Overall this tour was quite disappointing. It started with being sent to the wrong hotel for pick up and then being made to feel like it was our fault that we were where we had been told to be. Not an apology from anyone. The actual tour itself took us to the Tokyo Tower, which can easily be accessed by JR, a tea ceremony that was awkward at best and boring at its worst, after that it was off to the Imperial Palace (well the garden anyway. Most of us chose to lay under the trees for the half hour allocated (again made to feel guilty for not being on the bus early even though we were right in front of it). The lunch was a highlight at the Chinzhano Hotel, restaurant staff were very accommodating and the setting was lovely. After that we headed for a boat tour, the purpose of which I am still uncertain, to say it was boring is an understatement, nevertheless we ended up at Asakusa, which was interesting but not enough time had been allowed to make it worthwhile and then back to Tokyo station to leave the tour. We were not the only ones happy to get off the bus. I would not take this tour again but I would find my own way by JR to the main highlights, it would take far less time and cost a lot less money.

We are using Veltra tours for several years across different continents and countries. All tours are of very high quality and very good value for money. This tour in Tokyo was not an exception.
First of all: itinerary is very well developed. Between each stops bus passing very interesting places. During the whole tour you are keep looking around. Worth mentioning that tour guide Mario speaking fluent English, very knowlegeable and friendly. Bus was very comfortable, good working Fi Wi. Buffet lunch included in the tour was of very high quality, very tasty with big options of meals from different origins.
Tokyo bay is a must see. Spectacular views of Tokyo harbour from the cruise boat.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Since I used it on a midsummer day, everything was hot when I got in, and it was difficult to fasten the seatbelt. However, once we got onto the public road, it was cool, and the guide provided enjoyable commentary, making the time fly by. If I had to wish for something, it would be that the time spent driving in the river was a bit short, so I would have liked a little more of that.
真夏日に利用したため、乗ったときはシート等全てが熱くて、シートベルトするのも大変でしたが、公道へ出ると涼しく、また、ガイドさんが楽しく解説付きでお話してくれるので、あっという間でした。
ただ欲を言えば、川の中での走行が短かったので、もう少し増やしてもらえたらと思いました。

Our first visit to Tokyo and the tour gave us a brief overview of the city. Fortunately we were a small group on the day and this allowed us more contact with the guide. The guide appeared to have good knowledge of Tokyo and the places of interest we visited. Although his English was not great we were able to follow the thread of his presentation. The lunch was good with a great view of the harbour below and the boat trip around the harbour after lunch was also very enjoyable. We felt it was good value for money.

I participated with eight colleagues who came from overseas. Although I usually work in Tokyo, seeing the city from an open-top bus offered a fresh perspective. We were able to enjoy the Tokyo Tower's light-up right beneath it, and I was moved, thinking, "It was this beautiful!"
We traveled from the Shuto Expressway through the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Experiencing the Shuto Expressway and Rainbow Bridge while feeling the wind was a valuable experience. During the one hour of free time, we took photos with the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, enjoyed ice cream, and took a group photo, though we felt a bit rushed for time.
I recommend this experience not only to tourists but also to those working in Tokyo.
海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に8人で参加しました。普段から東京で働いていますが、オープントップバスから見る東京の街は、目線が違うこともあり新鮮。ちょうど東京タワーのライトアップが始まる時間に真下で鑑賞。『こんなにキレイだったんだ!』と感動しました。
首都高からレインボーブリッジを通ってお台場へ。風を感じながらの首都高&レインボーブリッジも貴重な体験です。フリータイムの1時間は、自由の女神像とレインボーブリッジの写真を撮ったり、アイスを食べたり、全員でプルクラを撮ったりと、少し時間が足りなかったくらいでした。
観光客の人たちはもちろん、東京で働いている人にもオススメします。

We participated in this tour blessed with the best weather. Thanks to the advance reservation, the check-in was very smooth, which was a great help. While waiting at the bus stop, a bright red body arrived! My child was extremely excited. Although we are familiar with the streets of Tokyo, the guide provided a thorough explanation, making it very enjoyable. And above all, the open deck made the breeze feel wonderful! This alone made it worth participating. We quickly toured famous spots like Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge in just 50 minutes. In the end, there was spontaneous applause from the participants. It was a wonderful tour.
最高の天気に恵まれた中、参加してみました。
事前予約のかいもあり、受付は大変スムーズでした。とても助かります。
バス停で待っていると、真っ赤に輝くボディーが到着!我が子は大興奮です。
見慣れた東京の街並みですが、ガイドさんが丁寧に案内頂けるので、とても楽しめます。
そして、なんといってもオープンデッキのため、風がとても気持ちいい!これだけでも参加した価値があります。東京タワー、レインボーブリッジっと名所をぐるりと周りあっという間の50分。
最後は参加から自然と拍手喝采。素敵なツアーでした。

The Grand Tour of Tokyo Highlights gives you insight into the historical background of what Tokyo is, the shoguns and the emperors and the cultural achievements of that period, as well as an understanding of what Tokyo is today, a 36 million capital, surprisingly well functioning and hugely impressive.

We have been traveling in Japan for last seven days beginning our tour to Odavara and Hakone mountain trail followed by visit to Kyoto and then to Yokahama and finally to Tokyo. Wanting to get most value of the limited time available at our disposal, we have been exploring options at every place that we visited in Japan and Veltra's one day tour around Tokyo turned out to be the best choice that we did in Tokyo. The tour covers most important places from Imperial palace, Akasuka temple area, fish market and Odiaba cruise with nice lunch included in the itinaray and return journey taking you through all the other interesting places with option to get off for self exploration. Thus covered entire city with good time given at every place for you to absorb the place. Fish market was a surprise in the package and the crab meat turned out to be the best crab we have ever tasted. Do not miss this..
Thank you very much for joining our group and the comments.
We hope that you have enjoyed the stay in Japan.
Hope to see you soon in Japan!
Best regards,

We chose this trip for our first full day in Tokyo. It was a great way to get acquainted with the different parts of the city. Our guide Kaori, or 'Curry' to some, was knowledgable and friendly. Her english was exceptional. Highlights were the Meiji Shrine, Imperial Garden, Asakusa, and the traditional Japanese dance in Ginza as we have never seen anything like it before. Overall i would highly recommend this tour.

Amphibious bus??? I made a reservation online with a sense of wonder. Throughout the journey, the tour guide diligently introduced the scenery, the history of the old streets, and the features of the shrines. Although the cold winter wind made me shiver a bit, the beautiful sights along the way made me temporarily forget the chill. If I have the chance, I would choose to take this ride again in the summer. The Arakawa River, the ducks in the water, and the thrill of splashing into the river—I believe it will be even more enjoyable in the summer. After a 15-minute break, I soaked my feet in a small shop and enjoyed a cup of coffee, feeling gentle and warm. On the way back, we passed through Kameido, and the tour guide provided detailed explanations. It was a delightful journey.
水陸兩用???什麼巴士帶著驚奇的心情,在網上預訂了,一路上導遊努力的介紹風景,古街的歷史,神社的風貌,雖然冬天的冷風,吹的有點發抖,但一路的美景,暫時忘掉寒冷,如果還有機會会選擇夏天再坐玩一次,荒川的河流,水中的水鴨,那衝入河中瞬間的快感,相信在夏日會更加舒服,15分鐘的休息,在小店內泡足浴,喝杯咖啡,溫和溫暖,回程途中經過龜戶,導遊詳細的介紹,一次邂意的旅程
