All Reviews for Bus Tours

A time and space where you can forget about work amidst the hustle and bustle of work fatigue. However, the humidity was tough on the body, but overall it was fantastic.

仕事疲れのバタバタとした時間から、仕事を忘れられる時間と空間。
ただ、蒸し暑いのが体には厳しく困りましてが、総じて最高でした。

In the morning, we gathered near the sightseeing bus stop in Namba at 9 AM. About 70% of the participants were foreigners, while around 30% were Japanese. It was helpful that the guide provided explanations in both English and Japanese about the places we were going to visit.

The great thing about this tour is that it takes you directly to the sightseeing spots in Kyoto by bus. I found it helpful since I had a poor sense of geography. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tofu meal in Kyoto and was very satisfied.

朝、9時になんばの観光バス乗り場近くに集合しました。外国の方が7割、日本の方は3割くらいだったかと。バス内ではこれから訪れる場所について英語と日本語で説明してくださり助かりました。
このツアーの良い点は、京都の観光名所にピンポイントでバスで連れて行ってくれることです。地理的な感覚が乏しかったので助かりました。京都の豆腐御膳も堪能して大満足でした。

The price is affordable for a tour that goes to various places. The tour guide's explanations were on par with a professional guide. The duration of stay at each location was appropriate. The total duration of the tour was also just right.

色々な場所へ行くツアーとしては価格は安い
添乗員の解説がガイド並みだった
それぞれの場所の滞在時間が適切だった
ツアーのトータル時間もほど良かった

I was able to efficiently travel around various places using the expressway, and I enjoyed it. Both the driver and the guide were very pleasant. The meals were delicious, and the views were great.
I thought it would have been nice to receive a simple itinerary upon boarding.

高速を利用して各地を効率良く廻ってくれてな楽しめた。運転手さんもガイドさんもとても感じ良かった。食事も美味しく眺めも良かった。
　乗車の際簡単な日程表が貰えると良かったなと思う。

It was very convenient to go to the places I wanted by bus. I don't want to say too much, but it was very disappointing to see the poor manners of some Chinese tourists (talking on the phone inside the bus, eating and drinking, reclining their seats without saying anything, not keeping to the meeting time, not listening to the guide, etc.). This was the worst experience I've had among many bus tours I've participated in. The guide was very kind and tried to handle various situations, but it was unfortunate for them. It would have been nice if there were charging options for mobile phones on the bus.

行きたいところをバスで行けるのでとても楽でした。あまり言いたくはないけど、中国人の方のマナーの悪さ（社内での通話、飲食、椅子の背もたれも何も言わず倒す、集合時間を守らない、ガイドのいうことを聞かないなど）がとても残念でした。今まで多くのバスツアーに参加しましたが、一番ひどかったです。ガイドさんはいろいろと対応してくれて親切でしたが、かわいそうだった。社内で携帯の充電でできるとよかった。

There are no activities, so you can't have a memorable experience, but it's a great spot for island hopping! The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were nice.

アクティビティが無いので、心に残る体験は味わえないが、アイランドホッピングとしてはいいとこ取り！
西表島のマングローブクルーズ、由布島への水牛車は良かったですよ

You can reach the destinations by tram, but since I didn't have much time, I decided to join this tour. It turned out to be the right choice.
During the bus ride, the tour guide provides explanations about the places we visit, but the guide doesn't accompany us the entire time at the destinations, so it's mostly a self-guided experience.
I was scheduled to return home on an afternoon flight, so thanks to this tour, I was able to visit all the places I wanted to see.
Thank you very much.

訪れる先は路面電車でも行けたりしますが、あまり時間がなかったので、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。結果、正解でした。
移動中のバスの中でバスガイドさんが訪問先の説明をしてくれますが、訪問先ではずっとガイドさんが同行というわけではなく、ほぼセルフでの観光になります。
午後のフライトで地元に戻る予定でしたので、このツアーに参加できたおかげで行きたいところ全て周れました。
ありがとうございました。

It was a tour blessed with the best weather, but meeting our guide, Mr. Chen, was the highlight! Even as a solo traveler over 60, I was able to create wonderful memories without feeling lonely! The next day, I had the miracle of running into someone at Dazaifu Tenmangu, making it a truly enjoyable trip.

最高の天気に恵まれたツアーでしたが、ガイドの陳さんとの出会いも最高！
60歳過ぎの一人旅でも寂しさを感じる事なく楽しい思い出ができました！
次の日太宰府天満で偶然出会うと言う奇跡もあり楽しい旅となりました。

The cruise while listening to the explanation of mangroves, riding a water buffalo to Yufuin Island, and exploring Taketomi Island by renting a bicycle were all fantastic experiences. In the second half, we had the freedom to explore, and I felt it was efficient in covering the key spots, so I think participating was the right choice. The water buffalo was very smart and cute. It was so endearing to see it pulling the cart.

マングローブの説明を聞きながらのクルーズ、水牛に乗って由布島行ったり、竹富島ではレンタサイクルでの島巡り。後半は自由にできて、効率的に要所を押さえられ、参加して正解だと思いました。
水牛がとても賢く、可愛かったです。荷車を引っ張ってる姿だとても健気でした。

I had a great time taking photos and feeding the water buffalo. By the end, the grandma cow that started last had made it to the top.

水牛と一緒に写真とエサやり、楽しかったです。
最後にスタートしたお婆ちゃん牛が、降りる頃にはトップになってました。

The travel was challenging, but it was fun. The tour guide was amazing!! They were very polite and explained everything clearly, even to us Japanese people, so we were satisfied. They also took a lot of photos, which became great memories.

移動は大変でしたが、楽しかったです。
添乗員さんがすごい！！日本人の私たちにも丁寧にわかりやすく対応してくださったので満足です。写真もいっぱいとってくださり、思い出になりました。

My first visit to Asahiyama Zoo became a wonderful memory. The one who added color to that memory was the excellent bus guide. Especially, their beautiful voice was as pleasant to listen to as a voice actor or announcer, and their clear articulation without any stumbles made the experience very comfortable. I could sense their intelligence through the content of the guidance and their humor. They were the best bus guide I have ever encountered. Please continue to guide with confidence. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Thank you! 😊

初めての旭山動物園、良い思い出となりました。その思い出に彩りを添えて頂いたのが名バスガイドさんでした。特に声優、アナウンサーにも劣らない聞き心地良い美しい声、まったく噛まない滑舌の良さ、案内の内容とユーモアから知性を感じることができ、とても快適でした。これまで出会ったバスガイドさんの中で一番良かったです。これからも自信を持って案内してくださいね。ご活躍を願ってます。ありがとう😊

I am a 50-year-old man.
I spent one day of my two-night, three-day solo trip on this tour.
In Okinawa, there are no trains, and the tourist attractions are scattered, so it's typical to rent a car to visit each place. However, I felt it was a waste to rent a car alone, and I've had experiences where I ended up spending too much time relaxing at my destination and couldn't visit many places. So I thought joining a tour would solve that issue! It took a lot of courage to participate alone, but in the end, it was really great!

Since the itinerary is managed, I could think for myself about how to spend my time at each location.

I was anxious about being alone, but about 90% of the participants were inbound tourists, so I was the only foreigner in the group, which felt like being on an overseas trip, and surprisingly, I didn't feel lonely at all ^_^

I thought it might be better to change the content a bit. During the bus ride, there is a sightseeing guide using GPS from a dedicated site, and it was really well done. There were about 25 checkpoints, and every time we passed one, the guide would play, but you can't hear it without earphones...

Also, even though it supports other languages, it seemed that most people weren't using it due to a lack of explanation.

I think it would have been more enjoyable for everyone if earphones had been provided as well.

Additionally, the Okashi Goten (Snack Castle) is also on Kokusai Street, so it's not really necessary.

I had made a reservation for steak and lobster at Sam's as an option.

I was anxious because there was no explanation about what it would be like, but I'll share my experience.

Once we got off the bus, we basically dispersed, but those who had reservations at Sam's received a map and were told to go here because they had a reservation. They were just making the reservation for us.

The meal cost might be cheaper for those on the tour even if you order the same thing. It felt like you just paid for any additional orders when leaving the restaurant. Sam's offers acrobatic cooking right in front of you, which was really impressive! However, since I was alone, I couldn't make any noise, and watching the chef one-on-one might have looked a bit comical to others, haha.

Overall, I had a fantastic time! I would love to do it again! 🎵

私は50歳男性です。
二泊三日の1人旅の1日をこのツアーで過ごしました。
沖縄には電車が無く、観光名所が散らばっているのでレンタカーを借りてそれぞれの地へ行くのがセオリーですが、一人で車を借りるのももったいないし、目的地でのんびりしちゃうと意外にも時間が過ぎてしまい沢山回れないって言う経験もしてるので、ツアーだとその点が解消されて良いのでは！と思い、1人で参加するのはとても勇気がいりましたが、結果とても良かったです！

工程管理されてるので現地での時間の使い方だけを自分で考えて回れました。

そして1人で不安だったけど、9割程インバウンドの観光客で気を使うも何もこの中では私が外国人で、海外旅行にでも来る感じで、心細さは以外と無かったです^_^

内容を変えた方が良いのでは？と思ったのは、バス移動中、専用サイトからGPSを利用した観光案内があるのですが、これがまたよく出来ていて、チェックポイント25箇所くらいだったかな、そこを通るたびにちゃんと案内が流れるんですが、イヤホンが無いと聞けないんです…。

あと他の国の言葉にも対応しているのに、説明不足で他の方はほとんどそれを利用していないようでした。

イヤホンもセットで用意した方がみんなもっと楽しかったんじゃ無いかなと思いました。

あと、お菓子御殿は国際通りにもあるので、要らないですねー。

私はオプションでサムズのステーキとロブスターを予約していました。

これどう言う感じなのか説明が書かれていないので不安だったんですが、体験した事を共有しておきますね。

バスから降りたら基本的には解散ですが、サムズ予約してる方は、地図をもらって、予約してるからここへ行ってくださいとの事。
代わりに予約してくれてるだけの事ですね。

食事代は同じ物を頼んでもツアーからの方が安いかも知れません。
追加注文の分だけ支払って店を出る感じでした。
サムズはアクロバチックな調理を目の前で見せてくれるのでとてもおーー！と思ったのですが、なにせ1人なもんで声も出せずにシェフと一対一のこれを見てる姿は周りから見たら少し滑稽に写っていたかも知れませんねw

全て含めてめっちゃ楽しめました！
またお願いしたいです🎵

It started to rain where we were riding on the low boat. I'm glad we were able to tour somehow. Thank you to the bus guide for coming to greet us with an umbrella.

ロウﾌﾞｳｴｲに乗ったところに雨がふって来ました。なんとか見学は出来良かったです。バスガイドさんが傘を持って迎えに来てくださりありがとうございます。

The guide's instructions and explanations were very detailed and left a good impression. However, the Pineapple Garden was clearly a stop for sales purposes, and there was no opportunity to see the actual growth process of the pineapples, which made me question the purpose of the visit. It would have been better to extend our stay on Kouri Island and allocate time to go up to the high point of the island to enjoy the view.

On the other hand, the hotel we stayed at that night was along the way back, and even though it wasn't a designated drop-off point, I was very grateful to be allowed to get off near the hotel. I appreciate the flexible drop-off arrangements.

ガイドさんの案内、説明は大変細かく好印象。しかしパイナップルガーデンは完全に販売目的の立ち寄りでパイナップルが生育過程でパイナップル本体を見ることがなかく、何のための立ち寄りか疑問を感じた。その分古宇利島滞在を長くして、島の高台まで行って眺めを見る時間に当てた方がいいです。
ただ、当日泊まるホテルは帰り道沿いであったが下車ポイントではないにもかかわらず、ホテル近くで途中下車させて戴き大変助かりました。柔軟な下車対応には感謝します。

It was truly the best bus tour. We were taken to places we could never have gone to on our own, and we made many precious memories. Also, the tour guide was amazing. He was a young man from Taiwan and very kind. His funny advice still lingers in my ears. If I use Veltra again next time, I would like to request that tour guide (laughs). He was really wonderful and the best tour guide. Thank you for your help.

ホントに最高のバスツアーでした。
私達だけでは、絶対に行けない場所を
ツアーで連れて行って頂き、大変貴重な
思い出が沢山できました。
そして、添乗員のお兄さん、最高でした。台湾出身の若い男性でしたが…とても優しく。面白いアドバイスが今も耳に残っています。
もし、次もベルトラさんを利用させていただくなら、あの添乗員さんでお願い致します（笑）ホントにステキで、最高の添乗員さんでした。お世話になりました。

The lunch at Lake Toya was amazing.

The bears at the Bear Ranch were playful. 😊😊

It was the best! 👍👍

The guide was also a fun person.

This bus tour was the best. Thank you!

洞爺湖の昼食、最高でした

又熊牧場の熊達のお茶目で😊😊

最高でした〜👍👍

ガイドさんも楽しい方でした

今回のバスツアー最高でした
ありがとうございました

Nagasaki has good transportation options like streetcars and buses, making it easy to explore even alone. However, if you want to spend some time leisurely around Glover Garden or Oura Church after departing from Nagasaki Station, this tour, which allows for a stop along the way, is efficient. The simple explanations provided for places like the Confucius Hall and Glover Garden make it easy to understand, and the entrance fee included in this price is reasonable and appreciated in today's circumstances.

長崎は市電やバスなど交通便は良いので1人でも観光出来ますが、長崎駅発で最終的にグラバー園や大浦天主堂辺りでゆっくり過ごしたいならば、途中終了も可能なこのツアーは効率良いです。孔子廊やグラバー園など、簡単な説明をしてくれてから周るのも分かりやすいですし、入園料も入りこのお値段は、今のご時世ではリーズナブルでありがたいです。

It was a long journey from Sapporo to Furano, but every spot we visited was wonderful, and we were able to see the magnificent scenery unique to Hokkaido from the car window. The staff included the driver and two guides, both of whom were very kind and friendly. There was a guided tour using earphones, which allowed us to gather information while enjoying a fun trip.

札幌から富良野までの旅ですので移動が長かったですが、見学したスポットはどれも素敵で車窓からも北海道ならでは壮大な景色を見ることができました。
スタッフは運転士さん、ガイドさん2名で、お二人ともとても優しく親切な方でした。
イヤホンを利用しての観光ガイドがあり、情報収集もしながら楽しい旅を過ごす事ができました。

Both the World Heritage Site of Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala are mystical, and I felt like I received a lot of power from nature. The morning tour allows you to drop off at Naha Airport on the way back, making it a great option for your last day! For visiting the Valley of Gangala individually, a reservation for the 2,500 yen tour is required. This tour takes you to two locations, and you can hear stories about Okinawa from a veteran guide on the bus. I thought it was quite a good deal.

世界文化遺産の斎場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も神秘的で、大自然からたくさんのパワーをいただいた気がします。
午前中のツアーで、帰りは那覇空港下車も可能ですので、最終日の参加にもおすすめです!
ガンガラーの谷は、個人で行く場合も、2500円のツアー予約が必要です。こちらのツアーは、2箇所行けて、バス車内ではベテランガイドさんから沖縄のお話が聞けます。かなりお得だと思いました。

My wife and I participated together. The scenery at the planned sightseeing spots was wonderful, but the guide introduced us to delicious food at each location (including the rest area for toilet breaks), which satisfied both our eyes and our stomachs.

妻と二人で参加させて頂きました。
予定の観光地の景色も素晴らしかったですが、ガイドさんがそれぞれの場所(トイレ休憩のSAも含めて)の美味しい食べ物を紹介してくれ、目もお腹も満足しました。

The tour guide provided explanations about the areas we passed through on the bus, so it was nice that it wasn't just a ride. I think it's a great deal to be able to enjoy a full day for this price.

The Churaumi Aquarium is quite far from the bus parking lot, and it took a lot of time just for the round trip, so I wish we had a bit more time. It was tough to dash back after the dolphin show!

After getting tired from walking at the Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park was disappointing as there were no pineapple fields, and we just walked around the ornamental plants. I would have been happy if we could have gone directly to the souvenir shop.

添乗員さんがバスの中で通過する地域事に説明してくださり、ただ乗ってるだけではなかったので、良かったです。
この料金で1日遊べるのはお得だとおもう。

美ら海水族館はバスの駐車場までが遠く、往復だけでも時間がかかったので、もう少し時間が欲しかった。
イルカショーが終わってダッシュで戻るのは大変！

美ら海水族館で歩き疲れた後のパイナップルパークは、パイナップル畑もなく、ただ、観葉植物の植え込みをグルグル歩くだけで、期待はずれでした。直接お土産売り場だけに行けたら嬉しかった。

The number of steps to the shrine, the river, and the promenade in Takachiho – I was drenched in sweat, but it was fun. Our guide, Taku, skillfully spoke three languages and kept us entertained. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again when I go to Fukuoka.

神社までの階段数、河原、高千穂の遊歩道～汗だくになりましたが、楽しかったです。ガイドの卓さん、自由に3か国語を操り、楽しませて下さいました。ありがとうございました。また、福岡行ったら参加したいと思いました。

I love this great experience specially with our guy tour Allan Tan, he is great, keep you informed at time and give us excellent advice . I wish I done this trip the first day I arrived to Japan.

The scenery was not great due to the rain, so I was very disappointed, but it was good to have a tour since it allowed us to efficiently visit distant places that would require a rental car. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

雨で景色とか良くなかったのでとても残念でしたが、遠方を効率よく廻れるし、レンタカーでも借りないと行けない場所なので、ツアーにしたのは良かったです。
天気が良ければ最高だったと思います。

The open bus offers a fantastic view. The guide's explanations were very clear and helpful. I would like to experience other courses as well.

オープンバスなので見晴らしが最高です。ガイドさんの案内も大変分かりやすくて良かったです。他のコースも体験したいと思います。

The guide provided very clear announcements and was very attentive in introducing Osaka souvenirs, which was great. We were able to see various famous spots in Osaka within an hour. However, regarding the meeting point, when I showed the voucher to the staff at Osaka Station and the luggage storage, they didn't know where it was. It would be helpful if you could add clearer directions for that.

ガイドさんはとても分かりやすいアナウンスで、大阪土産の紹介などもとても丁寧に対応下さり良かったです。
1時間で大阪の色々な名所も観る事が出来ました。
ひとつ、集合場所ですが、地下鉄大阪駅でバウチャーを見せ駅員や荷物預かりの人に伺っても分からないとの事でもう少し分かりやすく案内を足していただけると助かるかと思いました。

I'm glad I signed up for the tour on my long-awaited trip to Okinawa. The warm hospitality of the Okinawan people at the places I visited was delightful. In particular, the guide's voice was very easy to hear, and the driver was experienced. The duration of our stay at the sightseeing spots was just right.

久しぶりの沖縄旅行、ツアーを申し込んでよかったです。
　訪れた場所では沖縄の人々の優しいおもてなしがあり、楽しかったです。
　特に、ガイドさんの声がとても聞きやすく、ドライバーさんはベテランです。観光地にもちょうど良い滞在時間でした。
　

It was my first time in Shirakawa-go, and it was an unforgettable, amazing experience. The plan included a delicious lunch with Hida beef and sweet grilled ayu, as well as ample time for leisurely exploration. Every aspect of the tour experience was wonderful, from the friendly tour guide to the beautiful interpreter who spoke English well.

人生初の白川郷でしたが、忘れられない最高の体験でした。
飛騨牛や鮎の甘露煮が美味なランチやじっくりと散策出来る時間を取ったプラン、親切な添乗員さんや美人で英語の上手な通訳さんなどどれをとっても素晴らしいツアー体験でした。

It was a great tour where we could visit many places in one day, and we had a guide with us, which made it a good deal. However, there were too many places to go, and I ended up quite exhausted. It was also difficult to find the right timing for meals, so I ended up eating ice cream all day.

一日でたくさんの場所を回れてガイドさんもついてお得なツアーでした。
ただ行く場所が多すぎてかなりクタクタにはなりました。
食事するタイミングも難しくアイスばかり食べる一日になっちゃいました。
