All Reviews for Bus Tours

I only had one day in Osaka, so I chose a tour that gave a quick overview of the city. Since it was just an hour long, I was able to visit specific places I wanted to see afterward.

The tour guide did a great job of introducing the highlights of Osaka.

大阪は1日しかなかったので、ぐるりとざっと大阪観光にと選んだツアーでした。１時間なので、この後に、ピンポイントで行きたい場所の観光ができました。

案内ガイドさんが上手に大阪の見所を紹介してくださいました。

I wonder if it would have been more fun if there were a few more people from Japan. However, the driver was kind, and the explanations were easy to understand, which was great. It would be helpful if the car had a phone charger. Even if you send photos, it's hard to open them. The car was too fast and it was scary. I was disappointed that it wasn't a bus.

日本の人が、もう少し多いと、楽しかったかなーと、、。
でも、運転手さんも親切だし、わかりやすい説明で、良かったです。車が、携帯の充電が、あると助かります。写真送ってくれても、中々開けれないです。
車が、速すぎて怖かったです。
バス🚌で、なくて残念でした。

They were very kind. The language was easy to understand, and during the photo-taking moments, I wished they would have taken a bit more time. The waiting area for transportation was also hard to find.

とても、親切でした。言葉も、わかりやすく、写真撮る場面、、もう少しゆっくりして欲しかったです。交通の待合室も、わかりにくいです。

I'm glad I was able to visit the famous tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. The bamboo grove in Arashiyama was beautiful, and I think I had a great experience as the tour guide took even more wonderful photos for me.

京都の有名観光地を一日で回れて良かったです。嵐山の竹林も素敵でしたが添乗員さんに更に素敵に写真を撮って頂きとても良い体験をして来たと思ってます

It was a simple, short bus tour without any sightseeing or experiences along the way, but I was able to feel the overall atmosphere of Osaka for the first time.

途中で見学とか体験などのないあっさりした短時間のバスツアーでしたが、初めての大阪の全体的な雰囲気を感じることが出来ました。

As an event for our group of four, I thought it might be interesting to explore the familiar streets of Osaka. It was fun to see the city from a higher perspective, as it changed the way I experienced the places I usually walk around. According to our guide, since it was an open-top tour, there was no air conditioning or heating. Fortunately, it was a cloudy day, which made it just right for the outing.

同期4人会のイベントとして、よく知ってる大阪の街を巡ってみたら面白いかも？で使ってみました。
いつも歩き回っている大阪の街が目線が高くなるだけで表情が変わり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんによるとオープントップなので、冷暖房が効かないとか。当日は曇り空だったので、ちょうど良かったです。

I participated alone. The tour guide was friendly and approachable, which made it enjoyable and educational.

You can have fun even if you're alone!

一人で参加しました。
添乗員の方が気兼ねなく話しかけて頂いて楽しかったですし、学びになりました。

一人でも楽しめますよ！

The smooth response from the guide, along with the accurate guidance and the guide's personal touch, was very good. Riding during a time when it wasn't too hot due to the cloudy weather, the view of Osaka Namba from the second floor through the roof was a refreshing experience. Next time, if the timing works out, I would like to try the Umeda route as well. Thank you for your assistance.

ガイドさんのスムーズな対応と、的確なガイドや、ガイドさんの好みを交えたガイドがとても良かったです。花曇りで暑くならない時間帯での乗車て、2Fでルーフ越しに観える大阪難波は、また新鮮な体験でした。今度は時間が合えばウメダルートにも乗ってみたいと思います。
お世話になりました。

Tour guide Mr. Mike narration is good.
The trip itinerary slip with brief details was missing.

The weather was perfect, making it the best for sightseeing! We were able to check out tourist spots while getting an overall view of Osaka, and we enjoyed seeing places we couldn't reach on foot from a distance! We really got to savor the sightseeing experience to the fullest! ♬

お天気に恵まれて観光には最高でした！
大阪の全体像を把握しながら観光場所を確認したり自分達の足で周ることができない所を遠目で見て楽しむことができました！
観光気分を最大に味わえました♬

I was able to visit all the main attractions in Kyoto in just one day, and it felt like a second school trip, which was really fun! The most memorable part was how heavy the "Omokaru Stone" was (laughs). This was my first time using this tour, and both my friends and I were very satisfied with how much we could enjoy Kyoto for this price. I also thought the tour guide was excellent in their hospitality, being considerate of both the foreign guests and the few Japanese participants. It was a very meaningful day. Thank you!

たった1日で京都のメインを全部回れて、二回目の修学旅行みたいですごく楽しかったです！
一番思い出に残ったのは｢おもかる石｣がガチで重かった(笑)
今回初めてこのツアーを利用させていただきましたが、この料金でこんなに京都を満喫でてき私も友達も大満足です。
添乗員の方も外国の方と私達少ない日本人、両方に気を使ってくれてホスピタリティーにも優れていると私は思いました。
とても有意義な1日でした。ありがとうございます。

I was initially worried because there were many people from overseas, but they made an effort to provide explanations in Japanese, and I had a great time. I was surprised by the large crowd, but I was satisfied that I could visit various places.

海外の方も多かったので初めは不安でしたが日本語の説明も頑張ってやっていただいて楽しい時間が過ごせました　人が多いのに驚きましたが色んな所に行けて満足です

I have visited Kyoto many times, but traveling alone can be challenging due to bus transfers and lack of research. However, with a tour like this, it's easy. For places I had visited before, I was allowed to explore freely, while I was guided to places I had never been. The guide entertained us with unique English as well.

何度も京都に来ていますが、個人だとバスの乗り継ぎやリサーチ不足で大変ですが、このようなツアーだと楽です。以前行ったことのある所は自由行動にしてもらい行ったことのない場所を案内してもらいました。ガイドさんもユニークな英語で楽しませてもらいました。

We were able to visit four places by bus, and lunch was included. Despite the cold, we were able to enjoy Kyoto comfortably and happily. Maria's guiding explanation was perfect! I plan to join another tour in June during the hydrangea season.

バスで4箇所も回れ、お昼付き。
寒い中寒さもしのげラクに楽しく京都をまわれました。マリアさんのガイド説明も完璧でした！また6月紫陽花時期に別のツアーに参加予定です。

I am from Osaka, and I participated.
It was amazing to see Osaka from a different perspective that I usually don't recognize.
Additionally, it was great in terms of cost performance.

おおさかの人間ですが、参加致しました。
ふだん認識している目線じゃない
違う目線で大阪を見渡せて最高でした。
加えてコスパ的にも最高でした。

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

I was able to efficiently visit Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji, Arashiyama, and Kiyomizu-dera all in one day, which I think would be quite difficult to manage on my own. The bus rides allowed me to rest during the transfers, which was a big help physically.

Most of the participants were foreigners, and many were in groups, but everyone adhered to the schedule and showed good manners, making it a comfortable experience. The guide primarily spoke English but also provided thorough explanations in Japanese for the Japanese participants.

Additionally, since I was the only one participating alone, the female staff member was very attentive and kindly approached me, saying, "I was looking for you to take a photo," which made me very happy. She was very kind.

Traveling alone allows for easy sightseeing, so I now want to utilize bus tours for my future travels. I highly recommend it.

女ひとりで参加しましたが、とても楽しめました。

伏見稲荷、金閣寺、嵐山、清水寺を1日で効率よく回ることができ、個人ではなかなか難しい行程だと思います。移動中はバスで休めるので、体力的にもかなり助かりました。

参加者は外国の方が多く、複数人で参加されている方がほとんどでしたが、皆さん時間やマナーをしっかり守っていて、安心して参加できました。ガイドは英語メインですが、日本人向けに日本語でも丁寧に説明してくださいます。

また、ひとり参加が私だけだったからか、スタッフの女性の方がとても気にかけてくださり、「写真を撮るから探していました」と声をかけてくださったのが嬉しかったです。とても親切でした。

ひとり旅でも気軽にたくさん観光できるので、これからはバスツアーを活用して旅行してみたいと思いました。とてもおすすめです。

I participated with my child, and both the crew members and the driver were very kind, which made me feel at ease. My husband's family also joined, and they said it was really great.

子連れで参加したんですが、搭乗員の方、ドライバーの方共にとても親切な対応で安心でした。旦那の家族も参加させていただいたんですが、とても良かったと言ってました。

There were no numbers for the meeting place or signs for the tour, and when I asked two staff members who seemed to be in charge of the bus, they had a cold attitude. I called the company, but they said it was not in use, and I couldn't make the call, so I waited until just before departure, feeling very anxious. However, at the last minute, I received a call from the bus staff, and I was able to participate. The staff member on the bus was a Taiwanese man who mentioned that his mother is Japanese. He was very friendly, and even though we were the only foreigners, he kindly followed up with us in Japanese. It was so much fun that I forgot about the unpleasant experience before the tour. I'm glad we had such a wonderful staff member. I hope the company will focus on training their staff.

集合場所の番号や、ツアーの目印看板が無く、それらしいバスの係員に、2件質問しても、冷たい態度だった。会社に電話したけど、使われてないと、電話も出来ず、発車ギリギリ迄待って
すごく不安だった。でも、ギリギリで、バスの係員から電話が有り、参加出来ました。参加したバスの係員の方は、台湾の男性の方で、お母さんが日本人だとおっしゃってました。とてもフレンドリーで、私達以外外国人だったけど、とても丁寧に、日本語でフォローしてくださいました。ツアー前の嫌な体験忘れる位、楽しかったです。とても素敵な係員さんで良かったです。　会社も係員さんの教育をお願いしたいです。

I was able to see the scenery from the front row. However, it seems like it would be hot in the middle of summer. Only the front row has a roof, but the breeze was nice, so it was good.

最前列で、景色見えました。でも真夏は暑そう
最前列だけ、屋根が有るけど、風邪は回って来て、良かった。

The roof of the double-decker bus was open, and since it was a sunny day, it felt great. I live in Osaka, but I usually just take the train, so the view of Osaka from the bus looked different from what I'm used to, and it was really nice. I want to ride it again. Thank you to the bus driver and the tour guide!

2階建てバスの天井が開いてるので、晴れの日だったし、気持ち良かったです。
私は、大阪在住なのですが、いつもは電車で通るだけなので、バスから見る大阪の景色はまた、いつもとは違って見えて、とても良かったです。
また、乗りたいと思ってます。
バスの運転手さん、バスガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

It was a tour for foreigners, but they provided proper interpretation in Japanese as well. Everyone kept to the promised time, and it was quiet on the bus, allowing us to fully enjoy the tour.

外国人向けのツアーでしたが、きちんと日本語でも通訳してくれました。
皆さん、約束の時間を守り、バスの中も静かでツアーを満喫することが出来ました。

I used it for the first time, and the explanations were easy to understand. I had a great time, and the hour flew by. I would like to use it again.

初めて利用したのですが、説明も分かりやすく、楽しく過ごすことができ1時間あっという間でした。また利用したいです。

I used this to go from Osaka Station to Temmabashi. The double-decker bus had a great view, and we were blessed with good weather, which made my mother happy as well. The guide's Osaka dialect was also nice. I got off partway, but I was satisfied. Thank you very much!!

大阪駅から天満橋方面に行くのに利用しました。高さのある2階建バスで見晴らしもよく、天気にも恵まれ、母も喜んでました。
ガイドさんの大阪弁も良かったです。
途中下車しましたが、満足です。
ありがとうございましたー！！

It was very convenient to be able to sightsee by bus, but I was disappointed that the lunch changed from "Kyoto tofu" to a buffet. Also, the meeting place in the morning was very crowded, and the tour guide arrived more than 10 minutes late, which made me anxious. Since we had to move to where the bus was parked, there were about two instances where we had to go back to pick up participants who arrived during the move, and several participants expressed that they were "looking for it" and "didn't know where to go."

バスで観光できるのは非常に便利でしたが、昼食の内容が「京豆腐」からブッフェに変更になったのは残念でした。また朝の集合場所は大変混雑しているなか、10分以上遅れて添乗員が来られたので不安でした。バスの停まっている場所に移動するので、移動中に来られた参加者を再度迎えにと言う繰り返しが2度ほどあって、参加者も「探してたーー」、「分からなかった」と言われてる方が何人かいました。

I was glad to efficiently visit the highlights of Osaka. Listening to the guide's stories deepened my understanding. I recommend this for those who want to know the city of Osaka but don't have much time.

大阪の見どころを効率よく回れて良かったです。ガイドさんのお話を伺うことで理解も深まります。あまり時間はないが大阪の街を知りたい人にお勧めです。

Thank you to the guide and driver. This was my first trip to Kyoto from Hokkaido. It was also the first time traveling with just my mother and daughter, and the guide's explanations and guidance to the places we wanted to visit were excellent. My mother, who is in her 80s, mentioned several times that although the bus tour involved quite a bit of travel, she didn't feel too tired and had a lot of fun. If there is another opportunity, I would love to participate again.

ガイドさん、ドライバーさんありがとうございました。
北海道から初めて京都旅行でした。
母娘二人の三人での旅行も初めてで、
行きたい所をガイドさんの説明も案内もとても良かったです。
80代の母も、バスでの1日ツアー移動距離は多少ありますが、あまり疲れなく楽しかったと何度も話しています。
また機会があれば参加させていただきます。

I've been sightseeing in Osaka quite a bit, but this was my first time on an open-deck bus. The guide's stories were fun and really informative! The weather was nice too, which was great.

大阪観光は色々と行ってるけどオープンデッキバス;🚌;は初めてでガイドの方のお話も楽しくて色々へ～ってためになった(笑)天気もよくて良かったです

I made a reservation for a plan that included both English and Japanese, but it felt like it was primarily in English.

When there was a mistake with the reservation for the parking at Kiyomizu Temple, the explanation of the situation was only in English, and I couldn't understand what was happening.

Given that this was a plan aimed at foreign visitors, I was told there was "no time to include Japanese," but I would have appreciated explanations in Japanese for essential details like the meeting time, meeting place, and any issues that arose.

Overall, I was satisfied with the places visited and the duration of the stay.

英語+日本語でのプランで予約をしましたが、英語が中心という印象でした。

清水寺の駐車場への予約のミスの際、状況の説明が英語のみで、何が起こってるのか分からなかった。

外国の方向けのプランという前提で、｢日本語を入れている時間がない｣と言われていましたが、集合時間や集合場所、トラブルに関する説明など、必要なことは日本語でも説明が欲しかったです。

訪問場所や滞在時間などはおおむね満足できる内容でした。

The guide's chatter was very easy to understand, and the hour flew by. The coordination with the driver was perfect! The view of Osaka from a high vantage point, which is rarely seen, seemed fresh even to the locals who joined us. It was especially great since there aren't many opportunities to visit areas like Teramachi and Yuhigaoka.

ガイドさんのおしゃべりがとても分かりやすくあっという間の一時間でした。
ドライバーさんとの連携もパーフェクト！
日頃見れない高い視点からの大阪の景色は、同行した地元出身の方にも新鮮だったようです。
寺町や夕日ケ丘辺りはなかなか行く機会がないので、特に良かったです。

We visited four main tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. Thank you to our tour guide, Maki, for your hard work. You spoke continuously in both Japanese and English, and I appreciate you accompanying us and providing explanations throughout the tour.

The detailed maps of each sightseeing location were easy to understand and very helpful.

There were many foreign visitors, but everyone gathered on time without any issues.

Thank you to our driver, Kanda, as well. It was a very enjoyable trip.

１日4カ所の京都メイン観光でした。添乗員のまきさんご苦労さまでした。、日本語、英語ひっきりなしに話していただき、しかも全部一緒に回ってくれて説明ありがとうございました。
それと各観光場所の詳細地図はわかりやすく、とても参考になりました。

外国の方も多かったけど
集合もみんな、時間にバッチシでした。

運転手のかんださんもお疲れ様でした。とても、楽しい旅になりました。
