All Reviews for Bus Tours

I had a really great time. The tour guide was very kind, and while the walking was a bit fast, I understand it was necessary due to the crowds. However, I did get tired at the end in Arashiyama, and it was quite challenging for me to reach the bamboo grove (partly because it was hot...). I think it would be even better if we could split into two groups near the parking area: one for shopping and the other for exploring the bamboo grove. Thank you for your help. I would like to join a different tour again. Thank you, Maria!

　　本当に楽しかったです。添乗員の方がとても優しくて、
歩くのは、ちょっと早いですが、人込みですしいたしかたないかと・・・
ただ、流石に最後の嵐山では疲れてしまい、竹林まで行くのが
私は大変で、（暑かったのもありますが・・・）
到着した駐車場付近でショッピングする方と竹林探索する方と
分けて頂けると、更にいいかと思います。
お世話になりました。
また、違うツアーに参加したいです。マリアさんありがとー

It was a very enjoyable route that covered everything in one day. If I had to move around on my own, I would have been too tired to enjoy it. The English guide was easy to understand, and they also included explanations in Japanese, which made it a lot of fun.

一日で回れて、ちゃんとポイントを押さえたルートなので、とても楽しかった。
自力での移動だったら、疲れ過ぎて楽しめない。
英語ガイドもわかりやすくて、日本語での説明も入れてくれるので、とても楽しめました。

I think three spots are the best. There isn't enough time to sit and relax. However, if you're looking for the highlights, I think it's a good tour.

各箇所、3カ所がベストかと思われる。座ってゆっくりする時間がない。ただ、いいとこ取りなら、いいツアーだとおもう。

The guide's explanations were really articulate and enjoyable. It was my first time on a double-decker sightseeing bus with a sunroof, and the perspective was different from usual. Thank you very much.

ガイドを担当された方の説明が本当に滑舌も良く楽しかったです。サンルーフで初めての二階建て観光バスでいつもと視点が違ってました。ありがとうございました。

The railroad crossing in front of Fushimi Inari Taisha was closed for over 30 minutes due to a JR issue, which disrupted our itinerary. However, aside from that, it was an enjoyable trip. If it weren't for the trouble, we might have had a bit more time to proceed with the other parts of our schedule. That was beyond our control, though. There were both foreigners and Japanese people, so the guide provided information in both English and Japanese. The guide was Japanese.

伏見稲荷大社前の踏切がJRのトラブルにより30分以上閉じた状態が続き、旅程通りに進めることができなかったがそれを除き、楽しい旅行となりました。
トラブルさえなければもう少し時間に余裕を持って他の工程を進めることができたのかもしれません。
それは不可抗力ですが。
外国人、日本人どちらもいたのでガイドさんは英語と日本語でガイドしていました。
ガイドさんは日本人でした。

I'm glad I was able to see the sights in a limited amount of time. The views of Osaka Castle from various angles were particularly nice. The people walking by were friendly and even waved at me.

It was still quite hot for the season.

名所を限られた時間で見ることができて良かったです。特に色々な角度からの大阪城が良かったです。
歩いてる人も手を振ってくれたりフレンドリーでした。

まだ季節的に暑かったのです。

Since we walk a lot, we appreciated being looked after and having someone check on us multiple times. Although we were the only ones from Japan, we were able to participate enjoyably.

歩くことが多いので、気にかけてもらって何度も声をかけていただきました。我々以外海外の方でしたが、楽しく参加できました。

Running above ground helped me understand the geography of Osaka better than the subway. I also found the bus guide's explanations enjoyable, filled with the essence of Osaka.

地上を走るので地下鉄より大阪の地理感が
わかってよかった
バスガイドの説明も楽しく大阪色が溢れていたと思う

We used it with three people when we came to the Expo from Fukuoka. It was great to learn about the good things in Osaka all at once. I recommended it to my friends as well.

福岡から万博に来た時に3人で利用しました
大阪の良いところをざーと教えてもらえて良かったです

In the morning, we gathered near the sightseeing bus stop in Namba at 9 AM. About 70% of the participants were foreigners, while around 30% were Japanese. It was helpful that the guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese about the places we were going to visit.

The great thing about this tour is that it takes you directly to the sightseeing spots in Kyoto by bus. I found it helpful since I had a poor sense of geography. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tofu meal in Kyoto and was very satisfied.

朝、9時になんばの観光バス乗り場近くに集合しました。外国の方が7割、日本の方は3割くらいだったかと。バス内ではこれから訪れる場所について英語と日本語で説明してくださり助かりました。
このツアーの良い点は、京都の観光名所にピンポイントでバスで連れて行ってくれることです。地理的な感覚が乏しかったので助かりました。京都の豆腐御膳も堪能して大満足でした。

The travel was challenging, but it was fun. The tour guide was amazing!! They were very polite and explained everything clearly, even to us Japanese people, so we were satisfied. They also took a lot of photos, which became great memories.

移動は大変でしたが、楽しかったです。
添乗員さんがすごい！！日本人の私たちにも丁寧にわかりやすく対応してくださったので満足です。写真もいっぱいとってくださり、思い出になりました。

The open bus offers a fantastic view. The guide's explanations were very clear and helpful. I would like to experience other courses as well.

オープンバスなので見晴らしが最高です。ガイドさんの案内も大変分かりやすくて良かったです。他のコースも体験したいと思います。

The guide provided very clear announcements and was very attentive in introducing Osaka souvenirs, which was great. We were able to see various famous spots in Osaka within an hour. However, regarding the meeting point, when I showed the voucher to the staff at Osaka Station and the luggage storage, they didn't know where it was. It would be helpful if you could add clearer directions for that.

ガイドさんはとても分かりやすいアナウンスで、大阪土産の紹介などもとても丁寧に対応下さり良かったです。
1時間で大阪の色々な名所も観る事が出来ました。
ひとつ、集合場所ですが、地下鉄大阪駅でバウチャーを見せ駅員や荷物預かりの人に伺っても分からないとの事でもう少し分かりやすく案内を足していただけると助かるかと思いました。

During my solo trip to Osaka, I found myself with some free time in the morning, so I decided to take a ride on the open-deck bus at Osaka Sky Vista, which I had been curious about for a while. The weather was great, a bit hot, but the breeze was pleasant, making it a comfortable experience. The guide was also very engaging, mixing in timely topics, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable hour.

大阪の一人旅で午前中の予定が空いてしまって、それならば以前から気になっていた大阪スカイビスタのオープンデッキバスに乗ってみようと思いました。お天気にも恵まれ、少し暑い位でしたが、風も心地良く快適に過ごせました。ガイドのお姉さんもタイムリーな話題も豊富に織り混ぜて、とても楽しい1時間でした。

I participated in a bus tour because I wanted to visit various sightseeing spots in Kyoto for the first time. It was the right choice since they take you by bus, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. There were about equal numbers of foreign and Japanese tourists participating. The explanations were clear in both English and Japanese, so I had no trouble understanding. The guide, Maria, was very kind, and I would like to request her again if I have the opportunity.

初めての京都で色んな観光地をまわりたくバスツアーに参加しました。バスで連れて行ってくれるので交通手段の心配はなく正解でした。外国人観光客の方と日本人観光客と半々程度の参加とのことでした。英語と日本語で分かりやすく説明して頂き困る事はありませんでした。ガイドのマリアさんはとても親切な方で又、機会があればお願いしたいです。

The view from the front row was great, but sometimes the mist didn't reach the very front, so it was hot. I thought it was hot, but the mist did reach the seats from the second row back, so I felt that sitting further back would have been better. I also wished they could have released some mist from the gap in the front windshield.

一番前の席で眺めは良かったのですが時々吹くミストが一番前には吹いてこないので暑かったです。暑いとは思っていましたが2列目以降にはミストが行くので後の方の席が良かったと思った。一番前もフロントガラスに隙間があるのでそこからも出して欲しかった

It was an easy-to-understand tour with a lot of information. Both my husband and I had a wonderful trip to Kyoto. Thank you! 😊

色々と教えてくださって分かりやすいツアーになりました。
夫婦共々、良い京都旅になりました。
ありがとうございます😊

It was great to be able to visit the classic tourist spots in Kyoto in one day. The guide and the driver were both kind, which was nice. I recommend it for first-timers.

京都の定番の観光地を1日でまわることができ、とてもよかったです。ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でよかったです。初めての方にはお勧めです。

I was able to sightsee without wasting time, thanks to the perfect time allocation. The bus ride after walking was just the right amount of rest, and I was very satisfied.

ちょうどいい時間配分で無駄なく観光できました。歩き疲れた後のバスでの移動は丁度いい休息となり満足できました。

It was great when I experienced it in different cities in April and December, but this time, with the heat, UV rays, traffic, and no wind, the kids were exhausted and we couldn't enjoy it.

４月と１２月に別の都市で体験した時は良かったのですが、今回暑さ、紫外線、渋滞と、風もなく子供もぐったりで楽しめませんでした。

This time, my spouse and I participated in this tour to explore school trip destinations. Since it was a weekday, there were only a few participants, and we were the only Japanese people, but the guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese, allowing us to have a great time. The weather was decent, but even though it's September, it was really hot! A parasol and a fan are essential. Above all, the tour on the air-conditioned bus was the best! Thank you to the driver and the guide for a meaningful tour.

今回は夫婦で修学旅行巡りをしようとこのツアーに参加させていただきました。平日ということもあってか少人数で日本人は私たちだけでしたが、ガイドさんが英語と日本語で説明してくれて楽しく過ごすことがてきました。お天気もまずまずで良かったのですが、9月とはいえとにかく暑い！日傘と扇風機は必需品です。そしてなにより冷房の効いたらバスでのツアーは最高でした！ドライバーさんガイドさん有意義なツアーありがとうございました。

It was really hot in Kyoto!
There were only the two of us, a mother and child, who were Japanese,
but thanks to our guide Naomi, we were able to enjoy it despite mostly having English-speaking guides.

I would like to request her again when I visit Kansai.

兎に角暑かった京都でした〜
日本人は私達親子2人だけで
英語圏のガイドが殆どでしたが
ガイドのナオミさんのおかげで
それも楽しめました

また、関西へ訪れた際には
お願いしたいです

The tour guide and the driver were both excellent! We happened to have a small group, so we were able to sit comfortably, and there was zero stress 😊 They arranged a proper sightseeing bus instead of a microbus, which made me very satisfied!

ツアーのガイドさんも運転手の方も、とても良かったです！
たまたま参加人数が少人数で、座席もゆったり座れて、ストレスゼロでした😊
マイクロバスではなく、ちゃんと観光バスを手配されてて、とても満足でした！

The cooling gel provided on the bus tour was a very appreciated service in this heat. However, when I opened it to use, the part meant to stick to the skin was sticky and gooey, which made it unusable, unfortunately.

The guide's instructions were very good.

バスツアーで渡された冷却剤
この暑さで非常にありがたいサービス
開封していざ使おうとしたところ
肌に貼る部分がネチョネチョ、ベタベタ
とても使える状態でなかったのが残念

ガイドさんの案内は、非常に良かったです

First of all, there were only a few groups this time, and everyone was from Japan.

We requested no meals, but we were able to enjoy snacks at various places, which was great for us and the kids.

It was wonderful to be able to visit all the must-see spots in Kyoto in one day, including Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama!

It was a very memorable and fun tour. Thank you! I highly recommend it!

まず今回はたまたま組数も少なく全て国内の方でした。

私達は食事無しでお願いしましたが、行く先々でちょこちょこ食べたいものを食べられたので子供と一緒に楽しめました。
1日で伏見稲荷神社、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山と京都に行くなら是非寄りたい所を全て周れるのはとても良かったです！

とても思い出に残る楽しいツアーでした、ありがとうございました！
おすすめです！！

It was easy to sightsee in a straightforward manner. It was more efficient than going around by myself. The bus was large and comfortable. I would like to participate with my children as well.

わかりやすく簡単に観光出来ました。
自分でまわるより効率的でした。バスも大きくて快適でした。子供も連れて参加したいと思います。

The weather was favorable, and the scenery was wonderful. Our guide, Emi Ono, was fluent in both Japanese and Chinese, and the time management was excellent.

天候にも恵まれ、素晴らしい景色でした。
ガイドの小野恵美さん
日本語も中国語も堪能で
時間調整も素晴らしかったです。

When my mother-in-law came to Japan from abroad, we participated in a tour. The guide's commentary was all in English, and she was very happy since she doesn't understand Japanese. I don't have much familiarity with Kyoto, so traveling by bus was very convenient. Additionally, because we joined the tour, we enjoyed many privileges, allowing us to smoothly complete our itinerary without any waiting time, and the whole family was very satisfied!

海外からお義母さんが日本に来た際にツアーに参加させていただきました。ガイド内容はすべて英語で、日本語がわからない彼女も大変喜んでいました。当方、京都の土地勘がないためバスでの移動は非常に楽でした。また、ツアーに参加したからこそ優遇されたことも多々あり、待ち時間なくすいすいと予定をこなすこともできて、家族みんな大満足でした！

City sightseeing under the blazing sun was intense. The heat was relentless, and a cold pack was essential. I struggled to keep up with the guide's explanations, but I was shown the key points, so I definitely plan to visit those places. I'm also thinking of taking another course. People in the city don't seem to know about this bus. Please provide a detailed explanation on TV or Instagram. The subcenter is a must-see. Osaka was truly vast and sophisticated.

照りつける太陽を浴びながらの市内観光。熱が容赦なかったです。保冷剤必須でした。ガイドさんの説明についていくのがやっとで、あっちもこっちもでしたが、要所を教えていただきましたので、必ず、行ってみようと思いました。別のコースにも乗ろうと思っています。市内の方が、このバスのことをご存知ありません。是非ともテレビやインスタで具体的に説明なさってください。副都心、決まりですね。大阪は実に巨大で洗練されていました。

The open-top double-decker bus has excellent sunlight exposure, so it's advisable to take proper measures against the heat while riding. On the day of our trip, there was a fire ahead on our route, and while the guide was wondering about it, a passenger checked their smartphone and found out there was a fire on the road we were taking, and informed the guide. The guide quickly relayed this to the driver, and we were able to avoid danger. I thought the quick-thinking passenger and the prompt response from the crew were commendable! The stories from the lady guide were also interesting and enjoyable.

屋根の無い二階建てバスは日当たり最高で暑さ対策はしっかりして乗車されると良いです。
当日、行程で行く道の先で火災があり、ガイドさんが何でしょうねぇ、なんて言っていた時に乗客がスマホで火災があり、バスの行く道だと調べてガイドさんに伝えた。ガイドさんはすぐにドライバーに伝え、私たちは難を逃れました。機転の効く乗客とすぐに対応した乗務員はあっぱれ！だと思いました。オバチャンガイドさんの話も面白く良かったです。
