We just came back from Mt. Fuji tour and somehow felt disappointed that we did not get to see the mountain due to foggy weather. However, we still had a good time taking the sky gondola and cruise on Lake Ashi. Our tour guide had been very informative, I would recommend people to do this tour, but not if the weather is foggy/rainy.

A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.

One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.

It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

Being our first time to Japan, we obviously had to say hello to Fuji-san. Signed up via Veltra with Japan Panoramic Tour Agency. We were kinda anxious as it was also our first experience signing up with an online provider (sight-unseen) and we weren't sure what to expect. Our fears were unrealised, thankfully!

We were met at the designated pick-up point in Shinjuku and started our journey to Mount Fuji in a comfy bus. Along the way, we had opportunities to admire the vastness of Lake Kawaguchi, enjoy yummy blueberry ice-cream, collect cool spring water in Oshino Hakkai, and have filling lunch in a Ninja Village before getting in some fun being 'ninja-like'. We even had a cool photo shot with a ninja!

At the 5th station stop, Mount Fuji left us breathless and awed. We were so blessed to catch sight of it before it did a 'vanishing' trick in the mist! The fabulous 4D experience with Fuji Airways gave us wonderful sights of Fuji-san, which we otherwise would not have had.

Although it seemed a bit rushed at times, on the whole this was a day trip well worth the time and expense. For sure, we had a great day up the mountain!

You can get to see Mount Fuji most part of the tour. The tour guide Jack was very informative and helpful.

The view of Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi was awesome. I recommend having the blueberry ice creams they sell there. It was very yummy.

The 8 ponds around Mt Fuji at Oshino had crystal clear water and it was very beautiful. From there we proceeded to the Ninja village where we had a good buffet lunch and played some Ninja games. We tried throwing some Ninja star shaped weapons on targets, went in to the maze and got lost several times. Took some cool pics with the Ninjas. From there we went to Fuji Q Highland and I must say that this was one of the highlights of the tour. The 4D show was AWSOME and I wish I experience that again. You get to fly over Mt Fuji and see it in different seasons.

Overall the tour was very good and good value for money

It was very amazing and beautiful Japan is! I admire the Japanese people about there culture and mostly there attitude, generally they are nice and patient people....I didnt experienced any discrimination where ever we went, Tokyo is really a nice place to come visit...so peaceful and clean...I also recommend our tour guide yulie who is very knowledgeable about the place and very accommodating, Im sure i want to come back soon and book my trip to your company again. Thank you and more power.

This tour was alright. The sights we were brought to were good and entertaining. Although the time allocated for each stop was not even close to being enough...the tsukiji fish market was excellent and the food was great and at the same time affordable. The buffet was not exeptional considering the price that was paid for it. Overall it is a tour that all first timers in tokyo must do. But really it was the tour assistant LEVIN that made the tour interesting. Thank you to LEVIN

I booked the tour one day before and was happy that I did it for myself and 2 cousins. The trip turn up to be good except that we can't see the whole view of Mount Fuji due to weather. The trip end with a good bonus to see a 4 D show about Mount Fuji. Good experience, recommend Day your.

Great trip to Mt Fugi. We're fortunate with good weather had great view of the mts and scenery. The little towns were cute, would have been nice to have more time to walk around but a very full day. The fresh spring water was really cold and refreshing.
Mario was very informative tour guide. Had hands on experience climbing Mt fugi, able to give first hand account about climbing Mt fugi. Thanks for the experience.

It was an amazing tour! Mario and Abe-san (our driver) were amazing! Thank you so much for thia wonderful tour. It was so much fun. It was even better because the weather was so great. We were able to see Mt. Fuji clearly! I highly recommend this tour! Lunch was yummy, too!

Was a great tour, good weather allowed to see the scenery and mt Fugi well. The fresh spring water in Oshino was cold and refreshing. Mario was a great tour guide, was able to share first hand experience about climbing Mt Fugi. If only I had more time I would come back to climb trail. But fortunately the clouds broke so was able to get pictures of the summit. The Fugi simulation was nice allowed to see and experience the different seasons on the mt. Would have been nice to have a little more time at sites but with full day saw alot. Thanks!!

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.

We are using Veltra tours for several years across different continents and countries. All tours are of very high quality and very good value for money. This tour in Tokyo was not an exception.
First of all: itinerary is very well developed. Between each stops bus passing very interesting places. During the whole tour you are keep looking around. Worth mentioning that tour guide Mario speaking fluent English, very knowlegeable and friendly. Bus was very comfortable, good working Fi Wi. Buffet lunch included in the tour was of very high quality, very tasty with big options of meals from different origins.
Tokyo bay is a must see. Spectacular views of Tokyo harbour from the cruise boat.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

no problem but cloudy so no possiblility to view Mount Fuji. So a bit disappointed

It worths every penny. Do not miss it. Great tour. Great staff. I came from Saudi Arabia and I am glad that I went on this tour.

Although it took almost double time to get to the first destination because the day we attended tour was just before holiday and everyone went their hometown, the guide Hiroshi-san was entertaining us and taught us many aspects of Japan!
That was shame that at some destination we had only a half of normal time, so we had to rush seeing the places, but that's due to the traffic jam and couldn't be helped.
Thanks to guide's tip, we were able to get a good blueberry ice cream!

A good tour with a good value. They cover a lot in a day.
The tour guide provided directions tobus at the end of the tour to returnto to our destination, very helpful

Really great tour. We got picked up on time from a hotel near to where we were staying which was very handy and well organised. Our guide, Levin, had perfect English, was very helpful and informative and made the tour extremely enjoyable. There were plenty of break stops along the way and the bus was very comfortable. Due to unforeseen traffic our itinerary changed however this was handled really well and we still got to make each stop as planned. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but Levin still made each stop fun and interesting. The lunch provided was excellent food and we got to experience the traditional Japanese culture. We didn't have much expectations for the 4D experience but it was actually brilliant and we really enjoyed it. Overall it was a really great trip and we would highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of doing the Mount Fuji tour.

Long day on bus from Tokyo. Mt Fugi socked in with fog so unable to see any of it. Guide was pretty good but sometimes hard to understand. She had a full bus and the 3 hrs to try to keep people interested. Gondola and boat ride were fun but also fog prevented much views. Ride back on bullet train was fun. Lunch was mediocre.

We enjoyed the whole tour and the food.

Booked this tour in the hope to see Mt. Fuji. Every destination point you visit will have advantage points to see Mt.Fuji. The only thing you need is good weather and clear visibility! This sadly isn't guaranteed but what you can expect is a great tour Leader, smooth bus journey to and from each destination and a fun day out. Our tour Leader Levin was really funny and charming. He told us information about Mt.Fuji, Japanese culture and the language. Definitely made the trip!

We, a group of 7 adults, chose the tour having browsed the internet. The review was good and what we experienced was great! Taiji san is knowledgable, helpful and very accomodative. He picked up us at the hotel on time. We discussed and agreed the itinerary, modified one. We added Nenba and Halal Ramen Tokyo to end the day.
Taiji san is a skillful driver. Driving 10 seater Toyota Hiace he skillfully manouvered in very narrow Tokyo streets when we tried to locate Halal Ramen. Taiji san even attended our exhibition the next day. For us, Taiji san is beyond a tour guide, he is our new friend in Japan.
Arigatou gozaimasu Taiji san!

We were picked up at our hotel at the exact time as mentioned. 1st, we went to the Fujisan heritage center, and on the way our tour guide explained us everything! History, roads, emperors and my favorite THE LAST SAMURAI :) 2nd part of our day was the yummy yakiniku lunch and 3rd we went to Gotemba Premium Outlet! (shopped til we dropped haha). It was supposed to be the last part of our tour but our guide (Taiji) was kind enough to drive us around tokyo and the busy streets of Ginza! What a bonus!

P.S: car ride was about 1 hr and 30 min :)

It was a a long but awesome activity! We really enjoyed the sights in Mt Fuji! Great experience!

Guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We found anew friend in Japan!

It's mostly cloudy in Tokyo during the month of June. It was sunny and hot when we went on the bus ride. The whole experience was great except the sun shining excessively on us. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and bring something to keep you covered from the sun.

My girlfriend and I were very happy about the tour of Mt. Fuji, which also took us to a beautiful lake, a ninja village and another nice little village where we could fill our bottles with natural Mt. Fuji water. We booked a tour, because it seemed a hassle getting to the mountain ourselves. Luckily for us we found this company. The guides spoke english and were very friendly. The bus ride was comfortable. We were lucky that the weather was clear and sunny. We don't regret a thing booking from this company.

This was 100% worth more than the cost, you see loads of different views and stores, great time to get all your souvenirs as i was struggling to find any good ones in the 5 days i have been here.
Theres loads of different stops at landmarks where you can get all sorts of different food, ice cream (blueberry!!) which is very nice. The ninja village and the 4d experience was the highlight of me and my friends trip, the food was a buffet of all sorts of food which as very nice and can eat till your belly pops and then we ent to the ninja garden to do ninja activities where you can participate in; trick room which is like an indoor puzzle, ninja training (forgot the name) where you either use bow and arrow, blowdart or shurikens to hit wooden targets, or a ninja obstacle course. btw it costs 400-500 yen to participate and i only know if you win a price for the training event.

we participated in throwing real shurikens and won plastic ninja shurikens (which is the lowest score) but you can win all sorts of different prizes depending on your score.
Also the 4d experience literally blew our minds because we didnt think highly of it but i dont ant to say too much because it will take from the experience but it was a very good day out, the best so far in the time that i have been here.

ps the guide and driver are very friendly

Taiji was our tour guide on this trip just this March 2017. He brought us to a temple, the lake with Mt. Fuji view and Gotemba shopping area. All with considerations on our end. He was very friendly and accommodating, answered questions about the trip.
We had lunch with him and he shared stories with us. He also asked questions about us and he also took our pictures.

He even offered to wait for our shopping time and when we're about to get off, he asked if we have plans for the next day because he's willing to give a city tour. However we do have planned itinerary already so we just thanked him.

He also helped me find my purse which I lost on that day. Sadly, we weren't able to retrieve it.

I recommend him as a very friendlya nd helpful tour guide. He speaks english well and can converse naturally.
