All Reviews for Tokyo Bus Tours

I learned quite a bit about many of the destinations in Tokyo. I felt like this was a good taste of the city. The stops were very short but adequate. The guide did a great job of describing history and ritual. I did the half day tour. I didn’t know I would have to transfer buses after I was picked up but they guides were helpful.

The tour was very interesting. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English

Perfect way to see the best of TOKYO in one day. The Odaiba cruise and inclusive lunch was a plus.

The tour itinerary was very good and gave a nice overview of Tokyo. The guide we had in the morning was good and knowledgeable, but at times was very difficult to understand. The guide in the afternoon was excellent. Lunch was very good, but we felt too rushed and the restaurant staff was somewhat rude
Overall the tour was.money well spent.

Fantastic tour, well organitzed, complete information, wonderful guide Keyko, one day in Tokyo really very well used, impossible to do the same without such a wonderful guide and experience!!!!

A very well organised trip. The guide was outstanding. The barbecue lunch was superb. Very friendly and patient. Would defiantly recommend this tour to My friends. Thank you for a great informative day.

After finishing the morning Hato Bus Tour, I joined the second bus tour in the afternoon. The building where the reception was held was a bit hard to find, but I noticed that there were many foreign participants, which made it feel international. The bus was spacious and comfortable. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and although the first Hato Bus Tour overlapped with the Imperial Palace visit, it was a blessing. It was great to see various attractions compactly, including Odaiba, Fuji Television, the National Diet Building, Kasumigaseki, Ginza, and Marunouchi. On the way back, we passed by La Maison du Chocolat, and after finishing lunch in the basement of the reception building, I expressed my gratitude to those who helped us explore. I was able to stop by without any issues. The iced chocolate drink and the limited-time chocolate were delicious, creating wonderful memories. (^ - ^)/

朝のはとバスツアーを終えてお昼より二回目のバスツアーでした。受付があるビルが少し分かりにくかったですが外国人の方々も参加していらしてインターナショナルだな、と思いました。バスはゆったりしていて居心地が良かったです。ガイドさんのお話も楽しくて一回目のはとバスツアーと皇居見学が被ってしまいましたがありがたいことですね。お台場、フジテレビ、国会議事堂、霞ヶ関、銀座、丸の内などコンパクトにいろいろ見て回れるのが良かったです、帰り道にラ・メゾン・デュ・ショコラの前を通ったので終わってお昼を受付のあるビルの地下でいただいたあといろいろ探してくださった方々に感謝しまして、無事に寄れました。アイスチョコレートドリンクと期間限定のチョコが美味しくて素敵な思い出が出来ました。(^-^)/

We thoroughly enjoyed the all day tour. What attracted us in the beginning, was that it would be in English. Both the morning tour guide, and the afternoon tour guide, were very good, professional, and shared lots of information about the various areas the bus drove, as well as information on Japanese culture and customs. We saw such a wide variety of sights. Some were just driving by, and quite a few places you stopped for 45 minutes or so. It even included a river cruise. . I recommend paying to have your lunch included. It was ready for us when we got there, and was delicious. By doing that, we didnt have to rush around to figure out where we were going to eat. I highly recommend the All Day Grand Tokyo Tour

It was a great overall tour of Tokyo BUT too many customers on the tour were VERY late arriving back at the tour bus again and again. This totally inconvenienced all the other people on the tour, cut into the time spent at tour sites including lunch and made the itinerary more rushed then should have been necessary. Customers waiting on the bus wanted the tour guide to leave these people behind so we could have the designated time at tour sites but instead, we waited an average of 15-30 minutes on the bus waiting for people who could care less about keeping us all waiting. The tour guide was great but went out looking for these late people, then jammed us through the rest of the program. Customers who were either slow, older or physically challenged such as using a cane for walking couldn’t keep up.
Grey Line needs to adhere to the rule of “make it back to the bus on time or we leave you behind” instead of making others angry at the tour guide, Greyline and the late customers. NOT what I paid for.

Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

You can get a fun duck whistle, but it was quite difficult to blow. However, it was enjoyable. There was also a detailed explanation about the townscape along the way, which was informative.

楽しいダック笛がもらえますがなかなか吹きにくかった。けど、楽しかったです。途中の街並みについても詳しく説明がありためになります。
ただ日本語のみ。

We had a great day on this sightseeing tour. Both our guides were knowledgeable about Tokyo and gave good extra information about daily life etc. Good choiches of landmarks, well organized lunch with fine presentation of Japanese food. Bus was very clean and comfortable.
We can highly recommend this full day sightseeing in Tokyo.

This half day tour included a number of key sights in Tokyo. We were fortunate to have booked (purely by chance) on the first day of the new Era following the inauguration of the new Emperor. The guide was clear and helpful and we gained much from this tour.

It was cold on the day of the tour, and there was a bit of wind, but the content of the tour was outstanding! Of course, I got to see the places I wanted, but the guide's explanations were surprisingly interesting and well done, which made the atmosphere on the bus lively. There were also useful trivia points throughout, making the bus drive feel like it went by in no time.

当日は寒くて少し風もありましたが、ツアーの内容は満点以上でした(^^)
見たかった場所は勿論ですが、ガイドのお姉さんの説明も想像以上に面白く上手でバス内も盛り上がりました。為になる雑学も要所要所にあり、あっという間のバスドライブでした。

We had a free day in Tokyo so decided to book this tour on line before we arrived as was highly recommended by a friend! We weren’t disappointed! Didn’t do a pickup from the hotel we were staying at so we had to jump on the subway to get to the pickup, was easy! Then we were transported to yet another hotel by taxi! Our tour guide Yoshi was brilliant! He covered so much in the full day tour, loved every minute of it! We booked the tour which included the Japanese lunch which was a delicious! Saw all the highlights of Tokyo, even included a boat ride down the river! At the end of the tour the bus dropped us off at the subway as we decided to go to Shibuya before returning to our hotel! Don’t miss this tour!

Enjoyed the morning tour better than the afternoon tour. Lunch should include alternatives for Western tastes.

The tour was nice and so was Mina, our guide. She was very knowledgeable and funny.

The only confusing thing was finding the Hamamatsucho Bus Terminal if you are not familiar. The check-in counter was a little unorganized at first, but it got straightened out.

So much t o see with little time - do this tour!

Difficult to hear what the guides were saying.
Very busy between the different sights. When we finally found cherry blossoms there was no time to take photos.
Not too interesting to see the gardens and the shrine that was under reconstruction.

I had a great experience before, so I participated with my brother's family as well. The freshness of being able to view various buildings and landscapes from the high position of the bus is truly wonderful. Since it was a nice spring season, we were able to see the cherry blossoms, which made it even more enjoyable. The guide's performance really enhances the tour. Everyone, both children and adults, gets very excited when passing under the bridge. I think it would be great if there were a tour that also includes Tokyo Tower and other places for about an additional 30 minutes.

前に利用して良かったので兄弟の家族も一緒に参加しました。
色んな建物や景色がバスの高い位置から眺められるという新鮮さは本当に良いです。
春の良い季節だったので桜も見れてより楽しめました。
ガイドさんの演出がよりツアーを盛り上げてくれます。橋の下をくぐる時は子供も大人も大興奮です。
プラス30分くらいで東京タワーや他の場所も一緒にまわれるツアーもあったらいいなと思います。

Very encompassing tour of Tokyo. You see a both a Buddhist Temple and Shinto Shrine, visit several gardens, shop, take a boat ride on a scenic part of the river and have a great Japanese lunch. Of course the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom which made it extra special. Great guide!

Guade was very nice experienced person very good nature very help very friendly I enjoyed my trip

Your company y Thanks
Vinod aia

We have enjoyed the tour very much. It was informative and fun. I would recommend it.

Very good service from Japan Gray Line; a customer service representative was at the meeting point (hotel) to welcome and to get us on the bus.
The tour is very good and really highlights what to see and to do in Tokyo, leading to exploring on own more areas in the following days, should time allows. The guides provide good explanation of the areas toured, and would go the extra mile to satisfy the customer beyond the basic service of the tour, to include attending to personal requests from the customer.
Overall good job, making a day we very much enjoyed.

I found the tour to be too cumbersome. We visited few places, but the guide didn’t give us overall city perspective.

Makoto is an excellent tour guide. He is friendly, funny and personable. I thoroughly enjoyed going on the tour with him as my guide.
It's hard to squeeze everything in that you want to do so i understand the short time allotted for each location. It was a good mixture of sights and history. Japan is just full of beautiful places! Thank you helping us get to see more of it then we could on our own.
The price for the tour is beyond reasonable. It is worth so much more. I highly recommend taking a tour with this company.

We enjoyed our full day tour. It gave us a feel for the city and met our expectations for a reasonably priced tour experience.

Lunch was quite good and there was plenty to eat. We got on the bus at 8am and the lunch stop was after 1pm, so I’d recommend taking snacks to keep you going.

The bus pulled-up in a couple of awkward places, making it difficult for some of passengers to get on and off at destinations.

Overall though, I’d recommend it.

We did the all day tour. Our guide in the morning was wonderful great English and did a good job of keeping group together and on time. The afternoon tour was very unorganized and rushed. Tour guide English was average talked muffled into microphone and did not keep the group together would walk a few steps stop and wait for everyone very disappointing! Also return service to hotel is long and exhausting!

I joint this tour with my parents, who tey are senior citizen
The guide very friendly and helpful to all the members or this tour especially for my parents
Time schedul very tight but arrange very well, so we can enjoy and follow all the tours even rainy in Nara

Buffet lunch very delicious

Everything are well

I felt a bit cheesy having to book a tour to see places on Tokyo that you could just take the train to go see, but it was worth it. Our tour guide was down to earth and knowledable. Learned a lot about Japan while on the tour, as well as enjoyed being stress free with being on a bus rather than navigate the city myself. No one batted an eye when I ordered wine with my lunch, and others even joined. Would recommend. Get the skytree tower included, as it was amazing to see once up there.

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