This tour is definitely worth it!
We did it in Feb 1st week and it was cold but worth the visit to Hakone and Mt. Fuji.
All the sites were very pretty and luckily we got a clear view of the Mt. Fuji.
Our tour guide was extremely sweet and very patient with all our questions.
The cruise at Lake Ashi was also exhilarating.
The most amazing part was the return by bullet train. The most amazing and fast Shinkasen experience!
Would definitely do this entire tour again in another season to see different scenic views!!!!
Thank you Veltra for this awesome trip!!!!

A good tour to save time. It is very difficult to navigate these places via public transport in Japan and it also saved a lot of time having to line up to purchase tickets.

First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you

I used this service to guide a couple visiting from South Africa. It was very optimal for sightseeing efficiently in a short six-hour time frame. The driver speaking English was also a plus. I believe the direct conversation between the guests and the driver deepened personal understanding and increased the guests' enjoyment.
For the sightseeing plan, I basically just communicated the places I wanted to visit to the driver and left the rest to him, which resulted in the most efficient sightseeing experience.
Although the cherry blossom season had already passed, I was hoping to show the guests some cherry blossoms. The driver advised that Ninna-ji Temple would have late-blooming cherry blossoms in full bloom, so we visited. Just as the driver said, they were in full bloom, and we were able to enjoy it at the perfect timing.
The car was comfortable to ride in and I think it was worth the cost. I would like to use this service again on my next opportunity.
南アからの訪問者ご夫婦を案内するのに使わせて頂きました。6時間の短時間で効率良く観光するにはとても最適です。運転手さんが英語を話せるのもGoodです。お客さんと運転手さんの間で直接会話が弾み、個人的な理解も深まってお客さん自身も楽しみが増えたと思います。
観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
車も乗り心地が良く十分コストに見合うものだと思います。次の機会も利用させて頂きたいと思っています。

I used this service to accommodate American and Mexican guests. It was very well received, and everyone was satisfied. The driver's English was not fluent, but he had solid knowledge, and I believe the information was conveyed properly. I also appreciated his sincere attitude in explaining things. I definitely want to use this service again in the future.
アメリカ人とメキシコ人の来客対応として利用しました。大好評で皆さんに満足してもらえました。運転手の英語は決して流暢ではなかったですが、知識はしっかりしていて、内容もちゃんと伝わったと思います。誠実な説明態度も気に入りました。是非今後も利用したいと思います。

We were taken care of by a total of four people, including two Americans. As expected from a top English guide in Kyoto, they were attentive not only to temples and history but also to dining locations and movie filming spots. Their politeness was commendable. This is true Japanese hospitality.
アメリカ人2人と合計4人でお世話になりました。さすが京都の一流英語ガイドです。寺院、歴史はもちろん、食事の場所やら、映画の撮影場所紹介などこと小まめでした。礼儀正しいのが良かった。これぞ日本のおもてなしです。
Thank you very much. I hope you had a great time. I will also convey this to the crew.
ありがとうございました。楽しい時間を過ごしていただければ幸いです。乗務員にも伝えさせていただきます。

After checking in at Urban Hotel Kyoto, our driver was waiting for us in the hotel lobby. At first impression, he spoke English well, so I was immediately confident that communication would not be an issue. He was also very polite and courteous. The car we rode in was spacious and comfortable.
Our first destination was Kinkaku-ji Temple. Our knowledgeable guide was very informative all along the way, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of this historical site. The experience at Kinkaku-ji Temple truly is a fine example of human architecture and nature co-existing in harmony.
Our next destination was the Bamboo Walk, where famous parts of the movie scene from "Memoirs of a Geisha" were filmed. Next, we headed towards Tenryuji Tsukurimichi-cho.
Our final stop of the day was Gion. After an informative introduction by our driver, we bade him goodbye and were left to enjoy the rest of the evening walking in the area of Gion. We would definitely like to come back to Kyoto again for our next trip to Japan, which has left us with an everlasting impression of beauty, cleanliness, and impeccable standards of service!

The Full Day Grand Tokyo Tour was a nice and relaxing way to view the cities highlights and gardens. Nagi and Jun were excellent guides throughout the day and even taught us a few greetings and how to count in Japanese. I would recommend this tour as a good way to hit the major highlights of Japan.

The trip was nice, we enjoyed the cablecar and the pirate boat. Went to the 5th station in Fuji but other than a meandering mountain road there was nothing up there but a souvenir shop. A bit of quick trekking around would be nicer.
The guide was very helpful and made the coach trip much entertaining, providing interesting info and jokes :)
The but comes at stopping times, particularly at the Hakone fumes, which made us literally run to see the fumes and get back to the bus on time.

Certainly the best thing to do at the start of a holiday in Tokyo. Shame that a couple of items were missed out of the program because our trip fell on a Friday, but the lunch made up for it, excellent lunch and well worth the cost.
