  Not too bad however the commentary is recorded and cuts out as soon as the bus moves on. If you want to learn about the places you pass better off getting a ¥600 24hour metro pass and a guide book. I've attached a photo of the route map.

  Very bad experience!! Wish we could have gotten off. The tour guide spoke very loud in Japanese so you couldnt hear any other language through headphones. Unless you speak Japanese all you end up doing is trying to cope with the ear piercing voice that came through the bus speakers. We ended up with splitting migraines at the end of the 50mins tour. The saddest part was we appreciated Japanese cultureso much and love the country, we though we could see the beautiful tokyo through the tour but all we got was total disappointment accompanied by migraines.

  Just not frequent enough to be convenient (one bus every few hours, vs minutes in London, Rome etc). Usually Japan is pretty reliable to make sightseeing a smooth, well-thought out experience, but this tour bus service is very basic and only recommended if you can't easily walk or use public transport around the city. It does have multi-lingual commentary, but also has the quirk that the bus often goes so fast that the commentary for the next stop cuts in before the current one is finished! Some buses are open-top double deckers, others single level with a glass roof. There are three routes, but with one a reduced version of another, there are two routes in reality, one via Roppongi, one via the Sky Tree. Due to the lack of buses, if you are not early for each departure from the Mitsubishi Building, you are likely not to get a window seat or be able to sit with your friends/family! This especially applies at other stops, as due to the infrequency, people rarely get off the bus to actually free up seats (myself included!). Once they have a service every 30 minutes this will be a great service, until then I would not recommend it at Y3500 for a 24 hour pass. If my review and photo was helpful for you, please give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 Thanks!

  If you don't like noise, you should not get on. Because people may be making noise or outside sounds noisy and you may not hear the guide's sound. This is a sightseeing bus, so noise is nothing special.

  Foreign tourist, avoid this at all costs! Trust me, you don't want to take this tour. Your head will hurt after 10 minutes. I'm serious. The tour is in Japanese, and the person doing the show does it in such a loud way, entertaining and useful for Japanese tourists, but hard to bare for anyone else. They will give you earphones for the registered English tour, but since they are so loud, you will hear absolutely nothing! Upon buying our tickets, they made us sign a paper to agree we wouldn't complain about the shortness of the English tour compared to the Japanese one. If that had been my only complain!... A very bad experience, not even worth for the views.
