Tokyo Half-Day Tour to Tokyo Tower, Asakusa from Tokyo and Shinjuku

Half-day Tokyo tour

Reviewed by: Alice , 2024/03/23

Guide was great. Very nice tour. Only feedback is that I would have preferred less time at Tokyo Tower and more in Asakusa.

Tokyo Day Tour to Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, and Asakusa from Tokyo and Shinjuku

The rain didn’t dampen our fun.

Reviewed by: Maria, 2024/03/06

We had a lovely rainy day on a warm and dry bus. Nice spots to give a good view of Tokyo with a nice lunch. Comfy yellow bus with big windows.

The Shinjuku station pickup spot could be noted a little more clearly. Directions take you to the Hato bus office so we went very early and caught someone. It wasn’t clear that they would be there the whole time or locked up so just know there is a 1 and 2 bus stop just for Hato on the street directly across from the Starbucks that is outside from the office (not across the street, but just a straight walk out towards the street). The pole sign will call out their different packages and they will be there to ensure you’re on the right bus.

Mt. Fuji Classic Route Day Tour from Ueno & Shinjuku

Average for travel spots but good at customer handling

Reviewed by: Tam, 2024/01/07

traveled with parents, personally the travel spots in the itinerary is just average for me. Anyway, would like to thank driver and tour guide as we needed to board Shinkansen at 8 pm so they really managed the time for us to catch up with the train.

It was really difficult to reach gathering point on time. I was late for 5 mins and I waited there for 1 hour. Now I am waiting for refund or compensation with other tour.

Review of Mt Fuji Tour with Jojo J

Reviewed by: Robert M., 2023/10/25

Hello Veltra,
Just wanted to share the great experience I had on the Mt Fuji Tour package with Jojo. This tour was my second time in six years and lived up to expectations each time. I especially want thank Jojo who was very professional, personable and courteous. The trip to Mt Fuji was terrific but, especially terrific because of Jojo’s effervescence as Japanese cultural background Ambassador and delivered it with humor and kindness,
Thank you all for an amazing day!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Pace of the tour was too fast.

Reviewed by: Michelle from Manila, 2023/04/11

The overall pace of the tour was too fast. Our time at the arakura sengen and oshino hakkai area was too short. We no longer had enough time to see the shops at Gotemba Outlet Store. Perhaps the tour duration should be extended to at least 10 hours. The bus should depart from Tokyo earlier so the group could have a better chance to see Mount Fuji earlier in the morning.

Tina, our accommodating tour guide spoke English clearly and audibly. The bus was fairly new and very tidy.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Disappointing scheduling

Reviewed by: LW90, 2020/03/28

This tour is hugely dependent on the weather. On the day, it was rainy and foggy. That in itself was uncontrollable by those running the tour but what was disappointing was leaving the Gotemba Outlet at 15:30 to arrive back at Shinjuku at 17:00. The schedule stated two hours at the outlet and leaving there at 16:00. If the entire tour group didn't spend all that much time outdoors because of the weather wouldn't it make sense to spend the extra time at the outlet rather than arriving back in Shinjuku an hour early?! We were told there may be traffic on the way back but that hardly justifies getting back an hour early.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Tokyo with Lake Ashi Cruise and Hakone Ropeway Ride

Amazing Mt. Fuji Trip!

Reviewed by: Charm, 2020/03/06

I was very lucky that we had a clear day during our Mt. Fuji trip so the group I was with was able to do and visit all the attractions as stated on the description except that we were only able to visit 1st station since 4th and 5th station were closed due to heavy snow. It's not a big deal though as there are still lots of chances to see the magnificent Mt. Fuji on the way. If you're planning to visit Mt Fuji during winter, make sure to layer well since its colder there compared to the city. Expect as well a long travel time from Tokyo to Mt Fuji as it's roughly 139 km away. And lastly, I highly suggest to take the option with Bullet train as it will only take you 40 mins back to Tokyo compared to 2-3 hours travel back by bus.

FYI, the bus first row (left and right) are reserved for the guide and driver#2!

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Wonderful Day Trip!

Reviewed by: Kari-Lyn, 2020/03/05

We were so excited to stumble across this tour, when we were looking for a guided trip to see Mount Fuji! It’s very budget friendly for a tour, and had us stopping at some really great spots, so we definitely felt like we were getting more than what we paid for (awesome photo ops!)

We were accommodated last minute and received confirmation immediately. Pick up/meet up location was easy to get to, and felt very safe during the drive.

Our guide was very helpful, and made us feel very welcomed. Overall wonderful experience! Highly recommend it!

Great day tour a lot to see!

Reviewed by: Cheryl, 2020/01/21

Good itinerary, a lot to see in a day without getting rush. Only drawback is the guide announced 1 1/2 hour at gotemba that i have to show her that veltra is offering 2 hours in the outlet which the guide respectfully followed after we showed her the veltra site. Overall we were happy because it was a beautiful sunny day and we saw mt Fuji 100% clear.

Tokyo to Kyoto 1-Day Tour by Shinkansen with Afternoon Leisure Time

Excellent Kyoto day tour

Reviewed by: Avid Traveler, 2020/01/21

I was a bit apprehensive after reading the other reviews, but I had no problem at all during the trip. The tickets were at my hotel by the time I checked in. The tour starting point in Kyoto was pretty easy to find if you know how to read a map and follow the signs in Kyoto station.
The tour itself was amazing. We were taken inside Nijo Castle and saw the intricate paintings in the rooms. Then there was the beautiful Kinkakuji temple with it's amazing gold leaf covered lake side pavilion. The only part that was a bit underwhelming was the imperial palace (as you can't go inside any buildings).
For the free time, I bought the afternoon tour by the same company (Sunrise Tours) that did the morning tour. That covered the other must see temples of Kyoto. In fact Veltra should package that in as well. It only costs an additional $60.
The downside of the long day was that it was quite tiring at the end. I mostly slept during the train journey back.

Mt. Fuji Tour from Shinjuku with Oshino Hakkai and Arakura Sengen Jinja

Impressive and beautiful views of Mt Fuji!

Reviewed by: Craig Ishimaru, 2020/01/19

The tour took us to great and memorable views of Fuji, but felt rushed and didn’t allow enough time to enjoy each attraction, and the 1-1/2 hour visit to the outlets is barely enough time to walk from the bus to the far end of the mall and back without even being able to stop at stores to shop. The itinerary said there would be 2-1/2 hours at the outlets. Also, the souvenir store at the beginning of the tour at Lake Kawaguchi Oishi Park is by far the best, so buy your souvenirs there in addition to getting some good pictures.

Over all i like this tour very much, time for every site is good enough and not too rush. Our tour guide mr. Eric give brief information that really useful, informative and not too much. He also know very much all places that good for photo taking, since we'd love to take good pictures from all tourism object.

I like all site, the lake, the shrine and the village and also the shopping mall that we visited. this tour is very colourful tour. The bus driver also drive very smooth and good and drive safely.

Good Tour

Reviewed by: Chaitanya Kartheek , 2020/01/12

This tour covers all the mandatory sights in and around Mount Fuji on a day trip from Tokyo. The guide was very helpful. If you have JR pass then you can take the shinkansen back to Tokyo else it is good idea to boom the tour with bullet train package. Food served during the tour was average. Overall a goos experience.

Very enjoyable Mt Fuji tour.

Reviewed by: Anders W., 2019/12/16

Great trip. We were blessed with good weather allowing us to visit the 5th station and see Mt Fuji up close, and clear, although it is pretty cold up there (with the wind chill). Tour guide Yoshi is very professional, courteous, helpful all the way. He provided some good Japanese cultural and historical information which helped us to enjoy the tour even more. The Hakone ropeway ride and the Ashi cruise were also very enjoyable. The lunch was enjoyable. Everything in the trip was great. The drivers were safe & courteous. I couldn't ask for any more. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Below average trip.

Reviewed by: Priyanka sodhi, 2019/12/08

It was a so so trip. Nothing much on foliage. Keikyu Train trip was useless.
Kasuki dam trip had nothing.
Only thing that was worth were Ashikaga flower park illumination.
Shimmeigu shrine was okay. Mizunuma onsen has very very little foliage.

Hi Priyanka sodhi, thank you for spending time to write the review for us! I am so sorry this trip did not impress you the most during the supposedly best season. The weather might be not so good, and cold too when you took part in the tour. The autumn leaves are one of the most beautiful scenes all over Japan, and we hope there could be some other chance to see that in the future! Glad to know you liked the illumination, and may that a sweet memory of your trip. Thank you for joining us again!
