All Reviews for Bus Tours

Most of the tours that were conducted experienced unpredictable weather, and it seemed that the cherry blossoms had not yet bloomed. However, on the day I participated, the weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I was very lucky. The course was also quite satisfying. I had high expectations for the view from the open-top bus, but unfortunately, the bus windows were dirty and looked foggy. What a disappointment.

催行されたツアーは、ほとんどが天気不順で、
桜もまだ開花してないようでしたが　私の参加した日は、
天気も良く　桜も満開　とても　ラッキーでした
コースもよく満足のいくものでした
オープントップバスで、さぞかし　良い眺めだろうと
期待していたのですが，なんと　バスの窓が汚れていて
曇りガラスのようでした。なんとも　残念

The road lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom was beautiful, and I could see them up close from the open-top bus, almost as if I could reach out and touch them. Other than that, the view of the cherry blossoms was from a distance, which is understandable given the location, but I felt it would have been even better if I could have seen them a bit closer. The guide shared many interesting facts that I didn't know, which made me feel more knowledgeable.

There were children in the back who were crying, kicking the seats, and making noise with their juice holders. Since I like kids, it didn't bother me too much, but I thought it might be better to consider seating arrangements.

However, it was my first time riding a double-decker open-top bus, and the different scenery, the pleasant breeze, and the beautiful cherry blossoms made it a wonderful experience.

桜が満開で両脇に桜の木がある道はオープンバスで手がとどきそうなぐらい近い状態で見れて綺麗だった。その他は遠めの桜をみる感じで場所的にもしょうがないがもう少し近くで見れたらもっと良いと感じた。ガイドさんの話も知らなかったことが多く知識がました気がする。
後ろの方が子供連れで泣いたり、椅子をドンドンと蹴ることやジュースホルダーをガチャガチャと私は子供好きなので大丈夫ではあったが席を考えたほうが良いのかな〜と思いました。
ですが初めて二階建てオープンバスにのりいつもとは違う景色、風の心地よさ、桜も綺麗でとても良かったです。

I took a Thai family who came to Japan to see the cherry blossoms on the Skytree course. They were thrilled the whole time as we explored the course filled with cherry blossoms. I had the impression that there would be mostly foreign guests, but I was surprised to find that it was mostly Japanese people. Next time, I would like to enjoy the Odaiba course.

桜を見に日本に来たタイ人ファミリーを連れてスカイツリーコースを回らせてもらいました。
桜いっぱいのコースを回ってくれて、タイ人ファミリーも終始テンション上がっていました。
外国人のお客さんばかりのイメージでしたが、実際は日本人ばっかりでびっくりしました。
時間はお台場コースを楽しんでみたいです。

Unfortunately, since the cherry blossoms are not blooming, it just turned into a situation of going around in circles on the bus, and because there are cancellation fees, I couldn't change my plans either, which was a bit disappointing.

残念ながら桜が咲いてないと、ただバスでグルグルまわっているだけとなり、キャンセル料金もかかるため、他にプランの変更も出来ず、ちょっとがっかりした

Even though it's in the city, having fun rides with family and a cheerful guide made for a great start to a weekend spent nearby. I highly recommend it!

都内は勤務地といえ、家族と楽しい乗り物、明るくしてくれるガイドさんがが足されると、近場で過ごす休日の良いスタートとなりました。
お勧めです

The weather was just right, and even getting splashed felt nice. There were lots of seagulls following us. The powerful moment when the bus enters the water is something unique to the amphibious bus!

お天気ちょうど良くて、しぶきがかかっても気持ちいい。カモメさんがいっぱいついてきました
普通の船にはない、バスが入水する迫力ある瞬間は水陸両用バスならではですね！！

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual, so they weren't in full bloom, but I think I was able to see quite a few flowers. The guide's talk was very informative, and I was surprised by how much I didn't know about the historical background and new discoveries, even though I live in Tokyo. It was really great. It was a tour that made me want to participate every year.

今年は桜が遅咲きだったので、満開とまではいきませんでしたが割と咲いている状態を見れたと思います。ガイドさんのお話がとても為になり、歴史的背景や新しい発見など、東京在住なのに知らない事が多くて驚きましたしとても良かったです。毎年参加したいなと思えるツアーでした。

It was my first time participating with a friend. We were looking for a place to see cherry blossoms, and that's when we found Sky Duck. The amphibious bus is something you should experience at least once! Since there are no windows, you can feel the nature around you, and the elevated view makes the scenery look fresh. Above all, the most wonderful part was the guide! Whether it was improvisation or not, they kept the passengers entertained with stories in any situation. Thank you for a wonderful experience; it became a great memory.

友人と初めての参加でした。桜を見たいね、という事で探していたところスカイダックを見つけました。
水陸両用バス、一度は体験するべきです！窓がないのでそのままの自然を感じ、目線も高いので景色が新鮮に映ります。何より一番素晴らしいのはガイドさんです！アドリブなのかどんな状況でも乗客を飽きさせる事なくお話してくれました。素晴らしい体験をありがとうございます、いい思い出になりました。

I booked during the cherry blossom peak season, but unlike the photos, the cherry blossoms weren't close enough to see, and I didn't really need to ride the cold double-decker bus. I only saw one cherry blossom tree at the entrance of Ueno Park as I passed by, so I couldn't see anything inside. It felt like a trip just to visit tourist spots. It was inexpensive, and the guide was decent.

桜は満開シーズンで予約しましたが、写真とは違い桜が近くにあって見えるわけでもなく、寒い二階建てバスに乗る必要もないかなと。
上野公園は入り口の一本の桜を見たのみで横を通ったので中は全く見えず。
観光地を回る旅だったかな。
お安かったし、ガイドさんもそれなりかと。

The cherry blossoms were only partially in bloom, which was disappointing, but the weather was great with blue skies and warmth. Riding the double-decker bus for the first time with my three close friends was exciting! The guide's stories were educational and humorous, making it a fantastic experience. I've been to many famous cherry blossom spots before, but the view from the bus was refreshing. We all decided to go again next year! Thank you for a wonderful trip.

桜は１、2部咲きで期待外れでしたが、天候に恵まれ青空、暖かくて、初めての２階建バスは親友4人でワクワク❗️ガイドさんのお話は勉強になったり、ユーモアもあり楽しくて最高でした。行った事のある桜名所の数々ですが、バスからの眺めは新鮮でした。
また来年も行こう‼️と皆んなで決めました。楽しい旅をありがとうございました。

The cherry blossoms were unexpectedly late, and even though it was a double-decker bus for the opening, I couldn't fully enjoy the experience! It was disappointing. There's nothing that could be done about that. Instead, the guide did their best to share stories with us. I felt that booking seasonal events can be quite tricky.

予想外に桜が遅れ、せっかくのオープン二階建てバスだったのに、醍醐味味わえず❗残念でした。こればかりは、どうしようもない事でした。代わりにとガイドさんが一生懸命話をして下さいましたが。
季節のイベントは予約時期が難しいと、感じました。

I participated in a group that included everyone from one year old to seniors, and everyone had a great time! For those who are unsure, you're missing out if you don't experience it!

一歳から後期高齢者まで含めたグループで参加しましたが、全員が楽しめました！
迷ってる皆さん、体験しないと損です！

The cherry blossoms are almost not blooming. Even on the trees that are blooming, there are only a few flowers. However, just feeling the pleasant breeze and listening to the guide's stories made for a very enjoyable cruise.

桜はほぼ咲いていません。咲いている木でも数輪程度がほとんど。
でも気持ちいい風を感じながら、ガイドさんの話を聞いてるだけで、十分楽しめたクルーズでした。

We made a reservation for five people and went by car. We intended to park at the Yaesu Underground Parking, and since my father is in a wheelchair and my mother might not be able to walk, we participated with both of them in wheelchairs. My parents and I got dropped off in front of the VIP lounge while our companion headed to the parking. However, everywhere was full, and we couldn't find a place to park by the time we needed to leave. The bus guide helped by pushing the wheelchair and checked the names of the two companions who were running late, ensuring that all five of us could participate until the end. I thought we arrived early, but it was our responsibility that we ended up searching for parking. Still, I was very grateful for the guide's kindness.

For those participating by car, please be careful.

The weather was cloudy, and there was a light rain for a short time, but we didn't get too wet. I wanted to enjoy cherry blossom viewing, but since the blooming forecast was delayed, we ended up looking for the few cherry blossoms that were blooming.

With two people not making it, three of us participated, and searching for the scattered blooming cherry blossoms became a good memory. After getting off, we met up with our companions and promised to join another tour together. My parents also participated in the double-decker bus, and since the stairs were dangerous, they were allowed to get on and off last, which made them happy as they were told to take their time.

I think it was good that even with a wheelchair and elderly people, we didn't have to get on and off the bus during the one-hour drive. Traveling can be tough for the elderly, but I appreciate tours that don't require frequent getting on and off in a short time.

I would like to thank all the staff, especially the guide. Thank you very much.

5人で予約し、車で行きました。八重洲地下駐車場に停めるつもりで、車椅子の父と歩け無くなるかもしれない母も車椅子を押しての参加で、VIPラウンジ前で両親と3人が降りて、同行者がパーキングへ向いました。しかし、どこも満車で
車が停められずに出発時間となりました。バスガイドさんが、車椅子を押してくれたり、間に合わない同行者を気にして2人の名前を確認してくれたり、最後迄5人で参加できる様に対応して頂きました。早目に行ったつもりでしたが、パーキング探しになったのはコチラの責任。それでもガイドさんの優しさが、とても嬉しかったので感謝しています。
車で参加される方は注意して下さい。

お天気は曇りで、途中にパラパラと雨が降りましたが、短時間でしたのでそれ程濡れる事も無かったです。
御花見をしたかったのですが、開花予想が遅れていたので、逆にチラホラと咲いている桜を見付ける様に御花見して来ました。

2人が間に合わず3人参加、チラホラと咲く桜を探すように見て廻った事も良い想い出となりました。
降車後、同行者と合流し　また違うツアーに参加する約束をしました。
両親も2階建てバスに参加し、階段が危ないため最後に乗降させて頂き、ゆっくりで良いですよ〜。と気遣って頂けたので、楽しかったと喜んでいました。
車椅子や高齢者でも、1時間のドライブで　バスに乗ったり、降りたりしないので良かったと思います。高齢者になると外出や旅行は大変ですが、短時間で乗り降りしないツアーは有難いと思います。

スタッフの皆様、特にガイドさんには
感謝しております。有難う御座いました。

Despite the rain, I had a great time thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and the driver's excellent driving.

雨の中でしたがガイドさんの楽しいお話しとドライバーさんの素晴しい運転のおかげで楽しい時間が過ごせました。

Guide was great. Very nice tour. Only feedback is that I would have preferred less time at Tokyo Tower and more in Asakusa.

It was my first time riding the Sky Bus. It was a cold day. Since I came from Aomori for the trip, I thought it would feel warm, but the Sky Bus was quite chilly.

However, even while shivering from the cold, I appreciated the words of the guide that reached my ears. I was very grateful for the cheerful words meant to entertain the tourists. While listening to the stories, I felt it was a good choice to take the Sky Bus today. The wind was extremely cold, but thank you for the heartwarming experience.

　スカイバスに乗ったのは初めて。風が冷たい日でした。青森から旅行に来たということもあり、体感は暖かく感じられるだろうと思って乗ったスカイバスの寒かったこと。
　しかし、寒い寒いと震えながらも耳に入ってくるガイドさんの言葉。観光客を楽しませようとする楽しい言葉がとてもありがたく思いました。お話しを聞きながら、今日はスカイバスを選んで良かったと思う時間でした。風は最高冷たかったけど、心温まる時間をありがとうございました。

We had a lovely rainy day on a warm and dry bus. Nice spots to give a good view of Tokyo with a nice lunch. Comfy yellow bus with big windows.

The Shinjuku station pickup spot could be noted a little more clearly. Directions take you to the Hato bus office so we went very early and caught someone. It wasn’t clear that they would be there the whole time or locked up so just know there is a 1 and 2 bus stop just for Hato on the street directly across from the Starbucks that is outside from the office (not across the street, but just a straight walk out towards the street). The pole sign will call out their different packages and they will be there to ensure you’re on the right bus.

My wife and I came to Tokyo to run the marathon and had limited time available to sightsee. This tour hit so many items on our hit list and the conductors were so knowledgeable about the history of the places. The only downside is that we wish we had more time to explore some of the places like the temples and the imperial gardens, but I understand with all the places we needed to get in that just wasn't possible. The only thing I might change is the cruise part since there just wasn't much to see on the cruise and the tour guides couldn't really talk much during the trip because there were other passengers not from our group. I would have preferred to get additional time at either of the temples. However it was still enjoyable and if we return to Tokyo we would definitely consider doing this tour again.

Even on a rainy day, the vinyl acted as a window, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting wet. Thanks to that, it might not have been cold in winter without the wind.

I heard that there is a sunshade on the ceiling in summer, and the transparent ceiling is only for now. We were able to take pictures of the Tokyo Skytree all the way to the top.

The guide kept the energy up throughout, and my child was especially delighted with the diving, which they were looking forward to the most. We passed by several people practicing canoeing on the river, and it was heartwarming that everyone waved at us.

The explanation mentioned that the river ride lasts about 20 minutes. After getting off the river, there was a 10-15 minute disembarkation time, and we could take a break at the café or use the restroom.

My elementary school child seemed to enjoy it too, and said they want to go again on a sunny day.

雨の日でもビニールが窓がわりになっていたので濡れずに楽しめました。おかげで冬でも風がなく寒くなかったかもしれません。
夏は天井にサンシェードがあるとの事で、天井も透明なのは今だけとの事。スカイツリーもてっぺんまで写真に撮れました◎

終始ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれて、子どもが1番楽しみにしていたダイビングも大喜びでした。
川ではカヌー？を練習中の方と何度もすれ違いましたが皆さん手を振ってくれたのも微笑ましかったです。
川は20分くらいとの説明がありました。川から出た後は10-15分くらいの降車タイムがあり、カフェで休憩やトイレも可能でした。

今度は晴れた日にも行きたいね、と小学生の子どもも楽しめたようです。

I had a great time interacting in English with foreign friends who love Japan. It was wonderful to engage in cultural exchange with people from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. I was glad to explain the matcha experience. Although Mount Fuji was obscured by clouds, I was happy to take photos by Lake Yamanaka. Overall, I was about 70% satisfied. The meeting point in the morning was confusing due to various tour buses arriving one after another, so I think it would have been better to have clearer and more noticeable signs.

親日の外国の方々と英語で交流でき、楽しかった。
台湾、マレーシア、シンガポール、オーストラリアの方々と異文化交流ができ良かった。
お抹茶体験を説明できてよかった。富士山は雲がかかって見えなかったが、山中湖畔で、写真が撮れたのでよかった。
全体的には、70パーセントの満足。
朝の集合場所が、色々なツアーバスが次々と来て、迷ったので、もう少し分かりやすい目につきやすい看板などあると良かったと思う。

Since she is Filipino, we participated with 10 people including relatives and friends. Most of the tour guests were from Southeast Asia and had a warm atmosphere. The guide was young and made a great impression with their earnest efforts. The only complaint, if I had to mention one, was that the price was a bit high. I would like to use the tour again next time.

彼女がフィリピン人なので、親戚友人含め10人で参加しました。ツアー客は、ほぼ東南アジアの方でほんわかしてました。ガイドさんは若く一生懸命対応してたのが好印象です。金額が少し高かったのが強いて言えば不満点。次回もツアーを利用したいと思います。

traveled with parents, personally the travel spots in the itinerary is just average for me. Anyway, would like to thank driver and tour guide as we needed to board Shinkansen at 8 pm so they really managed the time for us to catch up with the train.

With a one-day unlimited ride ticket, my goal was to enjoy the night view! On December 16, the weather was cloudy with a temperature of 21°C, so the open bus tour was pleasant with a nice breeze and a panoramic view. Most of the participants were foreigners. Thanks to the prompt support from the guide, we were able to enjoy two courses, adding extra value to our experience in a short amount of time. Since it was a Saturday, it was fully booked, and I shared a seat with someone from Mexico. We communicated while searching on our phones, and I had a wonderful experience, fully enjoying the beautiful night view of Tokyo!

The moment the bus enters the sea is incredibly thrilling! It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun. The guide was wonderful with a smile and detailed explanations. I will come back next year to ride the Sky Duck from Hokkaido.

バスが海に入る瞬間はとてもスリル満天！
初めての体験でしたがたいへん楽しかったです。ガイドさんが笑顔で詳しい説明も素晴らしかったです。また来年北海道からスカイダック乗りに行きます。

I made a reservation because it was trending on TV and social media, and I definitely wanted to experience it. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to have a rare experience. Diving from land to sea was impressive, and the view after getting out to sea was wonderful. I enjoyed seeing the Rainbow Bridge from below and being surrounded by many seagulls while cruising. It was so much fun that I wished I could do it twice.

TVやSNSで話題だったので､是非体験してみたいと思い､予約しました
天気にも恵まれ､滅多に味わえない体験が出来ました
やはり陸から海へのﾀﾞｲﾌﾞは迫力あるし､海に出た後の眺めも素晴しく､rainbow bridgeを下から滑る様に見る事が出来たり沢山のかもめに囲まれながら遊覧するのも良かったです
楽しかったので2周してほしいと思ってしまいました

The service from the tour guides was absolutely wonderful! Both the departure and arrival were on schedule, and the lunch course was stylish and delicious, which made me very satisfied! We were originally planning to participate as a group of three, but unfortunately one person couldn't join us due to health issues at the last minute, so I hope to go together next time!

添乗員さん達の対応がとても素晴らしかったです！出発も到着も予定通り、ランチコースもオシャレで美味しくて大満足でした！今回３人で参加の予定だったのに、直前で体調不良により一人参加出来ず残念だったので、次回一緒に行きたいと思います！

I visited Nikko Toshogu Shrine for the first time after its renovation. It was during the autumn foliage season, so there were quite a lot of people, which would have made it difficult for individuals. However, we were able to view the shrine as a group without waiting in line for tickets, but even an hour and a half felt insufficient. The traffic on Irohazaka was terrible, and unfortunately, we couldn't see Kegon Falls as it was already dark. I participated in a tour in Chinese and English for the first time, and even with just one Japanese person, the perspective changed. It was a great opportunity to study English and feel like I was traveling abroad, making it an enjoyable experience.

日光東照宮を修繕後初めて見ました。紅葉の時期でかなり人手が多いので、個人では大変だったかと思います。団体でチケットなどまだ並ばずに観覧できましたが、滞在時間は1時間半でも足りない感じでした。いろは坂の渋滞はひどく、華厳の滝は残念ながら日没してしまい見れませんでした。中国語、英語のツアーに初めて参加しましたが、日本人1人でも視点が変わり、英語の勉強にもなり、海外旅行気分で、楽しく参加できました。

I have never participated in such a terrible tour. After gathering in Shinjuku, there was no announcement when the bus departed. I had no idea where we were going or how long it would take. Even when we arrived at the destination, there was no information about where we had arrived or when to regroup; everyone was checking on their own. I chose this tour because it was supposed to be in English and Chinese, but there was absolutely no explanation at each sightseeing spot. I regretted not joining a regular Japanese tour instead.

At Toshogu Shrine, the bus parking was a bit far away, and I was relieved that everyone (mostly Chinese) returned safely without any accidents. I participated in this tour thinking it would be nice for my overseas friends, but I was disappointed. I believe this is not just a problem with the guide but a quality control issue with Veltra. If the customers had been Westerners, I think there would have been complaints on the spot, and accidents like getting lost could have occurred.

I hope they work on improving the quality of the tours.

これだけ酷いツアーには参加したことがありません。
新宿集合後、バスが出発しても何のアナウンスもありません。どこに行くのかどのくらい時間が掛かるのか全く分かりません。バスが到着してもどこについたのかいつ再集合かボード、アナウンス全くなく各々確認していました。英語、中国語のツアーとのことで選んだのですが各観光地の説明は全くありません。これなら日本語の普通のツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。
東照宮ではバスの駐車場は少し離れた場所で良くみんな（ほとんどが中国人）無事に事故無く帰ってきたと思いました。
ベルトラさんの海外のツアーに参加して今回は海外の友達にいいかなと思い参加しましたががっかりです。
これはガイドさんの問題でなくベルトラさんの品質管理の問題だと思います。お客が欧米人ならその場で文句が出ていたと思いますしはぐれて帰ってこないなどの事故が起こっていたかと思います。
ツアーの品質改善に取り組んでほしいと思います。

I thought a bus tour would be a great way to efficiently explore Tokyo with friends visiting from abroad, so I searched online and found this open-air tour that offers unlimited rides for a day. We started on the Blue Course at 10:05 AM, got off at Tsukiji, had an early lunch, and visited Tsukiji Honganji Temple. We returned to Marunouchi Mitsubishi Building at 1:20 PM after a restroom break. Next, we took the Red Course departing at 2:05 PM and got off at Asakusa Hanakawado. We visited Senso-ji Temple, enjoyed ningyo-yaki and matcha ice cream on Nakamise Street, and took photos with Tokyo Skytree and the Asahi Headquarters. We returned to Marunouchi again at 4:23 PM. While there wasn't enough time to see everything, we got to view various tourist spots from the bus, and my friends and other international travelers seemed to have a great time. Everyone cheered when we looked up at Tokyo Tower. I think it would be nice to visit the places we wanted to see later. After this, we participated in the open-air night bus tour as well. We were able to communicate with tourists from various countries, and it was the best day ever! I would love to join again!

海外から来た友達と効率よく東京観光をするにはバスツアーがいいなと思い、ネットで探していたら、オープンエアで1日乗り放題のこのツアーを見つけました。私達は10時5分からスタートのブルーコースに乗り、築地で降り、早めの昼食を摂り、築地本願寺を参拝、13時20分築地発で丸の内三菱ビルに戻ってきました。トイレ休憩し、次は14時5分発でレッドコースに乗り、浅草花川戸で降りました。浅草寺参拝、仲見世通りで人形焼や抹茶アイスを食べたり、東京スカイツリーやアサヒ本社屋と一緒に写真を撮りました。そして16時23分発でまた丸の内に戻りました。全て見学するには時間が足りませんが、バスの中からいろいろな観光地を見れて、友達や他の海外旅行者もとても楽しそうでした。特に東京タワーを下から眺めた時は皆さん歓声をあげていました。後日行きたくなった観光地を訪れてもいいと思います。この後私達は同じくオープンエアのナイトバスツアーに参加しました。いろいろな国の観光客とコミュニケーションもとれ、最高の1日でした！また参加したいです！
