All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

On Children's Day, May 5th, I rode a double-decker bus for the first time. I came to Osaka from Kitakyushu for work 40 years ago, and the Umeda area has changed significantly. However, the flow of the Midosuji, Dojima, and the river has not changed, which brought back nostalgic memories. I will ride again if I have the opportunity.

５月５日こどもの日に２階建てバスに初めて乗りました。４０年前に大阪に北九州から就職で来ましたが、梅田の辺りは様変わりしてました。但し、御堂筋、堂島、川の流れは変わってなく懐かしく想いだしました。又機会あれば乗車します。

I participated with an American acquaintance who came to Japan for the first time. It was very crowded, but thanks to that, we were able to see everything efficiently, and my acquaintance was very happy. Thank you very much.

初めて日本に来たアメリカの知人とともに参加しました。激混みの中でしたが、おかげさまで効率よく見て回ることができ、知人もとても喜んでくれました。ありがとうございました。

A friend came to visit Osaka after a long time, so we stayed in the north and chose the southern route! It was great because we were able to explore efficiently, and despite the traffic, we ended up having a lot of fun. We also got off at Harukas along the way, and my friend was really happy about it.

友人が久しぶりに大阪に遊びに来てくれたので、北に宿泊したので南コースを選択！効率よく周れたのと、道が混んでたので、逆にたくさん楽しめて良かったです。途中ハルカスで下車も出来、友人もよろこんでくれました。

そのときの状況でうまく対応していました。ありがとうございました。また機会があれば利用したいです。

そのときのじょうきょうでうまくたいおうしていました。ありがとうのざおました。またきかあがあればりようしたいです。

The three must see places were wonderful. My family enjoyed the tour and our guides were excellent!

I participated from Hokkaido. Most of the participants were foreigners, but the guide, Mr. Yoshikawa, provided clear explanations and it was a lot of fun. The weather forecast predicted rain, but we didn't need to use umbrellas and were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. I definitely want to request another tour next time.

北海道から参加させていただきました。殆どが外国人でしたが添乗員の吉川さんの説明はわかりやすく大変楽しかったです。
天気予報は雨でしたが傘をさす必要もなく素晴らしい景色を堪能出来ました。
是非次回も他のツアーをお願いしたいです。

I signed up for a tour with my grandfather and mother. It was enjoyable to visit the sightseeing spots without walking around the city.

祖父と母と一緒にツアーに申し込みました。街中を歩かずに、観光名所を巡るのもそれはそれで楽しかったです

The traffic signals and signs overhead were exciting. The best part was how pleasant the highway drive felt. The guide was friendly, so I think it was a great experience that I won't forget!

信号とか看板が頭上でテンション上がりました。１番は高速が気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが感じ良かったのでいい経験で忘れないと思います！

I was disappointed that Kiyomizu Temple was under renovation. Other than that, everything was as I expected and there were no issues. However, I had assumed the pickup location was at the bus stop, thinking it was a bus from the beginning, and I waited at the bus stop at Kyoto Station. When the time came, I couldn't find the guide and started to panic. It would have been helpful if there was information available for participants coming from Kyoto about transferring to the bus at Fushimi by train.

清水寺が改修中で残念でした。後は、思っていた通りで問題なかったです。ただ、ピックアップ場所が、こちらの思い込みだったのですが、最初からバスだと思いバス停がわの京都駅で待っていて、時間になっても、案内の人が見つからなくて焦りました。京都からの参加者は、伏見まで電車で移動してバスに合流するのをどこかに掲載していてもらえたら良かったです。

It was a bus tour blessed with great weather and a sense of liberation. The highway on the way back felt like a roller coaster, an experience you can't have on your own. The guide's commentary had a local touch, making it very enjoyable.

天気に恵まれ、解放感溢れるバスツアーでした。
帰りの高速はジェットコースターのようで、個人では体験できないです。
ガイドさんの案内が、地元ならでは！という感じでとても楽しめました。

The open-deck bus tour was my first tour visiting Osaka, and we got to see the sights at a height where we could almost reach the signs. It was a short time, but I had a lot of fun.

オープンデッキバスツアー、大阪を訪ねて初めのツアー、看板に手が届きそうな高さより、スポット見学。短時間でしたが楽しかったです。

Out guide was wonderful, unfortunately there was a very old Indian man in our tour, so spent a lot of time just waiting around. Otherwise it was excellent.

We came to Osaka for a 2-night trip with our family of four (children in 5th grade and 1st year of high school).

On the first day, we went to the usual Universal Studios Japan. What should we do on the second day?

That's when we found this tour.

I was concerned about parking in Kyoto with our own car, so this was just perfect.

家族　4人（子供　小５　高１）で　２泊で大阪観光に来ました。

１日目は　お決まりの　ユニバーサルスタジオジャパン
２日目は　如何する？

その時に　見つけたのが　こちらのツアーでした。

京都観光は　マイカーでは　駐車場が大変と考えていたので

まさに　打ってつけでした。

The guide was seated in the back, providing information. I think it's better when the guide uses gestures and body language. When they speak from the back, it feels like listening to a recording, which lacks excitement.

ガイドさん後部席に座っての案内書でした。やはりガイドさんの身ぶり手振りもありのほうがいいと思います。後ろで話されても録音聞いているみたいで面白みがないと思います。

Very professional . I would chose only veltra tours in future .
V good service . Pick up n drop was given . It was lovely .tour guide was v good . V enjoyed it throughly .
Looking forward to join their all tours in future .
Miyajama was superb experience n also the Hiroshima experience was great .

The plan was to meet up with the group at Fushimi Inari Taisha after starting from Osaka, but I was the only participant starting from Kyoto Station, so I was lucky to hear a lot of stories before we met up. Compared to when I explored a few places on my own the day before, they pointed out must-see spots, and since we could freely explore at the destinations, I recommend this for those who want to efficiently visit famous places. Most of the participants were foreigners, and the guide's explanations were in both English and Japanese, so it was fun to listen and think about how much I could understand from the English explanations. Kyoto is a wonderful place, and there are still many places I want to visit. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different course.

大阪初のグループと伏見稲荷大社で合流するプランでしたが京都駅初の参加者は私一人で、合流するまでたくさん話が聞けてラッキーでした。前日に自分で何ヵ所か観光した時と比べると見所ポイントを教えてくれて行った先では自由に観光できるので有名どころを効率よく回りたい人にはおすすめです。外国人の方がほとんどでガイドさんの説明も英語と日本語なので英語の説明がどこまで理解できるかなんて思いながら聞くのも楽しかったです。京都は素敵な所でまだまだ行きたいところがたくさんあります。その時はまた他のコースのツアーに参加したいと思います。

On the day of my arrival, I started feeling unwell, and since it was two hours prior, I tried to cancel, but I couldn't do it at all. When I called Kintetsu, they told me to contact VELTRA. However, when I called VELTRA, I was directed to an automated voice response that instructed me to log into my account and proceed with the cancellation there. Even after logging in, I could only access the reservation page and couldn't cancel. In the end, I gave up.

Isn't there a better way to handle this?

当日、現地に到着したのですが体調が悪くなり、２時間前でしたのでキャンセルしよとしたのですが全くできなかった、近鉄に電話してもベルトラさんに問い合わせてくださいと言われ、ベルトラさんに電話しても音声案内が流れてマイページから入ってキャンセルの手続きを取れとの答え、マイページに入っても予約のページに入るだけでキャンセルできなかった、結局諦めました。
もう少し対応の仕方があるんじゃしのでしょうか。

We participated with three people while we were in Hokkaido for other business. Most of the attendees were inbound tourists, so there was no need for Japanese explanations, but the kind and accurate explanations made it very enjoyable for us.

The tour guide, Nao, was very attentive to the participants and provided explanations that were easy to understand. Her ability to appear anywhere, along with her dash and skip, was a big hit with my family.

I would be happy to meet again on another tour. It was a very enjoyable and memorable tour of Kyoto. Thank you very much.

北海道から用事のついでに３人で参加させて頂きました。インバウンドの方が大方で日本語の解説が必要ないくらいの状況でしたが、親切で的確に説明して頂きとても楽しませて頂きました。

添乗員のＮＡＯさんは参加者への気配り・説明共に非常に解りやすく、どこにでも神出鬼没　ダッシュからのスキップなどうちの家族には大受けでした。

又、どこかのツアーで会えたらうれしいです。とても楽しい記憶に残る京都ツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

It was fun.
It was a bit cold still, but the weather was nice, so the open deck felt great.
Although we were just looking around, it was enjoyable because it was guided.

楽しかったです。
ちょっとまだ寒かったけど、天気は良かったのでオープンデッキ、気持ち良かったです。
観て廻るだけなのですが、ガイド付きなので、楽しめます。

The bus was filled with foreigners. However, my daughter has an understanding of English and Japanese that is about the same, so it was great that there were explanations in both languages. Moreover, being able to see this amount in one day is something only a tour can offer. If I were to go on my own, I think I would probably be limited to two places at most.

We walked a lot, but it was a fun sightseeing experience. I am very satisfied. The guide took our photos, and they turned out really well. We have some great family pictures as a keepsake. Thank you for your help. I would like to participate again.

バスの中は外国人の方ばかりでした。が、うちの娘は英語と日本語が同じくらいの理解度なので、英語と日本語の両方で説明があるのが良かったです。しかも１日でこの量、観光できるのはツアーならではです。自分で行こうと思うと多分２箇所が限界だと思います。
とっても歩きましたが、楽しい観光でした。大満足です。ガイドさんが写真を撮って下さいましたが、またこれがとっても上手で。家族のいい写真が記念になりました。お世話になりました。また参加したいです。

From 15:40 on March 5th, it was quite warm during the day, but by that evening, it was still a bit chilly. However, the blanket service was very helpful. It was very comfortable, and the time flew by; I wished I could have stayed on for another hour.

3/5の15:40からで、昼間は結構暖かかったのですが、夕方のその時間になったら、まだ少し肌寒かったですが、ブランケットのサービスがありとても助かりました。とても気持ちよくて時間があっという間、あと一時間くらい乗っていたかったです。

Out of a total of 44 participants, there were only two Japanese people. The explanations were primarily in English, followed by Japanese. This was not a source of dissatisfaction; rather, since the Japanese participants spoke English, it was not difficult to understand, and it also served as a good opportunity to study English. Although it was a tour of Kyoto, it had a strong sense of being in a foreign place, making for a fun and strange experience. The highlights were well covered, and the Japanese cuisine course for lunch was interesting for the international guests, as they didn't know how to eat it and were watching how my husband and I did.

全体の参加者が44名の中で日本人は二人だけ。基本は英語の説明があってそのあと日本語で。これが不満という事はなく、むしろ日本人が話す英語なので理解は難しくなく英語の勉強にもなりました。京都のツアーながらアウェイ感満載で不思議な感覚の楽しいツアーとなりました。見所はキチンと押さえていてお昼の日本料理コースは海外の方からすると食べ方が解らず、私たち夫婦の食べ方を見ながらという面白い光景もありました。

The tour takes the tourist to great places (not to be missed) around Kyoto, and the overall experience was good.
Personnel was courteous. The included lunch (Japanese) was a very nice experience with typical Japanese food to enjoy.

However, we felt as though we had to enjoy the sites on our own, which is okay, since having some free time to wander around the site is necessary; but the balance with information about the site (and history) and free time was not as we would expect, hence it did feel superficial, and the tour seemed more like being taken to the great places of Kyoto rather than being guided.

I signed up for a tour of Osaka on the recommendation of a friend. There were only the two of us participating. It was probably because of the season that it was so few. The guide, even though he had a cold, explained everything earnestly. After it was over, he took pictures for us. Next time, I want to do it during a warmer season.

初めての　大阪観光で　友人に勧められて申し込みしました。
参加者は私たちだけでした。
この時期なので、少なかったんでしょうね。
ガイドさんも　風邪ひいていたのに　一生懸命説明してくれました。
終わった後に　写真を撮ってくれました。
今度は　もう少し暖かい時期にしたいです。

I usually drive a minivan, so I don't get to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, but being on the open deck at a high position felt great. The signs were close by, and the highway was enjoyable as well. It was fun to see the night view from angles I usually can't, both from the side and above. The guide's explanations were easy to understand. Since it's this time of year, I was prepared for the cold and dressed warmly, so it didn't bother me at all. The blanket and heat pack service was also appreciated. I felt that the tour price was a good deal.

普段はワンボックスカーを運転している側で、あまりゆっくり景色を見れないので高い位置でのオープンデッキは気持ちよかったです。
看板が近かった～高速道路も気持ちよかったです。夜景も横から上から普段見れない所から見る事ができて楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすかったです。
この時期なので寒いのは覚悟していたし、防寒ばっちりして行ったので気になりませんでした(^^♪ブランケットとカイロのサービスもありがたかったです。このツアー料金はお得だと感じました。

I had originally made a reservation for the 8 PM slot, but I was able to change it to the 7 PM slot because there was availability. The city of Osaka was crowded due to the three-day weekend before Christmas, but it was really nice to enjoy the night view slowly from the bus! It was wonderful to see the night view not only from Midosuji but also from the highway.

予約をしたのが20時の回でしたが、19時の回に空きが出たからと変更してもらえました。クリスマス前の三連休で、大阪の街は混雑していましたが、バスの上からゆっくり夜景が見られてとっても良かったです!
御堂筋だけでなく、高速道路からも夜景が見れて素敵でした。

The course returns to Umeda, but I believe it would be much more worthwhile to set it up so that passengers can get off at Abeno Harukas for sightseeing, which would also be appreciated as part of the bus company's programming.

梅田へUターンするコースですが、あべのハルカスで下車して観光できるように、セットした方が断然、見応えもあり、バス会社のプログラミングとして評価されると考える。

I had been to Kyoto several times before, but this time I wanted to do some serious sightseeing, so I signed up for a tour.

First of all, my honest impression is that it was a very satisfying tour. We visited four famous spots in one day, which was a bit physically demanding, but I was aware of that when I joined, so I have no complaints. The time spent at each location was just right—not too long and not too short.

Our tour guide, Shimizu, was very kind and attentive, making sure to accommodate us Japanese participants among the foreign tourists.

Although the participants were mostly foreign tourists, surprisingly, they were punctual and smiled a lot. We enjoyed taking photos of each other and had fun conversations.

I recommend this tour for those who want to explore Kyoto thoroughly in one day and enjoy seeing the city with foreigners.

何度か行ったことのある京都でしたが、今回はガッツリ観光がしたかったので申し込みました。

まず率直な感想としては大満足なツアーになりました。
有名どころの4ヶ所を1日で周ったので体力的に少し大変な部分もありましたが、それも承知の上での参加だったので不満はありません。
ひとつひとつの場所も長すぎず短すぎず丁度良い滞在時間でした。

添乗員の清水さんも外国人観光客ばかりのなか、日本人の自分達にも心地よく親切丁寧に対応して頂きました。

参加者は外国人観光客ばかりでしたが、失礼ながら意外にも集合時間も守るし笑顔も多くお互いに写真を撮りあったら会話も楽しかったです。

ガッツリ1日で京都を周りたい方、外国人と楽しく京都を見て周りたい方にオススメのツアーです。

On a nearly full bus with foreigners, I was the only Japanese person, but the tour guide was considerate and provided guidance in both English and Japanese.

I live in Nagoya and don't know much about Kyoto, but when my foreign friend came to Japan and expressed a desire to visit Kyoto, I searched for a course to help us navigate. We were able to visit various places, and my friend was very satisfied, which was great. I recommend it!

ほぼ満席のバスで外国人の中、私1人が日本人でしたが、添乗員さんは気を使ってくれて、英語と日本語で案内してくれました。

自分が名古屋に住んでいて京都の事はよくわからないのに、外国人の友達が日本に来て、京都にいきたいと言われ、どうやって回ろうか考えていた時に探したコースです。
いろいろ場所にいけて、友達も満足してくれてとても良かったです。
おすすめします

It was a nice day since it wasn't too cold, but when it's cold, my face... freezes. Overall, I was satisfied. It would be even better once the illuminations at Nakanoshima start! Since this was a preliminary visit, I plan to join my friends.

それほど寒くない日だったので良かったですが、寒いと顔が…凍る。
全体的には満足しました。中之島のイルミネーションが始まれば　もっと良いでしょう！下見だったので友人達と参加しようと思っています。
