Hello Veltra,
Just wanted to share the great experience I had on the Mt Fuji Tour package with Jojo. This tour was my second time in six years and lived up to expectations each time. I especially want thank Jojo who was very professional, personable and courteous. The trip to Mt Fuji was terrific but, especially terrific because of Jojo’s effervescence as Japanese cultural background Ambassador and delivered it with humor and kindness,
Thank you all for an amazing day!

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!

I booked the tour with buffet lunch. The food was sooo good, lots of meat~ I love it! Eventhough the weather was not so nice in shirakawago, but we could enjoy to the fullest. I was hoping for the snow, but it was raining instead. I also love the hida beef. Overall, its a great tour. The schedule was in time and Still got enough time to explore everything. We’ve accomplished our mission to discover Takayama and Shirakawago in a perfect way. Thank You ^^

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.

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.

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!

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).

The tour was very well organized and us, tourists had an easy time going to the meeting point due to very good instructions with map.
The sites were very impressive and beautiful.
Our English tour guide, assistant and driver were all very helpful and always had a ready smile. Special shout out to our main tour guide who spoke very good English, was very funny and cheerful.
The itinerary was very well planned giving us enough time to tour the place.
I would have wanted more time at the Toki outlet.
The lunch was not very good. I would have preferred a local restaurant with authentic Hida beef.

Wonderful tour made even more fun by our cheerful tourguide who spoke good English and was quite funny.
Good job Veltra. Again for making it hassle free for us tourists.
Shirakawa go and Takayama were very interesting esp. Shirakawa go.
Be prepared for very cold weather in Autumn.
Lunch , though was not that good. I would have preferred a local place with Hida beef.
Even then, the tour was excellent.

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

Awesome day tour lead by a very knowledgeable and funny tour guide Kana-san!
We were a little unlucky with the weather however Mt Fuji was visible for a very limited time throughout the day. Would highly recommend for anyone with limited time in Tokyo as a must see!
Lake Ashi cruise was also beautiful and gave us another brief view of Mt Fuji as the clouds parted.

Outstanding from beginning to end.
The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and spoke IMPECCABLE English.
There was heavier than usual traffic and the guide kept us updated on ETA and impact on schedule.
All the activities were excellent, including the substituted activities that were neceisstated due to closures of part of the original activity (due to volcanic activity).

The guide was terrific - friendly and knowledgeable. She kept the group engaged and interested. It's a shame that Mt Fuji was shy and hiding from the tourists but that's no fault of Veltra. We had a wonderful time on Fuji and the rest of the tour anyway.

We had not anticipated just how difficult it would be to get around Tokyo. This day trip gave us the opportunity to relax in a comfortable bus, and see the beautiful sights. We would most definitely do this tour again.

This tour is spent mainly on the bus. The stops are not more than 30 mins. The lunch place was awful with no atmosphere. Due to mist the cable car and boat trip was a waste of time.

Unfortunately the traffic heading to My Fuji was very bad which meant the rest of the day was a crush to keep the schedule. Weather was also against us. My Fuji and the cable car was a white out.

Skipped the trip of Owakudani .. my parents from India visited japan and they were very interested of Owakudani, but it was skipped and disappointed a lot. I had used same package trip myself and find satisfaction, but this experience with veltra was very poor and I doesn’t recommend or use it again

Tour was not well organized. We were scheduled to be picked up at Royal Park hotel, then bus didn’t come there. One tour staff member came and got cabs for us to go to the other hotel where the bus parked there. The tour guide lady told us that tour was full that day and there were only 3 seats left for us but not together! Why they couldn’t assign seat number? Some activities were canceled.

Japanese punctuality and attention to detail, all in a very simple and unassuming way. Great experience and very well paced and organized.
We were an eclectic crowd and the guide was even discreet enough to just act surprised when somebody asked her why Japanese “Fuji” water was exported to the United States and never drank by the japanese. I think she confused Fiji water with the water from Mount Fuji. Oh lord!...The guide was marvelous and discrete by saying she did not know....

The entire tour was rushed not sure why as we couldn't do the ropeway, so you would think we would have had extra time. They added a box to the website showing that it was closed after my group had already booked the tour. We took a cruise through the fog, and it was not on the cool pirate boat described and pictured. The cruise was a waste as well because you couldn't see anything. We also went to the museum which is supposed to provide a great view of Fuji but again we couldn't see anything.

We only had one full day in Japan on our way home to Australia so we decided to take a tour out to the iconic Mt Fuji. We were picked up right on schedule from our hotel and spent about half an hour collecting other people from various locations before heading out to Mt Fuji. Our guide entertained us along the way with some history and personal anecdotes and even a little sing-along in Japanese. The weather favoured us too, the day being clear and sunny, so we were able to see the peak. The only downside was the cold wind. I was wishing for earmuffs! The cable car ride was cancelled due to the wind but we were able to see a lovely peace park instead. We could have returned to Tokyo on the bus, but we opted for the Bullet train instead. Our guide made all that easy. The experience of seeing those fantastic trains whooshing through the station while we waited for ours was amazing in itself. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

The tour was good. I enjoyed.
I like that during the bus the guide was talking about some interesting things about Japan.
During the Cruise in Lake Ashi, you only can see Mt. Fuji almost when you have to leave de ship. I think this is not a good lake, a better one its the lake next to the Ashi Lake.
The lunch was very tasty but too small. I could eat more.
They have no pick up and drop off service from Asakusa area.
The tour was OK.
