Pick up was efficient but the time was an hour later than that advertised in the literature, Mount Fuji was great, lunch was fine then it rapidly deteriorated. The post lunch itinerary was changed due to volcanic activity at the advertised ropeway. The lake cruise was forgettable, it was overcast and wind, it was very poorly supervised by the guide who gave garbled instructions that we couldn’t understand The ropeway was left to last by which time it was getting dark and the wind was getting up so we gave it a miss and poodles around for an hour in the souvenir stalls.
The return was chaotic we wasted ages dropping off people returning to Tokyo by train then it was a crawl even though the congestion wasn’t bad. It took more than 3 hours to cover the 70 km from the ropeway to our hotel

Hicimos este tour los primeros días de Octubre y lamentablemente nos toco nublado y
No pudimos ver e Monte Fuji. La guía muy amable, pero si ya no puedes ver El Monte Fuji todo el tour pierde su encanto. No se confíen de las predicciones del tiempo!

We had a very enjoyable trip to Mt Fuji. Our tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Lunch was good and enough for an all day tour. We then went to pick grapes. The tour ended up at a winery and we purchased a nice bottle of sweet wine to remember our trip plus a box of peach jelly. overall it was a very nice tour and well organised.

The tour was very good, we picked this one because it didn’t stop at the shopping mall as we didn’t want that. The sight stops were very short but they had to be because we stopped at four different spots. The tour guide named Joy was The best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was informative about everything and gave us extra information on the way about anything that could be seen from the windows and she was funny too. We recommend this tour very much

We had such an awesome time with this Mt. Fuji tour. The activities are well-organized, we enjoyed walking around the villages, taking photos with Ninja and beautiful Mt. Fuji almost every where we went to. The lunch was super delicious and since it was a buffet so our 4 kids enjoyed all their favorite food. Ami is such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, we loved the way she taught us how to make a small origami and I like her poems too. The price of the tour is higher than others but it is worth the money.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
