All Reviews for Tickets

Great day, specially for kids... however too many people, which make difficult to enjoy the attractions.

We have enough experience with hop on hop off buses in many cities around the world and I believe that the info given during Tokyo tour could become more interesting if they talk about Japanese culture, tradition and the county it self instead of just taking when there is interesting city seen place !

The rest of the tour was music back ground

I hope the next time something could change

Regards

Best way to keep awake after trip from Europe and see as much as possible from Tokyo in short time

As promised the Hop-On Hop-Off bus made its’ way through the route, allowing us to get a sense of part of Tokyo. Unfortunately, the commentary was very stilted, and lacked history, and details. I usually enjoy getting an overview of a city on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus, but felt that we hit only a few highlights of Tokyo and the information received was less than satisfactory. The Hop-On Hop-Off offered a means to get to some places, but beyond that it was disappointing.

French language

The voice in French was recorded with an automatic and robotic voice like Google translate. It was totally unnatural.

Also, the story suddenly stopped when the bus was crossing a new building in order to explain the new building.

Please take care of non English languages guys!

It is value for money to trip in your rail loop. So comfortable and on time. Nice train and condition.

The owls were very cute. I recommend the "feeding experience." It costs an additional 500 yen, but it's worth it!! You can feed them directly or let them perch on your arm and pet them, which was super cute. Each owl has a different personality, like the attention-seeking "Azuki" and the very calm "Bob." I definitely encourage everyone to go and enjoy this healing experience! 😊

とても可愛いフクロウ達でした。
お勧めは「エサやり体験」。別途＠500円必要ですが
その価値あり！！
直接あげたり、腕に乗せて撫でたりって感じで、超可愛かったです。
フクロウそれぞれ性格が異なり、かまってちゃんの「あずきちゃん」や、とってもおとなしい「ぼぶさん」などなど。
是非皆さんも癒されに行ってください(^^)/

This pass is great for travel to kyoto and nara from nagoya.
We were a bit disappointed that it did not include reserved seats on express trains and we had to add money for that.

A very convenient and cheap option if want to see places of interest in kyoto, nara, osaka and the surrounding areas. Though it is a free seating, one can travel in comfort and most importantly, choose your own timing..

The Kintetsu staff were very helpful and even assisted to get a ramp for us at every station as we had a wheelchair.

The tour itself was an excellent way of seeing some landmarks in Tokyo if you are short of time. We highly recommend online booking before you turn up at one of stations. Although the sign at the station states you can purchase tickets on the bus, at the counter, and sales offices, and no reservations required, when we turned up at the Skytree Station on 15 April, the lady at the ticket booth insisted that the buses are full and there are no seats available. She told us even if we waited for the next buses, there were no guarantee there would be seats. I went outside, booked and paid for 2 same day tickets via Veltra, went back inside the ticket office, gave the lady my booking reference number, got my tickets straight away and got on the next bus. I didn't understand why she was adamant she couldn't sell us tickets and the buses were all full when we first went in. As we were leaving Tokyo the next day, we almost missed out on experiencing the bus tour if I had not tried getting the tickets via Veltra. To avoid same experience, we highly recommend booking via Veltra.

Staff was very friendly but the overall experience didn't compare with other open air bus trips in other major cities. The monotone English audio was minimal and mostly uninteresting. Lots of room for improvement there. Not many stops and gap time between stops is quite long. I agree with other reviewers- spend your money on a cab.

There are quite a few chairs available that can be used even if you are not utilizing the café. If it's not crowded, I think you can sit and relax comfortably. (There were also regulars reading while enjoying a beer.)

On the west side, you can see the mountains quite close, allowing you to feel the nature of Sapporo.

カフェを利用していなくても使えるイスが割と多めに用意されています。混んでいなければ座ってゆっくる過ごせると思います。（ビールを飲みながら読書している常連さんもおられました。）

西側は山が結構近くに見え、札幌の自然を感じられると思います。

I booked this activity for my first full day in Toyko. It was easy to find even though I wasn't used to navigating Tokyo yet and very close to the Harajuku Station. The experience was amazing. You could tell that the staff loves the owls and is very invested in their well being.

Perfect journey Nagoya - Uenoshi - Osaka + super Ninja Museum!

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! We also really enjoyed spending the day in Yoshino! It was only 90 minutes on the train from Osaka, definitely worth a day trip!

As I live in HK, would like to make the payment in HKD rather than USD.

I was able to participate more casually than I expected, and the inclusion of one drink made it a great value! The behind-the-scenes tour was also a very valuable experience, allowing me to catch a glimpse of 650 years of history and tradition. The plans for future events are filled with various creative ideas, and I definitely want to participate again.

思っていた以上にフランクに参加できて、ワンドリンク付き
というのもとてもコスパが高かったです！
舞台裏ツアーもとても貴重な体験で、650年の歴史、伝統を
垣間見ることが出来ました。
今後のイベントの予定も色々な工夫が凝らされていて、
また、是非参加したいと思います。

It provides wide range area travel among Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, as well as Mie and Nara. If not a rush tour, it is a cost-effective ticket. For the limited express train users, extra cost for the limited express ticket make it less attractive, but still an alternative choice.

The cafe was a little hard to find (it was raining the day we went) but, once there it was amazing!!!!! The owls are so CUTE and very chill. (I think they are used to people by now). Chai was my fav only because he was the chillest and, during the petting demonstration/owl introduction, he looked the happiest to be getting pets. Would definitely do again.

The reservation charge for a return trip between Osaka and Nagoya was higher than the pass price.

Great organization and coordination! Will definitely use Veltra again.

The day was cold but we made the most out of it, hopping off almost every stop. Every bus had blankets, which helped a lot!
The red line has many more stops so we spent most of our time on it. The skytree and ice skating below it was great and our 3 year old daughter enjoyed! The kimonos and "backstreet" shopping near the Ueno stop were great to see and experience. The timing of the audio playing was not always accurate, but acceptable.
The blue line has few stops, but still offers plenty, including the interesting stores around Tokyo Tower.
While the Tokyo hop on hop off bus does not have as many stops as other cities, my wife and I felt it was a great way to get a "taste" of many Tokyo attractions!

I've used hop on and hop off bus in many cities, so I chose Sky bus.
As it was so complicated to use public transportation in Tokyo, It was good way to travel major places without transfer.
But I could only sit upstairs without roof, it was so cold, especially during running highway to Ginza.
I think it would be better if the bus runs more hot spots like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi and so on.

It was our first time in Tokyo and I want it to be stress free so we decided to get a hop on hop off bus. The experience was wonderful. We had the top view of the Tokyo with the cold weather. It was awesome. Not to mention it was very easy to book thru VELTRA. We booked the day before only but they still had available seats. Awesome!

The location was easy to find within Sapporo Station.
It was warm indoors, and there were places to sit, which was nice.
I went around 6 PM and left around 8:30 PM, but it was so crowded near 8 PM that there were no seats available.

場所も札幌駅内で分かりやすかったです。
室内なので暖かく、座る場所もあるのでよかったです。
18時ごろ行って20時半頃出ましたが、20時近くは座る場所もない程混雑していました。

The buses were very comfortable and blankets were provide on top of heating which made it both comfortable and enjoyable on the whole. The routes covered all the key parts of Tokyo which I wanted to visit. The commentary could be further improved. On the whole I enjoyed the trip!

We were glad to learn our bus was a fully roofed bus in the red route. In January Tokyo can be cold and being open air is a hard pill to swallow.
The blue route was open roof, but they provided blankets so it wasn't as bad as expected.

The routes were just ok. The red one is good, but the explanation on the audioguide was limited. Too much music and too little insight information. However the blue line had no information at all and the route was a waste. It's short (53 minutes) and only two stops before going back home, missing all the important points of the city.

It's kind of expensive for what they give you, compared to other cities in the world.

We decided to take a ride on the Sky Bus as a way of seeing the connectivity of the city, which sometimes can be difficult to establish when you travel underground the whole time. We were a group of four, 2 adults and 2 kids and enjoyed every last minute of our ride! The English guide was great and the hand warmers and blankets worked a treat to keep everyone toasty and warm.

We had a great time on the Hop-on Hop-off bus around Tokyo. We were able to see the sights and stop at the areas of interest to us. When the temperatures dropped, the staff politely offered blankets to help us keep warm. We took the blue line and most of the red line in one day, and wished we had more time for a multi day pass. Everyone we interacted with was polite and helpful.
