サイクリングツアー 地元ガイドと行く!箱根の豊かな自然をマウンテンバイク巡る半日ツアー<箱根>by ハコネマウンテンリッパー

Cycling in nature 大自然の中でサイクリング

Reviewed by: カーキキャップガイ

In my case, there were no other participants, and it was basically sports. The guide, Mr. Suzuki, adjusts the course and pace according to the participants. At each destination, I was able to enjoy adventurous elements, such as peering into a mystical pond, encountering a pheasant, and finding a deer skull.

私の場合、他に参加者はなく基本的にスポーツでした。ガイドの鈴木さんは、参加者に合わせてコースやペースをアレンジしてくれます。
行く先々で、幻想的な池を覗き込んだり、キジに出くわしたり、鹿の頭蓋骨があったりと、冒険的な要素があって楽しむことができました。

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour from Yokohama Port with Customizable Itinerary

Great tour after getting off our cruise ship

Reviewed by: Travel enthusiasts

Had the best time on our tour. Our guide Ken was fabulous. He took us everywhere we wanted to go which included the Meiji Shrine, Sensoji Temple, and Shibuya crossing. When we departed our ship Ken was there to greet us. He and the driver were very professional. My only regret is that we didn't have more time before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight home.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
It was a true pleasure guiding you. I'm grateful the rain cleared just in time after your long cruise, and I really enjoyed sharing the fresh morning air with you during our walk through
the forest at Meiji Shrine.
Also I'm happy the tour could match your wishes, even with limited time.
Wishing you all the best until we meet again, hopefully next time with Mt.Fuji in view.
Take care!

Warm regards

鎌倉観光タクシー 鶴岡八幡宮+長谷寺+小町通 古都鎌倉の名所を巡る<1日/1~9名/横浜エリア送迎あり>

I highly recommend sightseeing in Kamakura without any crowds. 混雑なしで、すいすい鎌倉観光おすすめです。

Reviewed by: とりしまさとる

In June, I thought it would be difficult to use a car for sightseeing in Kamakura, but this time, by using this tour, my family and I were able to leisurely enjoy the beautiful hydrangeas at Meigetsuin and the famous bamboo grove at Hōkokuji. Thanks to the experienced taxi driver who was knowledgeable about the roads, we received accurate advice like, "It's not crowded right now," and we were able to enjoy our sightseeing comfortably. I am already planning for the next visit, hoping to bring my parents who have difficulty walking along with us.

6月の鎌倉観光は、車の利用は難しいと考えていましたが、今回このツアーを利用して家族で、明月院の美しいアジサイや、竹林で有名な報国寺をゆっくりと観光できました。道に詳しいベテランタクシードライバーの方のおかげで、「今なら空いていますよ」という的確なアドバイスをいただき、快適に観光を楽しめました。
次回は足の不自由な両親も一緒に訪れることができればと、今から計画を立てています。

The best cycling. 最高のサイクリング

Reviewed by: たろやん

I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be pleasantly sunny, perfect for cycling.

I rode through places that only locals would know, fully experiencing the charm of Hakone. There were also spots that could only be accessed by mountain bike, which was a lot of fun.

Next, I would like to join a course that visits power spots, so I look forward to it again.

Since it was a weekday, I was the only participant, but they kindly guided me and proceeded at my pace, making it a very comfortable tour experience. They took me to places that I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it was truly a fulfilling tour. Thank you very much. The guide took a photo of me from behind at the end, but I forgot to have it transferred to my smartphone, which is a shame. There's no way to get in touch, right? (laughs)

平日ということもあり、参加者が私一人でしたが、快く案内してくださり、私のペースに合わせて進めてくださったのでとても快適なツアー参加となりました。こういう機会でないと見られない所にも案内してくださり、本当に充実したツアーでした。ありがとうございました。ガイドの方が最後に後ろ姿の写真を撮ってくださったのですが、それをスマホに転送してもらうのを忘れたのが残念です。連絡取りようがないですよね?(笑)

Thank you for guiding us through the Hakone Forest Course the other day.

We took several short breaks to match the pace of the children, during which you kindly explained a lot about the nature of Hakone. Thank you for your kindness. Riding mountain bikes and traversing the forest trails was a refreshing experience for our family. Even a few days after the tour, the children are still happily talking about it.

Next time we have the opportunity to go to Hakone, we would like to try a different course. Thank you very much.

Discovering new attractions in Hakone! 箱根の新しい魅力発見!

Reviewed by: ☆☆☆

Due to the restrictions on going out during the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt a lack of exercise and participated in a walking tour. The guide from Hakone was friendly and explained various plants, flowers, and birds native to Hakone, as well as shared other walking routes, making it a very interesting experience beyond just walking. We took a break by Lake Ashi; although the weather was cloudy, the breeze was very pleasant. The route was about an hour from the meeting point at the visitor center, and after the tour, I relaxed in a hot spring in Hakone, followed by a beer that was exceptional! It turned out to be a fulfilling holiday, different from my usual routine. Next, I would like to try a trekking tour.

コロナ禍の外出自粛により、運動不足を感じておりウォーキングツアーに参加してきました。箱根出身のガイドさんは気さくな方で箱根に生息している草木花や鳥について色々説明してくださったり、他のウォーキングのコースを教えてくださったり、ただ歩くだけではない大変興味深いウォーキングとなりました。途中休憩は芦ノ湖畔で、天気は曇り空でしたが、風が大変気持ちよかったです。集合場所であるビジターセンターから1時間ほどのルートでしたが、ツアーが終わった後は箱根の温泉で汗を流し、その後のビールはまた格別!で普段とは違う充実した休日となりました。次はトレッキングツアーに参加してみたいです。

I have visited Hakone many times, but this time I requested a guide and went for a stroll. It was wonderful to leisurely walk while listening to enjoyable stories about the trees, birds, and animals in Hakone. I highly recommend it when you have some free time. The guide was friendly and great. Next time I come to Hakone, I would like to request a light hike.

箱根は何度も来ていますが、今回はガイドさんをお願いして、散策してみました。

This time, with the whole family. 今度は家族全員で

Reviewed by: モモも

We participated as a family of six. We raced through the mountains on mountain bikes and thoroughly enjoyed the deep nature of Hakone under Mr. Kato's insightful commentary. Our youngest, who is in fifth grade and whom I was most worried about (though I wasn't really that worried), ended up leading the way, competing with his older brother and Mr. Suzuki, and had the most fun. The older sisters and mom also enjoyed themselves at their own pace. Next time, I would like to try a different course with the whole family, including our second daughter who couldn't join this time.

家族6人で参加しました。野山をマウンテンバイクで駆け抜け、加藤さんのアジのある解説のもと、箱根の奥深い自然を満喫できました。一番心配していた(実はあまり心配していなかった)小5の末っ子もお兄ちゃんや鈴木さんと競うように先頭切って走って一番楽しんでました。お姉ちゃん達、ママもマイペースで楽しんでました。今度は別のコースを今回参加できなかった次女も一緒に家族全員で走ってみたいです。

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.

Dear Patsy,

Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed our tour even in a rainy day. Though we couldn’t blow away clouds from Mt. Fuji with our breath, as you found, the area has many things that attract tourists around the year such as autumn foliage, cherry blossoms, museums, breweries etc. We are looking forward to serving you again.

Tokyo Private 1-Day Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Customizable Itinerary

Wonderful day with Ken Takahashi in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Ron Atkinson

On the day after Tokyo's massive typhoon and large earthquake, Ken Takahashi met us at the Yokohama port to provide the day tour in Tokyo we had reserved, originally planned the day earlier. Ken took us to all the places we wanted to see, with a few of them off the regular tourist path, with Tuck, our driver. We were so pleased to see the usual places tourists want to see, as well as take us to a bamboo forest. My wife also wanted to find an artisanal fan, and Ken found an excellent shop with wide choices with a 5th generation owner, and he helped her purchase one with a stand. Ken also took us to a tea ceremony, and then a tempura lunch, the best tempura we've ever eaten. He has an excellent knowledge of history and of the city, and with his experience, and our interests, he curated an active and meaningful 8-hour day. After the day, he created an edited video of our day (taken with his Go-Pro camera) and promptly sent it to us along with a journal of the day. One of the things we found most thoughtful was the coordination of Tuck's dropping us off close to the places we wanted to see, and then magically Tuck picked us up at a very close location, to maximize our valuable time that day. Wonderful day with Ken, and proactive communication with Veltra (Taiji) when we all realized that the typhoon was going to hit Tokyo on exactly the day we had planned our tour. We were so grateful that our tour could be pushed back one day.

Dear Ron, Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad to know you and your wife enjoyed the tour.

As you experienced, we always try to meet your request whenever possible. The bamboo forest in Yokohama you visited is not known so well even among local people. We also glad you enjoyed the tea ceremony session as an optional choice where you actually prepared Maccha (the powdered green tea) by yourselves and served it to your partners. Your smiles made us happy. Once again, thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to serve you. Please come again!

Private Charter Taxi Tour to Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka from Yokohama

The driver went above and beyond!!

Reviewed by: Irene

We arrived to Yokohama on the day when it was raining profusely. The driver met us and immediately gave us a modified itinerary that was cancelling the 5th station on Mount Fuji, but added one more lake t visit. Since the driver did not speak English and we did not speak Japanese, such cancellation did not become obvious to us at the initial moment. We understood it when we were already delivered to the first lake which we could not really see because of the rain., not to mention the Mt. Fuji that was supposed to be seen on the other side of the lake. By the time we were brought to the Gotemba viewing point, the rain became not as strong and the sky started clearing a little. We still did not see Mt. Fuji at that point. Then the weather started clearing even more and by the time we arrived to the Yamanaka lake there were some hopes to see a little bit of the Mt. Fuji. Then the driver said that he will drive us to the 5th station in hopes that we will see FujuSun, but he will arrive to our final destination after 6, which was about 1 hour after the scheduled arrival . Since we had no plans to the evening, we readily agreed. The driver also said that he will not charge us for the overtime, which we appreciated a lot. The end result is: we saw Mt. Fuji, we made excellent pictures, we have seen more that was promised to us and the driver really tried his best to show to us his beautiful country, playing the traditional song for Mt. Fuji on his cell phone and then letting us listen to the part of the road that repeats the song while you drive on it!! It was a fascinating experience for all of us and there was no real language barrier felt. Thanks to Veltra for setting up such a nice trip and thanks to Radio Taxi for providing such a nice ride for us!

Private Charter Taxi Tour to Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka from Yokohama

Springtime-snow Surprise

Reviewed by: Nieves Ty

Booking with Veltra was easy and convenient. They promtly responded to my queries, which were minimal anyway because their instructions and notices were clear in the first place. We rode a Nissan van (probably an Urvan), which seated us comfortably (we were 7 adults and 1 child). Our driver, Mr. Nakamura Yasuo, spoke minimal English and we spoke minimal Japanese, but it felt like there was no language barrier at all! He showed us around Hakone very professionally and courteously. And even though it was snowing and quite dangerous to travel, he did his best to comply with our requests. Indeed, the springtime-snow surprise that day was very memorable to our family because of Veltra!

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour from Yokohama Port with Customizable Itinerary

Tour of Tokyo with Tom was one of the highlights of our Japan trip

Reviewed by: Robin Olsen

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!

Private Charter Taxi Tour to Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka from Yokohama

Private taxi tour to Mt Fuji from Yokohama Cruise ship.

Reviewed by: Cruiseranger

We booked our 8 hour private taxi tour a few months before our cruise ship was due into Yokohama and the tour was tailored to our own requirements including a lake Ashi cruise, the rope way and mt Fuji. There were a few emails back and forth to get the exact tour and the Veltra sales staff were very responsive and helpful.
We were more than happy with the final itinerary and the price was excellent.

Unfortunately our cruise ship had some weather issues and we were late arriving in Yokohama by around 6 hours.
We were aware a couple of days before arrival that we would be late and contacted Veltra to see if we could change the tour from Friday to Saturday.
Again, the response was superb and within a few emails everything was sorted.

There were a couple of other last minute changes, which again were handled really well by Veltra staff.

Our taxi was waiting where we agreed with a name board and the tour started bang on time.
The tour was excellent and our driver, despite speaking very limited English, managed to show us around explaining things through handing out pre-prepared English maps, leaflets and information hand out sheets.
We had some great views of Mt Fuji and he helped with the buying of any attraction tickets we needed.

Overall, everything was excellent and I would'nt hesitate in recommending Veltra and their tours.

Thanks.

We have had a quality tour and he explained to us important and interesting highlights of the different era on the Japanese history.
On behalf of the group, we would like to extend our appreciation to Ken Takahashi, tour guide and driver Mr.Higashi san for making our day in Tokyo a memorable one.

Tokyo Private 1-Day Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Customizable Itinerary

Outstanding Tour of Tokyo day and night!

Reviewed by: Julie

I booked a 12 hour private tour for a group of 8 with transportation - October,2017.
Our quide (Taiji) met us at the Yokohama port (we arrived via cruise ship) at the designated time. We visited Rikugien Japanese Gardens, Imperial Palace-East Garden, National Museum of Tokyo, Senso-ji temple & Nakamise St.
We had an amazing lunch and traditional Japanese dinner. The only thing would have been to have some time for shopping. We also went to Shibuya Crossing before returning to Yokohoma. The weather was rainy so that contributed to a long day!

Guide needs a microphone in van so all can hear him.

Our group was VERY pleased with the service and sites!

Do Not hesitate to use Veltra!

Dear Julie
Thank you very much for choosing my service and booked for a whole day tour.
It's been a while and I hope you had some more good times on your cruiser ship discovering different countries and cities around the world.
I'm very happy to have received such nice feedback with 2 very nice pictures.
It was also a good experience for me to have organised a long day tour and have contributed to make you know little better than before.
Please feel free for any assistance in Japan if you or your friend will ever have the chance to come.
I myself enjoyed the dinner in that authentic restaurant.
Thank you for everything.

Tokyo Private 1-Day Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Customizable Itinerary

tour transfer

Reviewed by: Emerson

Took awhile to locate the guide at the port. Would have been easier to find with a more prominent sign. We had 7 people with luggage which completely filled the van. Ended up taking the luggage to our hotel first before starting the tour. Despite the somewhat rocky start due to the van size for our party we ended up having a good day. I would suggest no more than 5 people for that size van when you consider the luggage. The guide was wonderful and went out of her way to ensure we had a good tour and lunch spot. Would do again but with less people.

Dear Emerson, thank you very much for booking with us and all apologizes for the inconvenience whit the size of the van.
The biggest car can actually fit all luggage you had. However we've mismanaged and brought you the second biggest van. We are now operating all tours from Yokohama (osanbashi terminal) using the largest car, but please excuse us again and thank you for your honest comment.

Here's the message from your tour guide Akemi

It was really a nice to meet you and I am glad that you enjoyed the trip after all

Tokyo Tour

Reviewed by: Marie Holland

A great day spent with our guide. He was very well informed and friendly. We saw so much in our short time from shrines, temples, the Palace and we were even lucky enough to see part of an traditional wedding. Lunch was something we'd not experienced before but was very delicious. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time next time.

Dear Marie
Thank you for having choosing my service. I had a very good time and we were very lucky that we could see the traditional wedding but also able to see one of the biggest festival in Meiji Shrine.
Sukiyaki lunch was awesome, IMAHAN is actually in one of the well reputed sukiyaki restaurant in Tokyo.
We've definitely had a good day with sunny sky.

Highly recommend this tour.

Thank you Sylva again for choosing me out of many and for your kind comment. It is such an nice idea to travel with relatives especially when you are not so close to each other.
I hope you enjoyed the lunch as it still is a memorable dish for me, definitely one of the best place that I've tried so far, and I really enjoyed men's talk with your husband.

Kamakura & Yokohama 1-Day Private Tour from Tokyo

Fantastic time!

Had a great time in Yokohama & Kamakura with Taiji, our driver cum guide.
So glad that I opted for this tour provided by TSA

Saw beautiful golden maple leaves - remnants of Autumn. Trip was enjoyable as our guide was fluent in English which made communication a BIG plus

Patient & accommodating to our needs, young and old. Will highly recommend Taiji to anyone requiring driver cum guide services
