All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I used to work during the New Year's holiday, but this time I was able to take a break, and I thought it would be nice to spend it somewhere other than home. So, I suddenly decided to go to Hokkaido in winter. When I visited Hokkaido at other times of the year, I would rent a car to get around, but this time, since it was winter, I was looking for a tour. I found a budget-friendly tour that was available even on New Year's Day, so I immediately signed up. Participating in the tour allowed me to fully enjoy winter in Hokkaido, and I was very satisfied. Both the guide and the driver were very kind, which made me feel at ease during the trip. I am convinced that participating in a tour in winter Hokkaido expands the enjoyment. Thank you very much for everything from New Year's Day.

今まで年末年始は仕事でしたが、今回から休めるようになり、思い切って、自宅とは別の場所で過ごしてみたい…ということで、冬の北海道へ行くことに急遽決めました。冬以外で北海道へ行く場合は、レンタカーを借りて行動していましたが、今回は冬ということで、ツアーを探していました。そうしたところ、格安でしかも元旦でも可能なツアーがあり、即参加を申し込みました。参加してみて、冬の北海道を満喫できる旅でとても満足でした。ガイドさん、運転手さんともにとても親切な方で、参加していて安心でした。冬の北海道の場合はツアー参加することで、楽しみの幅もひろがると確信しました。元旦から本当にありがとうございました。

I was taken on a tour despite the possibility that we might not see many animals. In fact, I discovered many endemic species and was truly moved! Thank you very much! I had a great time!

あまり生物が見られないかも知れないという中、ツアーに連れていって下さいました。実際、沢山の固有種を発見し、感動しました！本当にありがとうございました！とても楽しませていただきました！

New Year's Day sightseeing in Kyoto was popular. Many people returned to visit the shrines. By the way, according to the guide, it was "still manageable."
If you're looking for a quick one-day experience in Kyoto, this is the perfect course to recommend!
Two guides accompanied us, taking turns. Both were very friendly and provided heartfelt hospitality, even taking photos at key spots. Their ability to adapt to the traffic situation was impressive, truly professional.
Since I live overseas, I definitely plan to use Veltra again when I return to Japan for sightseeing. If I can request a specific guide, I hope to ask for the same person again.

元旦の京都人気スポット観光。人手が戻ってきて大勢の人が参拝に訪れていました。ちなみに、ガイドさんによると「まだまし」だそうで…
サクッと京都を一日体験という目的ならば最高のコースでお勧めです！
二人のガイドさんが交代でついてくださいました。お二人ともとても気さくに接してくださり、要所で写真撮影をしてくださるなど、心のこもるおもてなしに感謝！そして道路の混雑状況に柔軟に対応されるところは、さすがプロです。
私は海外在住なので、また日本へ戻って観光する際には是非Veltraを利用させていただくつもりです。ガイドさんの指名ができるなら、また同じ方にお願いできればいいな。

I was unable to take this bus from New Year's Day. Despite having made a reservation through this system and receiving a confirmation voucher from the bus company, the bus did not arrive even though I was waiting at the designated boarding location before the specified departure time. When I called the company, I couldn't get through, and after a while, I received a call saying they would check on it. In the end, I had to take a taxi along the same route as the bus (of course, at the bus company's expense). If you plan to join a tour with this company, please be cautious.

元旦からこのバスに乗れませんでした。
このシステムで予約して、バス会社から確認のバウチャーが来ていたにも関わらず、指定の出発時間の前から、指定の乗車場所で待っていたにも関わらず、バスは来ませんでした。
会社に電話をしても繋がらず、しばらくしてから確認をしますとの電話が来ました。
結局はバスのコースと同じところをタクシーで回る事になりました。（もちろんバス会社の負担で）
この会社のツアーに参加予定の方は注意して下さい。

I wanted to experience activities on Iriomote Island and also go snorkeling at Barasu Island, so I made a reservation here. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, the activities at Barasu Island were canceled, but I was able to choose between a full-day cancellation, a half-day cancellation, sightseeing, or other activities.

I received the cancellation notice around 1 PM the day before (I was delayed in returning the call due to my own circumstances), but they made the decision early, so I was able to spend my time without worry. Since it was a trip during the New Year holidays, I was informed that restaurants and supermarkets around the meeting point at the port would be closed, and that there might not be any bento available at the supermarket during the New Year. This valuable information allowed me to purchase a bento at a supermarket that was open that day.

We did canyoning in the morning and mangrove canoeing in the afternoon. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, to the point that you wouldn't believe they were a newcomer.

We were able to take a shower after each activity, which warmed us up.

They provide marine shoes, but you will need to return them after arrival and switch to your own footwear, so I think it would be good to have flip-flops or something that can get wet. They took a lot of great photos for us, which were wonderful and ones we couldn't have taken ourselves. (The photos can be sent via LINE.)

There are plenty of other activities available, so I want to go back to Iriomote Island! I would like to request PIPI again! This is a fantastic shop that I can recommend to everyone!

西表島のアクティビティを体験したい、尚且つバラス島でシュノーケリングがしたくてこちらを申し込みました。
結果は天候不良の為、バラス島でのアクティビティは中止になりましたが、1日キャンセルか半日キャンセル、観光、別のアクティビティを選ぶことができました。

中止の連絡は前日の13時頃に連絡があり（こちらの都合で折り返しの連絡は遅くなりました）、早めに判断してくださったので不安なく過ごせました。年末年始の旅行だったので、集合場所の港周辺の飲食店やスーパーが閉まっていること、スーパーでは年始はお弁当は販売していないかも・・という貴重な情報も教えていただけたので、その日のうちに営業しているスーパーでお弁当を購入することができました。

私たちは午前キャニオニング、午後マングローブカヌーでした。
ガイドさんは移住者とは思えないぐらいに知識が豊富な方でした。

アクティビティ毎にシャワーを浴びることができ、体が温まりました。

マリンシューズは貸してもらえますが、到着後返却して自分の履物に履き替えることになるので、濡れてもいいビーサンなどがあるといいと思いました。
写真も沢山撮ってもらえて、自分たちでは撮れない素敵な写真ばかりでした。（写真はLINEに送ってもらえます）

他のアクティビティも豊富なので、また西表島に行きたい！PIPIさんでお願いしたい！みなさんにご紹介できるはなまるなショップさんです。

At Karato Market, while it was cold, I took a bite while standing in front of a slightly open shop, and a man in his 40s came over and yelled, "Hey! Go eat over there!" I thought it was terrible towards the people in their 60s. Since we didn't understand, it would have been nice if he had at least said something like, "I would like you to eat over there." There was no place to eat, and there were few restrooms, so it was a tough experience in the cold.

唐戸市場で寒い中、少しだけ空いてる店の前で一口、
立ち食いをしたら、40代位のお店の人が来て
《おい！あっちへ行って食え！》と怒鳴られました。
60代の人達に向かって酷いと思います。私達がわからなかったので、せめて《あちらで食べて欲しいとか》言ってくれたら良いのに・・。食べる場所は無いし、トイレも少なく寒い中辛い思いをしました。

The guide's instructions were great. The pace was a bit fast, but we were able to return earlier than the scheduled time for Jomon Sugi. I also appreciated the photo opportunities at various points.

ガイドさんの案内がよかったです。
少しペースは早かったですが、縄文杉時間より早く戻って来れました。ポイントポイントでの写真もありがたかったです。

I was scheduled to participate on December 30, but due to bad weather, I tried to change it to January 1, and they kindly accepted my request. Furthermore, when I realized that January 1 would also have bad weather and requested to cancel, they accepted that as well and even said, "Please consider us again next time."

I understand that for the service provider, accepting a cancellation after a change is not a pleasant situation. Even though it’s understandable for customers to feel frustrated, they graciously accepted my cancellation.

I can only assume that if I had participated, I would have enjoyed a wonderful service. I apologize for the cancellation.

12/30に参加予定も悪天候で1/1に変更しようとした時も快く受け入れていただけました。
さらに1/1も悪天候な事がわかり、キャンセルを申し入れたところそれも受け入れていただき、さらに「またの機会にお願いします」とも言っていただけました。
催行会社的には変更の上のキャンセルで気分の良いものではないのはわかります。一言愚痴ぐらい言いたくなる顧客の行動なのに気持ちよくキャンセルを受け入れてくださいました。
おそらくなのですが、参加していれば楽しいサービスが受けられたかと推察します。
キャンセル申し訳ありませんでした。

I participated in a tour on December 31. In many tours I've been on, there is usually one guide who leads from start to finish, but in this tour, it felt like the guests were moving around as if being passed along to different guides for each segment, such as gathering, moving, and participating. The coordination was quite good, and there were few issues. However, that doesn't mean there were no problems at all. While the location of the dining venue was indicated, there were times when I didn't know where to go inside. Additionally, depending on the guide, there were moments when I felt a lack of enthusiasm. Overall, there were few difficulties, and I enjoyed myself, but I believe it can't compare to a tour where one guide is responsible for entertaining the participants from start to finish.

12月31日にツアー参加しました。
今までの多くのツアーでは一人の添乗員が最初から最後まで案内することが多かったのですが、このツアーではツアーの各部、集合、移動、参加など各部の担当添乗員にリレーするかのように客が動いていく感じでした。なかなかの連携で困ることは少なかったです。ですが、困らない事が無かったかというとそういうわけではありませんでした。食事会場の場所は案内されるものの、中のどこに行けばいいかわからないとかありました。また、担当添乗員次第ではやる気がないと感じる場面もありました。
全体的には困ることも少なく、楽しめましたが、一人の添乗員が最初から最後まで参加者を責任持って楽しませるツアーには勝てないと思いました。

I encountered plants, insects, crabs, and even wild boars that I had never seen before, and it was quite enjoyable even for an adult. It was cloudy, so I couldn't see the stars, but I would like to come back to Ishigaki to see them next time. I participated on New Year's Eve, and it turned out to be a great experience to end the year. Thank you very much.

見たことない植物、虫、カニ、イノシシまで出会えて、大人でも結構楽しかったです。曇っていて星が見えなかったので、今度また星を見るために石垣に来たいと思います。大晦日の参加でしたが、年越し最後に良い経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

Thanks to our driver, Mr. Kobayashi, we had an incredibly enjoyable and wonderful trip. In addition to the major tourist spots we had requested in advance, he taught us a lot about the unique flowers of Ishigaki Island, helped us choose various takeout gourmet options for drinks in our hotel room, took photos of us at Instagram-worthy spots, brought us to a delicious fruit juice shop, and even took us to buy tasty sata andagi right after they opened. I truly felt it was a great decision to ask for this service. It was not just a simple taxi charter; we received a proper sightseeing tour, and I am very grateful for that. It was a birthday trip for my mother, and she was also very delighted. Thank you very much!

ドライバーの小林さんのお蔭でとっても楽しい最高の旅になりました。あらかじめリクエストしていた主要観光スポットのほか、石垣島ならではのお花をたくさん教えていただいたり、ホテルでの部屋飲み用のテイクアウトグルメもいろいろ一緒に選んでいただいたり、インスタ映えするスポットで写真を撮っていただいたり、美味しいフルーツジュースのお店に連れて行っていただいたり、美味しいサーターアンダギーをオープン直後に買いに行くことができたり、本当にお願いして良かったと思いました。いわゆるただのタクシーのチャーターではなく、しっかりと観光ツアーをしていただき大感謝です。母の誕生日旅行だったのですが、母も大喜びしてくれました。ありがとうございました！

As we made our way through the dark jungle, relying on the light of our flashlights, we discovered frogs, lizards, crabs, and even coconut crabs on the beach... and we spotted a rare wild boar on the road!

Everyone in the tour worked together, and we were able to see many creatures from the Yaeyama Islands.

Our knowledgeable guide shared a lot of information, so even though it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, we had a great time.

I highly recommend this for adventure and nature lovers!

ライトの灯りを頼りに暗いジャングルを進むと、カエル、トカゲ、カニ、ビーチではヤシガニを発見‥車道にはレアなイノシシも！
ツアー参加者みんなで協力して、たくさんの八重山の生き物たちに会えました♪

知識豊富なガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくれるので、曇っていて星が見えなくても、充分楽しめました。

冒険&自然好きの方にオススメです！

The driver and guide were both pleasant, and I was able to enjoy a fun day.

They shared stories related to the area along the way, which made it enjoyable.

Also, it seems convenient that it's possible to leave the tour at certain points.

運転手さん、ガイドさんとも感じが良く、楽しく1日を終えることができました。

途中途中でその土地にゆかりのある話しをして下さり楽しむことができました。

また、途中でツアーを抜けることも可能とのことで使い勝手も良さそうです。

I could see a nice view of the precipitous cliff at Manzamou.

I enjoyed Churaumi Aquarium. I thought it was not enough time to see all of it.

Lastly, I joined a Sanshin Live at the restaurant. It was quite nice.

The tour conductor was working hard. She even played the Sanshin.

I had a good time on this bus tour.

Indeed, winter in Okinawa tends to have cloudy and rainy weather. Currently, rental car prices in Okinawa are soaring, so a bus tour might be a good option for a day. The advantage of a bus tour is that the guide shares insights about Okinawa's culture and history, which is very educational.

やはり冬の沖縄は、曇り雨の天気が続きます。今沖縄ではレンタカー料金が高騰しているので1日程度ならバスツアーでもいいと思います。バスツアーの利点はガイドさんが沖縄の文化や歴史などを語ってくださるので勉強になります。

The guide named Mr. Son kindly introduced the culture and souvenirs. It was great that the schedule was on time. I would like to participate again in the summer.

孫さんという名前のガイドさんがと丁寧に文化とお土産を紹介してくれた。スケジュールは時間通りにできてよかった。夏の時もまた参加したい

The guide's explanations were exquisite, and I enjoyed walking along Midosuji, which I usually commute on, thinking, "Is it really like this?" Riding on the highway felt like a roller coaster due to the height of the vehicle. It was great that the weather was clear. My elderly parents, who came from afar, also said it was beautiful! I would love to ride again.

ガイドさんの説明も絶妙で、普段通勤で歩いている御堂筋も、そうなのか？という感じで楽しめました。
高速道路を疾走するのも、車高があるためジェットコースターみたい。晴れていたのでよかったです。遠方から来ていた高齢の両親もきれいでよかっ　た！とのこと。また乗りたいです。

We gathered at 8:30 and had a tight schedule visiting Ryukyu Village, Manza Beach, Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and Okashi Goten, but the day flew by in no time. The time spent at each location was a bit short, but given the itinerary, it was unavoidable, and we still managed to enjoy each spot thoroughly. We ended with a course that included steak at this price. Since the entrance fees for both Churaumi Aquarium and Ryukyu Village are included, I think it's a great deal. I appreciated how the guide kept us engaged with interesting stories and made efforts to ensure we adhered to the schedule; it must have been challenging.

8:30に集合し、琉球村、万座毛、美ら海、古宇利島、お菓子御殿と、タイトなスケジュールでしたが、あっという間に１日が終わりました。
その場その場での滞在時間は少し短めですが、これだけの行程を楽しもうと思えば仕方ないし、それでも、そこをしっかり楽しめました。
最後ステーキ付きのコースにして、この値段。美ら海も琉球村も入場料込みなので、お得なコースだと思います。
ガイドさんは、飽きさせないように話したり、また、時間厳守を伝えるために工夫したり、大変だと思いました。

Shirakawa-go covered in snow was amazing!
I learned stories and photography spots that you can only hear on the tour, and I was able to take great photos.

For lunch, not only was the Hida beef delicious, but the rice was surprisingly chewy and tasty!

雪の白川郷は最高でした！
ツアーでしか聞けないお話や撮影スポットを
教えてもらい、いい写真が撮れました

お昼ご飯は飛騨牛はもちろんのこと、お米がびっくりするくらい
もちもちで美味しかったです！！

I was apprehensive about participating since mountain climbing experience was a must and it would be a test of physical strength. Waking up early was tough, but the flat trolley path was long, and it wasn't as difficult as I had expected. I believe a major factor was that we were fortunate with the weather, as it didn't rain at all. Additionally, the guide was great at taking photos, which made it enjoyable.

登山経験がマストで体力勝負ということで、どんなふうにきついのか怯えて参加。
早起きがしんどいのはあったが、フラットなトロッコ道時間が長く、思っていたほどのきつさではなかった。天候に恵まれて雨が一切降らなかったというのが、大きな一因と考えられるが、ガイドさんの写真撮影が上手で楽しかった。

Fortunately, it was a clear night for the operation. The illumination was, of course, good! Even more so, the thoughtful comments from the tour guide and the comfortable driving techniques of the driver were very good! I will definitely use this service again next time.

幸運にも晴天の夜での運行。イルミネーションも勿論good!でした。それ以上に添乗員さんの気の利いたコメント∩ドライバーさんの心地よいドライブテクニックもvery good!次回も利用させて頂きます。4649

This was my third time diving in Ishigaki Island. On the last day, I had been on island tours to Taketomi Island and Iriomote Island, but I was hoping to find a land tour that would drop me off at the airport. I was lucky to come across this option.

The meeting time at the bus terminal was just right, not too early, and I was really grateful that I could store my heavy luggage in the bus's storage space.

Above all, the guide was amazing! Thanks to the bus guide, I had a wonderful time filled with smiles on my last day in Ishigaki Island. I was able to learn about the highlights and the history of various places.

I viewed Momorin Temple from the bus window, so I prepared in advance by renting a bicycle to visit. This temple is accessible by bike from the city center.

ダイビングで3回目の石垣島、最終日これまで竹富島や西表島への離島ツアーでしたが、陸のツアーで最後空港で降ろしてもらえないかなぁ、そんな都合のいいことないかなと探していたら、願ったり叶ったりのこちらへたどり着きました。
バスターミナルの集合も早過ぎることなくちょうどいい、重たい荷物はバスの預けスペースに入れてもらえるので、とっても助かりました。
何よりガイドさんが、素晴らしい！！
バスガイドさんのおかげで、石垣島のラスト笑顔の絶えない楽しい時間になりました。
見どころをおさえた、また各地の歴史についても、
お話を聞けました。
桃林寺は車窓からなので、事前にレンタサイクルで予習して行きました。このお寺は市街地から自転車で行ける場所です。

On the morning course, you can also get off at the airport on the way back, so those returning on an afternoon (evening) flight should be able to participate on the final day. It would be nice to have the tickets for Sefa Utaki prepared in advance, as they can be added to the participation fee. I've visited Sefa Utaki multiple times and have listened to detailed explanations from the guide, so I didn't have any issues, but I think it's better for first-time visitors to choose a guided tour. Okinawa World’s Gyokusendo Cave was beautiful and impressive. The Eisa show was also great. Gyokusendo Cave can get crowded depending on the timing, so if you don't keep track of the schedule, you might not make it to the meeting time.

午前中のコースで、帰りは空港下車もできるので、午後（夕方）便で帰る方は最終日参加も出来そうです。
斎場御嶽のチケットは参加料に加えても良いから、先に用意して欲しいですね。
私は何回も斎場御嶽に訪れていて、ガイドさんの詳しい解説を聞いているから、特に問題は無かったけど、初めて行く方はガイド付きを選ぶ方が良いと思います。
おきなわワールドの玉泉洞は美しくて感動しました。エイサーショーも良かったです。玉泉洞はタイミングで混み合うので、スケジュール感を持って見学しないと、集合時間に間に合わないかもです。

I'm concerned about the differences from the advertisement. Lake Shikotsu is not included in the itinerary. Cape Earth is closed in winter and was omitted, but wasn't this known from the time of booking? The sightseeing ended significantly earlier than scheduled, at 4 PM, and we headed back. The guide was pleasant, which was a relief.

広告内容との違いが気になります。支笏湖は行程に含まれません。地球岬は冬季通行止めで省略ですが、予約時点からから分かっていたことなのでは？行程より大幅に早く、16時で観光は終わり、帰路に着きました。ガイドさんが感じ良かったのが救いです。

Shirakawa-go covered in snow was very beautiful. The guide shared hidden spots that regular tourists don't visit and recommended local souvenirs, allowing us to enjoy the experience efficiently. The meals also let us savor local flavors, which was satisfying. I thought the free time might be too long, but it turned out to be just the right amount. I would recommend this to anyone traveling from Kanazawa to Shirakawa-go and Hida Takayama.

雪の白川郷はとても美しかったです。
ガイドさんが一般の観光客は行かない穴場のスポットやおすすめの土産物などを教えて下さり、効率よく最高の楽しみ方ができました。食事も地元ならではの味覚を味わうことができて満足でした。
自由時間が長すぎるのではと思っていましたが実際はちょうど良い配分でした。
金沢から白川郷、飛騨高山に行かれる方にはお勧めしたいです。

Even as beginners in canoeing and trekking, we had a great time. We are very grateful to our guide, Y, who kindly taught us various things and took many photos for us, including our elementary school children. Thank you very much!

カヌーやトレッキング初心者の我々でも楽しめました。
小学生の子供たちにも親切に色々教えて頂いたり、写真をたくさん撮っていただいたガイドのYさんにはとても感謝しております。
ありがとうございました！

A packed day! It was a hard schedule, but we were able to efficiently visit famous tourist spots. Each island had a representative who responded promptly, making it a stress-free day.

1日盛りだくさん！ハードスケジュールでしたが、効率よく有名な観光地を回れました。
各島では担当の方がそれぞれテキパキと対応してくれて、ストレスなしの1日でした。

I had to give up my trip to Ishigaki Island once due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I challenged myself to try again. I was able to enjoy a leisurely family trip exploring the islands and immersing ourselves in nature. I was surprised at how calm the water buffalo were.

In the morning, we went canoeing. In the afternoon, we were taken care of on a snorkeling tour. The weather was wonderful that day, and the scenery was beautiful! I was impressed by the amazing location where we had the canoeing experience.

In the afternoon, we moved to experience snorkeling. I was hopeful to see sea turtles, but there were no signs of them, and I was starting to give up. Just before the end, unexpectedly, we saw three of them! It became an unforgettable experience. I definitely hope to participate again next time. The staff were all wonderful people. Thank you very much for this experience.

午前中にカヌー。午後からシュノーケリングのツアーでお世話になりました。天気もこの日は素晴らしく、とても良い景色でした！
カヌー体験させていただく場所のロケーションが素晴らしく感動しました。
昼からは移動してシュノーケリングを体験させていただきました。運よければウミガメ見れると言うことで、期待していましたが、全然入る気配がなく諦めかけていた。終了間際にまさかの3匹！忘れられない体験になりました。次回も必ず参加希望です。スタッフの方も素敵な方ばかりでした。このたびはありがとうございました。

I made a reservation in the fall, but it was canceled due to the organizing company's circumstances. I had been wanting to go for a long time, and despite my concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, I boarded the ship with my child for Christmas.

Thanks to our thorough cold weather preparations, the sea breeze didn't feel harsh, and we enjoyed the scenery. We saw the Asuka departing for a dinner cruise, and the night view of Minato Mirai, which I usually see from the car, looked different from the sea as we gazed up at the Tsubasa Bridge and the Bay Bridge. The proximity of the Daikoku Pier and factories from the ship made them appear interestingly different.

The captain's explanations were easy to understand and packed with information about the surrounding factories. It was a fun experience that passed in no time. We were able to take many beautiful photos of the night view, creating wonderful memories.

秋に予約したのですが、主宰会社の都合でキャンセルに。
行きたいなーとずっと思っていて、コロナの流行も気になりつつも、クリスマスに親子で乗船しました。
防寒対策をしっかりしていたせいか、海風も辛く感じず、景色を堪能しました。
ディナークルーズに出港する飛鳥を見送り、いつも見ているみなとみらいの夜景も、車で通過するつばさ橋やベイブリッジを海から見上げ、大黒ふ頭や工場も、船から見ると距離が近くていつもと違って見えて面白かったのです。
船長さんのお話も分かりやすく、周辺の工場についての情報も満載でした。楽しく、あっという間の時間でした。
夜景のキレイな写真も沢山とることができて、いい思い出になりました。
