Tokyo
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,
Elena from Skopje, Macedonia.

- 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.
We had a great view of Mt. Fuji, even on the road to the sites! Levin was very entertaining and informative. The 4-D ride was an amazing experience.

This tour made me enjoy seeing Mt Fuji at our own pace. We were picked up by a good driver and a knowledgeable tour guide. Upon riding the van wee discussed first the final.itinerary. the guide Akiko detailed out the places we were visiting and their significance. So we proceeded as planned to the heritage center shrine lunch near the pond and the lake. My family enjoyed it very much especially at our own pace. I highly recommend this tour to small groups.
Good trip with an amazing view of Mt Fuji! Very lucky it was a clear day, Had an enjoyable cruise and enjoyable bus trip!
The tour was carefully arranged but unfortunately the weather was bad so we didn't have the chance to ride both the ropeway and the cruise.
We had a difficult weather day and the operator made every effort to give us a quality experience. Our guide Eiko was outstanding.
Overall, I suppose the tour delivered alexactly what it said it would. Out your guide, while quite a lovely lady, seemed unsure and somewhat disorganized. She often did not give clear instructions on what to do next.
The day was long, as were the gaps between the activities. I was finished at each location in about half the time, and had to meander for the remaining time. Then, having to drive for an hour to the next activity was quite boring.
The weather was not agreeable on this day, so this may have negatively colored my experience.
Always wanted to visit Fuji, the tour was in my proce range and my friends and I had a good time.
Bring Snacks for the ride in case of traffic.
If You have a JR pass, leave the tour at the Shinkansen station which will put you back in Tokyo with plenty of time for dinner and more shopping.
We had good experience with the tour company. All of the direction were very clear and we didn't have any problem finding our meeting point. Well worth it if this is your first time visiting Japan. It was quite a relaxing day actually. We took the way back to Japan by bus, but it would have been a lot faster with the train. We weren't worried as much because we just slept on the way.
The tour guide was very experience and spoke english very well. Due to weather, we can noly reach to step one station. But tour guide manage us to bring the lake side where we can see Mt Fuji very clear , even no cloud cover it.We enjoy japanese lunch also. I recommend to come back by Bullet train. We can reach back Tokyo by 27 minutes..
Our group of 4 had a great time with our guide Masa.
We wanted to view Mt Fuji but the weather only allowed us to see mostly the base.
Masa customized the itinerary so we could make the most of the tour, we saw Mt Fuji base, Oshino Hakkai ponds, Kirin Whiskey Distillery and the Cherry Blossom Festival in Matsuda.
We highly recommend this private tour :)
we had so much fun in oshino ninja village.the tourist guide is very knowledgeable.he gives us additional time to stroll around in each of our sight seeing landmarks.the lunch was superb!
Thank you for joining tour and review.
We are happy to hear that.
We hope you have a lot of memories.

Mount Fuji and its surrounding area have some stunning sites both manmade and natural. Veltra offers bus services from Tokyo to take visitors from Tokyo to explore this historic spot.
The guides are knowledgeable, professional and speak good English.
My only recommendation is, if possible, all visitors should check the weather forecast before booking so they can enjoy a clear view of the evocative Mt. Fuji.
Taiji Endo san was our tour guide who provided us (a group of 8 people) excellent service. He accommodated our requests due to plan changes and suggested some fabulous ideas to our visits in Hakone. We all enjoyed every moments and had lot of laughter and good stories from Taiji.
We highly recommend Taiji and Veltra for your next visits to Japan.

Tour guide Mary was fantastic!
Our Mt Fuji and Hakone tour was awesome. Our tour guide Toshi was outstanding. He spoke good English, was very pleasant and humorous. We enjoyed the tour. Indeed he is the best tour guide in Japan. At first Mt Fuji was too shy. Coming from a country with no snow, my daughter and I just enjoyed whatever the tour offered us, lots of snow. Then at last as we were about to leave, the beautiful Mt Fuji showed her splendore. She is indeed a beautiful sight. We are lucky indeed. I will definitely recommend this tour and give it 5 stars.
Was good tour and we were really happy and enjoyed.
We unfortunately were not able to see Mt Fuji on our tour. We instead had a wonderful tour and tasting at the Hakushu Distillary. I highly recommend!
Finished the day at the hot springs...bliss!
Though I was expecting that the sky will get more clear in the afternoon, there are unfortunately days with bad visibility. Despite what we missed, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tasting at the Hakushu wiskey disillery and hot spring.
Hopefully looking forward to seeing you in the future.
Cheers!
Tour was overall good with English speaking Guides. All the activities were good with nice handling. May be bullet train option will be better to choose as we were running quite behind the schedule due to some block on the road...
It was great to have a tour and not try to figure out the trip to mt Fuji ourselves. Breath taking views! Tour guide spoke English well just hard to understand at times due to accent. Wish we had a little more time to explore at ropeway stop. Overall great tour!
The weather was perfect, it was very clear to see the top of Mt Fuji. The guide was very talkative and informative. We really enjoyed our trip. Ninja village was very attractive.

We love all the places we went to! Our kind of tour because we love nature. It is highly recommended for families.
Nice trip , wonderful memory and nice trip group. The guide was very helpful and always try her best to provide help and support fir the group. But schedule was rushed and we always felt we out of time. Overall it was a good trip.
This tour was one of the best we’ve had. We got to see so many sites in one day. Tour was on time and the journey in the bus was made interesting and fun thanks to our knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide Levin! Oh we also got to see the magnificence of Mt Fuji because it was a clear day! What a treat!!
Thank you for joining our tour.

We could only go to the first station because of the weather. We made an extra stop at a lake since we had extra time. It was a mostly sunny day, the views of Mt Fuji were pretty good. The lunch was buffet style with plenty to chose from. The tram ride was the best part. The views from the top were fantastic. The bus ride back is boring so bring something to do.
The tour was good. Ability to see mount fuji really depends on the weather. The guide tried her best. English was good. Cost can be cheaper
We hada gret time for this trip. Especially my boy was very happy because it was the first time of seeing snow. The lunch also very nice. Too bad we only can go to2nd station due to the snow and weather. Highly recommend to return Tokyo by Shinkansen because it save much more time.
