All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The weather was nice, and the air was clear, which was great. There were also blankets and hot packs available, making it comfortable to spend time there. Although it's a route I usually take, I noticed some areas under construction or that had disappeared, which was a good experience. Next time, I would like to try a different route.

天気が良く空気が澄んでいて良かったです。毛布やホッカイロの配布もあり快適に過ごせました。普段通る道ですが、工事中だったり、いつのまにか消えていたり改めて気づくところもあり良い経験でした
今度は違うルートもいってみたいと思います

The deck seats were cold, but I think it's very convenient for sightseeing in Osaka. It would have been even better if there were options for departure times.

デッキ席は寒かったですが、大阪観光を一通りするのにはとても便利だと思います。
出発時間の選択肢があれば、もっと良かったです。

I enjoyed the Osaka illumination while riding a double-decker bus along Midosuji. They provided blankets and heating pads, so I didn't feel too cold. The elevated view allows you to see the illumination from a different perspective! I highly recommend experiencing it.

二階建てバスで御堂筋を走り大阪イルミネーションを堪能しました。
カイロや膝掛けも用意されており、あまり寒さは感じませんでした。
視界が高くなりますから違った感じでイルミネーションを見れますよ！
是非体験されて下さい。

The trip was very nice, well prepared and very exciting. Much more to know about Hiroshima and its history.

I took the train that departed at 7:20 PM on December 9th! The illumination was beautiful and breathtaking.

However, since it was cold due to the season, I understand the open ceiling, but I wish they would improve the heating inside the train.

12月9日19時20分発に乗りました！イルミネーションは綺麗で圧巻でした

ただ、時期的に寒いので、オープンの天井は仕方ないとして、車内の暖房をもっと工夫して欲しい。

I would have liked more detailed information in the guide. (I already know about the streets and buildings from my research, so interesting anecdotes and historical information would be great.)

案内をもう少し詳しくしてほしかった。

I thought it might be cold, so I dressed warmly, but I was grateful for the heating from below, the lap blankets, and the heat packs that were provided. I went with five friends, and everyone was impressed. We considered taking the next South Course, but unfortunately, there were no available rides that day, which was disappointing. In any case, it was definitely a fun hour.

寒いかなと思い、着込んでいったのですが、足元からの暖房や、膝掛け、カイロが用意されていて、有り難かったです。友達5人で利用しましたが、皆感激で、次の南コースも乗ろうかと思いましたが、あいにくその日は便がなく、残念でした。とにかく間違いなく楽しい1時間です。

I participated with my elderly parent (over 70 years old). It was fun to do city sightseeing from a double-decker bus at a high vantage point. It went by in a flash, but I was satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see everything.

高齢（70歳以上）の親と参加しました。2階建てバスで高いところから市内観光ができて楽しかったです。あっという間でしたが効率よく見れ満足でした。

Thank you for preparing the blankets and hand warmers, as it was cold on the day of the event. We were also blessed with nice weather and thoroughly enjoyed the feast of lights! (*´ω｀*)

参加日当日は寒かったですが、ひざ掛けとカイロを用意してくれてありがとうございました。
いい天気にも恵まれ、光の饗宴を満喫しました(*´ω｀*)

On the first day in Osaka, it was an exciting event before dinner! Each person received two blankets and one disposable hand warmer, so we didn't feel cold during the ride. My father, who is in his 80s, was very pleased that the guide's announcements were easy to hear. Thank you for your hospitality.

大阪一日目、夕食前のイベントとして盛り上がりました！
一人当たりブランケット2枚・使い捨てカイロ1個が付いていて、走行中も寒さを感じることはありませんでした。80歳代の父が、ガイドのアナウンスがとても聞きやすかったと喜んでいました。お世話になりました。

I really enjoyed running along the street decorated with illuminations while the guide explained various things. It was refreshing to view the streets from above while on the highway. It wasn't too cold, but I appreciated that the guide provided a blanket and gave us hand warmers.

イルミネーションをしてある通りを走りながら、ガイドさんが色々と説明してくれてとても楽しめました。
高速に乗って上から通りを眺められるのも新鮮でした。
そんなに寒くはなかったのですが、ガイドさんが膝掛けを渡してくださったりカイロをもらえたのもありがたかったです

I thought it would be cold, but that day it wasn't too bad and was quite comfortable. Plus, they provided a blanket and a heat pack, which was great. It went by in a flash, but I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much! ♥

寒いかと思いましたが、その日はそれ程でもなく快適でした
それに、ひざ掛けにカイロも装備してくれてたので良かったです。あっという間でしたが楽しく過ごせました。ありがとう♥ございました。

We took a tour visiting three main spots, and it was just my husband and I along with another young couple who were also Japanese, while the rest were from various countries. Kyoto was incredibly crowded even on a weekday. Instead of lining up in a single file from where we got off the bus to the site, we went in a scattered manner, making it challenging for the tour guide to ensure everyone was together. Our time at Fushimi Inari was short, so it felt a bit rushed. There were many stalls, and I wanted to try some street food, but since we had chosen a lunch course, I held back. We joked that next time we should go for a course without lunch, but the tofu course we had for lunch was so delicious that I was glad we ordered it... such a tough decision!

On the way back, it was evening, so there was traffic. Since we had a specific time for the Shinkansen and weren’t staying overnight, I was a bit anxious. We were dropped off partway and took the train back, making it with plenty of time to spare. I think it’s better to plan our travel considering such things for peace of mind. Both the tour guide and the driver were very pleasant, which was great. It was a quick bus tour, but it was very enjoyable and delicious. Thank you very much! (*^o^*)

主要3箇所を巡るツアー、私達夫婦ともう一組若いご夫婦だけが日本人(笑)で後は数カ国の人達。やはり京都は平日でも物凄い人だらけ。バスを降りた場所から現地まで一列に並んで行くわけではなくバラバラで添乗員さんは全員揃っているかの確認が大変そう。伏見稲荷の滞在時間は短いのでなんだか慌ただしかった。露店がいっぱいあり食べ歩きもしたかったがお昼を食べるコースにしていたので我慢した。次回は昼なしのコースがいいねと言いながらいざお昼の豆腐のコースはとっても美味しくてやっぱ
り頼んでいて良かったね…なんて難しい判断(笑)
帰りは夕方なのでやはり車の渋滞。その日は泊まりでなく新幹線の時間が決まっていたのでドキドキ。途中で降ろしてもらい電車で帰って余裕で時間に間に合った。そういうことも考慮して自分達の旅行プランをたてた方が安心していられると思った。添乗員さん、運転手さんは二人とも感じがよくて良かった。あっと言う間のバスツアーだったけれどとても楽しく美味しくいいツアーでした。ありがとうございました(*^o^*)

Due to the light rain, we moved to a covered area, but we were given a rough guide to the sightseeing spots. It helped me get a sense of the area, which was useful for my later exploration.

小雨のため、屋根付きになりましたが、ざっくり観光名所を案内して頂きました。
土地勘が解かり、その後の散策に役に立ちました。

This was my first time sightseeing in Osaka with my child. While I wanted to visit the famous spots, I was worried about getting lost and transferring trains. With this tour, even though we were on the bus, we were able to see the famous attractions. Since it was Saturday night, the crowds were overwhelming, and I was glad we chose the bus. Inside the bus, we were able to borrow blankets, and the guide provided timely information, making the sightseeing enjoyable.

子連れで初めて大阪観光、有名どころは行ってみたいものの、迷子や電車の乗り継ぎなどの不安が先立ちます。こちらのツアーなら、車内からではありますが、有名どころはおさえて観光できます。当日は土曜の夜だったので、人波が凄まじく、バスにして良かったと思いました。バス内では膝掛けの貸し出しや、ガイドさんのタイミング良い案内で楽しく観光出来ました。

I prepared myself and dressed warmly, but it was so cold that I couldn't fully enjoy the illuminations. Please consider better measures against the cold.

覚悟して厚着はして行ったのですが、寒くて寒くてイルミネーションを満喫できません
でした。
もっと寒さ対策を考慮して下さい。

The six members of the Fukuoka group, all 72 years old, enjoyed sightseeing in Osaka from the bus until the evening when the reunion started. I was very worried because the reservation page on the website showed that it was fully booked and we couldn't board, but the person in charge was very accommodating. Moreover, we were able to enjoy the sights from the front row seats with a great view. Classmates who had previously lived there and those with memories from school trips... especially Osaka Castle, which was magnificent even from a distance. The weather wasn't great after the typhoon, and it was disappointing that the scenery was cloudy, but we managed to arrive in Osaka and felt relieved to head to the reunion hotel. There were also many Asian tourists, similar to Fukuoka. Next time, I hope to ride on a day with good weather. I wished we had a little more time to take a group photo. I would also like to have a way to contact VELTRA by phone.

同窓会の始まる夕方までの間、大阪見物を全員が７２歳の福岡組６名は車上から楽しみました。ホームページの予約画面では満席で乗車できないとの事で大変心配いたしましたが、担当の方がとてもよく工面して下さいました。しかも最前列のよく見える席から観光できました。以前に住んでいたことがあるクラスメイト、修学旅行の思い出のあるクラスメイト・・・特に大阪城は遠くからでも雄大でやっぱり素敵でした。台風の通過後でお天気があまり良くなくて景色が曇り空で残念でしたがまずまず大阪入りを果たしホットして同窓会のホテルに向かうことができました。福岡もそうですがアジア系の観光客が目立ちました。
今度はお天気の良い日に乗りたいと思います。
集合写真を撮れる少々の時間が欲しかったと思います。
ベルトラさんと、電話での問い合わせ方法が欲しいと思います。

As someone with hearing difficulties, I would like subtitles to be provided. It was nice to see it from the double-decker bus. Thank you very much.

耳が不自由な私たち、字幕が付くようにし てほしいです。2階建てバスで観ると良かったです。ありがとうございました。

It was my first trip to Osaka, and I took a bus journey from Osaka to Kyoto. Most of the passengers were foreigners, and there were only two Japanese people, so I was a bit anxious at first. However, there was a guide speaking in Japanese, which made it feel like I was in a foreign country, and I had a great time. The places the guide recommended for souvenirs and tea were spot on. I would definitely like to use this service again on my next trip.

初めての大阪の旅行で大阪から京都のバスの旅でした。海外の方がほとんどで日本人は2人だけで最初は不安でしたが、日本語でのガイドもあり異国にいるような感覚でとても楽しかったです。ガイドの方の言われたたとおりにお土産の場所やお茶の場所とか教えていただいた所がバッチリでした。
また旅行の際は使いたいと思いました。

I was unsure about where to visit in Osaka, especially around Umeda. However, in just one hour, I discovered some places to see near Umeda. Of course, Osaka Castle is a must-see, but I also found out that there was an outdoor concert at Nakanoshima, so I decided to check it out. While it's fun to create a detailed travel plan with a guidebook, I was able to experience the excitement of choosing seasonal attractions.

大阪はどこを見たら良いか迷っていました。特に、梅田近辺を見物するのに。そこで、この1時間で梅田付近の見たいところを発見。もちろん、大阪城は外せませんが、中之島で屋外コンサートがあることが分かり行ってみることとしました。ガイドブックで細かく旅行プランを作るのも楽しいですが、旬な観光を選べる謳い文句を体験できました。

The weather was favorable, and the conditions were perfect. I wish I had a little more time. I thought it would be good to combine the Umeda route and the Namba route.

天気にも恵まれ、最高のコンディションでした。もう少し時間があればなと思いました。
うめだルートとなんばルートを合体させたルートでもよいと思いました。

Departing in a somewhat mysterious space among foreigners! Everyone was friendly, and it felt fresh, as if I were in another country. The driver and the guide were also very refreshing. The step platform for getting in and out of the car was appreciated. The explanations from Japanese to English made me feel like I understood a bit of English, which was quite an enjoyable experience.

外国人の方に混じって、ちょっと不思議な空間で出発！
皆さんフレンドリーで何処の国にいるのやら……新鮮でした。
運転手さんも、ガイドさんもとても新鮮でした。車の昇降にステップ台は有り難かったです。
日本語から英語での説明は英語がちょっと理解できた気がしてなかなか楽しい経験でした。

It was my second trip to Osaka after 10 years, and since I didn't know anything about the city, it was great to be able to see the town while listening to the guide's stories. A typhoon was approaching, but the bus had a roof, so we didn't get wet in the rain. I think it would have been tough to walk around in the rain for a long time, so it was nice to be able to tour the area in a short time by bus.

大阪は、10年ぶりの二度目の旅行でしたが、大阪について何も知らないので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながら、町を見ることができてよかったです。台風が来ていましたが、バスは屋根付きで雨にぬれずにすみました。雨の中、ずっと歩くのは大変だったと思うので、バスで短時間でまわることができたのはよかったです。

The guidance was very clear, and it was great.
It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and the bus roof couldn't be opened, but it turned out to be a nice sightseeing experience in Osaka.
Thank you very much.
Driver and guide, please take care of yourselves and keep up the good work.

案内がとても分かりやすくて、良かったです。
天気が悪くて、バスの屋根が開けられなくて残念でしたけど、いい大阪観光になりました。
ありがとうこざいました。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、お体に気を付けて頑張ってください。

It was a weather with occasional light rain, but the bus roof never closed, allowing for wonderful sightseeing with great visibility. Initially, I thought that the one-hour sightseeing time might be short, but considering the open-air conditions and the plan to head to Dotonbori afterward, it turned out to be just the right amount of time.

時折パラパラと小雨がちらつく天気でしたが、途中でバスの屋根が閉まることもなく、素晴しい視界での観光でした。当初は１時間という観光時間が短いかなと思いましたが、吹きさらしの状態であることや、観光後に道頓堀に廻る予定だったことあり、ちょうど良い時間でした。

At first, it drizzled, and we had to close the roof of the bus. The online information mentioned that "raincoats will be distributed in case of rain," so I was prepared for a tour in a raincoat based on the weather forecast, but I was glad to avoid getting wet from the cold rain. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't see tall buildings like Abeno Harukas and Tsutenkaku clearly. Still, I was satisfied with the tour as I was able to grasp an overview of Osaka and the one-hour duration was adhered to.

最初に雨がぱらついて、バスの屋根を閉めた観光になりました。WEBでの案内では「雨の際はカッパを配付する」とあったので、天気予報から雨ガッパでの観光を覚悟していたのですが、冷たい雨に濡れずにすんだのは良かったです。しかし、アベノハルカスや通天閣など高層建物が十分に見れなかったのは残念でした。それでも、大阪の概要をつかむことができたこと、１時間という所要時間が守られたことなどの点で満足のいく観光でした。

Of course, I've been to Osaka many times, but taking this bus allows you to see the landmarks all at once, and the explanations are thorough, so I was able to learn things I didn't know before. It's a meaningful way to spend your time when you have a little free time. I also continued to use the Umeda route, but I felt like the wait was a bit wasted since there was over an hour of downtime before my transfer. Most of the other passengers were also using both the Namba and Umeda courses, so it would be appreciated if you could minimize the waiting time between transfers. If I have time in Osaka, I plan to ride the same course repeatedly.

勿論大阪には何度も来ていますが、このバスに乗ると名所？をまとめて見られるし、解説が丁寧なので今まで知らなかったことも勉強できました。
ちょっと時間が出来た時に利用すると有意義に過ごせます。
うめだルートも続けて利用しましたが、乗り継ぎまでに１時間以上時間が空いたので待ち時間がもったいなかった感じです。
同乗した方もほとんど「なんば」「うめだ」両コースを利用していたので、乗り継ぎにあまり時間が空かないようにして頂くと有り難いです。
大阪で時間が出来たら例え同じコースでも繰り返し乗ろうと思います。

I met them through the PTA for my child, and this year marks our 20th anniversary. We gradually saved up for a two-day, one-night trip. Since it was my first time in Osaka, we decided to tour by bus. It was great! I thought it would be nice to ride again when the ginkgo trees change color!

子供のPTAで知り合い、今年で20周年をむかえ、少しずつ積み立てて、一泊２日の旅行でした。大阪は初めてだったので、とりあえず、バスで巡ることになりました。良かったです。銀杏が色ずく頃にまた乗れならいいなあ！と思いました。

I've been to Osaka several times, but I hadn't explored much, so I decided to take a ride. The weather was too nice and hot, but the cooling patches and mist helped ease it a bit. The vehicle slows down and stops at key points, so you can enjoy the view from the window quite a bit. I think it's a good way to see the general areas.

大阪には何度か来ていますが、あまり、あちこちに行ってなかったので、乗車してみました。
お天気が良すぎて暑かったのですが、冷えピタとミストで幾分か和らぎました。
要所要所で減速したり、停車してくれますので、車窓でも結構楽しめます。大体こんな感じという所を見て回るにはいいと思います。

I thought I could see Osaka Castle from the second floor of the bus, but I only got to see it a few times, mostly when we were between buildings or crossing intersections. Since the street trees hadn't shed their leaves, there were hardly any photo opportunities.

大阪城をバスの二階から見学出来ると思って乗車しましたが見れたのは数回でビルの間や交差点を横切る瞬間などと、街路樹が落葉してないのでシャッターチャンスはほとんどなかった。
