All Reviews for Bus Tours

I planned it.
They were very pleased.
Since the back seats don't get sunlight, I had my elderly grandmother sit there.
The children also enjoyed seeing Osaka Castle and said they felt good on the double-decker bus and would like to ride it again.

計画しました
とても喜ばれました
後ろの座席は陽が当たらないので高齢のおばあちゃんに座ってもらいました
子供達も大阪城が観れたことが楽しかったと 2階建てバスが気持ちよくてまた乗りたいとのことでした

I went on my first solo trip to Osaka.
The view from the high places was really great.
The guide was very approachable and left a good impression on me.
Next time, I want to take a different route.

大阪に初めて一人旅でいきました。
高い所から眺める景色はとてもよかったです。
ガイドのおねえさんもとてもひたしみやすくて、好感がもてました。
今度は違うルートで乗りたいと思っています。

Departing on the southern route at 3:40 PM!
I used this service after staying overnight in Osaka for work.

I didn't realize Osaka had so many attractions!
It's said to boast some of Japan's most famous temples, and in the Tennoji area, I visited Shitennoji, which was established by Prince Shotoku, the oldest in Japan.
From the bus, I learned about interesting alleys and features, so I'm looking forward to my next business trip!

On the way back, the bus used the highway, and I was impressed by the size of the concert hall. It was great to fully enjoy Osaka's incredible energy and culture.
When we got off the bus, the guide greeted us, and a spontaneous round of applause arose from the passengers, which was very moving.

I definitely want to use the northern route next time as well.

１５時40分発の南ルートで出発！
仕事で大阪に前泊しての利用でした。

大阪ってこんなに見所があったんですね！
日本で有数の寺院の数々を誇るそうで、天王寺地区では
日本最古の聖徳太子が建立した四天王寺がありました。
バスの中から、面白そうな横丁や特徴を教えてもらえたので、
次回の出張が楽しみに♪

バスは、帰りは高速道路を利用していましたが、音楽ホールの大きさに感心したりで、
大阪の偉大なエネルギーと文化を満喫出来たのが良かったです。
降車する時、ガイドさんが挨拶された時、車中から自然と感謝の拍手が湧き起り、それはとても感動的でした☆

また是非とも、北ルートも利用したいと思っております。

The time for sightseeing is too short. If possible, instead of one hour at Kiyomizu-dera, having one and a half hours might be more enjoyable. I hope improvements can be made.

観光する時間が短い過ぎるなどです。
出来れば、例、清水寺で1時間ではなく、出来れば、1時間30分があれば、楽しいかも知れません。
出来れば改善するようお願いします。

Walking through the streets of Osaka while listening to the explanations was a great experience, and I had a very enjoyable time. I would also like to participate in the southern route if I have the opportunity.

説明を聞きながら大阪の街の中を歩く事が、無かったので大変満足し楽しい時間を過ごせました。南ルートも機会が、あれば参加してみたいと思います。

This is a trip for a couple from the baby boomer generation. For this trip to Osaka, we wanted to add something different (fun) this time, and while browsing on my smartphone, I came across a red open bus! It's affordable in terms of time and cost. How indulgent of us to enjoy such a little trip while just sitting! Although we are from the countryside, I highly recommend this to those living in Osaka as well. It's completely different from a regular sightseeing bus. (It's a three-story open bus, you know! (^o^)) The bus guide interacts face-to-face with the customers! I felt curious about who was driving and where! Yes, the driver was safely operating the bus on the first floor. There were laughs and excitement! Our bus was full, probably because it was during Golden Week, creating a friendly atmosphere like a day-long bus tour.

Driving along the six lanes of Midosuji in a moving three-story bus felt so pleasant, especially for someone from the countryside like me. I was overwhelmed with emotion. The breeze was comfortable, and my husband, like a child, said he wanted to ride again! Me too! The bus guide was such a wonderful person that I wished we could take a photo together♪ The one-hour little trip was very satisfying!

Since we stayed in front of Osaka Station, we were lured by the night breeze and went to Ohatsu Tenjin, which we had been told about a few hours earlier. It was mostly young couples, but being a pair of old folks was nice too! As we exited Ohatsu Tenjin Street and looked ahead, we saw a familiar bright red open bus passing by us.

Wow! What a delightful coincidence to encounter the last Namba route red bus of the day (*^^*)

On May 4th at 15:40, to the customers of the Namba route little trip! Thank you for sharing such a fun time with us. m(__)m

団塊世代の夫婦旅行です。今回の大阪行き いつもと違う(楽しいこと)プラスしてみようと スマホ触っていて(赤色オープンバス)が 目に飛び込む！
時間的に料金的に お手軽。又座っていれば良いと言う 何てわがままなプチ旅行！私たちは地方組ですが 大阪に住んでる方にも これはお勧めものです。観光バスのたかさとは全く違います。(3階オープンバスですね(^o^)
バスガイドさんはお客様と対面式！
どこで誰が運転しているの？と 不思議な気持ち！
そうです 運転士さんは一階で安全運転に務めてくださっていました。笑い声 ！ ドキドキ感！
私たちのバスはゴールデンウィーク中のせいか満席で １日ご一緒するバスツアーのような和気あいあいムードでした。
御堂筋の6車線を、動く3階バス～同じ方向に並んで走る気持ちよさ
田舎者ですので 感無量でした。(o⌒∇⌒o)

風がここちよく 、主人は子供のように 又乗りたいと！私もね！
バスガイドさんが素敵な方だったので ご一緒に 写真ほしかったなぁ♪
一時間のプチ旅行は満足満足！

大阪駅前泊でしたので夜風に誘われ数時間前に教えていただいた お初天神に行きました。若いカップルばかりでしたが じじ ばばの二人つれもいいもんだ！
お初天神どうりを出て前をみたら 見覚えのある真っ赤なオープンバスが私たちのの横を通ってゆく

うわぁ～ 本日最後のなんばルート赤色バスと嬉しい偶然の出合い (*^^*)

5/4 15:40 なんばルートのプチ旅行のお客様！楽しい時間共有ありがとうございました。m(__)m

The guide was kind, polite, and we had a wonderful time that flew by. Of course, a nice day is great, but the sunlight felt a bit intense. I would love to enjoy another course someday.

ガイドの方は、優しく丁寧で楽しい時間をあっという間に過ごしました。
ただ、天気が良い日がもちろん良いのですが、少々日差しがきつい感じでした。
またいつか別コースを楽しみたいです。

I booked this to kill time until check-in at the hotel. For seeing a lot of places at once, a guided sightseeing bus is the best option, right? It was very informative and fun in a sightseeing mood. However, as noted in the precautions, it's a completely open-deck bus. Please keep that in mind during the summer or when the sun is strong.

ホテルへのチェックインまでの時間つぶしを兼ねて申し込みました
一気にいろんなところを見るにはガイド付きの観光バスが一番ですよね
なので　観光気分でとても為になったし楽しかったです
ですが　こちら注意事項にも書いてあるように完全オープンデッキバス☆
夏場や日差しの強い時期など　そのつもりで乗られますように

We participated with our family at the end of April, but it was quite cold due to the strong wind. I'm not sure if there were blankets available for rent, but I think we would have used them if there had been information about it. Although the top was open-air, I think glass walls would have been nice as well. However, with a polite guide, I believe it's a great value for those who are not familiar with Osaka city.

4月の終わりに家族で参加しましたが、風が結構強く吹いて寒かったです。ブランケットの貸し出しがあったかは定かではありませんが、案内があれば利用したかと思います。上は吹き出しでしたがガラス張りでもいいと思います。しかし丁寧なガイドもあって大阪市内に詳しくない人には値段も安く大満足だと思います。

This trip was brief but took in some major locations in a busy city where others ways would easily tire the most energetic traveller. A bit longer, and include Kobe would be great!

My parents from Nagasaki and my sister from Tokyo came to Osaka, and we participated in an open-deck bus tour for sightseeing. In the morning, we took the Namba route, and in the afternoon, we joined the Umeda route, which made us feel like we efficiently conquered all of Osaka in a short time. Both my parents and sister were very satisfied. I would definitely like to use this service again when I guide others around Osaka. Also, I want to ride the open-deck bus again!!

長崎の両親と東京の姉が来阪し、観光のため、オープンデッキバスツアーに参加させていただきました。午前はなんばルート、午後はうめだルートに参加し、短時間で効率的に大阪まるごと観光制覇できた気分になりました。両親も姉も大満足でした。大阪の観光案内をするときはまた是非利用させて頂きたいと思います。また、オープンデッキバス乗りたかばい！！

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I participated in a different course on the second day as well. I think it would be more convenient if the mobile confirmation for the voucher was accepted instead of having to print it out.

ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすくてよかったので2日目も別コースで参加した。バウチャーの印刷に手間取った携帯確認でokだともっと手軽だと思う

In Sendai dialect, "えがった" means "it was good."
In the morning, we boarded the Umeda course, and in the afternoon, the Namba course.
Since my wife can't walk much, she was happy to be able to enjoy sightseeing while sitting down.

仙台弁で「えがった」は、良かったと言うことです。
午前は梅田、午後は難波コースに搭乗しました。
妻はあまり歩けないので、座ったままで観光できたので
喜んでいました。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, the hour and a half flew by, and I had a great time. It was wonderful to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom while looking down at the streets of Osaka. The little children might have been a bit noisy and excited, but the guide listened to us, responded to our questions, and explained everything kindly and thoroughly. I was very satisfied!

あいにくの雨でしたが、1時間半があっという間で、楽しく過ごすことができました。桜のシーズンで、満開の桜を上から見ながら大阪の町並みを見るとことが出来て良かったです。小さい子供たちが、はしゃいでうるさかったかも知れませんが、ガイドさんも話を聞いてくれてて、受け答えしたり、親切丁寧に説明してくれて、とっても満足しました！

The weather was nice, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. I had a great time experiencing things I usually can't do. Thank you very much!

天気も良かったし、ガイドさんの説明もわかりやす、普段できない体験が出来て、とても楽しかったです♪ありがとうございました！

I spent a day at Universal Studios Japan (USJ) on a bus tour from Tochigi Prefecture, and on the next free day, I participated in a sightseeing tour of Kyoto with Shinki Bus.

I arrived at the meeting place an hour early in the morning. The guide was already waiting and kindly asked if I was there for the tour, which put me at ease. The bus was very noticeable with large letters spelling "LIMON" on a yellow background.

The first sightseeing spot, Fushimi Inari, was very crowded from the morning, but the guides, wearing yellow happi coats and holding flags, stood out well. The bus was equipped with USB jacks and Wi-Fi, which was helpful.

I thought it was nice to have many foreign participants this time.

栃木県から別のバスツアーで、USJで1日過ごし、次のフリー日に、神姫バスツアーで京都観光に参加。
　朝、1時間前に集合場所に到着した。すでにガイドさんも待機され、気さくに観光参加ですか？と声をかけられ、こちらも安心。
バスは、黄色の地に大きな文字でLIMONと書いてあり目立ちました。
　観光1箇所目の、伏見稲荷は、朝から大変混雑、しかし誘導は、黄色のはっぴに旗でやはり大変目立った。
バス車内は、USBジャックとWi-Fi装備で助かりました。
　外人さんの参加が、多くたまにはいいかなって、思いました。

The price was reasonable, the guide's explanations were very good, and the scenery from the bus was clearly visible. I was very satisfied, and the time flew by.

価格もお手頃で、ガイドさんの案内もとてもよ良く、バスからみる風景もよく見えて
とても満足であっという間に時間が過ぎました。

Thank you very much!
It was very efficient.
I couldn't have done it on my own. I recommend it for first-time visitors to Osaka.

ありがとうございました❗
とても効率的でした。
自力では、とても無理でした。初大阪には、オススメです。

After the tour departed, we received a call from a passenger who was late, and we waited at the meeting point in Namba. Although the regulations clearly state that this would be considered abandonment of the tour, perhaps due to the kindness of the tour guide, we waited for 27 minutes and started late.

There was no booing from the other passengers, including families with children, and the mood was quite pleasant as we set off. Many of the tour participants were foreigners, and languages like English and Tagalog were being spoken on the bus, creating an exotic atmosphere that felt like we were traveling abroad.

The three spots on the course had changed completely from my visit several decades ago, allowing for a refreshing sightseeing experience. Although the schedule became a bit tight to recover from the late start, there was no sense of urgency, and we had enough time to enjoy the sights.

However, on the way back, we encountered a major incident on the highway, resulting in a significant traffic jam. The tour guide was visibly stressed as the vehicle had another schedule to adhere to. I had reserved a Shinkansen ticket for two hours after the tour ended, but due to the delay, I had to run to catch the train at the platform, just making it to the rear boarding gate safely.

This will likely become a memorable part of my enjoyable trip. I rated my experience as "average" because while the delays in departure and return were not the travel company's fault, I believe that if the tour guide had checked the post-tour schedules of the current passengers and provided appropriate advice rather than focusing on adjusting the next tour, it could have earned a "highest" rating.

(Please understand that I am not criticizing the tour guide's response; I am simply sharing the perspective of a passenger who was anxiously checking the time on the bus.)

ツアー発車後乗り遅れた客から連絡、難波の集合場所で待機、規定では前途放棄とみなすと明記してあるも、添乗員さんの優しさか、待つこと27分、遅れてのスタートでした。
遅れてきた子供連れファミリーにブーイングもなく和やかなムードでの出発となりました。
ツアー客は外国人の方が多く、英語、タガログ語などが社内で飛び交い、エキゾチックな雰囲気でまるで外国旅行をしているようなムードでした。
コースの３スポットは数十年前の訪問時とは全くイメージが変わっており、新鮮な気持ちで観光できました。
遅れたスタートのスケジュール回復のため、若干タイトな行程となりましたが、時間的にはそんなに切迫感もなく、十分拝観することが出来ました。
ところが帰路ハップニング、高速道路で事故があっており、大渋滞に巻き込まれてしまいました。当該車両は次のスケジュールもあり添乗員さんはその対応に大変な様子でした。
私は少し余裕をみてツアー終了後2時間の新幹線を予約していましたが、ツアーの遅れで新幹線ホームで走りやっと後尾の乗降口でセーフとなりました。
これも楽しい旅の思い出になりそうです。
体験談での評価を「普通」とさせていただいたのは、出発遅れや帰着遅れは決して旅行会社のせいではありませんが、バスの次ツアーの調整よりも、現ツアー客のツアー後のスケジュールを確認し、適切なアドバイスを頂けたら「最高」の評価になったと思います。
（決して添乗員さんの対応を非難しているわけでなく、車内で時計をみながらやきもきしていた一乗客の意見として拝読いただければ幸甚です。）

It was cold~ >_<... But... the guide's thoughtfulness was great~~ ^^ The scenery was nice too... I really enjoyed my first time in Osaka (^.^)

寒かった～＞＜。。。
でも。。ガイドさんの。。。気遣いよかった～～～＾＾
景色も良かったし・・・初めての大阪・・・満喫(^.^)

The course was good, but depending on the day, there were changes in the weather due to the season. The response when the temperature dropped was not very satisfactory.

コースはよかったですが日によっては季節柄天候に変更があります。気温が下がったとき等の対応がいまいちでした。

I participated with my son. The weather was nice, the conversation was enjoyable, and it was very good. My son seemed to be in high spirits and was having fun. Thank you very much.

息子と２人で参加しました。天気も良く話も楽しくとても良かったです。息子のテンションが上がっていて楽しそうでした。ありがとうございました

I participated with my parents. Since it was rainy, traveling by bus was indeed convenient.
The lunch venue was closed for the holiday, so we had to change the restaurant, which also changed the course (there was no train travel). The tour guide mentioned this in English, but there was no mention of it in the Japanese explanation. I understood the course change since I speak English, but my parents were completely unaware due to the lack of explanation in Japanese, and they didn't find out about the cancellation of the train travel until we were on our way to Kinkaku-ji.
The importance of thoroughly communicating information seems to depend on the tour guide. I was a bit frustrated.

両親を連れて参加。雨模様だったのでバス移動はやはり便利でした。
昼食会場が休日だったためお店を変更、それに伴いコースも変更になりました（電車移動がなくなった）。添乗員さんの説明は英語ではそのことに触れていたのですが、日本語の説明では全く触れず。私は英語が分かるのでコース変更をわかっていましたが、両親は日本語での説明が無かったので全く知らず、電車の移動がなくなったことは金閣寺に向かう時まで知りませんでした。
情報の周知徹底をどの程度重要視するのか、添乗員さんによると思います。私は少しイライラしました。

It was midwinter, so I was worried about being cold and shivering when I made the reservation, but we were blessed with good weather on the day! I was happy to find that there were blankets and hand warmers available. I really enjoyed the sense of openness and the pleasant breeze while being able to look straight up, as well as the guide's explanations at key points. I think it would be nice if the seats were a bit wider. If I have the chance, I would like to try the other course as well!

真冬でしたので寒くて震えるのは嫌だな…と思いながら予約しましたが、当日は良い天気に恵まれました！膝掛けとカイロも用意してあり嬉しかったです。真上を見渡せる開放感と心地よい風、ガイドさんの要所要所の説明などとても楽しめました。座席がもう少し広いといいかなーと思います。機会があればもうひとつのコースも行ってみたいです!!

No one showed up at the check-in time of 3:30 PM, and the bus finally arrived just three minutes before 3:40 PM. During that time, I was exposed to the cold wind and felt very cold. If you can't stick to the check-in time, it's unacceptable. Before discussing the details of the tour, I had an unpleasant experience right from the start.

15時30分のチェックイン時刻に誰も現れず、15時４０分の3分前にやっとバスが現れて、そこでチェクインできましたが、その間寒風にさらされて大変寒い思いをしました。
チェックイン時刻を守れないのでは話になりません。ツアーの内容がどうのこうのという前に最初から嫌な思いをしました。

My mother and I used a course without meals departing from Osaka.

On the day we participated, about 20% of the participants were Japanese, while the others were from China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

At first, we considered using public transportation to visit the sightseeing spots on our own, but it was great to have a bus guide us, allowing us to see everything efficiently without getting lost.

We were able to take our time at the sightseeing locations without being rushed.

There are many stalls and shops at the tourist spots, so I recommend trying some snacks along the way with the no-meal course.

If the opportunity arises, I would like to participate in another tour.

母と二人で大阪発着のお食事無しのコースを利用しました。

私達が参加した日は日本人参加者が２割程度で、他の参加者は中国・韓国・台湾などでした。

最初は自分たちで公共交通機関を利用して観光地を巡ろうかと考えていましたが、バスで案内して頂いて観光出来るので迷うことなく効率的に見れたので良かったです。

観光場所でも時間に追われることなく、ゆっくりと見れました。

観光地では屋台やお店がたくさんあるので、お食事無しコースでちょこちょこ買い食いするのもオススメです。

また機会があれば、別のツアーにも参加してみたいです。

Our first trip to Kyoto as a couple was very enjoyable. Of course, the sightseeing spots were great, but the bus guide was also very accommodating, waiting at key points to actively take photos of us as a couple. Additionally, there were many travelers from abroad on the bus, which allowed us to experience the international flavor of Kyoto.

　夫婦で初めての京都旅行は、とても良かったです。観光地はもちろんですが、バスガイドさんの対応が良く、観光地のポイントポイントで待っていて下さり、夫婦での写真を積極的に撮っていただきました。
　また、バスの参加者には、外国からの旅行者もたくさんおり、国際色豊かな京都を実感できました。

The guidance from the professional Japanese guide was very thorough and interesting. Since we didn't have to get off the bus, we could overlook the bustling streets filled with Chinese tour groups from a high vantage point. We were able to check out Osaka's famous attractions without any stress.

プロの日本語ガイドさんの案内がとても充実していて面白かった。バスから降りなくていいので、中国人団体客でごった返す街を高いところから眺めてスルー。大阪っぽい名物をストレスなくぐるっと確認できる。

It was unfortunately rainy, but the roof on the second floor was closed, allowing us to comfortably participate in the tour! It was a bus tour where we listened to explanations and took photos. It was very enjoyable! ✩

生憎の雨でしたが、2階の屋根が閉められており、快適にツアーに参加することが出来ました!!
説明を聞きながら写真を撮りながらのバスツアー。とても楽しかったです✩

On the second day of our trip to Kobe, Kyoto, and Osaka with my wife, we joined this monitor tour. It was an exciting tour as it was my first time in Kyoto in 35 years since my school trip, and we were looking forward to visiting Kinkaku-ji. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but our tour guide, Honey, kept the microphone in hand and provided us with information about the sightseeing spots almost the entire time. It was really great.

Fushimi Inari Shrine was, as expected, very popular among foreigners and was crowded, but I was able to take the photos I wanted. Kiyomizu-dera was also quite busy, but we were able to see it smoothly. Kinkaku-ji, which I was most looking forward to, was rainy, but I took a lot of photos there as well.

Since transportation in Kyoto mainly relies on buses, this tour made it very easy to see everything. I would like to visit Kyoto again, so I will join a bus tour next time as well.

妻との神戸京都大阪旅行の、二日目にこのモニターツアーを組みました。35年ぶりの京都で修学旅行以来の金閣寺とのことで楽しみなツアーでしたが、あいにくの小雨模様でしたが、ツアコンの確かハニーさんが、ほとんどずっとマイク離さず状態で観光地の案内をしてくださいました。とつても良かっです。
伏見稲荷神社は、さすが外国人人気ナンバーワンだけあって、人だらけでしたが思いどおりの写真がとれました。
清水寺も、かなりいましたがスムーズにみれました。
一番楽しみな金閣寺も雨でしたが、写真もいっぱい撮りまくりました。
京都での移動は、路線バスが中心となりますので、このツアーは、大変楽に見ることができました。又京都は訪れてみたいので、次回も、バスツアーで回ります。
