All Reviews for Bus Tours

Lunch spots were crowded everywhere, and individuals had to wait in line, but it was really great that our tour included meals. The highlights that could have been confusing were explained by our guide, which was fantastic. The Shirakawa-go bus terminal on Saturday was packed with tourists, and it seemed like buying bus tickets would be quite a challenge. I felt that coming on a tour was definitely the right choice!

昼食はどこも混雑していて、個人で来られた方は行列ができてましたが、ツアーに食事がついているのでほんと良かったです。
迷ってしまいそうな見どころも、ガイドさんから教えていただき最高でした。
土曜日の白川郷のバスターミナルは観光客でいっぱいで、バスチケット買うのも大変そうに思えました。
ツアーで来たのは正解だったな！っと思いました。

You can efficiently visit the tourist spots in Shodoshima. There was plenty of time to stop at each location. The bus guide's explanations were clear and fluent, and despite the loud conversations from a group seated at the back of the bus, she professionally recited a passage from the novel "Twenty-Four Eyes." On the way back, you can also get off at the International Hotel, allowing you to visit Saikoji Temple, the Maze Town, and Angel Road.

小豆島の観光地を効率よく廻れます。各見学先での立ち寄り時間も充分でした。バスガイドさんの説明は、明瞭で、淀みなく、車内の後方に座っていた中華圏グループの大声での話にもめげずに、「二十四の瞳」の小説の一節を暗唱する姿はプロフェッショナルでした。帰りは国際ホテルも下車可能ですので、西光寺、迷路の町、エンジェルロードにも行けます。

Not very friendly.
The boarding area is hard to find, and not having a company phone number to make inquiries is a big problem.

It's not acceptable to not receive a confirmation call even when the time has come.

あまり親切ではない。
乗り場は分かりにくいし、会社の電話番号がないから問い合わせできないのは大問題

時間になっても確認の電話もないのはダメだろ

The tour guide was very good at speaking and didn't waste any time with unnecessary talk. There was a foreign language interpreter. The driver was friendly, which made me feel safe getting on the bus.

添乗員さんが話しうまいです。無駄な話はしません。
外国語通訳さんがいました。
運転手さんが感じがよく安心してバスに乗れました。

I wanted to visit the filming location at Kamino Iro Mi Kumanoza Shrine and was looking for a tour, but there were none available. I found a comment about a tour for foreigners, and the driver was also a foreigner, with only one Japanese person in the group. I was worried that if I got lost while wanting to explore the walking paths at Takachiho Gorge, I might not be able to return. However, I felt more anxious about renting a car, so I decided to take the bus instead. I saved a photo of the bus number and its features (this time it was blue, which made it easy to identify). I made sure to confirm the meeting time every time and participated alone. The driver was Japanese, and the guide spoke three languages, which was a relief. During lunch, I met someone from my hometown who had their trip postponed due to snow the day before, and we agreed that we should travel while we are still able to move!

Although the lunch provided on the tour often differed from the photos, I was surprised to find that it even included alcohol for such a reasonable price. There were some areas of the walking path at Takachiho Gorge under construction due to the typhoon, and I mistakenly thought we could ride the shuttle bus multiple times. My companion and I ended up getting on a different tour bus. I felt that it would have been better if the guide had explained, "We will meet here at this time to take the shuttle bus back to the bus area." Additionally, there was a woman listening to music without headphones. There were two instances of people not adhering to the meeting time, and when it was time to board the bus, they didn’t apologize, which felt quite natural to them. I think it would be better to firmly communicate at the beginning that "In Japan, if you are late for the meeting time, you will be left behind!" I would like to visit again after the construction on the walking path is completed.

映画撮影場所の上色見熊野座神社に行ってみたくてツアーを探していたものの他になく、コメントで外国人向けツアー.ドライバーも外国の方で日本人は1人きり等あり、高千穂峡で遊歩道周りたいのに迷って乗り遅れたら帰れないかもと不安でしたが、レンタカーの方が不安で帰りは寝ていられると、バスの番号と特徴(今回青で分かりやすい)を写真に保管.毎回集合時間さえ必ず確認しようと独りで参加。ドライバーさんは日本人·ガイドさんも3ヶ国話されたのでひと安心。昼食時に前日雪で中止でずらされた方が同郷の方で、身体が動く内に旅行するべきと意気投合しました！
ツアーの昼食では写真と違うこと多いものの、お酒まであってこの料金で良いの？と思う程でした。
高千穂峡の遊歩道が台風の影響で工事中の箇所あり、シャトルバスは何度も乗れるかと勘違いして違うツアーのバスに2人で乗ってしまったので、ガイドさんと歩き解散する場所で「ここに何時何分に集合してシャトルバスに乗ってバスの所まで送って貰う」と説明が良いと感じました。あと音楽をイヤホンなしで聞いてる女性.2回集合時間を守らない方がいて、バス乗る時に謝りの言葉なく当然という感じだったので「日本では集合時間に遅れたら置いて行く！」と初めにきつく伝えるべきかなと思います。遊歩道の工事完了後にまた行きたいと思います。

Most of the participants were from overseas. However, the tour guide was kind and attentive, allowing us to have a comfortable time.

参加者のほとんどが、海外の方たちでした。が、添乗員さんが、親切丁寧に対応くださり、快適な時間を過ごせました。

Due to the off-season, there were only two pairs of participants, including one solo participant. Our driver and guide, Mr. Adachi, had an extensive knowledge of Yakushima, and I felt like my understanding of the island expanded while listening to him. Additionally, the flying fish set meal for lunch was my first experience with flying fish, and it was very easy to eat and delicious. Thank you very much.

シーズンオフのせいか1人参加が二組の二人参加でした。ドライバー兼ガイドの足立さんは大変屋久島についての知識が豊富で、聞いていて屋久島についての知識が広がった気がしました。また、昼食のトビ魚の定食は、初めてトビ魚を食べたのですがとても食べやすくて美味しかったです。どうもありがとうございました。

I had a great time. The guide was very experienced and explained things while occasionally playing the sanshin. It was a sunny day, so the scenery was fantastic, and there were moments when the guide took photos for us. The optional glass-bottom boat ride was also wonderful; the sea was very beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles and coral.

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんがとても慣れた方で、ところどころ三線も引きながら説明してくださいました。この日は晴れていたので景色も最高で、ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださる場面もありました。オプションで乗ったグラスボートも、海がとても綺麗でウミガメや珊瑚なども見ることができました。

Since I was traveling alone and didn't have a car, I was glad to be able to visit many tourist spots in a short amount of time. Both the guide and the driver were great, and I had a lot of fun.

ひとり旅だったので、車もないし、短い時間で、
沢山の観光地を回ってもらって良かったです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても良かった、楽しかったです

I participated on a snowy day typical of Hokkaido. The Okurayama Jump Stadium was closed for lift use because there was a competition the next day. I felt disappointed as I headed there, but it was amazing to watch the young athletes practice. My time at Shiroi Koibito Park was short and a bit rushed, but I think those who don't buy souvenirs can enjoy it quite a bit. At the outer market, I encountered some great shops, bought plenty of souvenirs, and was very satisfied. Given the weather made it difficult for us to move around, I'm really glad I participated.

北海道らしい雪の日に参加しました。大倉山ジャンプ競技場は翌日に大会があるとのことでリフト使用中止。残念な気持ちで向かいましたが、若い選手たちの練習風景を見学できて最高でした。白い恋人パークは滞在時間が短くバタバタしましたが、お土産等買わない人は割と堪能できるかと思います。場外市場では良きお店に出会い、しっかりお土産も買って、大満足でした。自分たちでは移動もままならない天気だったので、参加して本当に良かったです。

The plan was to visit the main tourist attractions in Kyoto by bus. Unfortunately, there was traffic in the city, and popular spots like Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple were crowded with tourists, which caused delays in the bus arrivals and reduced our free time. However, I was very satisfied that we were able to visit Arashiyama while it was still light out.

The tour guide was very kind, and their detailed explanations for foreign visitors showed their dedication. This trip was a wonderful experience for me and my son. I think the tour planning was excellent. It would be difficult to visit all the scattered attractions in one day on your own.

京都の主要観光地をバスで廻れるというプランでした。残念ながら京都市内も車で渋滞、伏見稲荷神社や清水寺など人気観光地も観光客でいっぱいだったため、バスの到着に遅れが生じて自由時間が少なくなって残念な一面もありましたが、明るいうちに嵐山へ行く事が出来てとても満足なツアーでした。
添乗員さんもとても優しく、外国人への説明も詳しく一生懸命さが伝わってきました。
今回は息子との二人旅でしたが、とても楽しい旅行になりました。
ツアーの企画としてもとても良かったと思います。個人ではあちこちに点在してる観光地をまとめて一日で回ることは難しいと思います。

We participated in a New Year's tour in Kyoto with our family. At first, I was a bit worried about the traffic since it was New Year's, but everything went very smoothly and efficiently. If we had gone by our own car, I think we would have had concerns about parking and access, but since we took the bus, those worries were eliminated, making it stress-free. It was really great. Thank you very much.

家族でお正月の京都のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
初めはお正月だし、車も混んで時間がどうなるんだろう、と少し不安でしたが、
問題なくとても効率良かったです。
自家用車で行っていたら、駐車場の心配やアクセスの心配があったと思いますが、バスなので、
それがなくてストレスフリーでした。
とても良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to spend time very leisurely, forgetting about the clock.

It was great that there were many local dishes prepared for lunch.

I recommend exploring Taketomi Island by renting a bicycle.

時間を忘れてとてものんびりと過ごせました。

お昼ごはんは郷土料理がたくさん用意されていて良かったです。

竹富島はレンタサイクルで巡るのをオススメします。

We participated as a family. It was amazing. The aquarium and Kouri Island were particularly great. The additional meals were delicious as well. If I have the chance, I will definitely join again. I highly recommend this course.

家族で参加しました。最高でした。水族館と古宇利島は特に良かったです。追加での食事も美味しかったです。機会があればまた、参加させて頂きます。
是非お勧めのコースです。

If you get separated a little, the person in charge will change depending on the location, so be careful. It might be difficult for those who are not used to it, but I think the content is good. Those who have trouble keeping up should be cautious.

ちょっとはぐれると代わる代わるだから場所で担当変わるし気をつけて、なれない人は無理かも、内容は良いと思います。飲み込み悪い方は気を付けて

I traveled with two elementary school boys. The weather was great and the scenery was amazing! The guide's stories were very interesting, and I’m really glad I took this ride. It was a lot of fun to see the famous spots in Osaka in a short amount of time, especially as a fan of morning dramas.

The fourth grader really enjoyed the thrill of riding on the expressway in the open bus. The third grader was happy to see the tall buildings clearly since there was no roof.

However, it was a cold day, and it was really chilly! I didn’t prepare enough for the cold. I wish I had brought adhesive heat packs, warm lap blankets, and a shawl. I was really grateful that the guide gave us heat packs. It would be nice to have a thicker lap blanket in the middle of winter...

Since it was the first bus of the day, we were in Osaka during the morning rush hour. It was interesting that department stores were closed, but I also wished to see Osaka during a livelier time. I would love to ride again with a different route and time!

It was so good that I will recommend it to those around me. Thank you for a fun trip!

小学生の男の子を2人連れて乗車しました。
お天気よく景色最高でした！
ガイドさんのお話もとてもおもしろく、
本当に乗ってよかったです。
短い時間で大阪の名所をざっと見ることができて、朝ドラファンとしてもとても楽しかったです。

小学4年生は、高速道路をオープンバスで走ったスリルがとても楽しかったそうです。
小学3年生は、天井がないので高いビルがよくみえて嬉しかったそうです。

ただ、寒い日だったので本当に寒かったー！
寒さ対策が足りませんでした。
貼るホッカイロやあたたかい膝掛け、ストールなどを用意しておけばよかったです。
ガイドさんがホッカイロをくださって、本当にありがたかったです。真冬はもう少し厚いひざ掛けがあるといいな…

朝1番の便でしたので、出勤時刻の大阪でした。
デパートなどは開店前でそれはそれでおもしろかったですが、賑やかな時間の大阪も見たかったなと思います。ルートや時間帯を変えてまた乗りたいです！

とてもよかったので、周りの人にもオススメしておきますね。楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

We were blessed with warm weather and no wind. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was very delicious. The guide sang several songs, and the snake lute was wonderful. I would like to participate again.

温暖で、風も無く良い天候に恵まれました。
昼食も期待してませんでしたが、大変美味しいかったです。ガイドさんが何曲も歌ってくれて、蛇三線も素晴らしかったです。又参加したいです。

There were nearly 40 participants today, and I was the only Japanese person. The guide was from Shanghai and spoke Chinese, English, and Japanese. That's impressive. Lunch was free, but while I was eating scallop fried rice at a recommended restaurant, a few people from the same bus came in. I thought it might be difficult to make detailed orders, but the guide appeared and took the orders together with the staff. I was impressed that both the staff and the customers were very helpful. It was wonderful. The conversation was interesting, and I found myself laughing while listening to the explanations. Unfortunately, the wind was strong, so I couldn't fully enjoy the beauty of the lake, but I was able to feel the nature that is not just beautiful. What left a strong impression on me personally was Showa Shinzan. I was able to see it up close from near the ropeway station of Mount Usu. Smoke was coming out from various places on the mountain. Perhaps due to the high surface temperature, there were areas without snow, giving it a rugged feel. I'm really glad I participated.

本日の参加者は４０名近くいて、日本人は私1人でした。ガイドさんは、上海の方で、中国語と英語と日本語を話しておられました。すごいです。昼食は自由だったのですが、お薦めいただいたお店で、帆立炒飯を食べていると、同じバスの方が何名か入ってこられました。細かい注文は難しいかなぁっと思っていると、ガイドさんが現れて、店員さんと一緒に注文してを取っていました。店員さんもお客さんもどちらもとても助かったのではないかと感心していました。素晴らしいです。お話も面白くで、解説を聞きながら笑ってしまいました。あいにく風が強くて、湖の美しさは堪能できませんでしたが、綺麗なだけではない自然も感じることができました。個人的にとても印象に残っているのは、昭和新山です。有珠山のロープウェイ乗り場近くから、本当に間近に見ることができました。山のいろんなところから煙も出ていました。表面の温度が高いのか、部分的に雪がなく、荒々しい感じでした。
参加してとても良かったです。

It was a very cold day with occasional rain, but traveling by bus was easy. Along the way, I enjoyed listening to the audio guide, which provided explanations at various points, making it enjoyable even on my own. I believe it was when we passed over the Kouri Bridge, and the driver slowed down so we could take in the scenery properly.

時折雨も降りとても寒い日でしたが、バスでの移動で楽々でした。
道中、音声ガイドで所々解説を聞きながら進むので、ひとりでも十分楽しめました。
古宇利大橋通過時だったと思いますが、ゆっくり速度を落として通過してくださったので、しっかりと景色を見ることができました。

Although the weather was bad, the guide sang many songs and the stories were enjoyable, making for a wonderful time. I was concerned about my companion's footing, but I was grateful for the utmost consideration shown.

天候が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんが歌をたくさん歌ってくれ、話の内容も楽しくとても素晴らしいひと時を過ごしました。連れの足元に不安があったのですが、最大限の配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。

It was a trip for two with my husband. We were able to relax, and the experience was rich. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the laid-back warmth of Okinawa.

主人との二人旅でした。のんびりできて、内容は豊富でした。
天気にも恵まれ沖縄のゆったりとした温かさを体験できました。

The bus was mostly filled with 25 Chinese tourists besides us, and due to the heavy snow, we couldn't see Mount Aso. Walking to the hot springs was difficult in the snow, but the only highlight was Kumamoto Castle, which was great! I want to go again in the summer next time!

バスは私たち以外は25名中国人ばかりだし大雪だし阿蘇山は見えないし温泉は雪の中歩かさられるし、唯一熊本城はよかったです！次回は夏に行きたいです！

The weather was favorable, making for an enjoyable trip. The morning gathering was a bit hectic, and since most of the participants were international tourists, I felt a little anxious. However, the round trip from Nagoya was mostly free of traffic, which was stress-free. It was also fortunate that the person sitting next to me had to cancel at the last minute, allowing me to use the seat more comfortably. I heard that if you participate alone or in an odd number, there is a possibility of sharing a seat.

天候にも恵まれ楽しい旅行となりました。
朝の集合はバタバタしていて海外の観光客が大半を占めていた事もあり少し不安でしたが、名古屋からの行き帰りは渋滞もほとんどなくストレスもなかったです。
たまたま隣の席の方が急遽欠席になった事もあり座席も広く使えた事も幸運でした。
1人又は奇数の人数で参加される場合は相席になる可能性があるそうです。

It was snowy in the morning, but it cleared up at just the right moments, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery. The driver was sincere, and the guide was great. They weren't too talkative or too quiet, and they had a good sense of humor, making for a fun day. I wasn't expecting much from lunch, but I was pleasantly surprised. Both the location and the food were good. Thank you very much.

朝から雪でしたが、ここぞというポイントで晴れて、景色を存分に楽しめました。
運転手さんも誠実な方でしたし、ガイドさんがよかったです。喋りすぎず、おとなしすぎず、それでユーモアがあって、楽しい一日でした。
昼食は期待していなかったのですが、これまた満足しました。場所、内容ともによかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I escaped the cold and enjoyed a long-awaited trip to the tropical Okinawa. I discovered new tourist spots like Manza Beach and American Village, which felt like a new Okinawa experience. I had been to the Churaumi Aquarium several times before, so I separated from the group, but just the two of us went to the Tropical Dream Center, where we enjoyed the tropical plants and beautiful flowers, truly savoring the island vibe.

As expected from the travel company chosen by Veltra, the staff, including the driver and tour guide, were wonderful. There were over 40 participants on the bus, a mix of Japanese and foreigners (mainly from Asia), and most people exchanged smiles as we passed each other. However, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a group of six young men and women, presumed to be Korean, who were not at the meeting point. At each tourist spot, they returned to the bus just in time, often one or two minutes late, which was quite common. I thought the early drop-off would be quick, but even before we arrived, there was an announcement, and despite the bus stopping, they didn’t get off until the tour guide went to get them. Eventually, they got off without saying anything.

They were likely not part of Veltra's group, but I thought it must be tough for popular tours to refuse anyone. Other than that, it was a problem-free and enjoyable trip.

寒さを逃れ、久々の南国沖縄旅行を楽しんできました。
万座毛・アメリカンビレッジ等新しい観光地も見えて、新沖縄発見でした。
美ら海水族館は以前に何度も行ったので、団体から離れる形態になりましたが、我々だけでしたが熱帯ドリームセンターに行き熱帯植物・きれいな花を見て南国の島を十分に味わいました。
さすがのベルトラさんが選ぶ旅行会社で、スタッフの運転手さん添乗員さんは素晴らしかったです。
参加者もバスに４０人以上の日本人と外国人（主にアジア系）が混合乗車していましたが、ほとんどの人が笑顔ですれ違う感じでしたが、途中集合場所から参加した韓国人と思われる若い男女の６人グループが集合場所におらず２０分程度待たされ、各観光地でも喫煙のためかバスに帰ってくるのが時間ギリギリで1・２分遅れはあたりまえの様子で、さすがに途中解散は早く降りると思っていたら、着く前に案内があったのにバスが止まっても降りず、添乗員さんがおこしに行って、やっとしばらくして６人で何も言わず降りていきました。
ベルトラさんの客ではないグループでしょうが、人気ツアーも来る人拒めずで大変と思いましたが、それ以外は問題なく楽しい旅ができました。

The male water buffalo does not walk alone, and I learned that it defecates in the water, which was fun to know. The performance of the sanshin was also wonderful. Thank you.

雄の水牛は一頭では歩かない、排泄は水の中にするなど楽しく教えていただきました、三線の演奏も素晴らしかった。ありがとう

I had a very fulfilling day visiting various places since the morning. I felt that the Churaumi Aquarium could have been a bit shorter, but for families, this duration might be just right.

朝から色々なところを回れてとても充実した1日になりました。美ら海水族館はもう少し時間短くても良いように思えましたが、家族づれだと今くらいがちょうどいいのかも知れません。

I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, enjoyed the mangroves, and then rode a water buffalo to be pulled to Yufu Island. Thank you, Musashi!

石垣島から西表島に行き、マングローブを満喫してから、水牛に乗り由布島まで牽引してもらいました。ムサシありがとうございました

There were only my daughter and me as Japanese participants. Aside from one family from an English-speaking country, the rest were users from Chinese-speaking regions, but we had more than enough fun.

The guide was trilingual and always followed up with me and another group who didn't understand Chinese in Japanese and English, so I was able to trust the tour completely and feel at ease.

The timing was just right, and I enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with a bus tour. It was very helpful that they shared local specialties and recommendations.

Some people might feel a bit hesitant about mingling with foreigners, but I had a great time, so I highly recommend it.

My elementary school daughter also had a lot of fun and was able to spend the time with a smile! Thank you very much.

日本人参加者は私と娘だけ。
あと英語圏のご家族1組を除けば、あとは中国圏の利用者のみでしたが、十分以上に楽しめました。

ガイドの方はトリリンガルで中国語を理解できない私ともう1組にも日本語や英語でいつもフォローして下さいまして、ずっと安心してツアーをお任せできました。

時間設定もちょうどよく、バスツアーならではのお任せできる安心感で楽しく参加できました。
各所の名物やおすすめを教えてくださるのも大変助かりました。


外国人の中に混じるのは少し抵抗感があるかたも少なくないかも知れませんが、とても楽しめましたのでオススメです。

小学生の娘も楽しかった！と笑顔で過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to easily experience the long-awaited water buffalo cart ride. My child was scared of the water buffalo and hid their face during the commemorative photo, but when I said I wanted to buy it, they kindly stayed with us until my child lifted their face for the photo. I was very grateful for their kindness.
I was able to choose the return ferry time, but due to other circumstances, I selected an earlier time, so I didn't have enough time to leisurely enjoy the town's scenery. It would have been better if the ferry time on the way there had been a bit earlier.

念願の水牛車体験を手軽に出来ました。子供が水牛を怖がり記念写真を撮る時に顔を伏せてしまいましたが、購入すると言ったら顔を上げるまで撮影に付き合ってくださいました。とても親切でありがたかったです。
帰りのフェリーの時間を選べましたが、その後の都合で早い時間を選択した為、ゆっくり街並みを観る時間がありませんでした。行きのフェリーの時間がもう少し早いと良かったです。
