Excellent organization - I was the first time on Okinawa and wanted to see as much as possible in a couple of days. I took a D tour and was sincerely enjoying the whole day! Very clean bus, a bottle of water, audioguide, even umbrella for me was prepared. The guide and driver were very positive and supportive. The information was exhaustive. For the Okinawa world we received drink tickets. The reservation and the payment was made online. The confirmation was sent quite fast. Thank you very much to Jumbo Tours company!

day of shops in the south - 'C course' stops at attractions on the south side, beautiful easternmost Cape Chinen, small UNESCO power spot Sefa-utaki (now that Shuri Castle has burnt down), and Okinawa World (time for the 25-minute aisai dance show at 12:30, a quick lunch, then 30 minutes in the incredible Gyokusendo Cave followed by a brief stroll through Ryukyu style tourist trap Kingdom Village - also optional snake show for an extra cost but probably no time for that) being the main sights, with other places like Glass Village (shops) and Ashibinaa Outlet Mall thrown in... basically a day with a couple of sights and lots of shops so keep that in mind if shopping is not your thing.
Other daytrips under 6000 yen can be booked online with a credit card or at the Jumbo Tour office in Naha, M-F/Sat 9:30~18:30/15:30 - can pay in cash on the bus or in the office (make sure to get a receipt in case you're asked to pay on the bus). Single ear headphone provided for the multi-language audio guide but best to bring your own if you want to hear it better. Bus has enough leg room - the bus itself is only marked 'Jumbo Tours', not Hip Hop Bus. The guide spoke good English - info about the sights is given on the audio guide so the bus is mostly quiet except for the music at low volume playing in the background for the first half of the day.
Overall quite well-planned, just enough time to do everything but not rushed at each stop where you're free to do your own thing. A good way to get to faraway places not easily accessible by public transport (especially Daisekirinzan of C course) & saves the hassle of planning/getting tickets since those are included - really recommend getting out of overly built up Naha for nicer natural scenery. The weather makes a huge difference on how some places look so better check the forecast and book closer to the date although it might be fully booked then.

Great but.... - It was a very interesting tour, I learned a lot about the city. The Shurijo castle was nice, the Gyokusendo cave too. I wish it was more about the history and the culture of the island. But it’s a very “shopping oriented” tour. We went to the Ryukyu glass village, they give you a discount to buy things at the shop.... Then, you go to a big shopping area...
