Tokyo
This is our first trip to Mt. Fuji and we love the trip arranged by Taiji-san. We have no problem to communicate with him because he speak very well in English. And he tried to understand our need before start up the trip. He is kind of caring and understanding person.. Thanks for making this wonderful day to all of us!
Dear Florence, thank you very much for your kind comment. The sky was extremely clear on that day and we could have such good view from all the places we went . Everybody seemed tired at the end as we walked quite a lot. Thank you for sending me the pictures, I will use that for my new profile.
We really had a great time to our visit to Mt. Fuji with Taiji and this is our second time to get our tour arrangement with him. He suggest all the best place to visit aside from the given places to visit. We will definitely contact him again with for our future guests.
Thank you Jon for your comment with the pictures. I was very happy to see you again I will keep on getting more and more data base of the sites and best places to choose for each season and hopefully having more chance in the future.
A very informative tour and I learned a lot in the span of four hours walking with Yoshimi. Yanaka has this old world charm where the old temples are still preserved and it is very quiet and peaceful town too. It is a contrast to other parts in Tokyo i.e. Shinjuku or Shibuya where there are all hustle and bustle.
After the tour ended, I was fascinated with the historical and facts shared by Yoshimi. I went back to the hotel and did my own research via Google. This tour definitely piqued my interest in Japanese's culture, lifestyle and the country as a whole, as I already start planning on my next trips to Japan.
Thank you for joining and excellent review!
We truly appreciate it!
I booked the bus for a specific day, unfortunately that day was wet. The bus takes a great route around three different areas. we stayed on for the whole three journeys. the audio becomes a little repetitive when you travel the same roads. However the bus was great you sit up top so that you have the best view of the city. the down side is that if it is raining, you get wet. you are supplied with a wet weather poncho to wear which keeps out most of the weather but they blow around and inhibit the view. If I had of known this I would have not booked a specific day but an open ticket.
We are 9 persons with grandparents & children; Mr Phang is speaking mandarin, as we requested 6 hours private tour to visit some places:
1. Shimokitazawa Area
2. Ameyoko Market
3. Harujuku- Kiddy land
4. Rikuen Garden
Mr Phang is very good tour leader, he guides us how to walk around Ameyoko Market.
My families feel very comfortable to have a tour arranged, with very reasonable price compared with other website. Recommended to all travelers!
i bought the vouchers on line, and was told to exchange for tickets at the office at skytree or mitsubishi building. we walked for 3 miles to get to the skytree office and it was closed. we went to the skytree station as the map told us, but that was not the stop. the bus was good once we finally got on it
I absolutely adored this tour! You really get to see so much of Tokyo for such a small price AND with lunch included! I learned a lot about the beautiful city, this tour was excellent and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant! The only thing I was bothered by was how there would be people who would constantly make us late, and I completely understand that it isn't the travel agency or the tour guides fault if people decide to be inconsiderate! Our tour guide was always clear at what time we were suppose to be back on the bus, but if you are booking this trip please be considerate of other people and don't be that person holding everyone back! Overall a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Tour and how much we covered in the day. It is rather. Long day but well worth it. The tour guide provided many interesting and educational insights into not only locations but also cultural explanations we hadn’t known. I wished we had some more time here and there but as it was the day was full. The lunch was fantastic and in a very cool location as was the tea ceremony. I think the cruise is the thing I cared for least but it was an interesting means of transport to get to the Akasuka temple. We have booked another tour and are looking forward to it tomorrow!
I really enjoyed it! I had a great time. I got a good overveiw of the whole city and saw parts of it I wanted to explore more:))
Although, it rained our ENTIRE tour, we still had a good time. They provided plastic rain jackets which were great and we just stayed in the bus the entire trip around the city. Because the tickets are 24 hours, we were able to hop back on the next morning and actually see some sites OFF the bus. I forgot to print out my online ticket, but the ladies were able to work with the screenshot I showed on my phone. overall great experience.
Tour guide was knowledgeable and informative. Hotel pickup was timely.
The tour guides from the morning to afternoon tour were great. Though the weather wasnt good yet the tour conducted so well. Grayline company is highly recommended.
Excellent guide. Superb Japanese lunch. Could not fault
Very kind and knowledgeable Nobu san, the tour guide. Explained everything in an interesting way.
We enjoyed it very much --had a great time --the tour guide was --plan to come back soon
Okay. A fair bit of time in the morning waiting but that's to be expected in such a big city where everyone is coming from different places. Wouldn't really recommend for solo travelers. A little bit isolating at lunch as everyone is put to sit with their groups. Other tours would be better if you're on your own, and the spots are easily accessible on your own by subway.
As most things in Tokyo and Japan in general, it was on time, clean and quite organised. Pick up point was not hard to find even coming from Ikebukuro. English definitely available as one of the languages on the head set. The stops and collection points were all properly, clearly identified. Really, it is the best way to see Tokyo! nothing beats it.
Well organised. Shame Imperial Palace Garden is closed on Mondays!
Morning guide was terrific! Afternoon guide was very good. Would not hesitate to recommend.
we delighted to have been on a well-planned Volta trip where we had a chance to visit the palace gardens and the Fish Market and Asakusa Temple and ofiba cruise and shopping mall.. Despite the rain we managed to exhaust the sites with good guidance and precise time planning by Ari and Lyz.
The meal was varied and anyone could choose the dishes at will. The view from the window was amazing The peak of the trip was visiting the fish market where we tasted the best of the wonderful fish of Japan. A warm recommendation to visit the petmo shop in store in Odaiba opposite the Statue of Liberty
The view from the window was amazing
I highly recommend Veltra !!!
Thank you for joining our tour and review.
We are happy to hear that!
We hope you have great days in Japan.
Best regard

Guide excellent. A lot of walking, but a good Tokyo first getting acquainted
Took awhile to locate the guide at the port. Would have been easier to find with a more prominent sign. We had 7 people with luggage which completely filled the van. Ended up taking the luggage to our hotel first before starting the tour. Despite the somewhat rocky start due to the van size for our party we ended up having a good day. I would suggest no more than 5 people for that size van when you consider the luggage. The guide was wonderful and went out of her way to ensure we had a good tour and lunch spot. Would do again but with less people.
Dear Emerson, thank you very much for booking with us and all apologizes for the inconvenience whit the size of the van.
The biggest car can actually fit all luggage you had. However we've mismanaged and brought you the second biggest van. We are now operating all tours from Yokohama (osanbashi terminal) using the largest car, but please excuse us again and thank you for your honest comment.
Here's the message from your tour guide Akemi

It was really a nice to meet you and I am glad that you enjoyed the trip after all
A fun afternoon sightseeing Tokyo. Would recommend to anyone. We were picked up from hotel and taken to meet our guide Yuko.
The best tour we took in Tokyo our guide Mia was excellent her English was very good and her knowledge was excellent.
It was my first tour that I attended in Tokyo, although I had been in Tokyo several times and it was really nice tour for half day. I traveled with my father for graduation I mean it was graduation trip. We had a good time especially my father liked it very much. Particularly the cruise part, my father really enjoyed it even it is just 10 or 15 minutes. As for me it was 2nd time so it is normal for me. I also enjoyed the tour. First we went to imperial palace and saw imperial palace the time that we spent there was not so much there just enough to take pictures. Then we went to asakusa, it is old temple or shrine in japan with a lot of shops around but not cheap. We went to tsukiji fish market, nothing special. Then to odaiba built island with mini statue of liberty and amazing view, had lunch there they provided halal lunch box for us which is really I am thankful for. In odaiba we took great pictures and videos. After we travelled in a nice boat from odaiba to Hinode Pier. Then they dropped us in shibuya that we wanted to go and see famous shibuya crossing and monument of hachiko the loyal dog. Thus, it was really nice tour we enjoyed ourselves. The staff were also nice people and helped us much, especially the tour assistant Levin from Philippine. He is a really nice guy and outgoing, willing to help the customers.
Thank you for joining our tour,
We are happy to hear that! We hope you have a lot of memories in Japan
Lady Tour Guide - Eiko San was really good who conducted d 1st lap in d morning.
Afternoon Guide - a Gentleman was not that efficient. Next time suggest U allocate one Guide for d Full Day Tour. Thanks.
A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.
One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.
It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.
Fantastic tour seeing all the must see attractions with a brilliant english speaking guide .the meal was amazing and the tour was very good value
I took my overseas friends with me. It was my first time too, but they seemed very satisfied!
Since we were on the second floor of the open bus, the traffic lights and signs were right there...! The Rainbow Bridge was breathtaking!
It was a bit rainy, so it felt like Splash Mountain, which was fun. (laughs)
The guide was wonderful as well.
I want to ride again!
海外の友達を連れて行きました。
わたしも初めてだったのですが、とても満足してくれたようです!
オープンバスの二階なので信号機や標識がすぐそこに…!
レインボーブリッジは圧巻でした!
雨が若干降っていたのでスプラッシュマウンテンみたいで面白かったです。笑
ガイドのお姉さんも素敵でした。
また乗りたいです!
