All Reviews for Bus Tours

I rode all three courses, and it was a very good ticket for efficiently sightseeing in Tokyo. Since I could get off at various stops, I was able to enjoy different places by checking the timetable in advance. I plan to use it again for my next Tokyo sightseeing trip.

３つのコース全て乗車し、効率的に東京観光出来るので、私にとってはとてもよい乗車券でした。
途中下車出来るので、自分が行きたい場所で乗り降り出来るので、予め時刻表を確認する事で、いろいろな場所を楽しむ事が出来ました。
次の東京観光の時にも、利用しようと思います。

As mentioned, this was an interesting tour round the centre of Tokyo, with the ability to get on and off the open-topped bus at points of interest.
On the Roppongi/Odaiba route, before Tokyo Teleport, however, there are only three buses per day, meaning you'd need to spend quite a long time at e.g. Roppongi Hills. At or after Tokyo Teleport, the route coincides with the Odaiba-only route, so you can change between buses, meaning the gap between buses is only an hour and a half or so.
It was a strong sunshine/30C day this week, so future travellers are strongly advised to check the weather, and to take hats and sunscreen.

30分単位でバスがこれば良いなと思います。

I think it would be better if the bus arrives every 30 mins.

We had a great day! Though the bus arrived late for almost an hr for the pick up time- the tour guide KIM manage to make up the time we've missed. You need someone like Kim- the Korean guy in your company, he did a great job!

Great way to see the city, good guide and was pleased to meet four young girls
dressed in kimonos and ninja man for photos. Highly recommend the trip.

Pick up was on time from the hotel
tour very well organised
tour guides very professional friendly and informative
lunch was very good
cruise was very good also
drop off back to the hotel was well done
I will have no hesitation in recommending this tour to my friends

The tour was well worth the money. Yoshi was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. All the places seen were very good (pity blossom had come early so did not see a grand display). Although the azaleas were very colourful.

The tower was very good and the views from the top excellent. Imperial Palace gardens and other gardens were colourful.

A wonderful excursion I would recommend.

The tour was worth every penny. Went above and beyond to get us the view of MT Fuji . The blueberry ice cream at the first stop was to die for . The 3D ride was great and lunch at the ninja village was good . Recommend this tour for everyone.

The tour was well organized.
The tour guide was well informed and communicated all the details in a orderly basis.
We were given ample time to enjoy the sights.
Well done

Tour was great, although the information on where to find the tour bus is a bit confusing from the emails.

It was an excellent tour to Mt. Fuji! We enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Jack, was amazing and knowledgeable. He explained everything about Fuji and other attractions. His descriptions about Japanese culture, food and history were quite enlightening. Definitely recommend It!

A tour guide with a good sense of humor and put us at ease and allow us to truly relax as we enjoy our tours and activities.

What a amazing tour !

We were very fortunate to have a clear day and amazing views of Mt Fuji

Everything on this tour was great, the amount of time we stopped in each place and the traditional lunch was yummy

Perfect tour for those who want to see a lot and the bus ride is comfy

I couldn’t fault our tour guide, he was lovely and funny and entertaining and helped us all take amazing photos. He even switched around the schedule and we got to go to the ropeway instead of the 4D ride thing and at the rope way we got the most incredible pictures of mt Fuji. We were also very fortunate to able to go all the way to fifth station

I would highly recommend this tour

Not enough stops, not enough pick-up points.
English narrative was good.

WE returned our tickets, as it was inconvenient to use , it was raining and we were too tired.

Good way to explore Tokyo City. It was raining but covers on our bus is inoperable

It is worse than a similar service in Hong Kong by three criteria:
1) Flexibility for Hop-On and Off users
Purple and Red paths differ only by 3 stations. A short (3-stops) Purple extension to the Red one would be a better option for covering all sites.
2) Usage as an all-weather carrier from point A to point B.
No sitting places on the lower deck is a serious disadvantage on rainy or too sunny days.
3) No Russian language in the list. Adding this option is cheap and will draw more customers from CIS countries like myself (My wife does not speak English and I had to translate for her)

4) The good news is that Tokyo service is organized better than that in Kyoto :)

We were disappointed with the tour. A long trip to a Park. A boat ride under a lot of bridges which was interrupted by the Guide wanting to know if we wanted the Bus back or would go our own way. Were told it might be 8pm before we got back. We hadn't been able to book into our Hotel before the tour and would need to find food etc so, 8pm was too late for us. We left the tour after the Boat trip and found your own way back by Train.

We found the tour guide very hard to understand and she talked non-stop about many uninteresting things or maybe we just couldn't understand her properly.

We would have like to see some points of interest like a Shrine or two, Tokyo Tower etc.

Sorry can't recommend this one.

Easy access and close to all main attractions; child friendly which was a bonus

Had so much fun with this tour especially with our good looking tour guide! I would highly recommend this to all my family and friend! I love the cherry blossom too

Blair was great! He was very knowledgeable and provided a great experience at each stop!

We really wanted to visit Fuji, and I was looking a way to do it by our selfes.

Then I saw the Veltra tour and I knew that if we went to see all those things by ourselfs, we wouldn't see even half of it.

I was right and I'm realy happy we took the tour.

We saw everything on the list, exept we only went to the 4th stop on Fuji and not to the 5th like it said on the program.
At least we got on the mountain a bit :)

I wish we had more time in the Ninja Vilage. We had the best lunch (the one included in the tour for 2000¥ per person for all you can eat), and we immediately went on the Ninja show for 850¥ (not included in the price of the tour). After that we barelly had the time to visit the gift shop and didn't even strolled through the village it self. I gues we should've hurry with the eating.

All and all we couln't see all that by public transport, and it would've cost a lot more.

Thank you for the tour,
Elena from Skopje, Macedonia.

Having to line up for 45min at the ticket office to redeem our prepaid voucher when unreserved people could purchase tickets 15 mins before was frustrating to say the least. Not enough buses, had to wait over an hour for the next bus only to wait in line again for people who had not purchased their tickets. The audio recording stopped half way through the description and was often out of sync with the locations.
If your interested in historic or cultural sights and information, don’t waste your time and money on this tour.

My family and I enjoyed the tour, it was informative and so much to see and take in...
I liked the audio narration option on the tour, it was presented in English
I would recommend the tour and to arrive as early as possible, furthermore it leaves the option of going back to explore further by using the “ hop on and off “ option...

We had a great view of Mt. Fuji, even on the road to the sites! Levin was very entertaining and informative. The 4-D ride was an amazing experience.

we were very lucky to join the Grand Tour of Tokyo organised by VELTRA with English guide.
This tour includes the paranomic view of Tokyo from Tokyo Tower. Next we went to Meiji Shrine and later the Imperial Palace East Garden and we were very lucky to see the Cherry blossom almost at full bloom.
The bus also brought us a drive though Ginza Shopping district, The Diet Building and Akasaka Guest House.
Typical delicious Japanese lunch was provided by this tour.
The Sumida River Cruise is one of the highlights of this tour which brought us to Asakusa Temple. We were able to experience a wonderful cruise with Sakura in full bloom on both sides of the river.
The shops lining towards Asakusa Kannon Temple is a must for Tokyo tourists. We bought a lot Japanese souvenirs and gifts from the many little interesting shops.
We had the opportunity to see Ueno and Akihabara in the evening when the bus drove though the area on the way to drop off point.
Overall is a fantastic experience for both of us,
. Thank you very much VELTRA tour.

We found this tour to be well worth the money. It was easy to exchange the online voucher at the office and immediately catch the purple line. The purple line was significantly more interesting than the blue line, but both were worth it. This was an effective way to get around Tokyo and see many beautiful areas. Highly recommend.

Too few stops. Need to increase stops for places of interest

This is definitely a great way to start your tour in Tokyo. The bus ride over the bridge to Tokyo Bay is exhilarating! Just make sure you sit all the way at the front because the wind on the high way is no joke. There are multiple buses so if you want to see more stuff you can easily switch. The price is about the same if you were to take the underground metro, but you get a guided tour instead on the bus! Thanks for a great experience!!

Easy to buy tickets and very friendly staff, but the audio guide was really uninteresting, almost boring. Often landmarks were discussed after they had already passed out of view. Stops are spaced very far apart, and not necessarily where you would want to get off. It's a reasonable way to spend a sunny day but expect to take the subway to get where you want to go.
