All Reviews for Bus Tours

The meeting place wasn't described in detail, so I was a bit anxious at first. I was able to meet up with the agent after communicating via phone, but it only mentioned "in front of DFS," while in reality, it was in front of "Aoyama," a bit of a walk from DFS. I thought this was quite unclear, so I deducted one star.

However, I was glad to be able to visit major tourist spots in a day. The atmosphere is very welcoming, so I highly recommend it for those considering solo travel. The bus guide was very dedicated, and the driver was pleasant as well. We had to make an unexpected stop at a roadside station due to stomach pain. I was moved to tears by the warm hospitality. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories of Okinawa.

集合場所が詳しく書いていなかったので、最初焦りました。
代理店の人とtelやり取りで無事に落ち合う事ができましたが、DFS前と書いてあるだけだったですが実際にはDFSから少し歩いた「洋服の青山」前でした。
これは分かるわけないだろう、と思ったので星１つマイナス。

しかし、日帰りでメジャーな観光地に行けて良かったです。
1人参加でも全然大丈夫な雰囲気ですので、一人旅で参加を迷ってる方はぜひおすすめします。
バスガイドさんがすごく一生懸命で運転手さんも感じが良かったです。
途中、腹痛で急遽道の駅に止まって頂きました。
温かいおもてなしにに思わず涙してしまいました。
とても良い沖縄の思い出になりありがとうございました。

I chose a bus tour for sightseeing in Okinawa since I am not familiar with driving. This was my first time using the service, and I was impressed by the tour guide's great energy, as they guided us with songs, dances, and jokes. They also actively encouraged us to take photos, which made for wonderful memories. I definitely want to use this service again for sightseeing.

運転に不慣れなためバスツアーを選択して沖縄観光しました。
初めて利用させて頂きましたが、添乗員さんのノリが良く、歌や踊り、冗談を交えながらガイドしてくださったのが印象的です。
写真を撮ってくださるのも、積極的に声を掛けてくださりとてもいい思い出になりました。
ぜひまた利用して観光したいなと思いました。

It takes 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port to reach Taketomi Island!
I chose the water buffalo course.
I rode a water buffalo and leisurely circled around Taketomi Island!
After the ride, I was able to take photos with the water buffalo, and while I received some photos for free, I had to purchase the ones from different angles! Thank you for the memorable photos♪

石垣港より高速船で10分で竹富島に到着！
私は水牛コースを選びました。
水牛に乗りゆっくりと竹富島を1周！
乗り終わった後には水牛と一緒に写真を撮って頂き、その写真は頂けて違うアングル写真は購入でした！思い出の写真ありがとうございました♪

The bus arrived a little late. The meeting place, Kenmin Hiroba, is where other buses also stop, so I was anxious about which bus would come and where it would arrive. When the bus arrived, the guide called out to us, so we were able to board safely.

Since it was Sunday, the roads seemed to be clear, and we arrived at Sefa Utaki before it opened. However, because it was raining, we were allowed to enter a bit early. The sun was shining while it was still raining, making the ground slippery, so I had to be careful with my footing. It was unfortunate that it rained, but it was nice to see the water dripping from the two stalactites. There were many friendly cats around the area.

At Okinawa World, I was mainly interested in Gyokusendo Cave, and there was enough time just for that. The Yaeyama tortoise near the exit was cute.

Is "Himeyuri ni te choppiri present" referring to the souvenir shop's service voucher? I spent so much time at the museum that I had to just pass by the souvenir shop, and it felt awkward to present a service voucher without buying anything, which was a bit disappointing. I would have preferred an explanation if it was going to be listed as a "benefit." If it’s not a gift from the tour, it might be better not to label it as a benefit.

Overall, I think it was a very good plan that allowed us to efficiently explore the southern part of the island. Although it was only on the way there, we also passed through the Nirai Kanai Bridge. I think this is an attractive feature, so it would be good to include it in the tour details. (Since it wasn't specifically mentioned, I thought we wouldn't be passing through.)

バスの到着が少し遅れた。集合場所の県民広場は、他のバスも停まるところなので、どんなバスが来るのか、どこにバスが着くのかわからず不安だった。バスが着いたら、ガイドさんが声をかけてくれたので無事乗れた。
日曜日だったので道路が空いていたらしく、斎場御嶽に着いたのは開館前だったが、雨が降っていたこともあり、少し早めに入れていただいた。陽が差しつつ雨が降っていたので滑りやすく、足元には注意した。雨だったのは残念だったが、二本の鍾乳石から滴り落ちる水が見られたのがよかった。周辺には人懐こいネコがたくさんいた。
おきなわワールドは玉泉洞が目当てだったので、玉泉洞だけなら十分な時間だった。出口付近のヤエヤマイシガメがかわいかった。
「ひめゆりにてちょっぴりプレゼント」は、お土産屋のサービス券のこと？ぎりぎりまで資料館を見ていたので、お土産屋は素通りするしかなく、何も買わないのにサービス券を出すことはしづらく、少しがっかりだった。「特典」として記載するくらいなら説明をしてほしかった。ツアーからのプレゼントでないなら、特典としないほうがよいのでは。
全体的には、南部を効率よく回れるとてもよいプランだったと思う。
行きのみだが、ニライカナイ橋も通る。これも魅力だと思うので、ツアー内容に記載すればよいのにと思った。（特に書いていないので通らないのかと思った）

The price, which includes round-trip ferry tickets and rental bicycle fees, is a great deal. I also think it's appealing that you can choose your return time on the same day.

往復のフェリーチケット代とレンタサイクル代込みでこの価格は破格です。帰りの時間が当日選べるのも魅力だと思います。

It was a tour, but it had a high degree of freedom, with plenty of options, and it was really nice to be able to act mostly on our own.

ツアーでしたが自由度が高く、選択肢もたくさんあり、基本的に自分たちだけで行動できるのがラクでとてもよかったです☆

If you're worried about traveling individually to the Churaumi Aquarium, which is far from Naha City, I recommend this option. On the bus, a Japanese guide provides explanations about Okinawa's history and culture, along with enjoyable performances like songs and dances, so you won't get bored. It's also appealing that you can stop at famous Okinawan spots like Manzamo on the way to and from Churaumi. It seems to be a popular course, as it was fully booked when I participated. Half of the participants were from abroad, and there were occasional audio guidance broadcasts in foreign languages on the bus. The guide spoke entirely in Japanese. Lunch is at your own expense as needed, but I think it's a good deal since the entrance fees for the aquarium and Ryukyu Village are included in the tour price.

那覇市街から遠い美ら海水族館へ、個人で移動するのが心配な方におすすめです。バス内では、日本人ガイドさんが沖縄の歴史や風土に関する説明、歌や踊り等の楽しいパフォーマンスをされ退屈しませんでした。美ら海への行き・帰りの途中で、万座毛など沖縄の名所に寄れるところも魅力的です。人気コースのようで、私が参加した時は満席でした。参加者の半数は外国からの方で、車内では、時おり外国語によるオーディオガイダンス放送があります。ガイドさんは全て日本語でお話されました。昼食は必要に応じて各自負担ですが、水族館・琉球村の入場料はツアー料金に含まれており、お得だと思います。

It was my first time on a deck bus. The scenery and sky were amazing. The weather was uncertain, but it held up while I was on the bus, so that was great. Next time, I want to try a different route.

初のデッキバスでした。景色・空最高でした。
天気が不安でしたが、乗ってる間はもってくれたので良かったです。
次は、別ルートに乗りたいですね

I chose a course that includes a ferry and a mini bus tour for sightseeing on the island. The itinerary stated that we would only disembark at the star sand beach, but we were also allowed to get off and explore at Kondoi Beach, where we could stroll along the sandy shore. On the way back, we could spend the time until the ferry departure for free exploration of the village. Although the distance from the village to Taketomi Port is considerable, we were able to take a free bus provided by the water buffalo company. The mini bus tour driver provided thorough explanations about the island, and even though I was alone, I was able to fully enjoy the charm of Taketomi Island.

フェリー・水牛車代込みで島内観光ミニバスツアー付きのコースを選びました。旅程には星の砂浜のみ下車とありましたが、コンドイビーチでも下車観光させて下さり、砂浜を散策できました。帰りは、フェリーの時間までを集落の自由散策にあてることができます。集落から竹富港までは距離がありますが、水牛の会社の無料バスで送ってもらえます。ミニバスツアーの運転手さんの島内説明も丁寧で、ひとりでしたが竹富島の魅力を十分に味わえました。

I participated in a tour that I have used multiple times before because my companion wanted to join. After finishing cycling on Taketomi Island, we returned to the port, and since I didn't know which side the ferry would dock on, I waited. When I asked an employee on the side where the Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism boat was docked, they kept telling me to line up. I asked which side to line up on, but they continued to insist that I should line up.

I noticed that the large travel agency Y was being treated politely, while we were being looked down upon with a discriminatory response that favored group profits over individual ones. Even at the beginning, when we departed from Iriomote Island for the cruise and bus, it seemed that the Y travel group was prioritized even though we were the first to leave. If they had stated from the start that groups with higher profits would be prioritized, I would have had to accept it, but the blatant discrimination was humiliating.

何度も利用しているツアーで今回も同行者が行きたいと言われて参加しました。
竹富島でのサイクリングが終わり港に戻りフェリー乗り場の左右どちらに停泊するかわからなかったので待機していると石垣島ドリーム観光の船が停泊した側の従業員に聞くと並んで下さいの連呼でした。
どちら側に並ぶが聞いたが更に並んで下さいの連呼でした。
初めから同じ行動だった大手Y旅行には丁寧に対応したりしてるのを見て団体の利益と個人の利益を差別した見下された対応でした。
初めも西表島からクルーズやバスなど全て一番初めに出発しても少し進んだらY旅行の団体を先に優先してるのは会社ぐるみの対応だったみたいでした。
初めから利益の多い団体様優先と記載していたら納得せざるを得ないですがあからさまな差別は屈辱でした。

It was great because it was a roofless bus, making it easy to see Tsutenkaku and Abeno Harukas. However, it was hot, so hats are a must for both men and women.

屋根なしバスなので、通天閣やあべのハルカスが見やすく最高でした。でも、暑いので、男性も女性も帽子は必須ですね。

We enjoy it really much......thanks also for our tour guide Madam Madoka for introduced Japanese culture to us. >_<

First, Sefa Utaki is a sacred site registered as a World Heritage site, and it had a divine atmosphere that is often described as a "sacred space." After that, I enjoyed a powerful Eisa performance at Okinawa World. Finally, I visited the Himeyuri Monument. The young bus guide shared harrowing stories from war survivors about their experiences during that time. The intensity of the battles in the Okinawa campaign was described as a "storm of iron," and many people lost their lives. It is a place that makes you reflect on war and peace.

まず、斎場御嶽は世界遺産にも登録されている祈りの場であり、「聖なる空間」といわれるほど神聖な空気が漂っていました。
その後、オキナワワールドで気迫あふれるエイサーを観賞。
そして最後に、ひめゆりの塔を参拝しました。
若いバスガイドさんでしたが、戦争経験者たちから聞いた当時の悲惨な体験談を語ってくれました。
沖縄戦の戦闘の激しさは「鉄の暴風」と表現されるほどであり、非常に多くの方々が犠牲となりました。
戦争や平和について考えさせられる場所です。

At Saijō Gushikawa, they offered free sandals for rent, making the climb easy. The limestone cave was enchanting, but it was longer and took more time than I expected. I only had time to drink some shikwasa juice and didn’t have any time to explore the above-ground area. I received a discount ticket for souvenirs, but I didn’t have time to use it. I didn’t enter the Himeyuri Monument because I thought I would run out of time inside the museum, but I still didn’t have enough time to buy souvenirs leisurely. However, I was able to sample barley tea and sata andagi at the souvenir shop. Additionally, since shipping was free for purchases over 8,000 yen, I was able to send my items and had less luggage to carry. The shuttle to the airport was convenient, but arriving at 1 PM didn’t leave enough time for sightseeing; I think arriving at 2 PM would have been better. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand.

斎場御嶽は、サンダルが無料貸し出ししてもらえて、楽に登れました。鍾乳洞は幻想的でしたが思ったより距離が長くて時間がかかり、シークワーサージュースを飲んだだけで、地上部分を観光する時間が全くなかった、お土産の割引チケットも貰ったが、使う時間はなかった。ひめゆりの塔は、博物館中に入ったら時間がなくなりそうだったので入らなかったがそれでもお土産をゆっくり買う時間はなかったですが、お土産屋さんで麦茶とサーターアンダギーの試食が頂けました。また、8千円以上購入で送料無料だったので郵送できて、手荷物が少なくてすみました。空港までの送迎付きで楽でしたが、13時着では、観光する時間が全然足りないので、14時着なら良かったと思います。ガイドさんの説明はすごく分かりやすかったです。

I was expecting coolness in early September, but it was hot!
The conversation made me forget about the heat.
Thank you to the guide, who also handled various tasks, and the driver.
I was promised to come back again.

涼しさを期待した9月上旬でしたが、暑かった～
その暑さを感じさせないトーク。
ガイド・雑用兼務、ドライバーさんありがとうございました。
リピターを約束させられました。

We took a one day tour with Veltra on Saturday 25 August. The tour commenced on time at Jolly's Coffee Shop opposite the Shin Kyoto Station. The tour gave us a comprehensive overview of the temples, shrines and gardens in Kyoto. There is a fair amount of walking to visit each site and this coupled with mid 30's temperatures was indeed a challenge for us in our mid 70's. Nevertheless the guide did point out shortcuts for us and still see the important sites. Lunch on this day was similar to a shabu shabu event with chicken & vegetable cooked at the table individually. It would have been even better in cooler weather. We found the tour ideal for the one day traveller to at least gain an overview of the beautiful historic sites of Kyoto.

I think this is a great tour for those returning on an afternoon flight, as I will be back at Naha Airport by 1 PM. I usually use a rental car, but this time I participated in this highly-rated tour due to time constraints. I wished I could spend a bit more time at Okinawa World and Gyokusendo Cave, but I have no complaints considering the price. I won't mention names, but the guide was very attentive and provided a lot of information about Okinawa's history and dialects, making the journey enjoyable. The song by BEGIN that the guide sang just before we arrived at the airport was also great! Of course, I felt safe with the driver's driving as well. I would love to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

午後1時に那覇空港に戻るので、午後便で帰る方にはとても良いツアーだと思います。いつもはレンタカーを使いますが、今回は時間が限られていて口コミの評価も高いこちらのツアーに参加しました。内容としては、沖縄ワールドと玉泉洞はもう少しゆっくり回りたいと思いましたが、この料金なら不満はありません。お名前は出しませんが、ガイドさんはとても丁寧に案内をしてくれて、沖縄の歴史、方言など、移動中も飽きることなく過ごすことができました。空港到着間際にガイドさんが歌われたBEGINの曲もグッドでした！勿論、ドライバーさんの運転も安心できました。また機会があればお世話になりたいです。

I wish I had a bit more time in Shirakawa-go! I couldn't explore enough. The lunch was very delicious! Both the guide and the driver were very kind, cheerful, and easy to talk to. Since it was a small group, it was very relaxed. They shared many enjoyable stories about Kanazawa, which were very helpful.

白川郷での時間がもう少し欲しかったです！十分に散策できなかったです。ランチは、とても美味しかったです！ガイドさん、ドライバーさんどちらもとても、優しくて明るくて話しやすかったです。少人数のグループだったのでとても気楽でした。金沢について楽しいお話をたくさんしてくれて役立ちましました。

This was such a great tour! My guide was Yurika and she was super sweet and very knowledgable! She took us to some very cool spots where I got nice pictures, as well as picked up some souvenirs. The street food venders near the shrine were delicious so I would recommend skipping luck so you can try as much as possible!

I lived in Osaka until 20 years ago, and I was thrilled to see how much the city has changed, beautifully, from an open-top bus like a panorama. The feeling of the street trees almost touching was dynamic. It was a hot day from the morning, but thanks to the "mist," the cute "fan" on the seat, and the "heat relief sheet," I had a refreshing bus trip. The guide's explanations were excellent, pointing out details we might have overlooked. I was happy to learn about the origins of names like "Midosuji" and "Sennichimae," as well as about "Kongō-gumi" and "Pine Ame." I would love to ride again.

20年前まで大阪に住んでいましたが、大きくきれいに変わった大阪の街を屋根のないバスでパノラマのように見ることができて感激しました。街路樹が触れそうになる感じもダイナミックでした。朝から暑い日でしたが、「ミスト」とシートについていたかわいい「うちわ」と「熱さまシート」のおかげで爽やかなバスの旅ができました。ガイドさんの案内も自分たちでは見過ごしそうなポイントを教えてもらえて最高でした。「御堂筋」や「千日前」の名前の由来、「金剛組」「パインアメ」などを教えてもらえてうれしかったです。また、乗りたいですね。

I was only worried about the weather, but fortunately, it was sunny, and I was able to fully enjoy the tour. I felt that if it had rained, visiting Saijo-ontake would have been quite tough.

The duration at each stop felt just right for exploring alone. However, it might be a bit short for families or friends.

I think this tour is very good value for the price, as we were able to cover all the highlights in just the morning.

However, the meeting point was very unclear, so I would appreciate a bit more attention to that.

天候だけが心配だったのですが、無事、晴れてくれたのでツアーを満喫できました。
雨が降ってしまうと斎条御嶽はけっこう辛いかなぁと感じます。

それぞれの滞在時間は一人で回るにはちょうど良く感じます。家族や友達連れだとちょっと短いかも？

午前中だけで見どころをしっかり押さえられてこの値段はとてもよいツアーだと思います


ただ、非常に集合が分かりにくかったので、もう少し気を遣ってほしいところです。

The staff and Bus are good.The Bus is ok and sitting only on top floor and due to Sun Shine very inconvenient and very hot.
Need to take care of this.

We participated as a family of five. We joined a tour that included round-trip tickets, a glass-bottom boat, and a water buffalo cart, which was a great deal.

It took about 10 minutes by boat to reach Taketomi Island, and we arrived comfortably with hardly any rocking. We first boarded the glass-bottom boat, and the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand. I really felt their customer-first philosophy.

The water buffalo cart tour was also satisfying, with the guide providing clear and detailed explanations. Riding the water buffalo cart while listening to Okinawan folk songs as we explored the island truly made me feel the essence of Ryukyu! It was a lot of fun! ♪

家族5人で参加しました。乗船券往復・グラスボート・水牛車がせっとになったツアーでお得なので参加しました。
竹富島まで船で10分程度、ほぼ揺れもなく快適に過ごし到着です。最初にグラスボートの乗りましたがガイドさんの説明が非常に丁寧でわかりやすかったです。お客様第一主義を非常に感じました。
水牛車ツアーもガイドの方が丁寧で分かりやすい説明で満足しました。水牛車に乗りながらの沖縄民謡を聴きながら島内を回りこれぞ琉球！を感じられとても楽しかったです♪

There was a fan at the seat, and it was cool at my feet.
If you go by taxi, it was difficult to understand how to get to the boarding area.
I recommend heading to the boarding area from Osaka Station.

席にうちわもあり、足元も涼しかったです。
タクシーで行くと、乗り場までの渡り方がわかりにくかったです。
大阪駅から乗り場へ向かうことをお勧めします。

This is a beautiful bus equipped with free Wi-Fi. The driver and guide were both very nice, making for a comfortable experience. I participated on a Saturday, and fortunately, there was no major traffic congestion.

I was able to fully enjoy the summer flowers of Hokkaido, which was the highlight of this trip. Shikisai no Oka is very vast, and the ground can be uneven, so I recommend using a cart. Even within the time allotted for the bus tour, you can reach distant areas of the grounds and see a variety of flower fields.

FreeWifi搭載の綺麗なバスです。運転手の方、ガイドの方もとても良い方で快適に過ごすことができました。土曜日の参加でしたが、幸い大きな渋滞もありませんでした。
今回の北海道旅行のメインである夏の北海道の花々を満喫することができました。
四季彩の丘はとても広大で、足元も悪いのでカート利用することをお勧めします。バスツアーの滞在時間内でも敷地の遠方まで行け、多くの種類の花畑を見ることができます。

Very good tour, complete value for money. Guides are very pleasent and helpful

The early morning departure allowed us to efficiently enjoy our time. The guide shared various stories during the drive, which helped us understand the places we were about to visit.
At Shinbara Beach, the glass-bottom boat took us to points where we could see many tropical fish.
I would like to use other courses if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

朝早い出発で効率よく周り楽しく過ごせました。ガイドさんは車中で様々な話をしてくれて、これから訪れる場所のことが分かり良かったです。
新原ビーチでのグラスボートは魚のいるポイントを回ってくれて沢山の熱帯魚を見ることができました。
また機会があれば他のコースも利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The guide was wonderful! We had a great time throughout the tour! The Churaumi Aquarium was amazing, but the other stops were just at a level for taking commemorative photos.

ガイドさんが素晴らしい‼️ ツアー終日 楽しい時間を過ごせました‼️ 美ら海水族館も 凄い、ただ 後の中継地は 記念撮影するレベルかな。

I noticed a mist coming from the front of the bus, but the water in the mist smelled bad, making me wonder what kind of water they were using. That was my first impression. After that, it got extremely hot, and while I was sweating profusely, we went around the sightseeing spots, but due to the traffic, we quickly passed by them, and I couldn't see the attractions well. I raised my hand to get off at Abeno Harukas as instructed, but I wasn't let off and had to go to the final stop. This significantly disrupted my sightseeing plans, which was very disappointing. I also couldn't hear the bus guide's announcements well. I was just enduring the heat while being shaken around on the bus. That's the impression I had. I found and booked this through a guidebook, but I never want to ride it again. It's really unfortunate.

バスの前方からミスとが出ましたが、ミストの水が臭くてどんな水を使用してるのかな?、これが第一印象。その後もの凄く暑くて汗がしたたり落ちながら、名所を廻りますが、道路の混み具合で観光スポットがあっという間に過ぎて行き、観光スポットがよく見られませんでした。あべのハルカスで降車可能とのことで手を挙げてとのことで、手を挙げましたが、下ろしてもらえず終点までいかざるおえませんでした。なので観光予定が大幅にくるってしまいました。とても残念です。バスのガイドアナウンスもよく聞こえませんでした。暑いなかじっと耐えながらバスに揺られていた。こんな印象です。ガイドブックで見つけて予約しましたが、もう2度と乗りたくありません。残念です。

The tour was more relaxed than I expected, with no rush or long waits. It included the main attractions of the Yaeyama Islands and was a fulfilling plan.

急かされることもなく待たされることもなく、思った以上にゆったり出来たツアーだった。
八重山の主要な観光が入っており充実したプランだった。
