All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

We enjoyed a second wonderful day on our visit to Japan with our guide Taiji. After a very long day visiting Mt. Fuji, we embarked on a city tour of Tokyo by planning a more leisurely pace. Starting the day by introducing Taiji to his first "Costco experience" was a fun and relaxing way to wind down from the previous day, then we quickly got back into busy mode for the rest of the day until dinnertime. Taiji adjusted quickly on the fly to our fickle plans but managed to combine great food, sightseeing, and shopping into one full and memorable day, including extra trips back to our place to drop off some of our shopping bags! Thank you so much again for showing us a great time in Tokyo, Taiji. We will certainly be back soon!

We had a fabulous time with our guide Taiji. Not only did we luck out in mid December with nearly perfect weather that afforded us with gorgeous views everywhere of Mt. Fuji, but Taiji was able to recommend some great sightseeing as well as shopping spots to us. The highlights included an amazing visit to the kimono museum that Taiji recommended to us that included a magnificent tea room, as well as a fantastic local lunch spot that also included an amazing photo gallery upstairs with one-of-a-kind shots of Mt. Fuji. What an utterly memorable and unforgettable experience! Thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful guidance, Taiji!

The Ninja Village is a boring place with no activity. First thought of the place is a Theme Park exploring attraction. Nothing to experience with, just a young girl with Facebook frame posing as Ninja. The lunch is interesting though, but many tourists wasted food.
The trip ends after a brief site visit of Mount Fuji and a food street village. Tour guides rest and everything quiet inside the bus on return trip. No interaction among participants and no group photography session. Everyone minding their own business.

Tour guide was really animated and helpful.

Awesome experience and what an awesome guide we had (Mayumi). The tour was smooth from bus transfer to Mt Fuji etc till we rode back to our hotel via Shinkansen. Won't hesitate to book any tour someday with City Discovery.

I just went!

I had been longing to experience the "Factory Night View Exploration Cruise" since I saw it on TV, and this time it was the monthly Honmoku-Negishi course.

For 90 minutes, the captain provided commentary while steering the boat. The factory night views I saw for the first time felt like scenes from a near-future movie.

Wearing a life jacket and standing at the bow, seeing the industrial area up close was a culture shock. It was so surreal that I forgot I was in Yokohama.

The boat moved at various speeds, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which added to the thrill and made it the best experience.

At first, I thought the captain's commentary might be pre-recorded, but I was moved to find out it was all live. The explanations were very easy to understand.

My two friends were also extremely impressed!! As the one who organized it, I felt so proud.

行ってきました！

テレビで観てから憧れていた「工場夜景探検クルーズ」今回は月一度の本牧・根岸コースです。

船長さんが運転をしながら、コースの解説をすること90分。初めて観る工場夜景は、映画で観た近未来の映像のよう。

ライフジャケットを着ながら、船首の上に立ち、工場地帯を近距離から観た時はカルチャーショックを受けました。幻想的で横浜であることを忘れました。

船はスピードがある時や、ゆっくり進む時ありと様々。スリルもありと最高でした。

最初はテープかな？と思っていた船長さんの解説ですが、全て生ライブとわかり感動です。とても分かり易い解説でした。

友人二人も大感激!!
企画した私は鼻高々でした。

I booked this tour hoping my foreign friends would enjoy it. We visited two courses: Asakusa and Odaiba, but the Odaiba course was particularly well-received. The first stop was next to Tokyo Tower. The beautifully lit Tokyo Tower was breathtaking and even for someone living in Japan, it was moving. Since we were on a bus with a transparent upper deck, I was able to take photos of Tokyo Tower from a close-up angle, looking up at it. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see fireworks near the Rainbow Bridge. I wish we could have extended our trip to Roppongi, but there were few buses, so we had to give up. I think the illuminations in Roppongi are beautiful this time of year, so I hope the bus frequency increases a bit. Another issue was that, despite it being Saturday, the service was running on a weekday schedule. According to the staff, they had started running the same schedule all day for a while now. I found out about this on the morning of the tour and had to change my plans, so I felt it would have been helpful if this information was available on the website.

外国人の友達が喜んでくれるといいなと思い、このツアーを予約しました。浅草コースとお台場コースの２つを巡りましたが、特に好評だったのはお台場コースです。まず初めの停留所は東京タワー横。綺麗にライトアップされた東京タワーは圧巻で、日本に住んでいる私にとっても感動的でした。乗車していたのが上がスケルトンになっているタイプのバスだったこともあり、接近して見上げるような角度で東京タワーの写真を撮ることができました。また、偶然にもレインボーブリッジの脇に花火を見ることができ、ラッキーな思いもできました。六本木まで足を伸ばせたら良かったのですが、バスの本数が少なく、断念しました。六本木のライトアップも綺麗な時期だと思うので、もう少し本数が増えれば良いのになぁと思います。また、最も困った点は、土曜日だったにもかかわらず平日ダイヤで運行していたことです。担当の方いはく、少し前から終日同じダイヤで走るようになったとのこと。当日の朝そのことを知り、予定を変えなくてはいけなくなったので、HPの方にも情報が載っていると良かったなと感じました。

The day we rode was very windy, but it felt refreshing! I thoroughly enjoyed it with the guide's polite and lively explanations in the background. I want to ride again!

乗った日は強風でしたが気分爽快！
ガイドさんの丁寧で軽快な説明をバックに充分楽しめました。また乗りたい！

Mt. Fuji and Hakone tour is great experience in Japan. Super enjoy. The tour guide is knowledgeable to her job interesting no dull moment when we're the way to mt. fuji. The food is too simple but its ok, but the nature that you see can full your eyes wow!!! superb!!!!. Make it sure you bring along your powerbank so you will not miss all the pictures and videos that you want. The only think that we do not want in all our tour is the service way back to our hotel... We are all tired for the whole day tour but we have to go back on our own to our hotel... Should you have a pick up and transfer back to hotel for the comfort of the guest? its a suggestion. The food and transpo is much expensive than other countries. Tokyo Station is much complicated thou there are signages...But overall thanks to City Discovery..we really enjoy the tour...

Loved the tour and the way it was organized. The guide was wonderful and kept us entertained all through out. The lunch was great, and finally the breathtaking views of Mt fuji. We couldnt make it to the 5th station because of the snowfall a few days back, but it didnt dampen the tour at all.

best tour if you have a small amount of time in Tokyo. We went to a lot of places and it does not feel rush. We will use veltra again when we go back to Japan!

One of our most memorable trip in Japan is at Mt. Fuji. No hassle, great views our tour guide even helped us with our lost phone at mt. fuji. Thanks again!

We were lucky on the day we visited. Sky was clear and we were able to see Mount Fuji and also visited the Owakudani Valley (and eat the Black Egg!). Our tour guide, Kana-san speaks good English and clear. She also gave us alot of visitor information on Japan. We did not make any lunch reservation therefore we ordered food from the hotel on that day itself - not too pricey, for about 1300yen and you will get a quite decent bowl of Hot Udon with tempura.
Worth going for this tour!

Unfortunately with the traffic, touring by Coach was not a good idea as we spent most our time travelling. May be going by bullet train and meet at the station would have been better, Drivers and guide were very nice.

Our trip started with going to Gotemba outlet first due to a change in the schedule. It was a blessing in disguise as we got to view and appreciate a "very shy" but beautiful Mt Fuji for about 1hr at Gotemba before clouds & visibility obscured her from being viewed. Also, we got to see the sulphur vents blowing steam at Hakone which was also special as it doesn't always happen. The all you can eat yakiniku lunch was a real treat too. So a very fun daytrip out of the city

The tour was great. The guide had a lot of knowledge of the areas and even sang songs for us on the way.

Would recommend this tour to anyone travelling in japan.

Bus drivers very helpful, staff generally very kind and helpful. The two routes we took encompassed quite a great deal of the city. We preferred the route that took in the Rainbow bridge. We had a job finding the office to collect our ticket after getting our online voucher, but a kindly bus driver took us to the office and dropped us off. Once there we were able to get our tickets and were off. The bus is hop on hop off but limited in time, so we were only able to do the two routes in one day as there was a gap over lunch time, which is why we found a little restaurant near the office to while away the time until the afternoon bus. They are not as frequent as we have found in other cities, but on the whole worthwhile for the money.

We went on the private Mt. Fuji pilgrimage tour. Our tour guide was Taiji Endo. We all had a good time and our our guide was great! Very informative and a safe driver. He also gave us a good restaurant recommendation for lunch. We would definitely recomment the tour and our tour guide as well.

The tour is good. We have Aikko as our tour guide, and she was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent. But the time to do things is limited. We had only 45 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.
Overall the tour is good, the weather is good, the variety of traditional Japanese lunch is good. I will be going to Mount Fuji again in winter, hope we can spent more time there.

We were lucky to have seen Mt. Fuji without the clouds blocking it. It was gorgeous. We had Tomoko-san as our English speaking guide. She was very nice and accommodating. She even escorted us to the train station going back to the hotel. Overall the tour was really worth it.

The tour was great and Japanese lunch provided was yummy too! Special commendation to our guide, Nana-san! She was well-prepared and detailed. She brought samples of local produce to show us, and all her instructions for meeting locations were illustrated with drawings! She was very professional and made sure we know her guests knew their way back to their hotels after her tour. She came to each of us personally with handwritten instructions which JR line and train to board. We completely enjoyed ourselves!

Since we only had 5 days to explore Japan, we needed to plan our itinerary well. Thankfully, this tour brought us to many amazing places in just one day.

Although mostly cloudy during fall, we were able to sneak a great view of Mt. Fuji at the 5th station. The bus ride was also very smooth, and our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and informative. The tour is also great for elderly since not much walking/trekking is involved.

The only downside is the limited time to do things. We had only 30 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.

But considering the locations we were able to visit in a day, I would say it was worth it. We arrived back in Tokyo around past 6 pm giving us enough time to enjoy dinner.f

Tour worth doing. The guide was very friendly and informative. The bullet train ride was a great way to finish the tour.

The bus ride is fine for a speedy trip through parts of Tokyo. We had good weather, but I would not do this in the rain. The guide was a bit out of sync at some points and cut the commentary short when you went past locations at higher speeds. It was a good intro to Tokyo, but I am not sure I would recommend it for the price.

Unfortunately, rain was pouring down this day. We got all wet on the bus. Can only visit Asakusa Temple. Not a memorable day to speak off.

Great day. Had a great guide who gave us lots of interesting info on Japan and it's people on the way. Kept with us right to theto the end

We loved the tour. It was designed well and really enjoyed the view from 5th station. It was foggy but cleared up for a while to enjoy the view. I would definitely recommend the tour while in Tokyo. The pick up and drop off was great and lunch was great as well. Enjoyed !

It was great - the food, the guide, the trip, everything was really good.
So why not 5 stars you might ask? - well, there has to be room for improvement, the bus could be nicer (thats a queation of price i understand that), but why do i still need to print my confirmation, and why do i have to call to confirm when i have paid in full and so on. It's actually quite difficult to call, the number dont work from a mobile phone - du you think a tourist travel with a printer and land line....... off course most hotels offer that, but it's a hassle you can't do everything online, or through the app. But please understand that it is a very very small complaint - the trip was really really good, and the price was low.

Taiji is a great guide. He arrived on time and took us to Mt Fuji. He has the 'Mt Fuji luck' where every tour group he brings, the mountain view is clear. He speaks very good english and french too! My children loved him. This itinerary was fun and relaxing just the way we wanted.

The meal was nice and a good variety of Japanese foods.
