All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

This tour is definitely worth it!
We did it in Feb 1st week and it was cold but worth the visit to Hakone and Mt. Fuji.
All the sites were very pretty and luckily we got a clear view of the Mt. Fuji.
Our tour guide was extremely sweet and very patient with all our questions.
The cruise at Lake Ashi was also exhilarating.
The most amazing part was the return by bullet train. The most amazing and fast Shinkasen experience!
Would definitely do this entire tour again in another season to see different scenic views!!!!
Thank you Veltra for this awesome trip!!!!

Pick up location is easy to find,bus arrived on time.

Thank You Veltra for making our Mt.Fuji tour experienced fun & memorable.

A really exciting, unusual, different thing to do when visiting Mt Fuji. We were meant to do the ice cave which looked pretty sedate but on the day we had to do a 'wind cave' instead. This is more of a proper cave crawl. The kids still talk about it but my wife was intimidated by it. Our guide, Tada, made all the difference though. Funny, engaging and considerate – he was excellent.

A good tour to save time. It is very difficult to navigate these places via public transport in Japan and it also saved a lot of time having to line up to purchase tickets.

We've been to many places, and our Japan tour is the best experience, both tour & tour guide. We will surely go back and book the same tour. And this time, my whole family. Thank you City Discovery.

During this season, the second floor was cold, but it was refreshing to look down at the streets of Tokyo from above. I would appreciate it if you could increase the number of trains a bit more.

この季節、2階は寒かったが東京の町並みを上から眺めるのは爽快であった。本数をもう少し増やしていただけると有難い

The advantage of this tour is the view of Minato Mirai 21 area and factories in Yokohama and Kawasaki, which you can enjoy only from the sea.
The boat may rock with waves depending on the weather.
The participants of the tour are seated on a bench on the rear deck with life jackets on, which are provided.
You need some protection against cold winds that blow when the boat moves.You'd better bring a coat, a pair of gloves, a scarf and a knitted cap.
There's no space for a tripod for camera.
Food and drinks are allowed on board, but I'd suggest that you refrain from beverages because there isn't any washroom.

This was a great way for my family and I to tour Tokyo. Using the trains you cannot see the city, and it was very useful to see how to get around Tokyo and how the neighborhoods connect. We stopped at Sky Tree, Asakusa, Akihabara and Nihonbashi, and had enough time to explore each place without rushing. My parents really enjoyed it.

I took a friend from overseas who just started working in Tokyo. We took the SKY HOP bus with the greatest weather. It made our day the best. Even though I live in Tokyo, thanks to the guide I found something new in Tokyo. It truly changed my mood by sightseeing, shopping and the lunch. The sightseeing course is perfect for couples or families. Today we took only one course from the three. Next time I would like to try the others.

I participated in the Honmoku Negishi course. The night view was beautiful, and I enjoyed the captain's talk. It was the last weekend of October, and although there was no wind and it was a calm day, it was quite cold. They lend you a blanket, but I recommend taking sufficient measures to keep warm.

本牧根岸コースに参加しました。夜景もキレイでしたし、船長のトークも楽しめました。10月最後の週末の参加で風もなく穏やかな日でしたが、けっこう寒かったです。膝掛けを貸してくれますが、十分な防寒対策をオススメします。

I went sightseeing in Tokyo at the request of a friend who is being transferred overseas for a long term! The weather was great, and the breeze from the SKY HOP bus felt wonderful. With a guide accompanying us, I discovered new things about Tokyo, even though I live here. It was a nice change of pace with sightseeing, shopping, and lunch! I think it would be enjoyable for dates or families as well. Today, we only went through one of the three courses, but I felt like I wanted to try a different course next time!

長期海外転勤になる友人の希望で東京観光をしました！！
天気も良く、SKY HOPバスならでわの風が気持ち良く最高です。ガイドさんもついて、東京在住ですが新しい東京の発見がありました。
観光、ショッピング、ランチと良い気分転換になりました！
デートや家族でも楽しめると思います。
今日は3コース中1コースだけ回りましたが、次は別のコースも行きたいと感じました！

I used this as I had saved enough points, it was more fun than I had imagined. Some points that you can only see because they are connected by the train line. It was very thrilling moving at high speed.

I had a one-day ticket, so I rode twice, first at 10:20, from Marunouchi to Skytree, second at 17:30 from Marunouchi to Odaiba. When I was on the first row, it felt like a rollercoaster even though it was a normal curve. You can see a 360 degree panoramic view in the middle as well as in the back. It was so overwhelming. I would highly recommend it for small children. As a grownup, I enjoyed the bus guide’s story, full of knowledge.

very good trip lots to see very interesting and good value for the money paid the tour guide was very good and gave us lots of information

I used it because I accumulated points, and I enjoyed it more than I expected.
The locations that can only be accessed by train are now connected by the line.
The high-speed travel is thrilling.

ポイントがたまったので利用しましたが、想像以上に楽しめました。
電車でしかいかない点の場所が線でつながりました。
高速走行などスリリングです。

The Nikko tour element of this trip was very fun, and the long trip there was made enjoyable by our delightful guide Amy (although I still can't get the song she had us sing out of my head). The temple was beautiful and the local environment a delight.
The unguided element at Edo Wonderland was a lot of fun, and one of our group even got dragged on stage to fumble through some scripted Japanese (we still don't know what he said, but the audience found it funny). The place itself had some of the hallmarks of a tourist trap, but these were easily overlooked when charmed by the friendly staff and casual atmosphere.
Don't miss the chance to dress up and have your picture taken!

Bad day weather wise. Saw nothing on mountain or cable car very dissatisfied .

This was an awesome tour! Wish I had a bit more time on Mt. Fuji but besides that, it was spectacular!

I was a bit concerned about the heat, but the seaside breeze was refreshing, and sitting outside on the boat felt comfortable with the pleasant wind. It was much better than being in the muggy city. The cruise itself felt like being in a near-future movie, and I can understand why it's so popular. There were large international cruise ships, and I think people coming from abroad must be amazed by Japan. Among the international ports I've seen recently, this one stands out as exceptionally modern and grand in scale. I'm once again surprised by how incredible Japan is. Even if it's not a sunny day, I don't think this cruise is significantly affected when it comes to enjoying the night views. I had a great time. The captain of the Santa Barbara was also a really nice person, full of service spirit, explaining things while quickly taking us to the front and getting us close to the highlights, providing great service and making it a lot of fun. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

Oh, taking photos of the night view is difficult, and it's hard to get good shots with a compact camera or a phone. But I recommend it.

暑い中、どうかなと思ったのですが、海辺は海風が涼しく、船も外側に座っていたのですが、風が気持ちよくて快適でした。蒸し暑い街中にいるよりずっと良かった。クルーズそのものも、まるで近未来の映画の中にいるようで、人気なのも頷けました。大きな国際客船がいましたが、海外から来る人たちも日本って凄いと思うんじゃないかな。昨今見た海外の国際港の中では群を抜いて近代的でスケールが大きい。日本って凄いんだと改めてびっくり。晴れの日でなくてもこのクルーズはあまり夜景を楽しむのにさほどの影響は無いと思います。とても楽しめました。サンタバルカの船長さんも凄く良い人で、サービス精神に溢れていて、あれやこれやと解説しながら高速で前の方に乗せてくれたり、見どころには近寄せてくれたり、大サービスで頑張ってくださって、とても楽しかったです。また機会があれば行っても良いな。
あ、夜景の写真って難しくて、ちゃんとした写真はコンデジや携帯のなんちゃって写真ではなかなかびしっといきません。でもお薦め。

Overview the tour is good. The tour guide is very responsible and careful. The bus driver is skillful and keeps his bus in the great condition. The tour content is interesting. The minus points were the lunch quality (bit poor) and the time lost so much on the bus caused of the traffic jam.

Excellent guide.

The one day tour to Mt. Fuji was very interesting. The bus accommodations were comfortable and our tour guide knowledgeable. Standing at the fifth station was amazing and being about to look up at Mt. Fuji was wonderful. We rode the cable car for a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding area and took a boat ride on the lake below Mt. Fuji. Would I do the tour again? Yes but there are some things to be prepared to understand. The traffic was so heavy leaving Tokyo that it took an additional hour to get there. We only had a 15 minute rest stop which was barely enough time to buy a beverage and a snack. Because of the traffic, we did not get to enjoy the visitor's center. They stopped there for a potty break but we only had five minutes there so we missed all the exhibits. The worst part of the trip was the bus ride from Mt. Fuji to Shinkansen to catch the bullet train back to the city. We had to cross the mountains on a winding road and in his haste to get us there in time, the bus driver, although safe, made my son and granddaughter sick from the motion on the bus. I was seated in the front row so it was not as bad for me. This part of the journey was not mentioned at all prior to the end of our tour.

Perfect English speaking guide: a bonus in Japan. Mt Fuji was disappointing as nothing spectacular seen. Godonla ride was interesting and Shinkansen was unforgettable.

Thank you for an excellent daytour. I particularly want to thank our guide Marie for an entertaining, knowledgeable and caring approach to her tour customers. Thank you Marie, for your humour and hospitality. ba<x>sed on my experience on this tour, I would be glad to recommend the services of your company.

Surprisingly, the factory night view was great, but what impressed me the most was the captain's personality! He was someone who genuinely wanted us to have a good time, and I felt his hospitality. I would love to take a cruise with this captain again. I highly recommend it.

意外にも、工場夜景もよかったですが、一番感動したのは、船長さんのお人柄！
私たちに楽しんでほしいと一生懸命な方でホスピタリティを感じました。
またこの船長さんのクルーズに乗りたいです。おすすめです。

The tour was great and we had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, we had bad weather but our guide Take (I hope I am spelling his name correctly) did everything he could to compensate for that. Thank you Take! So, the only thing stopping us from loving the tour were the clouds hiding Fuji-san. Hopefully next time we'll actually be able to go up :)

Great guide nicknamed Fish, marvelous views and exciting return by Shinkansen train

Thank you very Katsu, our guide.

I exchanged my points for a bus ticket since Alan's points were about to expire. It was valid for 24 hours, covered three routes, and included a live guide, which was very good.

アランのポイント期限切れ間近のためバスチケットに交換。２４時間有効で３路線、生のガイド有りとても良かった。
