Kyoto Sightseeing Full-Day Bus Tour from Osaka with English-Speaking Guide

Perfect Kyoto One Day Tour

Reviewed by: EABG

My partner and I really enjoyed this tour. It took us to places that took our breath away as we bounced from temple to temple and immersed ourselves in Japanese culture. The tour was carefully organised with an outline and maps of the longer parts of the tour. There is a phone number provided in case you get split up from the group. I advise goers to take note of these in case you are lost. A small thing I would like for the tour to add is an online contact option as majority of tourists I know only take up data SIM plans and would not be able to contact the local number provided.

The tour is packed to the brim with important places you would want to see in Kyoto in a day so understandably some parts can feel a bit rushed. However, I felt this is needed and balance was kept between the guided part of the tour and free time we can roam around ourselves. I definitely recommend people to take up this tour if you are short in time and want to see Kyoto. The tour guide was even flexible enough to let us remain at Kyoto after the tour finished so we can visit other places like the Gion district etc!

I was satisfied with the bus tour I booked this time. The tour guide was cheerful, and the bus driver was kind. I think it was great that we were able to visit many sightseeing spots, but I wish we had a bit more time. It felt like there wasn't much time to buy souvenirs leisurely. However, overall, compared to traveling alone using public transportation, it was stress-free, and I would like to use this service again next time.

今回は、バスツアーを予約して満足でした。
ツアーガイドさんも明るく、バスの運転士さんも親切でした。
観光名所をたくさん訪れる事が出来て良かったとは思いますが、時間にもう少し余裕があれば良かったと思います。お土産などをゆっくり買う時間はあまりなかった感じです。
でも、全体的には、個人で公共の交通機関を利用してまわることを考えたらストレスがなくて、次回も利用したいと思いました。

Reviewed by: ワタル

This time, I participated in a solo trip. It had been since my school trip that I visited Kyoto. For someone like me who has no sense of direction, I was able to efficiently visit the main tourist spots and truly enjoyed it. The sightseeing bus was completely different in terms of comfort and views compared to public transportation—it was fantastic! It seems that even with tourist traffic, we were prioritized and could move smoothly. The guide was a young girl, but she was very considerate of everyone and showed a great personality, working hard. This was also very soothing.

今回、一人旅で参加しました。
修学旅行以来の京都。土地勘の全く無い私にとって京都の主要観光地を、効率よく廻れてとても満喫出来ました。公共の乗り物より観光バスは、乗り心地と眺めが全然違いサイコーでした！観光地渋滞も、優先されてスムーズに行けるようです。
ガイドさんも、若い女の子でしたが、みんなに気配りが出来ていて、一生懸命に頑張っている、とても良いお人柄がにじみ出ていました。これも、癒されました。

It was very good! When I signed up, it mentioned that lunch would be a udon set meal, so I was expecting that, but it turned out to be tofu dishes. The restaurant was spacious, and I was able to enjoy my meal slowly and comfortably, so I'm glad I opted for the lunch option. However, I'm not a big fan of tofu, and the dishes served were mostly tofu, which became a bit monotonous (；▽；). But I was able to enjoy a meal that was characteristic of Kyoto, and this also became a memorable experience. Thank you very much! (^^)

とても良かったです！
申し込む際に、昼食はうどん定食と記載があったのでそのつもりだったが実際は豆腐料理だった。お店は広くてゆっくり、ゆったりと食事ができたので昼食付きにしておいてよかったと思った。しかし豆腐がそんなに好きではないし、出された料理が豆腐ばかりで飽きてしまった(；▽；)でも京都らしい食事が出来、これも思い出になりました。ありがとうございました(^^)

It was disappointing. 残念でした。

Reviewed by: くるみ

This time, my parents were traveling to Osaka, so I searched for a bus tour and signed up for this lunch plan. When I heard the story, they went to Kiyomizu Temple to make it in time for the departure, but there was no bus. They hurriedly called the office and were told that the bus was heading to Kinkaku-ji, so they had to take a taxi. When I asked other guests, they said that the bus left without confirming attendance 10 or 15 minutes before the meeting time.

I was really disappointed to hear that, especially since we were looking forward to it.

For future reference, it would be better to confirm attendance. This was the first time something like this happened, and it was especially frustrating since they weren't late. I can imagine they felt anxious without the bus.

今回、両親が大阪旅行するということで、バスツアーを捜してこちらの昼食つきプランを申し込みました。話を聞いたところ、清水寺で出発時間に間に合うように行ったのにバスがなかった、とあわてて事務所に電話すると金閣寺に向かってるから追いかけてくれ、と両親はタクシーを拾い向かったと云いました。ほかの客に聞いたところ、集合時間の１０分か１５分前に点呼確認もしないで出発したといいました。
せっかく楽しみにしてこちらもそんなことになったのかと思ったら大変だったし私も残念でした。

今後のためにも点呼はした方がいいです。そんなこと初めてです。それも時間に遅れていったわけではないのに。バスがなくて不安だったと思います。

I used the service on September 8. I was the only woman… the rest were mostly families or friends, and almost all were from overseas. I felt really lonely, but the tour guide talked to me, so I didn’t feel too lonely. I was very satisfied because we could visit all the must-see spots in Kyoto in one go. The tour itself involves taking a bus to the destination, and then everyone can explore freely, as long as they return by the bus departure time, so I think it's perfect for those who don’t want to travel in large groups. It was hot, and I got a bit exhausted, but I had a very fulfilling time. The tour guide also gave helpful advice on how to visit efficiently and see great places. If I go to Kyoto again, I would like to use this service. Next time, I’ll bring someone with me!

9月8日に利用しました。女1人は私だけ…あとは家族連れか友達とかほぼ海外の方で占めていました。すっごく心細かったのですが添乗員さんが話しかけて下さってあまり寂しい思いはしませんでした。京都と言えば！の所を一気に周れるので大満足でした。ツアー自体は目的地までバスで行って、あとは各々好きに行動してバスの出発時刻までには戻ってきて下さいというシステムなので大人数で行動するのが嫌だという方にもぴったりだと思います。暑さもあり、バテてしまいましたがとても充実した時間を過ごす事ができました。添乗員さんもこういう風に行くと効率がよくいい場所見れますよとアドバイス下さったので助かりました。また京都行くことあれば利用したいです。今度は誰かを連れて行きます笑

I used the service on August 2nd. Despite the scorching heat of 38 degrees in Kyoto, thanks to the staff, Takki (the handsome Takigawa) and the beautiful and kind Sakaguchi, I had a very comfortable time.

We were able to visit multiple places in a short time, and during the bus rides, we received enjoyable and informative explanations. When walking, they carefully checked on the delayed tour participants, and both Takki and Sakaguchi went back and forth several times, kindly checking in on everyone. I was truly moved by this genuine "omotenashi" (hospitality)!

I definitely want to use this service again. I am sincerely grateful to the wonderful staff.

８月２日に利用。京都は３８度の猛暑の中、スタッフのタッキーことイケメン滝川さんと、美人で優しい坂口さんのおかげで、とても快適な時間を過ごせました。
短時間で何箇所も回れ、バス移動の間には楽しく参考になる解説をしてもらえます。徒歩移動の際は、遅れたツアー客の様子をきちんと確認し、タッキーさんも坂口さんも何回も前後を行き来して優しく声をかけてくださいました。これこそ本物の「おもてなし」だと感激しました！
是非、また利用したいと思います。

When traveling individually, I was able to tour the area according to the planned schedule, which would be difficult to do in just one day. I chose a meal plan at Kiyomizu-dera, but I wished I had a bit more time to eat leisurely. The meal was tofu cuisine and very delicious, but it was "chilled tofu" due to the season. Personally, I would have preferred hot tofu, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, I was very satisfied and glad to have participated.

個人で移動すると、一日では周りきれない工程を予定どおりのスケジュールで観光できました。
清水寺で食事付きのプランにしたのですが、もう少しゆっくり食べる時間が欲しかったです。食事は、豆腐料理でとても美味しかったのですが、季節柄『冷やし豆腐』でした。個人的には湯豆腐が良かったので、それだけが少し残念でした。
全体的には非常に満足で、参加して良かったです。

I'm really glad I reserved this bus for my summer vacation trip from Hokkaido on a very hot day in August. If we had traveled on our own, it would have taken a long time to reach our destinations, and I don't think we could have visited all the places we wanted to in one day. Also, it was helpful to be able to sit on an air-conditioned bus during the hot weather. If we had used the subway or city buses, not being able to sit would have made us even more tired. The guide was also very kind, and we had a great time. Thanks to this, my child and I were able to enjoy a wonderful time together. Thank you!

北海道から夏休みの旅行にと、8月の大変暑い日に行ったので、こちらのバスを予約しておいて本当に良かったです。
自分たちで回っても目的地に着くまで時間がかかって、見たいところを一日で回ることはできなかったと思います。
また、暑かったので移動中にエアコンが効いているバスに必ず座れる、というのも助かりました。
地下鉄や市営のバスで移動していたら、座れなかったら疲れが倍増していたと思います。
ガイドさんもとても親切で、楽しかったです。
おかげで親子で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I wanted to tour Kyoto during Obon, but I thought there would be traffic and full parking lots with my car, so I signed up for this tour. We traveled as a family of five, and it was fantastic to smoothly visit Kyoto's iconic spots like Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. I don't think we could have covered all that in one day with our car.

With the bus tour, I was a bit concerned about the departure time, but I think the schedule allowed us to visit the sites almost optimally. The tour guide and the driver were friendly, making it a fun trip.

お盆に京都巡りをしたかったのですが、マイカーでは、駐車場と道路が渋滞と満車であると思い、このツアーを申し込みました。
家族5人で巡りましたが、京都の代表的な伏見稲荷、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山をスムーズに巡る事が出来て最高でした。マイカーでは、まず1日で巡れてないと思います。
バスツアーでは、出発時間が少し気にはなる所ですが、タイムスケジュールもほぼ最適に参拝出来たと思います。

It had been about 30 years since my middle school graduation trip, and I came to Kyoto again to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We had a full itinerary of places we wanted to visit, and we enjoyed a leisurely sightseeing experience together as a couple, creating wonderful memories of our trip to Kyoto. The guides were very friendly, checking in on everyone in the tour and engaging in conversation, which was great. The driver also kindly said, "Have a good time" and "Welcome back," making our sightseeing experience very pleasant.

I was foolish to sign up for the open-deck bus during an incredibly hot summer. They provided us with cooling patches, but that wasn't nearly enough to cope with the heat, and I couldn't hear any of the sightseeing information. As a result, the bus was nearly empty. I think spring or autumn would be a better time to participate.

This bus didn't mention anywhere that there was no first-floor seating! On a day when the maximum temperature was forecasted to be 37 degrees, riding on the second-floor open deck bus was tough! I won't ride again on such a hot day.

However, despite that, the guide kept talking for an hour, incorporating recent topics and doing their best. The driver also helped by stopping in the shade of trees or buildings while waiting at traffic signals, which was a relief.

I thought I wouldn't be able to last if it didn't end in an hour.

What country is this?! ここは　いったい　何処の国?!

Reviewed by: Simchan

I participated in a course with lunch included from Osaka, visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. The outside temperature that day was 32°C. Since I was traveling with my elderly mother, I thought it was a good plan to efficiently tour the sights while comfortably riding on the bus.

I was surprised that at first, we were the only Japanese people on the bus... The tour guide initially explained in English and later in Japanese. Once we arrived in Kyoto, it was quite challenging to find other Japanese people; almost everyone around us was a foreign tourist. I wondered what country we had come to! There were conversations in Chinese, Korean, English, and Spanish?!

I had heard in recent news that Kyoto was becoming quite crowded, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent. It was a bit too much, and I felt it detracted from enjoying the atmosphere of Kyoto. However, I was impressed by how the bus guides were proficient in English and provided additional guides for those who didn't understand English, ensuring everyone was well taken care of. Overall, it was a fairly enjoyable trip.

Kyoto Sightseeing Full-Day Bus Tour from Osaka with English-Speaking Guide

A good thing we added this tour in our itinerary.

Reviewed by: Diana

Our family stayed in Osaka for 4 days and we thought that this time being the end spring/start of summer season, we are definitely going to include Kyoto as part of our Japanese adventure.

We booked the Kyoto full day tour with Veltra and was able to meet with Jun at the designated meeting point. The meeting point was conveniently situated a 10 minutes walk from where we stayed at Hilton Osaka.

Jun was very well versed in the English language and explained our itinerary and places of interest clearly. We were given sufficient time at each places of interest to explore the place and took pictures.

However, because summer was upon us, there were a lot of people at the tourist attractions. Be prepared to jostle your way at the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shinto Shrin and the Bamboo Forest.

A lot of walking and guests with mobility difficulty may find this tour a bit demanding. Also not advisable for families with young children. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenage kids and even then, all four of us were tired out by the end of the day.

But hey, it was a worth day spent in Kyoto going to all the touristy places. We even thought perhaps next time we might explore Kyoto on our own at a slower pace.

For lunch, I initially booked a vegetarian option for our family as we are muslims and was pleasantly surprised that a halal lunch option was available. The place we went for lunch had a muslim friendly restaurant and the souvenir shop even had a corner selling halal certified souveniers.

At the end of the day, our family thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Kyoto and would definitely try out other tours with Veltra should we go to Japan again.

大阪市内観光バス 2階建オープンデッキバスで巡る名所の数々！ダイナミックな景観と季節の風を感じながら360度パノラマ観光！＜大阪駅発＞

First bus tour 初めてのバス観光

Reviewed by: へちゃりん

My siblings came from Tokyo and Chiba for my niece's wedding, and they wanted to do some sightseeing in Osaka. After considering various options, we decided on a two-story open-deck bus!

The weather was great, and riding the bus while enjoying the mist shower was very pleasant. We quickly passed by Midosuji, Shitennoji, Tsutenkaku, and Abeno Harukas in just an hour.

My siblings expressed their gratitude, saying they created wonderful memories. I've lived in Osaka for over 30 years, but this was my first time doing city sightseeing. The views from the deck of the double-decker bus felt very fresh everywhere we looked.

I heard that the scenery changes with the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—so I thought it would be nice to see Osaka in the autumn!

姪っ子の結婚式で東京や千葉から
兄弟が来ることになり、大阪観光を
したいとの事で、色々検討した結果
2階建オープンデッキバスを！

天気も良く、ミストシャワーを浴びながら走るバスは心地良く、御堂筋や四天王寺、通天閣、アベノハルカスなど、あっという間の1時間でした^_^

兄弟からは、とてもいい思い出ができたと感謝の言葉を頂きました。
私自身も大阪に30年余り住んでいますが、市内観光は初めてでした^_^
２階建バスのデッキからの市内の景色は、どこもとても新鮮に感じました^_^

春、夏、秋、冬の四季によっても違う景色か見れるとの事なので、秋の大阪を見てみたいなと思いました^_^
