Zoe, our tour guide, conducted a outstanding tour of numerous sites and experiences outside Tokyo. Her explanations of each site was very clear and easy to understand. Also she made every effort that everyone was comfortable with 10 plus hour tour. A day well spent that included cable car, boat trip and a return on Bullet Train.
Very organized, tour guide was helpful and informative. The bus was comfortable, great value for your money
This is a nice way to spend the day in the Hakone area. Would advise to start with the boat trip first then rope way, funicular and train. Opposite of most people.
The tour guide was great. She gave us a lot of information and was entertaining. The tour itself was lacking excitement. It was just a short cruise on a lake, cable car ride with very limited views (windows were a bit scuffed and hard to see through) , stop at the place for black eggs then a very long stop at some shopping area which is targeted to western tourists. I don’t recommend this unless you enjoy shopping.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our tour guide and her commentary. We also appreciate your comments regarding the tour itinerary and the limited views at some stops. Your feedback will help us improve the experience and better manage expectations for future guests.
Brilliant trip. Excellent guide. The highlight was the cruise on the lake (Mount Fuji covered bu clouds but can't do much about that). Would do this again definitely.
They should know what tour company they use and have the reference number ready they should also be early in the meet up as it is not that organised
Thus was a nice one day tour to Hakone and the ropeway to view Mount Fuji. We did get a glimpse of the magestic Mt. Fuji. The guide was excellent.
The tour was great and everything in the itinerary was accomolished. I just wish there is a signbord or someone carrying a sign at the meeting point about which bus to go to coz a lot of us where quite confused and had to ask every single bus driver or rep if it was our bus.
The operator did not show up and trip did not happen. It costed me money and wasted my day. Viator is not very forthcoming in case of refund. The customer service though reachable all the time, get you in the loop of asking from operator and then keep you waiting. I'm now waiting to get my money back. I can only hope that they refund the money
We spent our last full day in Japan on this Hakone Day Tour and it may have been the highlight of the trip! The cruise on Lake Ashi was very scenic and enjoyable. Then, visiting the volcano via the cable car was so cool! The view was amazing and afterwards we were able to get black ramen and it was delicious. The tour concluded with a trip to a mall where you could either go shopping or go to a hot spring. Since I have many tattoos, my wife and I booked a private room for an hour and it was great! Very affordable and the outdoor view was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour!
