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!

We had a fabulous tour of Tokyo with Tom as our guide! He was so kind, informative, and interesting. He picked us up at the cruise port right on time and showed us as many highlights of Tokyo as we had time for, and we loved them all. We saw a really nice variety of Buddhist temple, Shinto shrine, Imperial palace as well as more modern shopping and government districts. We had a great driver too who dropped us off close to whereever we were going. Tom was flexible about our needs. We requested one of the department store food halls for lunch, and he took us to a great one and found a nice rooftop area for us to eat at. It was so fun to have Tom guide us through the hall and explain the food to us. After the trip, Tom sent us all pictures and a journal of the day—so thoughtful! We loved Tokyo and Tom and can’t wait to return and schedule more tours with him!

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.

they would not allow you to sit on the bottom level although it was extremely hot and started to sprinkle. Bring an umbrella for shade and rain.
The bus never came during the allotted time.
The bus did not make a stop like it was supposed to. The lady would not allow us to get off when there is clearly a stop on the map they give.
I spent a lot of $ on cab rides because they never came by the stop. We were 20+ minutes early.

The day was hot as hades. There is no cover, we were told not to go downstairs and we were also told not to use umbrellas to help with the sun. It would be nice to add 2 more busses on the Roppongi loop, there is way too much time between busses.

Decided last minute to take a bus tour as in it was 10:00 AM and we bought the tickets online and got on the tour bus at 1:00 PM! (There are times running throughout the day). No issue getting our information and the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. They even helped us find out information regarding other landmarks in the city and typical tourist questions like where to eat, shop, and metro stations near landmarks. Highly recommend it and would do it again!

My mom and I were at the meeting location 10 min before check in time (as stated to do so on the itinerary) and the bus/your guide didn’t arrive until about 15min past our check in time which caused us to stress thinking we were in the wrong spot and potentially missed the tour. When the tour guide did show up she didn’t really say anything just promptly motioned for us to follow her to the bus. Our tour guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. She was very clear with directions and meet up times. Some things I found misleading (besides the pick up time) were regarding the Imperial Palace and the “lunch buffet”. When we visited the Imperial Grounds, we didn’t get to see anything other than a very small garden a few steps into the grounds. I know not all areas are accessible to the public or all year round but we saw more of the Palace by briefly driving by in the bus which was unfortunate. Secondly, the lunch we were provided was not a buffet. We all chose between grilled salmon, grilled chicken or a vegetarian dish with two pieces of steamed carrot/broccoli/potato a small cup of vegetable soup and two small (dry/hard) buns :( when I asked the guide if we were able to get the buffet lunch as I referred her to the online day plan she said, “oh that information is very old”. The view from the restaurant was amazing and enough to make up for it but it was a little disappointing when I was expecting to have access to more of a variety. Overall, it was a good way to see some amazing/beautiful parts of Tokyo with added guidance and transportation but I suggest the website be updated to avoid further frustration from customers expecting what they signed up for.

This service worked out wonderfully! My wife and I decided last minute to do a tour bus ride to visit spots around Tokyo. When I say "last minute" I mean at breakfast around 0800 we decided to do the hop on hop off bus tour at 1030. From the time I booked it on my phone and when we checked in, the Representative already had our information printed out and confirmed our activity. Check in was smooth. The bus ride tour was perfect for us. We were able to hop off and visit a few popular locations. All in all, it was a great experience. I will use Veltra, again. Thank you.

I had a great time on this tour. I saw many attractions as well as learned the history (how, where, why's) to the culture or architecture that we saw on our walk. Our guide even was very agreeable to help us purchase products during our stops into shops/bakeries/boutiques along the way. The time went by so quickly I was sad that it was over. Her knowledge of English was superb!

Though it was traditional but it was yukk.
We got some pastry n coffee to fill our tummy afterwards as we were hungry since morning and got to have this lunch which we couldn’t eat.
Hope to have some room of improvement for food in coming trips.

As mentioned, this was an interesting tour round the centre of Tokyo, with the ability to get on and off the open-topped bus at points of interest.
On the Roppongi/Odaiba route, before Tokyo Teleport, however, there are only three buses per day, meaning you'd need to spend quite a long time at e.g. Roppongi Hills. At or after Tokyo Teleport, the route coincides with the Odaiba-only route, so you can change between buses, meaning the gap between buses is only an hour and a half or so.
It was a strong sunshine/30C day this week, so future travellers are strongly advised to check the weather, and to take hats and sunscreen.
