All Reviews for Japan Autumn Tours 2024

I searched for a tour that wouldn't be crowded for my elderly mother, who has health issues, and decided to join this one. On the day of the tour, it was just me, my mother, and her friend participating. They took thorough measures for temperature checks, sanitization, and maintaining distance between guests, so the COVID-19 precautions were excellent. Both my mother and her friend were very satisfied and said they wanted to try this in all four seasons! I was also thrilled by the beautiful night view of Tokyo, and I can't forget the impressive sight of Tokyo Tower that day. I am very grateful to all the staff who organized the tour while making efforts to prevent infections during the pandemic. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

高齢で持病ありの母のために、密にならないツアーを探しこちらに参加しました。
当日は私、母、母の友人の３人で参加。
検温、消毒、お客さん同士の間隔もしっかりとられていて、コロナ対策もばっちりでした。
母も母の友人も大満足で、春夏秋冬すべての季節に挑戦する！と言っていました。
私も綺麗な東京の夜景に大興奮で、あの日見た東京タワーの迫力は忘れられません。
コロナ禍の中、感染防止に努めながらツアーを開催して下さっているスタッフの皆さまに大感謝です。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

It was a quick but enjoyable time, with plenty of services from the driver and interesting explanations from the guide. From a perspective that you wouldn't normally experience, you can enjoy sights like Tokyo Tower and the expressway, feeling like you're on a little roller coaster from the height of the bus. I would like to try a different course next time. My elementary school-aged child was also very happy.

あっという間の時間でしたが、運転手さんのサービスも盛り沢山、ガイドさんの解説も楽しめました。普段では味わえない目線からの東京タワーや高速道路など、バスの高さからちょっとしたジェットコースターに乗った気分を味わえます。今度は違うコースに行ってみたいですね。小学生の子供も喜んでました。

The seats are assigned with quite a bit of space in between. While the bus was moving, there was an incredible wind, so I was able to enjoy the ride without worry. The night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. I would like to participate again.

座席はかなり間隔をあけて指定されています。バスが動いている間は、物凄い風なので、心配なく過ごせました。
夜景は想像以上にきれいでした。また参加したい。

this was a great day tour, you got to see so much of tokyo , while riding around in the air-con bus! the guides were so much fun, and so helpful, we learned so much. there was a little bite of everything on this tour with not a whole lot of long walks. shrines were great and we loved the tokyo tower.

this is a great full day tour from tokyo, but was never a dull moment on the wholw trip. guide was informed, helpful , and very fun! ever stop was full of hstory and great views. mt. fuji was everything we hoped it woulf be. fun boat rides and the bullet train blow us away.

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!

The full day tour covered most of the attractions I want to visit in Tokyo! A must tour if you have a limited time and want to cover popular attractions.
Recommendation though for future travelers, please allot plenty of time to go the meeting point. Please consider as well Google Maps live view, its really helpful finding places in Tokyo! Honor as well the time provided by your tour guide, be back on the bus as he/she stated so you'll visit all the places on time.

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

We had a nice,relax city tour with this tour agent. Tour guide was very attentive and well organized. We had buffet lunch and we liked it very much. We will highly recommending people to join this tour.

Informative introduction to Tokyo and value for money.

a must do tour if you are in Tokyo. Fantastic tour guide and a great way to get the best views of Mt Fuji.

I was the only one who chose this tour on that day and the organizer respected the tour schedule and commitment.
professional tour guides and comfortable transportation.

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.

A perfect day in Tokyo:
1. The service we received was perfect.
2. The guides were very open to provide more and more information about Tokyo. We had 2 guides - pictures attached.
3. We visited all the places according to the program.
4. We learned more than we expected about Japan, Tokyo, the culture, etc.
5. The restaurant we visited was very nice. The atmosphere for typical Japanese style and we could feel Japan. The food was perfect. Thank you for your choice!
6. We really enjoyed Tokyo this day.
Thank you for the perfect service we received by your company!

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.

Our tour guide Mr Tetsuya "Teddy" ISHIDA, and driver 林 were very punctual and very friendly. He speak good in mandarin and English.
This trip is completely tailored to suit our family of five (3, 9 and 12 year old)
We were all blown away with how well we all enjoyed our day trip. We managed to get some brilliant images of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended- money well spent

Booked package tour through veltra.com and immediately after online payment email confirmation received for tour details and pick up point. I found difficulty in locating pick up point, so advised travelers to have sufficient time margin in reaching pick up point, as bus departs on time without any further wait. Japanese people are very strict on time, so when they announce for time, be careful and return to bus before that time, otherwise you may miss the bus on any sightseeing point. Booked vegetarian food, but could not get anything there even salad was having meat. Alcohol are mixed in most food products. Vegetarian are advised not to book food in package. Better to carry your own food as alternate food availability is also not there other than included in package. It was sunny day, hence could see Mt Fuji amazing views and it made our day. 5th station was closed due to snow fall, hence we returned from 1st station. Only 10 min was given at first station, which was most beautiful place in entire trip and this was negative. Lot of time spent for lunch which was not necessary. Cruise trip was in dark, so it was just a boating, could not see the beauty around mountain. Return ticket for bullet train was given in bus and highly recommended due to heavy traffic jam during return trip. It took only 35 min to reach Tokiyo instead of 2.5-4 hrs in bus. Overall package cost was more, however tour is worth due to natural beauty. Lady guide was fluent in English and coordinated well the entire trip, except for time management. Recommend every traveler to visit Mount Fuji, it is must tour if you are in Tokiyo. You can leave Tokiyo city tour, if time does not permit but Mt Fuji tour is must, if whether permits.

Good day activity out of Tokyo. Not too strenuous for elderly yet get to see mt fuji and enjoy hakone! Lunch was good too. Only set back was controlling the other people on the tour. With each stop being 5-10mins late, we ended up being half hour late for last activity which was the lake ashi cruise and being late autumn/early winter, the sky was dark and we couldn't see anything! And because it was late we decided to take the bullet train back to tokyo which cost extra. Overall, a good day tour!

Fantastic and friendly Driver and guide. Very accommodating and great access for my large electric Wheelchair
As first-time travellers to Japan from Australia we had a great time.
Highly recommended

The guide was very good and informative. However, Mt Fuji was completely fogged in (even it was hard to see the shops at the 5th station in the fog), and it was rainy, foggy for all of the other sites. The lunch was great, though, and it was a nice day to get out of the city into the countryside. Because pretty much all of the sites were not visible I would have hoped that this tour be rescheduled (the following day was clear).

Both were great in providing the service, and the driver were really eager to make sure all of us had great time during that day. He also took us to very special place where we could enjoy watching Mount Fuji although the 5th station was closed due to slippery. Was such a great experience and service.

We hoped to see Mt. Fuji, but, unfortunately, it rained the day of our booked tour and Mt. Fuji was not to be seen. But all was not lost. Our driver, Toshi, picked us up promptly at the scheduled time and drove us to the Mt. Fuji area. On the way he gave us information on local sites that we passed. Our guide, Yuko, was very knowledgeable and gave us options for our rainy day. Our driver and guide learned that we liked to hike so we went to a beautiful shrine at the base of Mt. Fuji and hiked on an ancient trail to the first station. A great way to experience Mt. Fuji on a rainy day. Yuko gave much information on local customs and the Shinto religion involving the mountain. We then had a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant. Following this, we chose to go to a museum featuring a world renowned textile artist who made kimono art. These were fabulous. It was then late in the day and we traveled back to Tokyo. A different experience than we hoped for due to the rain, but a memorable and enjoyable day thanks to Toshi and Yuko. We definitely recommend their services for guide and driver for the Mt. Fuji tour. They’re the best!

It was a superb trip. Everything went on as planned with right time pickup. The guide was excellent. All places were visited as per the brochure. Lunch was very good. OnlY the weather was very bad.

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.

We had a wonderful day out with our driver, Tuk and our local guide, Yuko. We saw a quick film of Fuji and the information centre then went to fifth station to visit the shrine and to admire a closer view of Mount Fuji and the surrounding areas. We then visited a local restaurant for delicious noodles and sake. We then continued to Arakurayama Sengen Park to take photos of Mount Fuji with the Pagoda and continued to enjoy the local markets and stalls and the Autumn Leaves Festival at Kawaguchiko. We were able to take phots of Mount Fuji from a variety of different locations and our day was well paced as we have young children (3, 6 and 11 years).
Our day was pleasant as our guide and driver were very knowledgeable, polite, friendly and accommodated our preferences. Highly recommend this tour if you like your own space and you’re travelling in a small group.

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!
El almuerzo buffet fue regular. Pudimos regresar en el
Tren bala pagando un adicional, tour muy caro sobretodo si te corres el riesgo que te toque día nublado

Perfect way to see the best of TOKYO in one day. The Odaiba cruise and inclusive lunch was a plus.

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!

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

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