We had the best time on this tour! Our guide, mr Fumi was so knowledgable about everything and anything relating to Mount Fuji and Hakone. He even taught us some origami! We got picked up from the designated pick up stop on time, taken to Mount Fuji, then on a boat trip round Hakone and then finally up the gondola. I’d definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

It was an excellent tour to Mt. Fuji! We enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Jack, was amazing and knowledgeable. He explained everything about Fuji and other attractions. His descriptions about Japanese culture, food and history were quite enlightening. Definitely recommend It!

Our guide Hiro was great, had a good sense of humor and was very entertaining. My sister and I enjoyed the tour, very informative and lots to see. Was a bit disappointed to see that the moss phlox at shibazakura festival was not yet in full bloom at the time we visited (3rd week April). But Mt. Fuji was Truly Amazing, definitely a sight to see!!!
The tour is overall a great value for money, had lots of fun - Mt. Fuji, Shibazakura, Tulips Village, Strawberry Picking and of course the Japanese Sake Tasting!

Me and my wife took this trip. It was well organised . Our tour guide spoke English and was funny. Although all the activities listed were covered there was hardly any time to relax and enjoy the moment. Except the boat cruise. The journey itself takes most of the time
So can’t complain much. The lunch was Japanese cusine it was a nice experience.

What a amazing tour !
We were very fortunate to have a clear day and amazing views of Mt Fuji
Everything on this tour was great, the amount of time we stopped in each place and the traditional lunch was yummy
Perfect tour for those who want to see a lot and the bus ride is comfy
I couldn’t fault our tour guide, he was lovely and funny and entertaining and helped us all take amazing photos. He even switched around the schedule and we got to go to the ropeway instead of the 4D ride thing and at the rope way we got the most incredible pictures of mt Fuji. We were also very fortunate to able to go all the way to fifth station
I would highly recommend this tour
Thank you for joining tour and review.
We are happy to hear that.

The trip was nice, the places what we visited are awesome however i would expect more from the tourist guide to be familiar with the history of the place.
In the trip we heard 150 times - Mount Fuji, beautiful but not too much about the history, about interesting facts or the spiritual side of the mountain or about Japanese culture.
The transportation was the value in this trip mainly.

This was a very long day out.
The mountain was covered in cloud. We were greeted with snow, at the 5th step.
Lots of driving.
Lunch was fair.
It was dull and wet at the lake, which spoiled the experience.
The ride on the rope car was high and fun.
Waiting for others was a pain. We didn't arrive back at our hotel until very late.
A good experience, which looked better on TV.
We saw better views in Shimitzu on another tour, from our cruise ship..

Our family had the disadvantage of traveling in from Tokyo Bay, so our travel either side of this tour was already extended, and that could not be helped by the tour company. However our pick-up was late from the hotel that we had arrived at just before the scheduled pick-up time that had required us to wake our sleeping children which was rather frustrating. It was also raining and cold. We waited for the bus and then travelled about 10 minutes to waste more time transferring to another bus.
The tour company cannot be held accountable for the weather, but the gondolas were not running, the highest viewpoint we could access was No. 2 and for most of the day Mount Fuji was not visible. Our tour guide was lovely and informative and provided lots of information about points of interest other than those listed on the itinerary. The tour company chose a shrine to visit instead of riding the gondolas which was enjoyable.
The lunch was average, the hot pot was nice but the tempura was stone cold when we arrived.
The stopping points felt rushed and most of the day was spent on the bus. We opted for the bus ride home seeing as we were a family of 5 and our rail passes had expired the previous day. Once passengers transferring to the bullet train had been escorted to the station, our bus waited (or wasted) a considerable amount of time waiting for another bus to join us before beginning the long trip home.
Considering we were the last drop off and had to commute back to our hotel after drop off at the designated hotel, all of the delays and waiting around to transfer and join with other tour groups made the day feel wasted. We definitely regret choosing this activity for our last day in Japan.

This was a nice tour that give you an overview of the area. The view of the mountain is a far distance, can say that I've been there but not so impressive. The village visit was my favorite, though rushed so couldn't fully enjoy it. If can come and stay overnight, might be better opportunity to see the area.

Overall it was a great day. Our guide, George was great but a single day trip is not enough for Mt Fuji due to the travelling time. We spent full 5 days (excluding 1 day for Mt Fuji and 2 travelling days) in Toyko and there is still much to do with the museums, parks and especially the culture.
If you really want to visit Mt Fuji, I would suggest spending the night to enjoy the magnificient Mt Fuji, onsen and mother nature.

This was a long bus ride to Mt. Fuji but our tour guide was very interesting and shared the history of Japan and the region. Mt Fuji was beautiful and the traditional lunch was so incredible. Only thing we didn't enjoy was the boat ride and tram to the top of the other mountain. The crowds made it difficult to stay up top very long (15 minutes) as the tram was very slow. The Shinkasen ride back to Tokyo was speedy and fun.

I realize the weather is out of the control of the tour oppotators, however, we can’t be the first tour that experienced bad weather. And it was clear they had no “Plan B” for when that happened and both Kakone and the cruise were cancelled. Likewise, I know I signed that there would be no refund, but what happened to the tickets for the above activities that we didn’t do?
I’m sure this would be a great experience on a sunny day.

Endo-San was waiting for us at the appointed time in our hotel, he is truly fluent and an excellent guide and we had a knowledgeable and fun day. The other thing that was memorable was our udon lunch in a small restaurant (inn?) which was both delicious and good value. We ended the wonderful day with 45 minutes in an onsen - my first in an open-air onsen, looking at Mt Fuji. Of course thanks to God who gave us perfect weather and thus a marvellous view of the mountain. I would recommend Endo-San to anyone traveller.

I had a perfect day to visit Mt. Fuji. We got to photograph it from different angles with excellent results. Lunch was OK, but the time spent in Hakone and the cruise were pretty much a waste of time. If you can find a half day (morning) trip to Fuji, I would recommend you take it.

the view wAS GREAT except the weather covered up the mt fuji but anyway the tour guide is very good she made some drawings for all of us to understand easily because we are mixed citizens in a group. Very friendly n helpful. Our tour guide gives tips in all areas like queuing in comfort rooms, souvenir shopping n all.
the reason why i put good coz we are already on top of the mountain but didn't see any mt fuji ...its not your mistake on your part its the weather. the rest are all good and the places we went thru have only few cherry blossom trees
Plus my companion sister in law & brother in law are not on the same bus and we are told theres no chance going together in one bus but later i found out it is possible to switch from one buses to another.Instead of group go five we are separate into two groups

We really wanted to visit Fuji, and I was looking a way to do it by our selfes.
Then I saw the Veltra tour and I knew that if we went to see all those things by ourselfs, we wouldn't see even half of it.
I was right and I'm realy happy we took the tour.
We saw everything on the list, exept we only went to the 4th stop on Fuji and not to the 5th like it said on the program.
At least we got on the mountain a bit :)
I wish we had more time in the Ninja Vilage. We had the best lunch (the one included in the tour for 2000¥ per person for all you can eat), and we immediately went on the Ninja show for 850¥ (not included in the price of the tour). After that we barelly had the time to visit the gift shop and didn't even strolled through the village it self. I gues we should've hurry with the eating.
All and all we couln't see all that by public transport, and it would've cost a lot more.
Thank you for the tour,

- i dont have any complaints about the tour operator/tour guide as such
- veg lunch was good and all
issues were around
- travel times between the sites is high so you end up spending lot of time in travelling rather than on sites
- mount fuji is big let down, nothing much really. just a snow covered mountain
- boat trip is only for 15 mins, so it ends before you know it
- ropeway was also so so. fact that there were clouds on top didnt help as it got so cold that nobody could even go out and enjoy any scenic views
i wouldnt recommend this tour as there was nothing special. the only saving grace was the return shinkasen ride which is a very unique experience. but this can be done standalone also without any tour. dont waste 11 hrs on this when you can do so many things within tokyo.

A well organized tour and the tour guide and driver went far and beyond to make our trip memorable even at the beginning that all the stations where closed but that didn’t keep them from trying to make it happen... Fortunately, around 10 or 11am they were given the go signal to go to the 1st station instead of the 5th and we did see the beautiful view of Mount Fuji. I would highly recommend it to 1st time traveler to Tokyo and even to those who are returning. Definitely a must see attractions. A great combinations of places to go and see. It’s all worth your money and a lot cheaper compared to viator. Glad we booked a last minute tour from veltra.
