All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Brought mom on this tour today! It was her first time in Tokyo, and I was quite worried how the tour would turn out given the weather forecast (rain!) and the reported closures of certain attractions caused by the recent typhoon. As it turned out, our worries were unfounded! While it was indeed raining as we were boarding the bus this morning, the weather started to clear as we head closer to Mt Fuji. The tour agency also made very good arrangements for us to have a great time. Coupled with the enthusiastic tour guide Jane, I would say our whole bus-load of people truly had an unforgettable day out! And guess what we found at Mt.Fuji? None other than Mt.Fuji!! I know this may not make sense, but you'd be surprised how many people went to Mt Fuji without seeing it...mainly due to weather issues. Well, we thought we wouldn't be able to catch it, but we did...snow-capped no less!

Really appreciate the quality of the tour, the seamless arrangements from one destination to another, and the professionalism show by the tour guide, and our bus driver. Couldn't have asked for more. Thumbs up!

A very well organised day trip to Mount Fuji, including lunch, lake cruise and cable car ride.
Fantastic experience, although we only had a brief view of Fuji San (you can't control the weather!!).
Lovely light lunch at a "French Themed" restaurant in the theme park at the base of Fuji.
20 minute lake cruise and a cable car ride, with cracking views of Mount Fuji (if weather plays ball!!), expertly guided by Hiro!!
Thoroughly recommend this trip.

Overall we had a beautiful day with excellent weather that made it possible for us to see Fuji.
I gave this tour only 3 stars because:
1. When I book the tour, they advertised false picture of the Pagoda and Fuji in the background view, and added details about this stopping point that made me think I will get there and that was the main reason I booked this tour. In reality, the point was just another shrine, not something special with almost no view of Fuji to take pictures of.
2. The tour was suppose to end 18:30-19:30 according to the itinerary, in reality, we ended at 15:00 and it felt like we were rushing to get to the next stop, and came back to Tokyo at 17:30. So 1 hour less in the Fuji area...
This is not what I was paid for. When I wrote Veltra about their false advertisment, they just told me they took off the wrong pictures, but gave no compensation at all.
Also- our guide was from Japanican- so I wonder why even bother ordering from Veltra if it cost a bit less ordering from Japanican if we got their guided tour anyway?
My suggestion, if you really want to see the entire Fuji mountain- take a different tour in the lakes area, because we only saw half of it every stop. And each stop was super crowded.

The overall impression of the experience was great and everything was on time.
We're a couple and liked the most about the mountain and scenery nearby. However, it depends on the weather as well. We're a bit unfortunate because we could not see the top of the mountain as it was cloudy (indeed, we could not predict the weather accurately, because we booked earlier based on forecast and it supposed to be sunny). But, we had enough time to walk and explore at the 5th station. The staffs were all great and friendly: from the lady who welcomed us, the guide who speaks both japanese and english, and of course the driver. We expected to have a light lunch provided, but the trip included a proper course lunch which was great and delicious. Also, they have options for special dietry and you must make sure to let them know. We can advice future participants to book in advanced as the tour can easily get fully book, please state clearly if you have any special dietry for lunch, and enjoy your trips! Overall, it's highly recommended especially for those travelling with kids, couple, and old people. All the seighseeing, lunch, cruise, cable car, and return transport are included.

This trip was in general very good. It was easy to find the meeting spot and the person who was standing there waiting was very helpful and made sure that everyone got on the bus etc. The bus was very comfortable and when arriving at the fifth plateau it was unfortunately cloudy. However the bus driver stopped at a second stop that was not in the plan and there we were able to see the top. Very appreciated! The lake cruise and the ropeway ride was okay, would probably be more fun if it was sunny. The time at this stop was too long as well. In the end, everyone was standing around and waiting for the bus to go back to Tokyo so maybe reduce the time there during the off season. But in general, a very good 1-day trip that I would recommend.

My husband and I did this great tour together. It was filled with fantastic views and sceneries. The boat cruise was amazing and Mount Fuji is stunning. It's 100% recommended to do this tour if you want to experience Mount Fuji from different points of views. It might get cold out there, so we recommend you bring a sweater. The tour leader was a sweetheart and the Veltra team did a great job organising every part of the trip. We highly recommend this tour.

The overall experience was outstanding. Both the tour leader and bus driver were very friendly and offer assistant in any way they can. At every stop the tour leader explained very carefully what to do and when we need to get back to the bus. The 5th Station was cloudy and we did not get the chance to see Mt. Fuji. Same for Lake Kawaguchi. However after riding the ropeway to the top of the mountain and wait for a while, we could finally see the peak of Mt. Fuji. Such an amazing experience. The best part of the tour is the western-style lunch at a very cozy restaurant, and the $3 coupon. We did not use the coupon to buy ice cream but to buy souvenir because there are many selections.

The entire process of booking the trip, partaking in the day’s activities, and returning back to Tokyo was all seamless. We were blessed with beautiful weather and clear views of Mt. Fuji, which was a huge bonus. Lunch was great. If you are a big eater, I would recommend bringing or buying a snack for the ride home in the evening. Overall, very satisfied!

Had an amazing time on this tour. Our tour guide communicated clearly and effectively with the guests. He made sure everyone knew when and where to come back at and willingly answered everyones questions. The weather was perfect!! We saw Mt. Fuji in all its beauty. Lunch was pretty good with a fun spot at FujiQ theme park. Lots of photo opportunities! The boat ride was great, you get to see mt. Fuji without interruptions. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a day seeing the famous mountain

The best option for foreigners to visit Mt. Fuji as a one day trip. The trip was very well planned and organized. Our tour coordinator was very pleasant and friendly. She was very informative about the various attractions on the way as well as the planned spots. Our first destination was fifth station of Mt. Fuji. Even though clouds covered Mt. Fuji most of the time, we were able to have a pretty good look at the highest peak of Japan, thanks to our generous driver who stopped at a point( when the clouds moved away for a few moments) just below the fifth station on our way back. The next destination was lake kawaguchi where we experienced lake cruise and rope way ride. The lake is surrounded by green landscape. This will be a perfect option for any group like family, friends, couples etc.

The experience overall was amazing starting with the bus journey to Fuji which was comfy and air conditioned with a friendly driver. Our tour leader was extremely informative, happy and spoke great English. The 5th station was cloudy but it was a lovely area to walk around and the views were still incredible. The boat journey on Lake kawaguchi was stunning and peaceful. What made the whole trip was when we went up the ropeway the cloudy had moved and we could see Mount Fuji clearly. A lovely touch at the end was a voucher for ice cream. I would recommend this trip to everyone who want to see Mount Fuji or just wants a trip outside busy Tokyo.

It was amazing experience to visit Mt. Fuji
Tour guide and driver are really kind.
Food was amazing, never had Hoto noodles before, it wasMiso type flavored soup.
Souvenir shop was interesting I bought rock sweets

My wife and I had an awesome time with this tour. Its a beautiful day in September which I thought it would be raining but it ended up that we see a glimpse of Mt fuji, sunny and warm though clouds covers this mystical mountain most of the time. Better for you to bring jacket in 5th station as it gets very chilly, walk through the side of the building where there are benches good for photoshoots, away from most of the tourist. We head down for noodle soup afterwards, perfect timing to ease my cold body. We also had fun in grape picking as it was our first time, truly memorable. Berry grape was really sweet and jelly in texture, we had constant reminder to pick only what we can eat. There are lot of shops for souvenir which was great! Our Japanese English tour guide was very informative and helpful. I recommend this tour package If you want to have well organize and a quick escape from tokyo.

The trip was excellent along with the guide and the lunch we had, well done

Awesome day tour lead by a very knowledgeable and funny tour guide Kana-san!
We were a little unlucky with the weather however Mt Fuji was visible for a very limited time throughout the day. Would highly recommend for anyone with limited time in Tokyo as a must see!
Lake Ashi cruise was also beautiful and gave us another brief view of Mt Fuji as the clouds parted.

We had a Awesome day spent at Edo Wonderland! It was my first time in Japan and was definitely worth the visit! I highly recommend this place if you have time to stop by!

I booked this tour for 5 people. The overall experience is alright. We are not able to see Mt. Fuji because of how cloudy it is. Our tour guide was nice. We felt we were rush a bit, each stop only lasted for an average of 30 mins

A recommended spot that rivals the factory night views is the gantry crane at Honmoku Pier. The sight of massive container ships loading and unloading containers, along with the orange lighting of the pier, is a must-see. Each time you visit, you'll see a different scene, making it great for photography enthusiasts as well.

工場夜景に負けないくらいのオススメスポットが本牧埠頭のガントリークレーン。巨大なコンテナ船にコンテナを積み下ろす光景や埠頭のオレンジの照明がは必見です。
何度乗っても毎回違う光景が見られるのでフォト派にもおすすめです。

Please be on time. The bus lives on time. You will find plenty of food to buy.

Great day tour to Mt. Fuji and several other attractions. Yukiko was a wonderful tour guide. I really appreciated the history and knowledge she shared about Japan and the sites we visited. I also liked that before stopping at each site she presented a map that provided a basic layout of the site. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring a sweater or jacket for the Mt. Fuji visit and take lots of pictures!

Excellent tour, we took a trip on 27/8/19 and we got to experience Mount Fuji in all it’s glory, Shiraito falls was another highlight of the trip. Our guide Ms. Yuki Koh was so informative, we really learned a lot about the backgrounds/significance of each location and also about Japanese culture and history. Two thumbs up

This trip was fantastic. The guide was one of the best I've come across. His english is exceptional and he had the whole tour in fits of laughter for most of the day. We unfortunately didn't get great weather but this was to be expected, he cannot control that! He was a caring guide who wanted everyone to get the most out of the trip and we all for sure did. In terms of the places we visited we spent enough time at each place to ensure we didn't lose interest. Lunch was fantastic, traditional Japanese cuisine. And to top everything off the value for money is phenomenal! There were some really expensive day tours but this came in a little cheaper and well worth it. Cannot recommend enough, great day out.

Would definitely recommend this itinerary & tour! Our tour guide was friendly and service was great overall.

I was happily surprise for the whole tour, very veryyy nice, comfortable bus, very well organized tour, beautiful places to appreciate the mount Fuji. I felt they really thought about us as visitors and welcome guests, not just random people that only represent money for the company. Totally recommend this tour and the company. I would definitely go with them again. I traveled with my wife and 1 year old baby, and I had no issues, perhaps I would recommend next time to offer a car seat for the baby.

Outstanding from beginning to end.

The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and spoke IMPECCABLE English.

There was heavier than usual traffic and the guide kept us updated on ETA and impact on schedule.

All the activities were excellent, including the substituted activities that were neceisstated due to closures of part of the original activity (due to volcanic activity).

I participated at the end of July. The captain was friendly and even let us move to the bow of the boat, which was great. Since we were exposed to the wind the whole time, it felt quite cold by the time we returned, even in the middle of summer.

７月末に参加。船長さんもフレンドリーで船首へ移動させてくれたり最高でした。風を浴びっぱなしなので真夏でも帰る頃には寒いくらいでした。

The guide was terrific - friendly and knowledgeable. She kept the group engaged and interested. It's a shame that Mt Fuji was shy and hiding from the tourists but that's no fault of Veltra. We had a wonderful time on Fuji and the rest of the tour anyway.

It was a hot, cloudy day and almost no part of Fuji-San was visible, but it was an enjoyable trip and a great way to see the area quickly in one day.

A well organized tour which we, as couple enjoyed today. Sad that the weather was gloomy and cloudy that we failed to see Fuji-San but nonetheless, we still enjoyed all of these UNESCO heritage sites. Approved!

Bad weather destroyed this tour. The operator was aware of the typhoon that hit Japan but decided to go ahead with the tour. The weather did not improve, we could not see mt fuji at all. Instead we saw a museum and a pathetic aquarium.
