All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

best tour if you have a small amount of time in Tokyo. We went to a lot of places and it does not feel rush. We will use veltra again when we go back to Japan!

One of our most memorable trip in Japan is at Mt. Fuji. No hassle, great views our tour guide even helped us with our lost phone at mt. fuji. Thanks again!

We were lucky on the day we visited. Sky was clear and we were able to see Mount Fuji and also visited the Owakudani Valley (and eat the Black Egg!). Our tour guide, Kana-san speaks good English and clear. She also gave us alot of visitor information on Japan. We did not make any lunch reservation therefore we ordered food from the hotel on that day itself - not too pricey, for about 1300yen and you will get a quite decent bowl of Hot Udon with tempura.
Worth going for this tour!

Unfortunately with the traffic, touring by Coach was not a good idea as we spent most our time travelling. May be going by bullet train and meet at the station would have been better, Drivers and guide were very nice.

The tour was great. The guide had a lot of knowledge of the areas and even sang songs for us on the way.

Would recommend this tour to anyone travelling in japan.

Bus drivers very helpful, staff generally very kind and helpful. The two routes we took encompassed quite a great deal of the city. We preferred the route that took in the Rainbow bridge. We had a job finding the office to collect our ticket after getting our online voucher, but a kindly bus driver took us to the office and dropped us off. Once there we were able to get our tickets and were off. The bus is hop on hop off but limited in time, so we were only able to do the two routes in one day as there was a gap over lunch time, which is why we found a little restaurant near the office to while away the time until the afternoon bus. They are not as frequent as we have found in other cities, but on the whole worthwhile for the money.

We went on the private Mt. Fuji pilgrimage tour. Our tour guide was Taiji Endo. We all had a good time and our our guide was great! Very informative and a safe driver. He also gave us a good restaurant recommendation for lunch. We would definitely recomment the tour and our tour guide as well.

The tour is good. We have Aikko as our tour guide, and she was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent. But the time to do things is limited. We had only 45 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.
Overall the tour is good, the weather is good, the variety of traditional Japanese lunch is good. I will be going to Mount Fuji again in winter, hope we can spent more time there.

We were lucky to have seen Mt. Fuji without the clouds blocking it. It was gorgeous. We had Tomoko-san as our English speaking guide. She was very nice and accommodating. She even escorted us to the train station going back to the hotel. Overall the tour was really worth it.

The tour was great and Japanese lunch provided was yummy too! Special commendation to our guide, Nana-san! She was well-prepared and detailed. She brought samples of local produce to show us, and all her instructions for meeting locations were illustrated with drawings! She was very professional and made sure we know her guests knew their way back to their hotels after her tour. She came to each of us personally with handwritten instructions which JR line and train to board. We completely enjoyed ourselves!

Since we only had 5 days to explore Japan, we needed to plan our itinerary well. Thankfully, this tour brought us to many amazing places in just one day.

Although mostly cloudy during fall, we were able to sneak a great view of Mt. Fuji at the 5th station. The bus ride was also very smooth, and our tour guide Hiro was very helpful and informative. The tour is also great for elderly since not much walking/trekking is involved.

The only downside is the limited time to do things. We had only 30 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.

But considering the locations we were able to visit in a day, I would say it was worth it. We arrived back in Tokyo around past 6 pm giving us enough time to enjoy dinner.f

Tour worth doing. The guide was very friendly and informative. The bullet train ride was a great way to finish the tour.

The bus ride is fine for a speedy trip through parts of Tokyo. We had good weather, but I would not do this in the rain. The guide was a bit out of sync at some points and cut the commentary short when you went past locations at higher speeds. It was a good intro to Tokyo, but I am not sure I would recommend it for the price.

Unfortunately, rain was pouring down this day. We got all wet on the bus. Can only visit Asakusa Temple. Not a memorable day to speak off.

Great day. Had a great guide who gave us lots of interesting info on Japan and it's people on the way. Kept with us right to theto the end

We loved the tour. It was designed well and really enjoyed the view from 5th station. It was foggy but cleared up for a while to enjoy the view. I would definitely recommend the tour while in Tokyo. The pick up and drop off was great and lunch was great as well. Enjoyed !

It was great - the food, the guide, the trip, everything was really good.
So why not 5 stars you might ask? - well, there has to be room for improvement, the bus could be nicer (thats a queation of price i understand that), but why do i still need to print my confirmation, and why do i have to call to confirm when i have paid in full and so on. It's actually quite difficult to call, the number dont work from a mobile phone - du you think a tourist travel with a printer and land line....... off course most hotels offer that, but it's a hassle you can't do everything online, or through the app. But please understand that it is a very very small complaint - the trip was really really good, and the price was low.

Taiji is a great guide. He arrived on time and took us to Mt Fuji. He has the 'Mt Fuji luck' where every tour group he brings, the mountain view is clear. He speaks very good english and french too! My children loved him. This itinerary was fun and relaxing just the way we wanted.

The meal was nice and a good variety of Japanese foods.

Great tour! Fuji was viewable and we were very lucky. Our 2 guides Michael and Xavier were knowledgeable, helpful, very positive people and we would definitely recommend them as our guides.
I suggest if you ask people to meet at the love statue, you should have one of the guides there, as it was a rainy day in the morning and we were standing there not clear if it was the meeting point. We saw a green bus nearby and went to investigate, and that was the actual meeting point, but if we would have continued being passive, we might have missed the bus.

Since my workplace is in Nihonbashi, none of these places were new to me. However, I was truly surprised at how fresh everything felt from a different perspective. I was also satisfied with the staff's service. Thank you very much.

職場が日本橋なので、いずれの場所も初めてのところではありませんでした。でも、でもです！目線が違うとこんなにも新鮮なのかと本当に驚きました。スタッフの皆さんの対応にも満足です。ありがとうございました。

Convenient and well organized tour to Mt. Fuji and Hakone from Tokyo.
Recommended for first timers!

all places and activities were interesting especially the ninja village. tour guide was nice and warm.

Our guide's name is Tomoko who speaks perfect English. She educated us on Japanese culture, how to count in Japanese, and much, much more. You need to have more guides like her, as she is absolutely WONDERFUL.

We enjoyed the tour, flight simulator was very exciting and we managed to get a clear view of the mountain when the clouds cleared for a short time. Tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable

Definitely go to this tour when it is a nice sunny day! We went when it was foggy and cloudy so we did not see Mount Fuji at all. The lunch menu isnt that great as the tour brings you to one hotel restaurant. Average price per meal was at least 12,000 YEN. I would suggest to eat at the first pit stop restaurant that is attached to the convenient store. Me and my BF had a ramen bowl that was pretty good for only 500 YEN! We also ate at another restaurant at the Mount Fuji pit stop. That ramen bowl was pretty descent as well! About 700 YEN. Also when the tour is over, I would highly suggest riding the bullet train back since it only takes about 30-40 minutes to get back to Tokyo compared to the bus ride that takes about 2 and half hours. Overall, the tour was okay and I was disappointed that we did not see Mount Fuji and this tour lasted 8+ hours.

Even on a rainy day it was a good trip, as nobody is responsible for the weather! The guide (Yoko) was very optimistic and managed to keep us hopeful all along the journey. She accompanied us everywhere and gave good advice and explanations.
Unfortunately the meal was very basic and a disappointment for me. I had made the same trip some years ago and the choice of the restaurant and the lunch had been much better.

Convenient bus and Shinkansen tour to visit both Mt Fuji and Hakone in a day from Tokyo. Many people but worth it. Convenient pick up from hotel.

Excellent tour to visit both Mt Fuji and Hakone in the day from Tokyo. Convenient and fun. Easy pick up from hotel. Highly recommended!

I participated on a Sunday in early September. The departure was at 17:50. I thought it might be a bit early for sunset, but it turned out to be the perfect timing. I was able to enjoy the transition from dusk to the beautiful night view.

The night view of the factories was stunning, even for those of us who aren't particularly into "factory aesthetics." It was great to see the flames from the chimneys that I usually only viewed from the Bayshore Line while driving. Being able to see them up close and hear the sound of the flames was a wonderful experience. I realized there were so many ways to enjoy this.

I was also happy to see the Tsurumi Line stopping at Umashibaura Station from the water, and I appreciated that we were able to wait for the timing when the illumination of Cosmo Clock changed. During such moments, the captain made the effort to bring the boat closer and even stopped for a few minutes for a photo opportunity. As many others have mentioned, the captain's commentary was very enjoyable, easy to understand, and engaging. I believe everyone was able to hear the explanations without being drowned out by the sound of the boat's engine.

The cruise lasted an hour and a half, which felt just right—not too long at all. It’s a perfect sightseeing option for a summer night.

As for the seasickness I was worried about, I didn't feel nauseous from the boat's rocking. (In fact, it didn't rock continuously, and whenever it did sway significantly, the captain would inform us, saying, "We will sway a bit now.") However, the smell of exhaust fumes was a bit bothersome... but I quickly forgot about it once I got off the boat (laughs).

You will need to wear a thick life jacket for the upper body. Depending on your clothing, it might be a bit uncomfortable, so it might be good to keep that in mind.

I took all the pictures with my smartphone. If you’re careful to avoid shaking, you can get decent shots even with a smartphone! I took photos with both a compact camera and my smartphone, but the smartphone ones turned out to be prettier.

9月初旬の日曜日に参加しました。
出船は17:50。まだ日没にはちょっと早いのでは?と思いましたがベストタイミングですね。
日暮れから夜景のキレイな時間までの変化を楽しむことができました。

工場の夜景。特に『工場萌え』ではない私たちでも十分に美しいと思える景色でした。
普段は湾岸線から車で見ていた煙突の炎....
あれが間近で見られ、炎の燃えるゴーという音を聞けたのも良かったです。
こんな楽しみ方があったのだな…と気付くことがたくさんありました。

海芝浦駅に停車する鶴見線を海上から見られたり、コスモクロックのイルミネーションが変化するタイミングを待ってもらえたのが嬉しかったです。
こういう時は船長さんの判断でわざわざ船を近付けて見せてくれたり、数分止まって撮影タイムを設けてくださいました。
また皆さんもおっしゃっていますが、船長さんの解説がとても楽しく、わかりやすく、興味をひく話題でした。
船のエンジン音でかき消されることもなくて、全員が解説を聞けていたと思います。

1時間半のクルーズでしたが、長すぎることもなくちょうど良かったです。
夏の夜にはもってこいの観光ですね。

尚、心配していた船酔いでしたが、船の揺れでは酔わなかったようです。
(実際に終始揺れたりはせず、たまに大きく揺れる時は船長さんから「数回大きく揺れます」と その都度教えてもらえました)
ただし排気ガスの臭いで少々…
それも船を降りてしまえばすぐに忘れてしまいました(笑)

上半身は厚手のライフジャケットを着用となります。
服装によっては着づらいこともあるので、着用することが念頭にあるといいかもしれません。

画像はスマホですべて撮りましたｖ
スマホでもなるべく手ぶれしないよう気をつければこの程度撮れますよ！
コンデジとスマホ、両方で撮りましたが、スマホの方がキレイに撮れていました。
