり対応頂き、ツアー後の外国人３名も満足しておりました。
また名所の周る度に、写真スポットでの撮影手伝いもサラって対応いただき感謝しております。今回初めてヤサカに申し込みを致しましたが、
社員の方への教育の高さも感じられ、６時間という時間が、楽しく・安心してツアーができたことが何より良かった点であります。
次回もぜひお願いしたいです。

The weather was favorable, making for a fun boat ride. The skills of the boatman were impressive, and he spoke cheerfully and casually, steering the boat according to my friend's wishes. It was enjoyable when the snack boat approached with its delicious smells. Unfortunately, I wanted to buy some mitarashi dango, but I couldn't since we had lunch plans right after... what a shame.

気候にも助けられて楽しい舟遊びとなりました。船頭の方の技術も確か
でしたし、明るく気さくに話してくれたり、友人の希望通りに舟を進めてくれたりしました。売店船が寄ってきたのもいい匂いがして楽しかったです。その後すぐにランチの予定があったので買えなかったがみたらし団子を買いたかった・・・残念。

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 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。

We spend 15 days in Japan and took many local tours from many different tour companies, this is by far the best we had.
Jun, our tour guide, a Japanese native with fluent english speaking, very punctual and organized and also gave us enough free time to explore our own. 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.
Very well organized, I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

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.

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.
