Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Great day Trip tour to Mt Fuji

Reviewed by: Herman Florida USA

Really enjoyed this tour. Would recommend a weekday tour rather than weekend though. We booked for a Sunday and traffic to Fuji was thick and delayed which shortened time at the portion of tour visit to station of Mt Fuji. Also very crowded on Sundays. Tour guide was very pleasant and spoke very good English. Ropeway ride and lake cruise were a good combination. Tour Bus was clean and comfortable. Lunch stop and restaurant was great. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to book a tour for Mt Fuji.

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Great experience seeing top sights in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: MikeT

My wife and I wanted to see several top sights in Kyoto in one day, but without the feeling of “it is 10.30, here is the temple, you have 2 minutes to take a couple of pictures then off we go.” Veltra’s full-day Kyoto highlights tour provided more than adequate time to enter each site and absorb its character. We greatly benefitted from an excellent and good-humored tour leader who provided concise but insightful explanations of the site being visited and its historical context. We especially enjoyed Kiyomizudera, where one has the chance to drink from one of three “streams of wisdom” coming from the sacred spring; the Fushimi Inari shrine, with its amazing “tunnel” of ochre torii; and Kinkakuji as the setting sun reflected off its gold exterior. Signing up for the tour was easy; finding the meeting point was easy; and following along with the narrations was easy (though some pre-recorded narrations on the bus were garbled — the guide just jumped in to fill the gap). Taking the optional upgrade to have lunch provided was a fun and cost-effective move. We would not hesitate to tour again with Veltra — a well-run outfit providing great value for money.

Mt Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Kawaguchi Cruise and Ropeway Ride

Limited time at the fifth station

Reviewed by: Koonz

We took 3hrs to reach 5th station and was given 45 minutes before departure. During the 45min, we were only able go to restroom as the restroom were so crowded, and took a few pictures around the shops..no time to walk around the fifth station at all..after that we head for lunch. The ambience of the restaurant was nice but we were only given 45min to finish our lunch..Lastly we went to cruise and ropeway before we headed back to shinjuku at 5pm. The overall experience was not very good as we spent most of the time traveling and limited time at the spot, the lady guide was not very friendly and instruction given was not clear.

Winter in Hokkaido was wonderful. 冬の北海道、素晴らしかったです。

Reviewed by: トラトラトラ

The tourist bus information center was hard to find. I think the use of earphones on the bus is great because you can hear everything clearly. However, I was disappointed with the lunch. I had seen the previously posted messages, but the issues pointed out had not been fixed, and I was surprised that the chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) was served cold without a lid. Was it managed by a foreign company? I really think chawanmushi should be served warm. What was the purpose of the posts? The planning team should be the one to seek improvements! The guide and the driver were both good.

観光バスの案内所がわかりにくかったです。車内のイアホンの利用は、聞こえないということが無いのですごくいいと思います。
ただ、昼食は、ガッカリでした。予め投稿されたメッセージを見てましたが指摘されたことが直っていなくて茶碗蒸しの蓋がなくて冷たいのには驚きました。外資系の経営でしたか？やっぱり茶碗蒸しは、暖かいものを出して欲しいです。何のための投稿でしょうか？企画されたところが改善を求めるべきです！
ガイド、運転手さんの対応は良かったです。

I participated during a very cold period when even the water was freezing, but with the rental of dry suits and knit caps, I was able to fully enjoy the activities without worrying about the cold. The guide (a former ranger!) provided insights about the nature of the lake and took photos, allowing us to leisurely cruise around Lake Shikotsu and the Chitose River. Even as a beginner, I was able to paddle the kayak easily and without much effort. I definitely want to join again with my family (the kids) during summer vacation! Thank you to all the staff.

It was well planned and the places we visited were wonderful. Yusuke san, the guide was helpful and entertaining all the way. The only thing which was upsetting was that some of the visitors from other tour groups who joined in the Lake Kawaguchi Cruise threw their plastic wrappers into the lake for convenience :(
I hope there are stronger measures to stop this littering to help preserve the beautiful lake.

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Bus tour = many sites in one day possible

Reviewed by: Mary V

Our visit to Kyoto was planned at the height of fall foliage season, on a national holiday, and a Saturday. That meant lots of traffic and big crowds. Kyoto is a beautiful city but the important sites are spread out. If you only have 1 or 2 days a tour is a must. This tour made it possible for us to go to sites that were remote from the Kyoto station, to enjoy a full hot pot lunch mid day, and get an overview of the history of each site as well as the city and region from the extremely engaging guide.

The tour is a really full day, wear good walking shoes (we got out 20,000 steps in) and pack snacks and water. When they say to be back at the bus at a certain time, they mean it! Several guests were left behind at one temple because they were late. The rules are the rules! It’s the only way you can see every place promised.

Our guide, Jorge, did an extremely good job weaving together practical advice for tourists in Japan, history of each location, interesting tips for enjoying our stay and many insights into Japanese culture. Plus, he was funny, which made waiting due to the holiday crowds far more bearable.

Private Mt. Fuji Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Hakone or Lake Kawaguchi

Excellent tour

Reviewed by: Patsy McLaughlin

Ken and Ishi made our day very special.  We appreciate their efforts very much and would highly recommend them for their knowledge and professionalism.
Ishi was a most excellent driver in heavy traffic.
Ken answered our questions about the tour sights, as well as many about Japanese culture. He also amused us with a Japanese lesson during the long drive. When weather prevented us from seeing Mt. Fuji, they substituted other sights to compensate. The Hoto restaurant they chose for lunch was also excellent. We could not have had better, more attentive guides.
We give them the highest recommendation.

The tour was very well organized, meeting place and all instructions are clear, receptionists and tour guides spoke very good English. The activities are given enough time to enjoy and appreciate Mt Fuji from the 5th Station to the Ropeway and the Cruise. Lunch buffet was at a hotel near Fuji Q with a wide variety of food.

I read a lot of reviews complaining about not seeing Mt Fuji - it’s not the tour agency’s fault. Luckily it was very sunny and we saw Mt Fuji in all its glory.

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Good if you're short on time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Melissa

If you add up the costs of all the entry tickets to the temples and gardens, plus a yummy lunch, the tour is okay for the cost. However we thought it was odd to have a tour guide but most of the talking was done by an automated voice over the bus speakers. Sitting near the back, we couldn't hear the voice clearly and it kept pausing and lagging. If the tour guide is knowledgable about the area, they should be able to deliver the information themselves.

We had an issue with the lunch as there weren't enough meals cooked, so we waited as they made more. Didnt get time to look in the shops surrounding the restaurant like the other participants did, but made up for it at the following stop.
Make sure you get back to the tour bus on time or they will leave you behind! But one of the staff went and retrieved the two lost guests and caught up with us later on in the tour.
There were lots of other tours at each of the stops, as to be expected it was crowded, but still some beautiful sights and great for souvenier shopping! If you only have a day in Kyoto, this is good to see it all.

Reviewed by: 苗ぽん

It was very good. The guide and the driver were kind and it was fun. The snowy scenery was amazing.

There was one disappointing thing: lunch. First, the restaurant was cold. The rice was cold. The chawanmushi was also cold in a container without a lid. There was a chicken hot pot, but the meat was very large and I wondered if it was cooked through. The slices of carrot in the pot remained hard until the fire went out. The time for cooking with the fire starter was limited, yet it wasn't pre-cooked... Honestly, I was disappointed. The restaurant was cold, and although there were small cakes, there were no warm drinks... I might have needed to ask for them, but we left the restaurant early and had extra time afterward. I was really looking forward to lunch in Hokkaido, so it was disappointing. The taste was good, though... My friend who went with me said the same thing.

But other than that, it was really good. I'm grateful to the fun guide and driver. If it were the same guide and driver again, I would like to request them again. Thank you! Please keep up the good work.

温かい飲み物もない・・こちらからお願いすればよかったのかもですが

We wished the boat cruise was longer down the river and the viewing at Mt. Fuji station 5 was longer.

If the bus left an hour or two earlier from the starting point we would have had more time to enjoy the sites and not be so rushed.

You can travel efficiently and affordably. 廉価で効率的に廻れる

Reviewed by: プラム

It was great to efficiently tour Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya. The audio guides are available not only in Japanese but also in Chinese and English, which was convenient as I didn't have to interpret for my companions who don't understand Japanese. However, since we were a group, it might be unavoidable, but at the restaurant at Manseikaku, while the taste wasn't bad, everything except the salt-grilled chicken hot pot was completely cold, which was disappointing. Since there was also a buffet at the same restaurant, I think it would be nice to have the option to switch to the buffet for the meal.

支笏湖・洞爺湖を効率的に観光出来て、良かったです。音声案内が日本語だけでなく、中国語や英語もあるので、日本語がわからない同行者に、通訳する必要もなく、便利でした。ただ、団体なので仕方ないのでしょうが、万世閣のレストランでの食事で、味も悪くはないのですが、とり塩小鍋以外は、すべてのものが冷え切っていて、残念でした。同じレストランでビュッフェもあったので、食事をビュッフェに変更できるオプションがあればいいと思いました。

Kyoto Tour to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji & Sanjusangendo

Wonderful Kyoto Tour

Reviewed by: DC Tourists

We joined this tour on the last minute, and I am so glad that we did. The tour stops were great, the length was just right, and tour guide, Lanny, was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the 8 hours on this tour.

As a first timer to Kyoto with limited time, we had a hard time to go to all the most popular attractions on our own. We are happy that Panoramic Tour did this for us. The 5 places in the tour, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Sanju-san-gen-do Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Arashiyama/bamboo forest/Tenryu-ji Temple, and then Kinkaku-ji (golden) temple, are all top rated places. These places are kind of spread out, especially Arashiyama, it would have been difficult for us to visit all on our own.

Our tour guide, Lanny, is excellent. She is knowledgeable and funny. Along the way, we learned not only history, but also local sayings and stories, about the temples and shrines that we visited. Lanny is polite, warm, and cares about her customers. To us, this is the best part of joining a tour group.

The tour was on time at each location. The bus itself was clean and had free wi-fi and charging outlets. The lunch, chicken hot-pot, was also a very interesting experience.

Overall we enjoyed this day trip and the top level services from Lanny and the nice driver. The only area can receive improvement is the description about the meeting location. The direction was clear for us, and we had to stop and ask for directions twice before we finally found the Kyoto Avanti building. Turned out we came out of the wrong exit from the Kyoto station and were on the opposite side of the building. It would be helpful if the online direction says which subway exit(s) to take to get to the meeting place.
