Despite the bad weather and rain ☔️, the experience was good and relaxing. We weren't able to enjoy everything the boat offered, but I still recommend it. I presented the voucher, and it took a little while because they weren't fully equipped, but everything went smoothly in the end.

The tour was excellent. The day was perfect; we did everything. Our driver was really nice. Our tour guide, Peter, was excellent. He spoke very well English and very knowledgeable, he provided all the necessary details for this trip. This is highly recommended. Also, don't forget the bullet train; you have to experience it. The gondola and the pirate boat were great. Everything was perfect. The ride was smooth from Tokyo to Mount Fuji. It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop anything. We still did everything we planned. It was a great experience. Thank you Peter.

Absolutely loved this tour! 🇯🇵✨ This was my first ever overseas trip, so I was a little nervous about travelling somewhere completely new. Booking this guided tour was one of the best decisions I made, it turned out to be such a wonderful experience. Our guide, Erik, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing so much interesting information about the places we visited and the history of the area. He was also approachable which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. Seeing Mount Fuji, exploring Hakone, experiencing the pirate ship on Lake Ashi, Owakudani and Oshino Hakkai made for such a memorable day. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was amazing to experience so much in one day. A huge thank you to Erik for making my first overseas tour such a positive and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time visiting Japan! 🇯🇵❤️

We had a wonderful experience with our tour to Hakone, Lake Ashi, and Enoshima. Our guide, Antong, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and organized from start to finish. She communicated clearly throughout the day, kept everyone on schedule, and made sure we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. She also shared helpful tips and interesting information that made the experience even more enjoyable. The only caveat was that we didn’t get to see Mt. Fuji, but What really stood out, though, was Antong’s kindness and professionalism. At our last stop, my daughter got lost and ended up running late, and Antong patiently waited for us and made sure we were all safely back before departing. We truly appreciated her care and understanding. Thank you to Antong and the bus company for a smooth, well-organized tour. We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan!
