All Reviews for Bus Tours

We came only for the aquarium but the extra stops at pineapple and butterfly were nice too. The guide could not speak English but we knew that before. She did her best to help us with the tour. Normally we do not book tours on holidays but the regular bus in Okinawa is expensive and not very useful

I love sightseeing tour buses because they take you around the main attractions, but this was my first experience on a double-decker open-top bus. It was great to see famous spots like Dotonbori, Shinsekai, Abeno Harukas, and Umeda Sky Building with explanations. Next time, I want to take my parents along.

観光ツアーバスは主な観光地をまわってくれるので好きなのですが2階建てオープンは初体験でした。道頓堀、新世界、アベノハルカス、梅田スカイビルなど有名スポットを説明付きで見られるのはなかなかグッド。今度は親を連れて乗りたいと思います。

We originally book our tour on a Thursday but checked the weather the day before and it was rainy so we called and changed it to Friday, customers service was nice and helpful.
We were at the designated pick up point by 8am. Our tour guide Levin was on time. He was nice and funny. He's knowledgeable and even taught us basic Japanese words/phrases. Our first stop was Lake Kawaguchi. It was still early so we didnt get to see the full view of Mt Fuji and reflection against the lake as it was a bit cloudy. Levin recommended to try the blueberry soft cream. 'Twas delicious! Next stop was Oshino Hakkai where we strolled through the village and saw 8 ponds, and this time we saw Mt Fuji clearly. It was beautiful. Almost lunch time and we headed to our third spot, the Ninja Village. We had Japanese-style food for lunch. Food was delish! Then off to our fourth stop, Mt Fuji Fifth Station. We got up close to Mt Fuji. We enjoyed the views and the little shrine. However it was freezing cold. We didnt stay there for long as we had the 4D Fuji Airways schedule. This was one of the best 4D's we've seen as it was so realistic.Really enjoyed it! We headed home and got dropped off at Shinjuku station as our last stop.
Over all it was an amazing experience!

It was a very enjoyable time with a small group, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was also very relaxing. The guide's sanshin performance was great too.

少人数で、移動もゆったりでき川平湾のグラスボートもとても楽しいひと時でした。
ガイドさんの三線も良かったです。

Taketomi Island is just a 15-minute boat ride from Ishigaki Island. We arrived in no time. We spent about 30 minutes on a glass-bottom boat, where we saw various fish, but I was concerned about the decreasing number of corals. Next, we rode water buffalo to explore the village. It was very peaceful. However, it was already hot in early June, so we had to use rental bicycles to get around the village. I recommend swimming at Hoshizuna Beach. There were few people, and the water was very clear and shallow, so we could see plenty of fish swimming right in front of us. I would love to go again.

竹富島へは石垣島から船で１５分。アッという間に着いてしまいました。グラスボートで約３０分いろんな魚が泳いでいましたがただサンゴが少なくなっているのが気がかりでした。次に水牛に乗って村を散策。のどかでしたね。ただ６月初めですでに暑くむらの散策もレンタサイクルで回らないと動けません。おすすめは星砂の浜での海水浴。人も少なくまた海がとても綺麗で遠浅なので目の前で魚がいっぱい泳いでいました。また行きたいですね

Our first trip with three generations ✈️ Our first time on Taketomi Island.
I wanted to make it the best trip possible, so I was searching online and found VELTRA's page!
The round-trip ferry, glass-bottom boat, and water buffalo experience were bundled together at a great price, and it was really helpful that they provided bus transportation.
Unfortunately, it rained, but we were still able to ride the glass-bottom boat, and the staff during the water buffalo experience were very warm and accommodating, which made it really enjoyable.
I would like to ask VELTRA for help again on our next trip (^^)

初めての三世帯旅行✈️初めての竹富島
最高の旅行にしたくて、ネットで色々探していたらVELTRAさんのページが！
往復の船、グラスボード、水牛体験がセットで安くて、バスで移動してくれるので凄く助かりました。
でも残念なことに雨でしたが、グラスボードにも乗れて水牛体験ではスタッフの方が暖かい対応をしてくださり凄く楽しめました。
旅行のさいにはまたVELTRAさんにお願いしたいです(^^)

I chose a café on the beach and was able to visit a popular spot. Everything was great. It's definitely worth participating at least once. It was a very fulfilling trip.

ビーチでカフェを選択、人気店を訪問できました。全てよかったです。一度は参加する価値ありです。とても充実した旅になりました。

I visited Okinawa for an award ceremony. On the last day, I had about half a day free, so I looked for a tour with VELTRA and found a perfect one to join. The sightseeing was hot, but it was nice to relax at a seaside café and quench my thirst. Since they also provided transportation to the airport, the sightseeing cost was practically free.

　表彰式の招待で沖縄を訪れました。最終日に半日ほど時間があったので、ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんを探したらちょうど良いツアーがあり参加しました。観光は暑かったのですが、海辺の喫茶店で喉を潤しまったりと過ごせたのがよかったですね。
　これで空港まで送ってくれるのですから、観光代はタダ同然ですね。

Well paced itenery. Like the option where we can choose to drop off at another point.

We had a great day at the Mount Fuji. The pick up was on time at the estimated point. The tour was good organized and our friendly guide Levin explained everything at least twice ;-)
The first stop at the Lake Kawaguchi-ko was a good break for a blueberry soft-ice, which Levin recommended us and which was really tasty. Unfortunately we couldn't see the Mt. Fuji from there, because the Mountain was in the clouds. Oshino Hakkai with it's ponds was touristic, but nice. We took the path next to the small river back to the bus, which was really nice! The lunch at Oshino Ninja Village was excellent and the garden is really beautiful! We whished we could spend a little more time there. On the fifth station of the Mt. Fuji we were finally lucky to see the top of the mountain. The last stop, the Fuji Airways was pretty cool, so we were able to see the mountain in different seasons and special sceneries.
I would recommend the trip to see something more than Tokyo, but go sure that you'll have good weather conditions to see the mountain in all it's beauty. It's worth a visit!

I enjoyed seeing beautiful scenery and a lot of fish on the glass-bottom boat. It was only half a day, but I was very satisfied. The guide was kind and fun as well.

きれいな景色を見たり、グラスボートでたくさんの魚を見たり
半日でしたが大満足です。
ガイドさんも優しく楽しい方でした。

The day I participated was a rest day for Sefa Utaki, so unfortunately, we couldn't visit. When Sefa Utaki is closed, it seems that the usual plan is to go to Chinen Misaki, but based on the suggestion from Rad Kanko and the preferences of the participants that day, we didn't go there and instead visited both Shinbaru Beach and Okinawa World, which are typically options.

Shinbaru Beach was a bit disappointing due to the rain, but it was nice to be able to look at the ocean in Okinawa. I think we stayed for about 20 minutes.

At Okinawa World, we had two hours for sightseeing, which I personally found to be just the right length, but usually, it's about 70 minutes. If you plan to tour the limestone caves as well, 70 minutes might feel rushed, so please be mindful of the time allocation. Since the park can get wet from the rain, an umbrella is necessary, but the Eisa show and various experience facilities are covered, so on rainy days, I recommend Okinawa World over the beach. However, while the entrance fee is relatively inexpensive, additional charges will apply for various activities, so it's a good idea to consult your budget and choose experiences that interest you. Personally, I enjoyed the Ryukyu costume fitting experience. They also took photos with my camera, which made for a great keepsake.

私が参加した日は斎場御嶽の休息日のため、残念ながら見学することはできませんでした。
斎場御嶽が休息日の場合、通常は知念岬に行くことになっているらしいですが、ラド観光さんのご提案と当日の参加者の意向で、そちらへは行かずに、本来は選択となる新原ビーチとおきなわワールドの両方に行っていただきました。
新原ビーチは、あいにくの雨だったためイマイチでしたが、沖縄の海を眺められたのは良かったです。20分程度の滞在時間だったと思います。
おきなわワールドは２時間観光の時間を取っていただきました。個人的に丁度良い長さでしたが、通常は70分程度なんですね。鍾乳洞の観光もする場合、70分だと駆け足になると思いますので、時間配分に注意してください。パーク内は雨に濡れるため傘が必要ですが、エイサーショーや各種体験施設は屋根付きなので、雨の日はビーチよりもおきなわワールドがおすすめです。ただし、入園料自体は比較的安いのですが、色々楽しむためには結局のところ追加料金が発生するので、お財布と相談しながら興味のあるものを体験すると良いと思います。個人的には、琉装着付け体験が楽しかったです。手持ちカメラで写真も撮っていただけたので、良い記念になりました。

I participated with eight colleagues who came from overseas. Although I usually work in Tokyo, seeing the city from an open-top bus offered a fresh perspective. We were able to enjoy the Tokyo Tower's light-up right beneath it, and I was moved, thinking, "It was this beautiful!"

We traveled from the Shuto Expressway through the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Experiencing the Shuto Expressway and Rainbow Bridge while feeling the wind was a valuable experience. During the one hour of free time, we took photos with the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, enjoyed ice cream, and took a group photo, though we felt a bit rushed for time.

I recommend this experience not only to tourists but also to those working in Tokyo.

海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に8人で参加しました。普段から東京で働いていますが、オープントップバスから見る東京の街は、目線が違うこともあり新鮮。ちょうど東京タワーのライトアップが始まる時間に真下で鑑賞。『こんなにキレイだったんだ！』と感動しました。

首都高からレインボーブリッジを通ってお台場へ。風を感じながらの首都高＆レインボーブリッジも貴重な体験です。フリータイムの1時間は、自由の女神像とレインボーブリッジの写真を撮ったり、アイスを食べたり、全員でプルクラを撮ったりと、少し時間が足りなかったくらいでした。

観光客の人たちはもちろん、東京で働いている人にもオススメします。

I participated in the "Full Day Enjoyment Plan (Lunch Included)."

The bus guide was very entertaining, sharing the charm of Yakushima in a fun and engaging way throughout the day. Even while driving on regular roads, I was able to hear stories about the island that matched the scenery, making the experience more fulfilling than I expected.

During our trip on the World Heritage-listed Nishiibu Road, we encountered someone who had dropped their rental car into a ditch... It seems there are difficult spots that are hard to navigate unless you're a local, so I think it's safer and more recommended than driving around in a rental car.

To circle the island and have lunch included at this price is an incredible deal!!

Since you're just riding on the bus, it doesn't require much physical effort, and I believe people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can enjoy it widely.

If I had to mention one thing... since we often drive on winding roads, it might be reassuring for those who get motion sickness to have some motion sickness medication.

You can experience the charm of the island and enjoy all the highlights in just one day! I highly recommend it for those who want to indulge!

「1日たっぷり満喫プラン(昼食付)」で参加させていただきました。

バスガイドさんがとても面白い方で、屋久島の魅力を1日かけて面白可笑しく教えてくださいます。
普通の道を走行中でも、景色に合わせて島のお話が聞けるので予想以上に充実しました。

世界遺産である西部林道の途中、溝にレンタカーを落としてしまった人と遭遇。。。
地元の慣れた人でないと通るのが難しい難所などもあるようで、レンタカーで回るよりも安全でおススメだと思います。

島を一周して、昼食までついてこのお値段は破格です‼

バスに乗っているだけなので体力もほとんど使いませんし、お子様からご高齢の方まで幅広く楽しめると思います。

強いて言えば…入り組んだ道を走ることが多いので、乗り物酔いをされる方は酔い止めがあれば安心かもしれません。

島の魅力をたった1日で美味しいところ取りができます！
欲張りたい方には是非おススメです！！

The tour didn't have a guide accompanying us the whole time, so we were free to move around.
Cycling on sunny days requires UV protection!
For women, having a hat and UV-cut arm covers is a good idea!

添乗員さんが付きっきりというツアーでは無かったので、自由に動くことが出来ました。
晴れた時のサイクリングは紫外線対策必須です！
女性は、帽子にUVカットアームカバーがあると良し！

Yui-kun was very cute. I had a great time enjoying Taketomi Island. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

ゆいくんとてもかわいかっです。とても楽しく竹富島を満喫できました。また機会ありましたら利用したいと思います

My wife loved this trip. Highly recommend. Beautifully selected stops.

We participated in this tour blessed with the best weather. Thanks to the advance reservation, the check-in was very smooth, which was a great help. While waiting at the bus stop, a bright red body arrived! My child was extremely excited. Although we are familiar with the streets of Tokyo, the guide provided a thorough explanation, making it very enjoyable. And above all, the open deck made the breeze feel wonderful! This alone made it worth participating. We quickly toured famous spots like Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge in just 50 minutes. In the end, there was spontaneous applause from the participants. It was a wonderful tour.

最高の天気に恵まれた中、参加してみました。
事前予約のかいもあり、受付は大変スムーズでした。とても助かります。
バス停で待っていると、真っ赤に輝くボディーが到着！我が子は大興奮です。
見慣れた東京の街並みですが、ガイドさんが丁寧に案内頂けるので、とても楽しめます。
そして、なんといってもオープンデッキのため、風がとても気持ちいい！これだけでも参加した価値があります。東京タワー、レインボーブリッジっと名所をぐるりと周りあっという間の50分。
最後は参加から自然と拍手喝采。素敵なツアーでした。

I like this tour very much. In the morning, I had a hiccup to find out the meeting place and immediately called the emergency line. She asked me to get a taxi and explained the details to the taxi driver on how to go the meeting place so that we did not miss the trip.
Our tour guide was Kim and he was very friendly and helpful. During on the way to Mt Fuji, Kim explained about the formation of Mt Fuji and a little bit about Japanese culture especially about the differences between shrine and temple.
Our first stop was Lake Kawaguchi-ko and we had opportunity to taste the blueberry soft ice-cream. Unfortunately we was not able to view clearly at Mt Fuji as it was covered by cloud. Then we went to the 8 ponds in Oshino Hakkai and it was a traditional Japanese village. I heard a lot about the wonder of Mt Fuji water and took the first chance to drink a youthful Mt Fuji water.
Our next stop was a ninja village where we had Japanese style lunch. After the lunch, we visited Japanese Garden and took a few picture of very beautiful flowers in blossoms as we had missed Sakura flower session in Tokyo. After that, the most important place to visit is the 5th station of Mt Fuji. It is a fantastic and beautiful. Well! It is worth the trip.
We did not expect much on the last stop on the 4d movie simulation on Mt Fuji. But It is very real and nice. We wish we could go the second view of it.
We strongly recommend for this tour.

I planned it.
They were very pleased.
Since the back seats don't get sunlight, I had my elderly grandmother sit there.
The children also enjoyed seeing Osaka Castle and said they felt good on the double-decker bus and would like to ride it again.

計画しました
とても喜ばれました
後ろの座席は陽が当たらないので高齢のおばあちゃんに座ってもらいました
子供達も大阪城が観れたことが楽しかったと 2階建てバスが気持ちよくてまた乗りたいとのことでした

I went on my first solo trip to Osaka.
The view from the high places was really great.
The guide was very approachable and left a good impression on me.
Next time, I want to take a different route.

大阪に初めて一人旅でいきました。
高い所から眺める景色はとてもよかったです。
ガイドのおねえさんもとてもひたしみやすくて、好感がもてました。
今度は違うルートで乗りたいと思っています。

This time, I chose to travel to Shodoshima with a senior who retired in March. I think this tour bus is convenient for efficiently enjoying the various attractions scattered across the island, which is larger than I had imagined. However, I found the lunch spot to be somewhat disappointing. If you could reconsider the route for visiting the attractions, I would recommend it to those planning their trips in the future!

今回、3月に退職された先輩と2人旅に小豆島を選びました。想像していたより広い島内で点在する名所を効率良く満喫するには、このツアーバスは便利だと思います。ただランチタイムがやや残念な場所だったと思います。名所巡りの順路を再考いただけると、これから旅行を計画される方にもオススメします！

It was my first time kayaking.
I had a great time.
The river was beautiful, and the scenery was really nice.
The guide was kind and taught us carefully, for which I am grateful. I want to go again.

初めてのカヤックです。
楽しかったです。
川が綺麗で、景色もとてもいいです。
ガイドさんは親切で、丁寧に教えていただいて、感謝します。まだ、行きたいです。

The lunch venue and Tamatorizaki Observatory were breathtaking spots.
At Kabira Bay, there isn't enough time to visit the scenic spots when you take the glass-bottom boat.
The bus is old, so the seat pitch is a drawback.

昼食会場、および、玉取崎展望台が絶景スポットでした
川平湾は、グラスボートに乗車すると時間がなく、絶景スポットに行けません
バスは古いため、シートピッチが狭いのが難点です

Since it was just before Golden Week, there were only 10 participants, which made for a comfortable experience with plenty of space on the bus. Six out of the ten participants were foreigners, and it was enjoyable to chat during the meal. Shirakawa-go was in full bloom with cherry blossoms, and we were able to see the beautiful scenery of the gassho-zukuri houses, the cherry blossoms, and the snowy mountains in the background. The guide was also very kind, which was great. I planned this trip as a birthday present for my mother, and she was very happy, so I'm glad we went. Thank you very much.

GW前だったため、参加者が10名と少人数で、バスも広く使えて快適でした。10人中6人が外国人参加者でお食事中にお話も出来て楽しかったです。
白川郷はちょうど桜が満開で、合掌造りの家と桜と背後の雪山の素敵な景色を見ることが出来ました。ガイドさんも親切な方で良かったです。母親の誕生日プレゼントに計画した旅行でしたが、母が大変喜んでくれて、行ってよかったです。ありがとうございました。

I visited Ishigaki Island as a port of call on the Diamond Princess cruise, and I definitely wanted to ride the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island! I made a reservation.

I was a bit worried about meeting at the location, but once I arrived at the remote island terminal, I was able to check in without getting lost. When I reached Taketomi Island, a shuttle was waiting to take me to the water buffalo cart boarding area, and I was able to board smoothly.

Since I had to return to the ship, I didn't go out for other sightseeing, but next time, I would like to take my time and explore!

ダイヤモンドプリンセスクルーズの寄港先に石垣島があり、是非とも竹富島の水牛車に乗りたい！い予約しました。

現地集合の為少し心配でしたが、離島ターミナルにつけば、迷う事無くにチェックイン出来、竹富島へ、島に着くと、水牛車乗り場までの送迎車が待っていて、スムーズに水牛車に乗る事が出来ました。
船に戻る時間があったので、他の観光は出なかったのですが、次回はゆっくりと観光してみたいです。　

It was amazing to see everything! However it was really rushed, by the time you finished the toilet break you had to quickly walk around and get photos, than straight back on the bus to the next place.

Departing on the southern route at 3:40 PM!
I used this service after staying overnight in Osaka for work.

I didn't realize Osaka had so many attractions!
It's said to boast some of Japan's most famous temples, and in the Tennoji area, I visited Shitennoji, which was established by Prince Shotoku, the oldest in Japan.
From the bus, I learned about interesting alleys and features, so I'm looking forward to my next business trip!

On the way back, the bus used the highway, and I was impressed by the size of the concert hall. It was great to fully enjoy Osaka's incredible energy and culture.
When we got off the bus, the guide greeted us, and a spontaneous round of applause arose from the passengers, which was very moving.

I definitely want to use the northern route next time as well.

１５時40分発の南ルートで出発！
仕事で大阪に前泊しての利用でした。

大阪ってこんなに見所があったんですね！
日本で有数の寺院の数々を誇るそうで、天王寺地区では
日本最古の聖徳太子が建立した四天王寺がありました。
バスの中から、面白そうな横丁や特徴を教えてもらえたので、
次回の出張が楽しみに♪

バスは、帰りは高速道路を利用していましたが、音楽ホールの大きさに感心したりで、
大阪の偉大なエネルギーと文化を満喫出来たのが良かったです。
降車する時、ガイドさんが挨拶された時、車中から自然と感謝の拍手が湧き起り、それはとても感動的でした☆

また是非とも、北ルートも利用したいと思っております。

The time for sightseeing is too short. If possible, instead of one hour at Kiyomizu-dera, having one and a half hours might be more enjoyable. I hope improvements can be made.

観光する時間が短い過ぎるなどです。
出来れば、例、清水寺で1時間ではなく、出来れば、1時間30分があれば、楽しいかも知れません。
出来れば改善するようお願いします。

We had about an hour and a half to spare before the water buffalo cart departed back to Iriomote Island. Since Yubu Island is not very large, we needed to be creative with how we spent our time. Many other guests were also sitting and waiting for the time to come.

由布島から西表島に戻る際の水牛車の出発まで、1時間半ほどあり時間をもてあました。由布島は大きな島ではないため、時間の使い方に工夫が必要。他のお客さんも座って時間が来るのを待っている方が多かった。
