VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Need better english speaking guides .Harry was fantastic. Time for various event was tight. Food in Ninja was amazing .

A good long day!

One very long day for us! The travel time from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji is much longer on weekends due to the traffic (so I suggest going on weekdays?). But since it's our first time to see Mt. Fuji up close, we enjoyed it - I guess, 30 minutes seems a little too short for everything that you may want to do there. We haven't got the chance to do the activities in Hakone *No idea how it is there* but, the alternative activities in Lake Kawaguchi (cruise and ropeway) turned out just fine. The meal is not that good, maybe because we had it late and it was prepared long before we arrived - again, because of the traffic. It's very nice that the tour guide is so kind, she really tried to communicate and do favors for guests as much as she could. Overall it was good.

Disappointing Day

The tour provider didn't foresee the traffic (we were on the road for almost 4 hours) which caused a domino-effect. We arrived in Mt. Fuji 5th Station at around 13:00. The view of Mt. Fuji made up for the long trip, but another cause of delay was some tourists who didn't return to the bus on time. We had late lunch at around 15:00, so that was not cool. It also resulted to change of schedule -- we weren't able to cruise at Lake Ashi and go on a cable car ride at Mt. Komagatake Ropeway. Instead, went on a cruise and ropeway at Kawaguchiko. After that, we went to Hakone-en Park but it was already dark, so we just had a quick stop (restroom break) then proceeded to the shinkansen station. I was disappointed, but at least we had a very nice tour guide who tried her best to appease us with her jokes and trivia. Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo was a fitting way to end a tiring day.

The tour was fun but was a little disappointed with the lunch. On our previous tour with you last year, it was a buffet lunch.

An excellent tour, interesting and highly recommended!

Everything is excellent. We are very well taken care of! Totally recommend this tour

Great tour, lunch was good. Shinkansen was the highlight. Our tour guide was very entertaining.

Mount Fuji tour

As previews experience in countries I had visited, tour guides always tell us to come back on time or else you will be left behind. Time is so short, 20 minutes, that after visiting the toilet, half of it is gone thus enjoying the view is improbable.
The good part was professionalism of our guide, able to impart the basic aspect about the culture and history. The bus driver was good as well, he keep us safe.

We had a fantastic day. Our travel guide was very knowledgeable & informative. I was a long & very fun day & I thought it was very good value. The highlight for me was the Shinkansen!

Well organised tour but it really depends on your luck when visiting!

Best tour

Mt fuji

It was a great experience. Just disappointed with price of stuff.

our tour guide (eriko) is very informational and entertaining. good job!

The tour was on a tight schedule so it felt a bit rushed. But, it was a good tour nonetheless. Keiko, our tour guide was accommodating and did her best. The Shinkansen was a blast!!!

Hiro did a great job!

Awesome Day Trip to Mount Fuji

Absolutely loved the tour to Mount Fuji and Hokone sightseeing. It was very well organised and managed. Tour included going up to Mount Fuji's 4th viewing station (5th closed due to snow), cruise on Lake Ashi followed by spectacular views atop Mount Komagatake. Its a great way to meet fellow travelers as well as get out of Tokyo for a day. Would like to thank the organisers, coach driver and especially our guide Hiro, who was very helpful, insightful and who spoke excellent English. Highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide reiko was very entertaining and we enjoyed the whole trip.

Due to the heavy snow, we were only able to reach station 1. And due to strong winds, our trip to Hakone was cancelled. But our guide, Noriko, made our tour enjoyable. We were taken to a cruise of an alternate lake and took a cable ride to a viewing area of Mt Fuji. I've been on tours around the world and I can honestly say that Noriko is one of the best tour guides out there. She keep us engaged throughout the tour giving us lessons in Japanese history and culture. We even learned how to make an origami of Mt Fuji!

Great tour

Great Experience

We had the Mt Fuji and Hakone tour and return via Shinkansen. Our guide Ms Yoko was very knowledgeable and was able to exceed our expectations.
The tour was managed very well and promptly.

mount fuji hakone tour

Tour guide is very friendly and speaks english. Everything is nice only disappointment is reach up to station 4 at mount fuji but no snow. Otherwise would recommend others to join

the tour was great and the lunch as well. its a must experience here in Japan

We had an excellent day tour to Mt Fuji and Hakone. Our tour guide Yoko San was informative and interesting and our skilled bus driver made the journey very smooth. It was a full day but felt very well paced. Everything ran on time and we saw so much - beautiful scenery and perfect conditions for viewing My Fuji and surrounds. We would highly recommend this tour.

Tour Guide is great

Touch and go!

Tour was well organised but our stop points could have been much longer. The stop at Mt Hakone was very short especially for those who took the later gondola. By the time we reached the top, we had only barely 10 minutes to explore before the next scheduled gondola, as the bus will be leaving by then. It will also be good to cater halal lunch instead of vegetarian lunch for Muslim tourists. Thanks!

Tour guide was really animated and helpful.

Awesome experience and what an awesome guide we had (Mayumi). The tour was smooth from bus transfer to Mt Fuji etc till we rode back to our hotel via Shinkansen. Won't hesitate to book any tour someday with City Discovery.

Mt. Fuji and Hakone tour is great experience in Japan. Super enjoy. The tour guide is knowledgeable to her job interesting no dull moment when we're the way to mt. fuji. The food is too simple but its ok, but the nature that you see can full your eyes wow!!! superb!!!!. Make it sure you bring along your powerbank so you will not miss all the pictures and videos that you want. The only think that we do not want in all our tour is the service way back to our hotel... We are all tired for the whole day tour but we have to go back on our own to our hotel... Should you have a pick up and transfer back to hotel for the comfort of the guest? its a suggestion. The food and transpo is much expensive than other countries. Tokyo Station is much complicated thou there are signages...But overall thanks to City Discovery..we really enjoy the tour...

Mt Fuji-a must

Loved the tour and the way it was organized. The guide was wonderful and kept us entertained all through out. The lunch was great, and finally the breathtaking views of Mt fuji. We couldnt make it to the 5th station because of the snowfall a few days back, but it didnt dampen the tour at all.

Mount Fuji Tour and Hakone Sightseeing- GOOD tour

The tour is good. We have Aikko as our tour guide, and she was very pleasant and informative. The total experience was excellent. But the time to do things is limited. We had only 45 minutes to explore Mt. Fuji & less than an hour for lunch.
Overall the tour is good, the weather is good, the variety of traditional Japanese lunch is good. I will be going to Mount Fuji again in winter, hope we can spent more time there.
