All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

On the last day of my trip to Osaka, I had a short stay before heading home by plane in the evening. I used the Namba route to transfer to the Umeda route, spending a total of three hours.

Since there wasn't much time for transfers, I was informed that if the previous course was delayed, it would be difficult to make it, but thanks to the coordination of the guides from the preceding and following vehicles, I was able to smoothly board the Umeda route right away. I am very grateful for their thoughtfulness.

The sightseeing tour on the open deck was very pleasant, and I was able to sit at the front, enjoying a clear view of the beautiful city of Osaka through the clean windows.

The three hours flew by, and the course, which covered key sightseeing spots, is well-suited for those of us who don't have much time. I would definitely like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

大阪旅行最終日。夕方には飛行機で帰宅しなくてはいけない短時間の滞在で【南】なんばルートから【北】うめだルートに乗換え、計3時間利用しました。
乗換時間があまりありませんでしたので、前のコースが遅れれば無理と言われており承諾しておりましたが、前後の車両のガイドさんの連携により無事直ぐに【北】うめだルートにスムーズに乗ることができました。その心遣いに大変感謝しております。
オープンデッキでの名所巡りは、とても心地よく先頭に座らせていただきましたが窓も綺麗で素敵な大阪の街をクリアに見る事ができました。
あっという間の３時間で、このように要所要所の観光名所を抑えたコース取りは私達のようにあまり時間が取れない方にとってマッチングしたコースではないでしょうか。
また機会があれば是非利用したいと思っております。

I used this service for a trip to Osaka with my elderly mother. Since my mother has difficulty walking and we had a short stay, this option was a perfect match for our needs. While covering the main tourist attractions, the experience of sightseeing on a double-decker bus allowed us to feel the atmosphere of Osaka directly, which was very open and pleasant. My mother seemed to really enjoy the vibe of Osaka.

Although getting off to explore is not allowed, you can optionally get off at the last stop, so there is a bit of freedom. I definitely want to use this service again when I visit Osaka. Thank you!

高齢の母との大阪二人旅で利用させてもらいました。
母は足が悪いのと短時間での滞在で、その条件にぴったりマッチングしたのがこちらでした。主要な観光名所を抑えながら、２階建てバスで大阪の風を直に感じながらの見学はとてもオープンで心地よいものでした。
母も大喜びで大阪の雰囲気を楽しんでくれたようでした。
実際に降りて見学をすることは不可ですが、途中最後に任意で降りる事もできますので少しは自由がきくと思います。
また大阪に行った際には是非利用したいと思っております。ありがとうございました！

The weather was great, and since it was before Golden Week, the open-deck bus was very pleasant. I think it depends on the road conditions, but at spots where we could see Osaka Castle well, there was a service that stopped the bus for photo opportunities. The guide was also fun and entertaining, adding some humor to the tour.

お天気にも恵まれ、またGW前で空いていたので、オープンデッキバスはとても気持ちが良かったです。道路事情によると思いますが大阪城がよく見えるスポットでは、撮影の間バスを停車してくださるサービスもありました。ガイドのお姉さんも、笑いを入れつつ楽しい案内でした。

The tour route is perfect with excellent service guide

On the morning of the tour, when I arrived at the designated location, I found myself surrounded by foreigners, and a person in charge was explaining things in English. While I secretly hoped this might not be the tour I was looking for, I was suddenly called by name. A bit confused, I boarded the bus, but that day turned out to be very enjoyable. The guide was simply the best. She skillfully switched between Japanese and English, providing explanations with plenty of humor and kindness. Jewel (Yoshikawa) took on the role of explaining in two languages consecutively, but she handled everything with care until the end. Having Jewel around gave me an indescribable sense of reassurance, which must be due to her personality. Through the repeated explanations in English and Japanese, I ended up understanding a little bit of English, which was an unexpected gain. Thank you so much, Jewel, for being energetic, cheerful, and kind.

当日の朝、指定の場所に行くと、周りは外国の方ばかりで、担当らしい方が英語で説明されていました。『このツアーではないかも…』と密かな期待を抱きつつ待っていると、いきなり名前を呼ばれてしまいました。少し戸惑いながらもバスに乗り込みましたが、その一日はとても楽しいものになりました。何と言ってもガイドさんが最高でした。日本語と英語を自在に操り、ユーモアたっぷりに、そして親切丁寧に説明してくれました。ジュエルさん(吉川さん)は二か国語で立て続けに説明するので二人分の役割を果たすことになりますが、最後まで丁寧に対応してくれました。ジュエルさんがいると、何とも言えない安心感があり、それは彼女の人柄によるものでしょう。英語と日本語で繰り返される説明で、終いにはほんの少しですが英語も理解できるようになり、思わぬ収穫となりました。元気で明るく、親切なジュエルさん、本当にありがとうございました。

I read online that seat reservations were not possible, so I went early and waited, but you had already assigned seats. I was not satisfied with the way the guide explained this situation. In the end, I spent time in the assigned seat, but it felt pointless to have chosen the double-decker bus.

座席指定できないとwebにあったので仕方なく早めに行って待ったのに、そちらでしっかり座席指定されていた。その際のガイドの説明の仕方が納得出来なかった。結局指定された席で過ごしたが、2回建バスを選択した意味がない。

I participated from Hyogo, and the guide's explanations were wonderful; I learned a lot of things I didn't know before! At just 1500 yen, it's affordable, and it takes less than 60 minutes, so you can hop on during your shopping. Next, I will take the Umeda route! I'm looking forward to it!

兵庫からの参加でしたが、ガイドさんの案内が素晴らしく、今まで知らなかったことをたくさん知りました！ 1500円と安く、時間も60分以内で、買い物の途中で乗れますね。
次はうめだルートに乗ります！ 楽しみです！

While riding the bus, I was able to enjoy sightseeing in the city, and since the weather was great, the open-deck bus felt wonderful. It went by in a flash.

バスに乗りながら、市内観光が出来、天気にも恵まれたので、オープンデッキのバスは気持ち良かったです。あっという間でした。

When my parents came to visit from Kanagawa, we used this service. We had a fulfilling time. Thank you very much.

神奈川から両親が遊びに来た際、利用させていただきました。充実した時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

We had a great time on a double-decker bus during our family trip. We made wonderful memories. Last year we took the Namba route, and this year we chose the Umeda route. Both routes allowed us to experience the atmosphere of Osaka.

家族旅行で2階建デッキバスで楽しい時間を過ごしました。いい思い出が出来ました。昨年はなんばルート、今年は、うめだルート運行ルートにしました。両ルートも大阪の街の雰囲気を味わいました。

My husband, who is from Tokyo, and I participated in the Kita course during our visit to my family home for Golden Week. The guide shared a lot of historical stories about Osaka that even I, as an Osakan, didn't know, which was very informative. Next, I would like to try the Namba course and also take a boat ride on the Okawa River! Thank you very much!

東京出身の主人とゴールデンウィークに私の実家に里帰りの際にキタコースに
参加しました。大阪人の私も知らない大阪の歴史やそれにちなんだお話をガイドの方が話してくれてとても為になりました。次は難波コースや途中下車をして大川の船にも乗ってみたいです!ありがとうございました!

I thought it would be warm since the temperature was 21℃, but the wind was cold and it felt chilly. It would be good to have a jacket or something. The guide explained things clearly, which was great.

気温21℃なので暖かいと思っていましたが風邪が冷たくて寒かったです。
上着などがあるといいかと思います。
ガイドさんも分かりやすく説明してくれて良かったです。

I was glad that I could efficiently explore within a limited time. Since I could see from the second floor, I was able to get a good view of the overall atmosphere.

限られた時間の中で効率良く回れて良かったです。2階から見れるので全体の雰囲気も良く見えました。

The day before, I came to Osaka for a concert. Since I was staying for one night anyway, I decided to join this bus tour to Kyoto on the second day. There were only two Japanese people, including me, which was quite funny! On the bus, it felt like an overseas trip! The bus guide was very kind and during our free time, they shared wonderful spots with us. I enjoyed Kyoto more than enough!

前日に、コンサートの為大阪に来ました。どうせ一泊するのなら、2日目は、京都まで行こうと、こちらのバスツアーに参加日本人は、私含めて2人 笑笑笑 逆にバスの中では、海外旅行気分！バスガイドさん、とても親切で、フリータイムでは、素敵なスポットを教えて頂け、十分すぎるくらい、京都満喫しました！

I was expecting a sense of openness when I heard about the open deck, but unfortunately, the rain got in the way. Unlike regular buses, it has a cover to protect against the rain, but the air conditioning wasn't great, so it was a bit stuffy. However, I'm glad it didn't get canceled. I got off at Abeno Harukas and took the subway back to Osaka, but I was able to enjoy the view of Midosuji from the bus, which helped me get a sense of the area.

オープンデッキと聞いて開放感を期待していましたが、生憎の雨にやられました。通常のバスと違って幌をかぶせて雨は防げますが、空調が今イチなので少し蒸し暑かったですが、キャンセルにならなかったので良かったです。あべのハルカスで下車して、帰りは地下鉄で大阪まで戻りましたが、御堂筋をバスから眺めることが出来て、土地勘を得ることが出来ました。

Very professional. Had a great day. Guide was wonderful.

It was very cold on April 7th. However, it was good for my wife, who has difficulty walking, to be able to stay on the bus and see things briefly. The woman's narration was also very good.

4/7はとても寒かったです。
しかし、妻は脚が不自由なためバスに乗りっぱなしでざっと観られるのは良かったです。
また説明者の女性の名調子ぶりも良かったです。

The weather was nice, and the view of Osaka city from the open deck was amazing. The guide's explanations were very thorough, and I was able to learn about Osaka's landmarks, history, and culture in a short time. I want to visit Osaka again! ✨

天気が良く、オープンデッキから見る大阪市内の景色は最高でした
ガイドの方の説明が、とてもていねいで、短時間で大阪の名所、歴史、文化を知ることができました
また、大阪に行きたくなりました✨

The guide's instructions were enjoyable and thorough, which was great. There were only about three groups of customers that day, so it felt a bit subdued, but it actually made for a nice, intimate experience.

ガイドさんの案内が楽しく丁寧で良かったです。その日は確か3組ぐらいしかお客さんがいなかったから盛り上がりに、かける感じだったけどかえってこじんまりとしてよかったです。

I have visited the Osaka area before, but participating in the tour revealed many things I didn't know. I was happy to see retro buildings like the Bank of Japan.

今まで大阪の地域には、来てましたが、改めてツアーに参加すると知らないことがたくさん出てきました。日本銀行など、レトロな建物をみれてうれしかったです。

It was good, but the seat was in the very front, and the small black roof part slightly in front was a hindrance. It made it difficult to take photos and see the view, which was disappointing. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and I had a great time.

良かったです
が
席が一番前で
微妙に前にある黒い小さな屋根部分が邪魔で
写真も撮りにくくて
景色も見にくくて
そこが残念でした
時間はあっという間に過ぎて
楽しかったです

Even though I applied through Belldra, there was no indication of Belldra at the bus waiting area, so I was confused. I would like to see more signage indicating Belldra at the waiting area. The guide was very helpful, and there were no issues. It was a fun trip.

ベルドラで申し込んだのに バス待合所のところには、ベルドラと書いておらず わからなかった。もう少し待合所には ベルドラとの記載をしてほしい。
ガイドの方は、すごくよくしてくれて 問題なし。楽しく過ごせた旅でした。

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed early, and although I thought it was still too early at the time of my reservation, it seemed as if they bloomed just in time for my trip to Tokyo, allowing me to enjoy the cherry blossoms everywhere. I was lucky!

今年は、桜の開花が早くなり、予約の時点ではまだ早過ぎると思っていたのに、私の上京に合わせたかのように、いたる所で桜をめでることが出来ました。ラッキーでした！

A group of 4 people, we truly appreciate Veltra’s excellent services. The English-Speaking guides and the driver assigned on the full Day Kyoto Sightseeing Bus Tour from Osaka were knowledgeable, nice and caring. We shall recommend it to our friends.

The package full Day Kyoto Sightseeing Bus Tour from Osaka with English-Speaking Guide with Lunch package was most reasonable. Everything was perfectly arranged including a good and sumptuous lunch being provided. I will definitely want to do it again with Veltra!!

Since it's cherry blossom season, I was hoping to see the cherry blossoms at night, so I took the night bus, but I could only see a little. I think it's better to take the daytime bus if you want to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

I live in Kansai and took the bus to use my points, but it was nice to do some sightseeing from the bus as well.

桜のシーズンなので夜桜が見えたらなあ〜と思い、
よるびんにしましたが、少ししか見えませんでした。
桜を楽しむなら、昼便に乗った方がいいと思います。

関西在住で、ポイント消費の為に乗りましたが、
バスから観光するのも良かったです。

I boarded the Umeda route at 5 PM. The weather was great, and the guide's explanations were clear and very enjoyable. I appreciated the announcements that I could use any available seats and that it was fine to switch seats. There were also blankets, which made the ride comfortable. However, since I was coming from outside the prefecture, I found the boarding area a bit confusing. It would have been clearer if the voucher had mentioned something like "departing from platform number ⭕ at the highway bus terminal." Next time, I would like to try the Namba route as well. I also recommended it to a friend who is planning to visit Osaka next month.

17時発梅田ルート乗車。お天気にもめぐまれ、ガイドさんのお話しもわかりやすくとても楽しく乗車させていただきました。空席は自由に使ってよいですよ、とか席を移っても大丈夫ですよなどと声がけいただいたり毛布もあり快適でした。ただ県外からの予約乗車だったのですが乗り場がわかりにくくて。バウチャーに「高速バス乗場⭕番乗場口から発車」などとあればもう少しわかりやすかったかと思います。次回はなんばルートにも乗ってみたいです。来月大阪にいく予定の友人にもお薦めしました。

Our family really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide gave us clear instructions and explained every location we went. After the tour the tour guide even asked every single one of us if we got any questions. Its worth every yen. We will definitely recommend this tour to anyone planning to go to Kyoto who doesn’t have to worry about which train/bus to take. The bus was really comfortable that you can sleep or rest when you are going to the next attraction.

I enjoyed the northern route on a double-decker bus from Osaka Station with my granddaughter. I don't know if I should call it lucky, but there were only the two of us as passengers. Even with just two guests, the guide provided a thorough explanation. The view of Osaka Castle at night and the cherry blossoms were quite impressive, and my granddaughter was delighted. Thank you to the driver and the guide.

孫娘と一緒に大阪駅発2階建てバスで北回りコースを楽しみました。ラッキーと言っていいのかお客は私ども二人だけでした。たった二人の客なのにガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくれました。夜見る大阪城と夜桜は中々のもので孫娘も喜んでいました。運転手さん、ガイドさんありがとうございました。

We were all looking forward to this first experience as a family. The ride on the North Route took about an hour, which seemed like just the right amount of sightseeing time for the kids and grandkids. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I enjoyed looking out the window as my face turned right and left. Although it was just before the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the cherry trees were still very beautiful. The sightseeing cost was also reasonable at 1,500 yen, which felt like a good deal. Unfortunately, there were a few downsides: the number of passengers was low, there were many traffic signal waits, there were no stops (even a short stop at one location would have made for better memories), and it seemed that the recognition from the outside was lower than expected.

初めての体験で家族共々楽しみにしていました。北ル－トで乗車時間は約１時間。子供や孫にはちょうどいい観光時間と思われました。バスガイドの観光説明も聞き取りやすくわかりやすい説明で自分の顔が右を向いたり左を向いたりと、楽しく窓見学できました。今回は桜満開前の時期でしたがとても桜がきれいでした。観光費用も１５００円と安価で回れるので割安感がありました。残念な事は、・乗車人数が少なかった事・信号待ちが多い事・停車する事が無かった事（短時間で１か所でも有ればより思い出として残ると思う）・外部からの目が思ったより認知度が低いと思われた事等でした。
