A great day filled with a variety of amazing sights and experiences even though Mt Fuji was a little shy.

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! 🇯🇵❤️

Great tour, the best tour we had in Japan. The best part was our tour guide James, they don't call him "the yellow flash" for nothing. He was engaging, funny, and actually shares some great tips for out Japan trip.

Serina provided a great experience from beginning to end. we did the classic route, which is unique to the tour and we started off in Hakone and progressed towards the shrine and pirate ship. Then we made our way to Arakurayama Sengen Park. The views were stunning there. Highly recommend Serina (tour guide) and the tour!

Satori was an excellent driver and guide. He kept us on schedule and provided picture updates along the way. He made sure the day was extra special by ensuring we had photo memories as a group. When the lines were long at our stops, he was patient with us. When we were done early at a stop, he kept the tour moving. Very pleasant and stress free experience.

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.
