Must Do!
Reviewed by: Hoai My Winder, 2016/04/30When coming in to any new place to visit, we look for bus tours such as this. The tour was informative and gave us an idea of places we would want to return to and explore fully. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried about using a service such as Veltra but I had no problems whatsoever. We plan on doing the bus tour again when friends visit and using Veltra. Highly recommend!

The time between the buses
Reviewed by: Tatiana , 2016/03/31The time between the buses is too long, 70 min. You can't make even two full routes in one day. If the time was 30 min, then it'll be possible.

So worth it for the price!
Reviewed by: Carla, 2016/03/31I took the Tokyo Sky Bus during my first day in Tokyo and it was worth it! It gave me an overview of Tokyo and that's when I decided where I wanted to go for the rest of my stay.

Hop on and Off in Tokyo
Reviewed by: MN&LG, 2016/03/21What a great way to tour and navigate around the tourist spots of Tokyo. The open top makes for good views of the city and landscape. We took full advantage of the 1 day pass, hopping off at different points in the city. We started Friday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. Our favorite stop was Asakusa Kanakawado the closest stop to the Senso-ji Temple. We ended up there both days to see even more sites. The wait time between buses was enough to explore and hop back on. Three routes cover a vast area and you probably need more than a day pass. This is a great way to maximize your time in Toyko, you don’t have to figure out a complicated metro map or wonder when you get out of the metro station which direction your destination is in. The audio guide was informative and staff member was available to answer your questions. For those who like the double-decker bus experience, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome way to see Tokyo in a short space of time.
Reviewed by: Ismail, 2016/03/18The ticket we bought was valid for 24 hours so we used it for 2 days. We started at 4 in the afternoon and continued on until the next day. The service was very efficient. I missed the bus in just a matter of 30 seconds as it drove right past me. I was not prepared to run after it. It was no big deal as I caught the next one since I was in no rush. I had a schedule with me so I was able to get a nice cup of coffee and shopped for a bit and made sure I was there at least 10 minutes before schedule! You need to plan your route and sight seeing carefully.
I went on 2 routes. The Tokyo Sky Tree and the Odaiba route. Both had their own charms. Would recommend the Odaiba route after sunset and the Sky tree route during the day. The Odaiba route was very scenic at night because of the rainbow bridge , Tokyo Tower and the skyline was just breath taking. Hopped off at the Tokyo Sky Tree the next day. Went up the tower for the amazing view. I was there pretty early I suppose hence the queue was not bad at all. The stop was pretty close by and if you could not find your way back to the bus stop, just ask people around you. Everyone was extremely helpful. Japanese would go out of their way to show you where the bus stop is. They would physically bring you there. You just tell them it’s the sky hop on hop off bus and they will bring you there.
If you are tight for time, and want to see as much of Tokyo as you can in that short period of time, this would be your best shot. I had a great time. My time in Tokyo was limited so I was glad I got on this tour bus.

A convenient way to see Tokyo in 24 hours with kids in tow.
Reviewed by: Anita, 2016/03/18The one we got on was an open top. Super punctual. The bus would be comfortable on a good day since there are no seats available downstairs. Therefore there’s limited space when it rains. Only 4 seats in the front row is covered while the rest is open hence the chances of getting those 4 seats? Very very very slim. And those who gets the seats in front would not hop off the bus. Our experience was 2 teenagers hogged all 4 front row seats to themselves.
Apart from the rain, it would have been a wonderful experience. You get to see so many interesting sites which we would not have seen by metro underground such as the Tokyo tower, the rainbow bridge, and the sky tree. This would have been the perfect tour on a lovely sunny weather. We sat towards the front of the bus… so we were sheltered from the strong winds, not the rain. I could not imagine sitting in the back in the wet, cold and with the freezing wind blowing. I glad we got shielded from the wind at least. However we saw some Japanese school kids at the back having an awesome time with the strong wind blowing in their faces, taking selfies, laughing and having so much fun.
The bus was not full perhaps because of the weather. We had 3 children under 5 in which we bought tickets for them too because if you do not, they would have to be seated on your lap. However if you have hyper active children… perhaps being on your lap could be a safer choice. Our kids enjoyed the ride and the view. When they are tired, they could just sleep comfortably leaning on you without falling over as the bus ride was very smooth! The driver was excellent. Even my daughter who is prone to motion sickness felt super.
Overall, it was a good experience. The commentary played correctly, at the correct venue and it was pretty informative. The adults appreciated the commentary while the kids enjoyed the view.

Great Tour....
Reviewed by: Wilton, 2016/03/04We had a great experience with Veltra... we bought the ticket and was very easy to find the location to exchange the tickets. The tour was awesome, always on time, clean bus with pleasant people and good information about the city. We had a great time in Tokyo and we discovered many places in Tokyo that probably we wouldn't find without this tour. Our main highlight was the Skytree tower (the tower has 2 levels, we went to both, they charge each level separated, but was worth to visit both), Asakusa temple (we spent a lot of time there, beautiful location and lots of shopping), Tokyo Tower (also has 2 levels, we just visited one as the second level was closed due the winds), and many more. Highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it.

Tokyo Open Top Bus Tour
Reviewed by: Mark Flamsteed, 2016/02/29Difficult to purchase correct ticket on internet. Ticket clerk totally inflexible when we requested travel on the non stop bus in stead of the hop on hop off. Same company, same busses, plenty of free seats on both busses but it was IMPOSSIBLE to change ticket. I think you need to be a bit flexible. Not sure I would recommend to a friend. I have used open top bus in London & New York. A lot more user friendly.

Amazing Tokyo
Reviewed by: Lais, 2016/02/23Me and my husband purchased the Tokyo Sky Bus Tickets through Veltra's website and scheduled the tour for the next day. We received the voucher through e-mail and it was really easy to get our tickets the next day! Their office is really close to the Tokyo Station and the bus take off from there. We did the 3 routes on the same day and they were all really nice. On the blue route, we stopped at Asakusa temple ! They have a lot of little shops and food tends there... all of the typical things! On green route, we headed to the fish market, we had incredible sushi there and the quality of the food was great and of course really fresh! For our last route, (the purple one) we stopped on Roppongi hills and it was really pleasant to finish our day there and have some dinner. They have really nice stores and all kind of restaurants, cafes, etc. We had dinner at this Italian place called Il Ritrovo and the pizza, pasta and price there were great! You can get the Restaurants map at the entrance of the mall and there you can check all the options and price rates, it was great!
Our only complain it was the audio on the green bus that was not working and we couldn't hear the route.
Overall we had a really nice day!

Good tour over all
Reviewed by: Pat, 2016/02/22Coming all the way from Australia, and being our first time in Tokyo. My friend and I thought the hop on hop off bus tour was a great way to see the whole of Tokyo in one day.
We came out under the Skytree tower was a great start to our tour of Tokyo, the staff were very helpful in showing where the Hop on Hop off bus office was. It was very easy to find and we got some great snaps of the Skytree tower as we walked to the office. We were pleased that the buses were frequent so we only waited a few minutes until the next bus arrived.
The English audio was fantastic and helped us learn alot about Tokyo and its history. What I liked most about this tour was that all three routes linked up at one stop and at the stop was a Starbucks which we purchased a coffee while we waited for the next bus route. Longest we waited was 20 minutes but was a good break from sight seeing.
Over all I thought this was a great way to see Tokyo in one day, the staff were friendly, a lot to see, the English audio was knowledgable and my friend and I had a great time seeing Tokyo this way. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks :)

Tokyo Bus Review
Reviewed by: Kat, 2016/02/21The bus was centrally located but not easy to find once you come out of Tokyo Station and if you speak no Japanese. The stuff onboard speaks very little to no English, so it is hard to communicate with them. The guide stuff is not very professional and even rude sometimes. There are no trash cans anywhere on the bus and the guide named Ms.Itsukoshi was laughing at us for bringing an empty coffee cup onboard, rather than find a way to dispose of it... There is absolutely no eating on the bus! Ms.Itsukoshi threw a big scene when my mother who is an elderly person ate a banana onboard simply because we were touring non-stop and there was not enough time between the routes to get food. It was raining cats and dogs that day. The stuff demanded a ticket outside before you get onboard rather than allowing you to come inside out of the rain's way and look for it in the dry. They also have known us. It was the same guides over and over. The stuff refused to give us a raincoat (we asked 2 people!) for walking around, because they covered up the bus. But they did give them to other people before when it just started to rain. The commentary never coincided with the location of the bus. You never knew which" red or white" building it was. The bus was always ontime, which was positive and was not even thrown off balance by bad weather. The stuff closed the roof when it started to rain, which is positive. I have been on many hop on, hop off tours before, this was probably the worst one. I have not seen the stuff so unresponsive and unhelpful to the tourists' needs like I have seen in Tokyo.

Great deal and good way to see Tokyo in a day
Reviewed by: Nina, 2016/01/18Enjoyed our trip but I would recommend a two day to really see the sights. We did all three routes in one day, but only stopped at two places in order to complete all three routes. The downside is if you get off the bus, you have to wait for the next bus which maybe an 1 1/2 to 2 hours. They are very punctual in accordance with their schedule. Dress appropriate for the weather as it got really cold in the evening. I'm not sure if they have other closed busses, but ours only had a top deck and considering it was January it was very cold. Also, you can only pickup the tickets at two locations, The company may want to consider having people conductors redeem tickets at all stops for the convenience of the customer. The headsets were usually in line with the sights but sometimes would seem off for the things you were viewing. We have taken various hop on hop off bus tours in cities around the world, generally we find it a great way to get and overview of the city and we generally go back to our favorite spots, time permitting. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it if you are short on time in the city.

Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus
Reviewed by: KiwiJim, 2016/01/17This is a great way to see Tokyo, the open top makes it better than a traditional bus, we had great fun riding around the whole route, picking where we would get off next time around. The girls on the bus were very helpful and the commentary interesting. Highly recommend this.

A Truly Wonderful and Exciting Tokyo Experience!
Reviewed by: Sandra Bucao, 2016/01/06It's the first time we did the hop on- hop off bus tour itinerary in Japan and it was truly a wonderful experience. All members of the family got so excited. The bus was on time in each pick-up station and the bus assistant/receptionist was very friendly and courteous. Though it was freezing cold to stay up the deck, we enjoyed the picture-perfect sight seeing in major tourist destinations in Tokyo. The visit to the shrine in Asakusa was enriching. The sight of the beautiful Tokyo Tower was Lovely and magical. Passing through the colorful Rainbow Bridge on a very cold winter breeze at night time was awesome as we trudged our way to Aqua City at Odaiba on time for the fireworks show across the horizon. What a truly wonderful, exciting and unforgettable experience we had!

Great way to tour the city!
Reviewed by: Emil, 2016/01/04I highly recommend this Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Package. The three route it offers provided most of the scenic attractions such as the Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, Tokyo Tower, Odaiba, Akihabara, Roppongi, Ginza, Ueno Zoo and many more. The staff are very friendly and the buses almost always arrive in time. You need to plan your drop off point to maximize the tour. They have audio in English which helps to describe important landmark. What is nice about the package is they provide 24 hours window to use your voucher. This means that if you started 12:00 pm your voucher is good until 12:00 pm the next day. The scenery provided by this package cannot be seen on ordinary buses or trains. The highlight is when we were traversing the rainbow bridge on the open top during the night on the way to Odaiba while we were shivering but the view was amazing.

Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus
Reviewed by: Kim, 2016/01/03We were being told it is a must ride when we visited Tokyo. I could not agree more. For as little as 20+ dollars, we were able to take the bus to tour around the major tourist spots in Tokyo. That amount is relatively cheap when compared to the high transportation cost in the city. Before the tour, we were being told it is impossible to sit through all 3 routes unless we do not hop off the bus throughout the whole journey. Hence, we made some careful planning and took the Odaiba and Tokyo town routes. We did not go to Asakusa because we already went there the day before. The Odaiba route is particularly enjoyable because we were able to tour around the rainbow bridge and look at the beautiful skyline and the magnificient sea view.

Fun, convenient and enjoyable!
Reviewed by: Lee, 2016/01/03Tokyo hop-on hop-off bus is essential to explore the metropolitan city. You can hop on and hop off the bus from various spots and routes. During the tour, you will be given an earphone and you can listen to a guided tour translated in different languages, such as chinese, english, korean and japanese. We were not supposed to stand up and move around during the tour though. The staff somewhat appeared to be a little angry when we did. We thought it is a little bit stringent on the rules but on a hindsight they were peculiarly serious about the safety and well being of the foreign tourists. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves very much during the tour. It was a little too sunny for our liking on that day. But, it is bearable with the cool breeze blowing during the winter time.

Tokyo full-day tour
Reviewed by: Gloribel, 2016/01/01The service of the staff in Tokyo were very helpful. We used the Bus-On_Hop-Off the day 25th of December, 2015. We also used 2 of the 3 routes available. We rode through the places like Akihabara, Ropongi Hills, Ueno, Tokyo Tower, and the Skytree, among others.
We were very forutnately to have one of the stop of the bus in the hotel we stayed (the New Otani Garden Tower Hotel). For that matter it was also vey convenious.
It was great experience we will do it again.
The time was a little chilly for that time of the year, but is was worthwhile the experience of using this service.
In general we were glad we used the bus tour.

Great way to explore the city!
Reviewed by: Chew, 2015/12/27The Hop-on Hop-off bus tickets would bring you to many of the prominent tourist places. It is a great way to explore the city and very convenient for you to drop off at your desired spots for touring. With 1-day pass, it is quite impossible to take all 3 routes unless you intend to just sit on the bus without dropping off at the numerous tourist spots. Hence, you would need careful planning of the route. I first took the bus at Tokyo Station for the Odaiba course, dropping off at Venus Port (since I did not manage to go there when I went to Aqua City and Diver City the previous day) before taking the bus again one hour later back to Tokyo Station. After that, I took the bus again to go to Roppongi Hills. It depends on which place you want to go and with careful planning you will be enjoying the bus tour very much.

Great experience on viewing tokyo
Reviewed by: Marshall, 2015/12/21The buses condition is great and clean. The tour is precise in timing however the schedule is not that frequent (one hour plus). This is open top seating bus only and it gets pretty cold during the winter when the bus moves quickly. The coverage of the tour is great however the initial boarding/getting the pass is only in couple places, cant be done on every stop. The tour guides are nice and helpful, it is no hassle on bringing infant and stroller. The pass is Valid for 24 hours from the initial pass exchange, So you can continue using it the next day when you start late on the day. The tour is running until pretty late too. Good price for money. Recommended.

Best Tour of Tokyo!
Reviewed by: Linh Nguyen, 2015/12/14We really enjoy the Hop On Hop Off bus tour of Toyko. The best part was the checkin. It was easy and the attendant gave us the tickets within 2 minutes. While on the bus, the best part is the top deck. We had great weather 2 weeks ago so this was an extra plus. The top deck also lets you take great pictures so we were excited being on top. We were given earphones which we had forgotten so this was just incredible service. The stops are great. They were easy to find and maps were easy to read. The schedules were also easy to read and we were able to plan accordingly. All in all, we had a great time, used the bus to see everything, and also get around town conveniently.

English language recording broke after the first stop.
Reviewed by: Meh, 2015/12/09I am very experienced with hop-on, hop-off tours, having taken them in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The English language recording broke after the first stop. I don't think we missed much, as the recording mostly just explained some facts about the highway when it was working.
The Ueno and Akihabara stops are inconveniently located as they drop you several blocks from the main attractions (this might be true for all tour buses stopping at these locations).
There are three separate bus tour routes and they really should be combined into 1-2 routes. The buses go four to five stops on a given line, then the bus doubles back.

Best Tour around Tokyo - Incredible Value
Reviewed by: M Shoaib Sheikh, 2015/12/03We recently had the chance to stop by in Tokyo on our recent trip to Asia.We were really tight on schedule provided we had 21 hours layover.But then we were suggested by our Hilton Tokyo concierge to take advantage of this fantastic skybus hop on and hop off service.
There are 3 courses you can opt for all in one ticket for nearly 22 USD/person which gives you excellent value for money as taxi travel in Tokyo is VERY expensive and it is very very organised and operates in very timely fashion along with very detailed history of all the important buildings and monuments we passed by.
We took all three courses starting with Odaiba course and followed by Roppongi-Tokyo course.You can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.One of the best thing is you can hop on to next course bus at same Marunouchi Mitsubishi building so as soon as you end up with one course, you can hop on to next course bus within 10~15 mins and it gives you just enough time to use restrooms and buy something from the shops close by.The buses were WIFI equipped, neat and clean with comfortable seating.We travelled with a toddler and we had enough legroom to give him some space to flex his muscles :).Most importantly, the buses have glass roof so if you can look through them or take pictures if you aren't able to see through windows.
If you are taking train to reach Mitsubishi building, drop off at Tokyo station and you are just 2~3 minutes walk away.You can also grab a bite from Manhattan grill which is pretty close to Mitsubishi building.Without skybus tours we would not have been able to see so much of Tokyo in short span of time.

Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Bus
Reviewed by: Nanik Lakhani, 2015/11/28We are Canadians from Toronto and first time visitors to Japan. We had a total 1 week's time to visit 3 cities - Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. We had planned to spend 3 days in Tokyo and wanted to cover the most tourist places. Japan has a very advanced and amazing railway system, especially in Tokyo with multiple local train lines meshing the city providing excellent connectivity. We decided to take a day pass on JR Rail and see the important places ourselves. We took 1-day pass and could see only 2-3 places and were tired by end of the day due to long walks. Then we found out on the net about Tokyo Hop-On Hop-off bus for 1 or 2 days. We took 1 day pass on the Hop-On Hop-off bus and were pleasantly surprised that we could cover most major visiting spots within a day. With guided tour and convenience of hop-on hop-off it was a lot more relaxing as there was minimum walking. There was flexibility to get on to the next bus at scheduled time plus we were able to see most of Tokyo by taking all 3 Hop-On Hop-off bus lines. Staff was very courteous and helpful. It was raining for some part of the day and we were provided raincoats. We enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-off bus and we will recommend other friends to take this tour for quick tour of Tokyo.

Great deal
Reviewed by: Reza, 2015/11/28I strongly recommend using Hop-On Hop-Off buses as it is really a great deal. We have seen several places in Tokyo beforehand. However, by using these special buses we have a general sense of view of the Tokyo. My suggestion to the tourists is to have a plan to use the 2 days trip. By paying a quite reasonable price than 1 day you are able to have a trip over the whole thee lines including Green, Purple and also Blue. Be aware the buses for all three routes are red and you should ask the staff which one is which otherwise you need to wait for at least 1 hour for the next bus. you should take the time table and try to choose the lines in a way that you are able to minimum the waiting time in between. On the first day you can sit on the bust and having a look around if there is any places you would like to stop by you should make a note for yourself including which line it is and what station it is then on the next day you can just stop on the favorite places you have chosen. As a last point you are better off getting off the Tokyo station as it is pretty close to the Mitsubishi station compare to the other stations. Hope you all enjoy the trip!

Fun but mixed
Reviewed by: Sarah Perl, 2015/11/10This was mostly a good experience. But there were some areas that needed improvement.
The audio was always "off." The announcements of the audio typically came after we had passed a location -- the audio was late or the driver was fast. In the beginning there was no info on the first 10 minutes of the trip at all. The ear plugs need to be up-graded. The style you have is very uncomfortable for some people, including me. Finally, the audio box for one of us (we were two travelers) was not working -- the volume could not go sufficiently high to hear.
There was an issue with whether the bus was stopping or not at the marked locations. For example, we would have wanted to get off at Asakusa to visit the market and the temple, but the bus did not stop there at all. The brochure indicated that the bus should have stopped there. But there was no announcement or offer to stop, and the bus did not stop. That was very disappointing to us.
We hope this info is useful and we appreciate the two-for-one offer in exchange for us providing this review. Please process the credit at your earliest convenience. Also, the ponchos were great and the woman at the Mitsubishi box office was super helpful.
Best
