All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The guide was kind. I could easily recognize them because they were wearing yellow clothing. The tourist spots were less crowded than I expected, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing thoroughly.

ガイドの方は親切でした。黄色の服を着ていたので直ぐに分かりました。
観光地は思ったよりも空いていて、たっぷりと観光が出来ました。

It was a great tour that allowed us to see a good amount of Kyoto in just one day. My spouse and I, along with my parents, participated as a group of four, and I think this tour would be very convenient for those who find it troublesome to arrange transportation like trains and buses on their own. The flow of the tour was smooth, and we were able to stick to the schedule without any delays, which was wonderful! I would love to join this tour again if the opportunity arises.

１日である程度の京都観光が出来てとてもいいツアーでした。
夫婦二人、両親二人の四人で参加しましたが自分で電車やバスなど移動手段の手配が面倒な方はきっとこのツアーがとても楽だと思います。
ツアーの流れもスムーズで遅れる事なく時間通りに行けてとても良かったです！
また機会があれば参加したいツアーです

We usually work as guides, so we thought it would be nice to be on the receiving end of a tour for a change! We participated in the tour with that mindset. Both the tour guide and the driver were friendly, which made for a really enjoyable time.

Aside from the two of us, everyone else was a traveler from abroad, and at first, we felt a bit out of place. However, the guidance in both English and Japanese was very educational. Traveling by bus was convenient, and we were able to try the food we were curious about and enjoy some drinks, which left us very satisfied!

私達は、普段案内する側の仕事なのでせっかく旅行するなら案内される側もいいのでは？っという思いでツアーに参加させて頂きました！
添乗員さんも運転手さんも気さくな方だったのですごく楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私達2人以外は外国からの旅行者さんで最初はとまどいましたが、英語での案内、日本語での案内として頂いて大変勉強になりました。
バスでの旅は移動が楽で、気になっていた食べ物も食べれてアルコールも飲めて大満足でした！

I visited with my high school daughter and 5-year-old son. Since we couldn't cover everything individually, I was glad to join the tour. About 90% of the participants were foreigners, but the explanations in both Japanese and English were easy to understand. It was a satisfying tour.

I was so moved when I rode it for the first time on Christmas 2018 that I invited my friends to join me on Christmas Day 2019. The weather was great, and I was perfectly prepared for the cold, but with hand warmers and blankets, I wasn't cold at all. Although it took quite a while due to traffic on the highway, I was able to slowly enjoy the most beautiful illuminated scenes that usually pass by in an instant. I was able to take great photos as well. Since it gets incredibly crowded when you actually go to Midosuji, I think viewing it from the bus is the best option. My friends loved it too, and I was glad I invited them. The couple sitting in front of me was incredibly moved.

２０１８年のクリスマスに初めて乗って感動したので、２０１９年のクリスマスの日には、友達を誘って参加しました。お天気もよく、防寒対策完璧で挑みましたが、カイロや毛布もあるので、ぜんぜん寒くなかったです。高速道路の渋滞でかなり時間がかかりましたが、本来なら、ほんの一瞬で通りすぎる、いちばん綺麗なライトアップシーンも、ゆっくり見れました。写真もバッチリ撮影できました。御堂筋に実際に行くとものすごい混雑なので、バスから見るのが、ベストだと思いました。
友達からも大好評で、誘って良かったと思いました。私の前の席の、御夫婦の大感激ぶりがすごかったです。

I was disappointed that Kiyomizu-dera was under exterior renovation. I was really looking forward to it, so I wish they would include notices about ongoing construction in the remarks section. I had heard that punctuality was important, but someone arrived late for the meeting time, which disrupted the tour. I hope that those who cannot be punctual will join by taxi or other means.

清水寺が外装工事をしていて、がっかり。すごく、楽しみにしていたので、備考欄等に工事中などの注意事項を記載して欲しい。時間厳守と聞いていたのに集合時間に遅れて来て、ツアーに支障をきたした。時間厳守できない人は、タクシー等で合流して欲しい。

During the New Year, I traveled for the first time. It was crowded, but they took plenty of time, allowing me to look around slowly. They also explained things in a way that was easy for foreigners to understand.

お正月、初めて旅行しました、人混みでしたが、時間をたくさん取ってくれて、ゆっくり見れました
外国の方にもわかりやすく説明してました

Of course, walking is a given for sightseeing, but until I got on the first bus, I walked a lot. It was like I was at the level of taking a taxi. My feet were sore. The tour guide was walking quickly, and I was desperately trying to keep up without losing sight of them. Somehow, the 5,000 yen felt expensive. I won't do this again. It's definitely better to go on my own using public transportation.

観光で歩くのは勿論当たり前ですが最初のバスに乗るまで、まぁ歩く歩く。タクシーに乗るレベルです。それで足はパンパン。添乗員は早足で、とっとと行くし見失わず追いつくのに必死。なんだか五千円が高く思えました。次はないです。公共交通機関で自分で行く方が断然マシです。

I rode both the North and South lines consecutively. It’s perfect for preliminary research when you don’t have a specific destination in mind. I used it in June, and rather than being open and airy, the sunlight was very hot. Be sure to prepare drinks in advance.

北・南、連続して乗りました。
目的地が定まっていない場合の下調べに丁度良いのでは。
6月に利用しましたが、開放的というより日差しがとても暑かったです。
事前に飲み物の用意を。

When I arrived at the meeting place and said my name, I was confirmed as Japanese. Even though I have a Japanese name... After a while, I realized there were participants from Indonesia and China; indeed, at first glance, you can't tell just by their faces and how they speak. There were only two Japanese people, a couple. After the Japanese part, the guide spoke in English, and it felt like I was in Japan but not really in Japan, and I enjoyed the tour. At the end in Arashiyama, the timing for the Shinkansen reservation was a bit tight, so we disbanded individually on-site, but it was fun.

集合場所に行って名前を言ったら日本人ですよねと確認されました。日本名なのに・・・としばらくしたらインドネシア、中国からの参加者なるほど顔と喋りだけじゃ一見わからん。日本人は２人夫婦だけでした∩^ω^∩。日本語の後に英語でガイド日本にいるが日本じゃない感じでツアー楽しめました。最後の嵐山では新幹線予約時間にビミョーだったので個別現地解散しましたが楽しかったです。

The illumination at Nakanoshima had ended, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. The bus made it hard to see due to the window frames. It seemed beautiful from the front, but I was seated in the middle (>_<). I lined up early for the seats, but they were predetermined. If I had taken the Hanshin Expressway to Harukas via the loop line, it might have been a bit more impressive.

中之島のライトアップが終わっていたので、物足りない感じでした。バスも窓枠が邪魔で見にくかった。正面からは綺麗そうだったが、座席は真ん中で(>_<)。座席も早く並んだが、予め決められていました。阪神高速も環状線でハルカスまで行けば少しは感動があったかも。

It was a trip for three generations of women—my mother, my daughter, and me. Thanks to our friendly and entertaining guide, our tour of Kyoto became a memorable experience. We were also able to have some interactions with fellow travelers from abroad, which was a valuable experience for my daughter.

母と娘と私、3代の女子旅でしたが、ガイドさんの気さくで楽しいお話のお陰で、とても思い出に残る京都巡りでした。一緒に回った海外の方ともちょっとした交流が出来て、娘にとっても貴重な体験でした。

Unfortunately, it was closed due to the rain, but the illumination was beautiful and we were able to see it from the Hanshin Expressway, which was very enjoyable. (＾＾)

あいにくの雨でオープンではありませんでしたがイルミネーションは
きれいで阪神高速の上からも見ることができてとても楽しめました（＾＾）

It was the best bus tour with a very friendly bilingual guide and a driver who was very polite in both driving and greetings! There were more than 80% foreign participants, which was a first-time experience for me, but the Japanese guests were seated together in the front row of the bus, and we were able to depart from each sightseeing spot without much delay, making it a comfortable experience. I definitely want to use this service again if I have the chance.

とても感じの良い、バイリンガルなガイドさんと、運転も挨拶もとても丁寧なドライバーさんで、最高のバスツアーでした！
外国人の方が8割以上で初めての経験でしたが、日本人はバスの前列に固めてくれて、各観光地の出発時間もさほど遅れることなく、快適に過ごすことができました。
是非また機会があったら利用したいです。

We participated as a family of five, and they covered all the places we wanted to see. The tour guide was also very kind. There were many foreign visitors, but we had no issues during our time.

家族五人で参加しましたが、見たいところ全てカバーしてくれ、添乗員さんも親切でした。
外国の方が多かったですが、特に問題なく過ごせました。

In Arashiyama, I requested to have a separate itinerary, and they were very flexible in accommodating that. Additionally, having guides who spoke both English and Japanese provided a great stimulus for my child who is studying English. Thank you very much.

嵐山では、別行動を希望したところ柔軟に対応していただけました。また、英語と日本語両方のガイドなので英語を勉強している子供にはよい刺激になりました。ありがとうございました。

This is my third time using this service. This time, I wanted to have a fun trip to Abeno Harukas, so I decided to use it for just one way. I live in Osaka, but the view of the city from the two-story bus with its open-air design felt special and different, and both the kids and my grandmother were delighted. The guide's explanations are always easy to understand and very informative. I will definitely use this service again.

利用させていただくのは3回目です。今回はハルカスに遊びに行くのにどうせなら楽しく行きたいと思い片道だけ利用させていただきました。大阪市内在住ですが、吹き抜けの２階建てバスから眺める大阪の景色はいつもと違う特別感があり子供達もおばあちゃんも喜んでいました。ガイドさんの説明もいつも分かりやすく勉強になる事も沢山。また利用させていただきます。

Since this is a tour that visits multiple popular tourist spots, the time spent at each location is short, leaving no time to leisurely shop for souvenirs. We had lunch at Kiyomizu-dera, but due to time constraints, we opted for a meal-free course and ate the bento we had bought at the station during the bus ride, allowing us more time for sightseeing.

For the bus-only course, we had to purchase the entrance fees ourselves, but it was straightforward and didn't take much time. Most souvenirs can be purchased at Kyoto Station, so if you're joining from there, I don't think it's necessary to buy them on-site. I anticipated the tight schedule, so I was generally satisfied. Also, if you're coming from Kyoto, you'll need to take a train to Fushimi Inari, so it's advisable to leave large luggage in a coin locker.

I left my travel bag in a locker to travel light, but I noticed some participants struggled with their suitcases. Since you walk a lot on the paths of shrines and temples, comfortable shoes like sneakers are best, especially in Arashiyama where there's a lot of walking. The long bus rides can cause your feet to swell, so wearing something a bit looser is just right.

It was busy, but I had fun visiting multiple places I wanted to see.

人気の観光地を複数を回るツアーなので1ヶ所の滞在時間は短くゆっくりお土産を見たりする時間はないです。
清水寺でランチタイムになるのですが時間がなくなるので食事なしコースにして予め駅で買っておいたお弁当をバスの移動中に食べて観光する時間にあてました。
バスのみコースは拝観料も自分で購入するのですが特に時間が取られることもなく買えました。お土産は殆ど京都駅で購入出来るので京都駅から参加される場合は現地で買う必要はないと思います。時間が厳しいのは予想していたので概ね満足しています。あと京都から参加される場合は伏見稲荷まで電車移動になるので大きな荷物はコインロッカーなどに預けた方がいいかと思います。
私は旅行バッグをロッカーに預けて身軽にして参加したのですが他の参加者さんでスーツケース持ったままで来られた方は大変そうでした。神社やお寺は参道を長く歩くのでスニーカーなど歩きやすい靴がベストです。特に嵐山は歩きます。バスなど乗り物に乗っている時間が長く足が浮腫むので少しゆるめで丁度良くなります。
忙しかったけど行きたかった場所に複数行けたので楽しかったです。

We used the Namba route for two days. We are a couple over 65 who traveled from Nagoya to Osaka to revisit the flavors of our memories. This is the Osaka where my husband spent time 40 years ago. While looking for something fun to do before dinner, we found this tour. Departing at 3:40 PM, it was about an hour of sightseeing. It was filled with familiar place names and scenes we had seen on TV, along with interesting information about their origins and guidance. The hour flew by in a flash. Excited, we walked through the bustling streets filled with people the next day. It turned out to be a lovely little trip. Thank you very much. Next time, we would like to try a different route.

2日なんばルートを利用しました。名古屋から思い出の味に逢おうと大阪に出かけた65歳を過ぎた夫婦です。40年前主人が過ごしていた大阪です。夕食までの空いた時間に楽しいことはないか？探していたところこのツアーを見つけました。15時40分発　1時間ほどの観光。聞き慣れた地名やテレビなどで見ていた景色　名前の由来や案内　ワクワクする情報満載でアッいう間の1時間でした。テンション上がった私達夫婦は　翌日　あの人であふれていた繁華街を歩きました。良いプチ旅になりました。ありがとうございました。今度は別のルートも行ってみたいなと。

The weather was wonderful, and the sightseeing bus with an open roof was great, enjoying the autumn leaves, the scenery, the pleasant breeze, and the sunshine.

お天気にも恵まれ、オープンルーフでバスでの観光は、紅葉と景色、心地よい風に日差し、とすべて良かったです。

I want to experience this activity again next year. The view of the Midosuji Illumination from the double-decker bus was very beautiful.

また来年も体験したいアクティビティですね。2階建てバスから観る御堂筋イルミネーションの景色は、とてもキレイでした。

Most of the tour participants were foreigners, so the tour guide was very proficient in English. To ensure that we, the Japanese participants, didn't get bored, they included jokes and used Kyoto dialect during the Japanese explanations, making it a very enjoyable tour. They also helped us create memories by informing us of good photo spots and taking pictures for us, for which we are very grateful. It was a tour that made me want to participate again. I hope to join again if the opportunity arises.

ツアーの参加者の大半が外国人だったため添乗員は英語が大変上手でした。そして日本人の我々がつまらなくならないよう日本語での案内の時は冗談や京都弁を交えていただきとても楽しいツアーでした。また、撮影スポットを事前に教えてくれたり、撮影してくれたりと思い出作りの面での手伝いもしてくれたのでとても感謝しています。また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。機会があればよろしくお願いします。

The tour guide walked at a fast pace.
The food was delicious, which was great.
The meeting place was vague.
I was confused because the tour guide didn't introduce themselves at the beginning, so I wasn't sure what to say when I needed help.

添乗員さんの歩くスピードが早かった。
ご飯は美味しくて良かった。
待ち合わせ場所があいまいだった。
最初に添乗員さんが自己紹介してなかったから困った時に何て声かければいいか迷った。

I participated on New Year's Day of 2020. I was aware that there would be a large crowd, but thanks to the guide's efficient handling and attentiveness, we had a great time. I joined with my parents and children, a total of six people. My parents seemed a bit tired, but it seems that the children (16 and 12 years old) made some wonderful memories.

令和２年元旦に参加しました。人出が多いのは承知の上でしたが、ガイドさんのてきぱきした対応と気配りで楽しく過ごせました。両親と子どもと6人で参加しました。さすがに両親は少し疲れた様子でしたが、子どもたち（16歳と12歳）にはとてもいい思い出になったようです。

A few days ago, I was worried about the rain forecast, but I was relieved that it didn't rain on the day. I took my three grandchildren with me. Even though there were empty seats, I wished we could have been seated in a more viewable area, even if it meant splitting into pairs. I was looking forward to the illumination on Midosuji Line, but I was disappointed that the city of Osaka was too bright. After the illumination, we rode the Ferris wheel at Hep Five, and the grandchildren were thrilled, feeling like they were on a field trip.

数日前から雨の予報で心配していたのですが、当日は雨も降らずホッとしました。
孫3人を連れて行きました。
空席があるのに、2人ずつ別れてでも、もっと観やすい場所にして欲しかったです。
御堂筋線のイルミネーションを楽しみにしていたのですが、大阪の街は明るすぎて残念・・・。
イルミの後、ヘップの観覧車に乗って孫達は遠足気分で喜んでいました。

It was just an ordinary landscape that I usually pass by, but since the bus slowed down, I was able to see it from a different perspective. Also, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, and there were many things I didn't know, which made me feel like a tourist even though I live in Osaka.

普段通りすぎるだけの風景でしたが、バスのスピードを落として走行してもらえたので、違った風景を見ることができました。
また、ガイドの説明も分かりやすく、知らないこともおおかったので、大阪に住んでいながら観光気分になりました。

The rain that I was worried about stopped, and I was able to fully enjoy the display of lights. I had brought a shawl, but I was also lent a blanket, which helped me keep warm, and I was very grateful for that. The illumination from the expressway loop was fantastic.

心配していた雨も上がり、光の競演を満喫することができました。カイロも持参していましたがひざ掛けも貸していただき、寒さしのぎもでき大変助かりました。高速環状線からのイルミネーションは最高でした。

I thought it would be cold, but blankets and heat packs were provided, so it wasn't that cold. The night view was beautiful, and it was great. We got on the highway, and it was quite an interesting experience to drive on the highway with the roof open.

寒いかと思っていましたが、毛布やカイロが用意されていてそんなに寒くありませんでした。
夜景もきれいでしたし良かったです。
途中高速に乗りますが、屋根が開いた状態で高速に乗るのもなかなかできない体験なので、面白かったです。

スタッフは温かいバッグと毛布を提供してくれましたが、英語のガイドツアーはありませんでした。美しい光る木々を見逃してしまいました...

staff gave warm bag and blanket, but no English Guided Tour, we miss the beautiful shine trees on high way...
