Greatly planned itinerary.. everything was on time.

The translator spoke softly. Her english was good. Just need to speak louder when using the mic... but in any case... we were able to personally speak to her for clarification.

Excellent choice of locations in this tour

Reviewed by: Amanda, 2018/08/01

We were very satisfied with the choice and number of locations in this tour! Farm Tomita and Shikisai no Oka were particularly breathtaking and the amount of time allotted to explore these places was just right. We wouldn't have been able to visit this many places in one day by public transportation so we highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience and great guide

Reviewed by: Lakshmy Krishnan , 2018/07/18

Overall it was a great tour , well organised and to top it off we got a guide who spoke good English, Rika. She was very good to answer whatever queries we had even though she was not required to. Driver was very careful and drove well.
The rice balls they gave were very tasty. Overall whatever was mentioned in the description was delivered accurately. No surprises . Everything was carried out punctually and smoothly.

Very Organized Tour

Reviewed by: Jean Flores, 2018/07/16

Tour was on time, tour guide has basic English skills but was clear enough in giving tour instructions. Wish we have at least an hour in Biei to take walk of the landscape after the tractor ride. Never the less we are satisfied because the flowers are fully bloomed!
Great job!

Great tour!

Reviewed by: :-), 2018/07/14

This was my first time going to Hokkaido and I was told that traveling around Hokkaido is not as convenient as Tokyo or Osaka due to the limited rail system. We mainly stayed in Sapporo but knew we wanted to check out the flower farms and the blue pond. Since we were not renting a car, we decided to book a tour. We were able to find a tour visiting the exact locations we wanted to see, in addition to a number of other great places we did not know about but made stops to.

The tour made it very convenient to get around to the different locations and our tour guide (Abe) was wonderful. She was friendly, funny, and was able to communicate with us fluently in English! At the end of the tour, she was also able to offer helpful personal recommendations for some things we wanted to do.

Due to the rain from the previous days, the blue pond ended up being a green pond but nonetheless, it was still a beautiful sight to see. For the flower fields, although not all of the flowers were in full bloom, we still enjoyed the gorgeous views.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour! The only point of improvement would be the food provided by the tour (too basic/simple in my opinion), but it didn't matter that much as we visited a number of places to purchase our own food and snacks. Thanks for everything!

Hassle free tour

Reviewed by: Cy R., 2018/07/12

We initially intended to stay overnight in Furano to cover the Furano-Biei leg of our tour. However, coming from Sapporo, we decided it is best if we just do a day tour as transportation in Furano can be quite a challenge if we don't have a rental car. It's a good thing we stumbled upon this offering of Veltra. It was worth every penny (yen) we spent. All instructions were clearly communicated to us, and we didn't find it hard to locate the meet up point. The tour was on time and the guides were very kind. We were well taken care of during the tour and 2 meals were provided.

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: Versanne Uy , 2017/08/04

It is time bounded, in order for us to complete the tour package. It's very nice so everyone out there if you want to spend less and have a great tour enjoy the VELTRA tour package. Mr kobayashi (If I remember his name the tour manager) was very nice and Ms Nishimura was a great tour guide. Thank you also to the Driver for the safety Trip. He drives safely and waited for us patiently.Thank you so much.

Great tour at Furano, Hokkaido

Reviewed by: Tess Fuentes, 2017/08/03

It was my first time to book a tour online and i was not disappointed with Veltra unlike other tour sites. I just followed the instructions given and found the meeting place. We were the only english speaking grp (4 people) and the tour guide would explain the instructions in english. Our experience was great!

Maybe 3-1/2 stars

Reviewed by: rmorita, 2017/07/18

The tour itself goes to two outstanding locations, the Farm Tomita and the Blue Pond. Both of these locations make the tour worthwhile. There are some quibbles however.

Checking in is chaotic. There are several tour groups departing from the same location, so it's noisy and confusing. The tour is booked under and emails come from Veltra, but the tour is operated under a different name (Club Tourism). My tour number was apparently merged with the same tour, but different number, so I had to ask twice about our tour. The first time I was told to wait because the tour sign hasn't been posted yet then later I was told that the tour was merged under a different number. I might have missed the tour since I couldn't find my number. Neither of these changes were explained in the previous emails.

The tour itself is fine, although for this tour, I question whether the stop at the amusement park was necessary. It didn't appear to be much of an attraction and not a good use of time. I recommend that the tractor ride simply be built into the cost of the tour, rather than have it as an option. A little bit of narration during the long rides about the area that we were traveling would have been nice. This was the quietest tour that I have ever been on. I had no idea what town we were in or if there were any points of interest.

The tour guide, Yao-san, was good and very diligent at doing his job. Maybe my expectations were a bit too high, but the tour itself was fine and delivered what was promised. It's just that it could be improved a bit.

Both I and wife were happy to follow this group, well organized and punctual. The tour guide explained in japanese but the assistant translated in simple English but could be understand clearly. Recommended for people who dont drive car, just chosen this 1 day tour . Watch the beautiful scenery and blue pond as well with peace....
