Great Day in Hakone - This was a great way to visit Hakone and see the sights if you are not planning on staying there for several days. Abdul, our driver, picked us up on time at our hotel...in fact, he was early! We made our way to the shrine and walked around a bit. Since we were there during the New Year's Holiday, there were many people in line to get an up-close view of the shrine. There were many vendors there selling all kinds of food and souvenirs. We then left for Lake Ashi where we boarded the pirate ship. The ship had plenty of snacks and beverages available for purchase. We opted to sit in the first class section to have a bit more space. We had excellent views of Mt. Fuji while we were on the ship. We then rode the Hakone Ropeway to the upper level. We did eat the black eggs along with many of the other visitors. We were told it would add seven years to our lives if we ate one. Abdul then took us to the Hakone Open-Air Museum. This was, by far, my favorite part of the day. The grounds of the museum are incredible! There are sculptures everywhere! You could easily spend the day here. We were there for just over an hour. There is also a Picasso exhibit that has more than 300 original pieces. We then went to the Gotemba Premium Outlets. This was the low point of the tour. Since it was the New Year's Holiday, cars could not move along the street, the parking lot, or the parking garages. We left Abdul in the car and walked about 1 km to get to the mall. Once we were there, there were so many people. We met back with Abdul, after a quick visit to the outlets, and he drove us back to Tokyo.

Nice Kawaguchiko Trip - The driver, Sean, was accomodating to what we wanted to do, and gave some good info on the places we passed by. The car was also clean, big and comfortable. Overall an enjoyable trip for my family!

Highly recommended - Maz is a very experienced and knowledgeable driver, very helpful und supportive to get the maximum out of this trip. The trip is not cheap, but having your own car (instead of a large group in a bus) and a private travel guide with you is worth the investment. This trip is unforgettable! Highly recommended!

Hakone and Mt. Fuji Day Trip with Private Vehicle - Waseem was an exceptional guide for our Hakone and Mt. Fuji tour! His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories and historical insights throughout the trip. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi. Waseem made sure we had the best vantage points and took plenty of photos for us. He was also very accommodating and patient, answering all our questions and making sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend Waseem to anyone visiting Hakone and Mt. Fuji.

A great way to get out and see beyond Tokyo - Our driver, Waseem was great. He was punctual, very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. We did not see Fuji because of cloud cover, but it was a delightful day!

Amazing! - I recently joined the Hakone Mt. Fuji tour with Waseem, and it was an incredible experience! The tour was impeccably organized, making it easy to enjoy the stunning sights without any stress. Waseem was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly accommodating, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. From breathtaking views to insightful commentary, every moment was memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Hakone and Mt. Fuji! Also, The Hakone Sightseeing cruise is superb!

Museum Ope air FABULOUS - The driver was very punctual, He spoke English and was very kind. The , a super clean minivan, was at our complete disposal. The trip to the temple did not exalt us, the boat trip on the lake pleasant even if a bit ‘of tourists but with a beautiful day as we took us really unforgettable. The section with the quick and pleasant cable car leads to the pond for us rather negligible. Incredible wonderful unforgettable the Hakone Museum Open Air, worth the whole day. Not to be missed. An entire pavilion dedicated to Picasso but the natural setting makes the space really special. Highly recommended (the other museum we did not visit)

Frustrating - The trip started right on time. Google maps said 2:15 to hakone. After an hour our driver went off the Expressway onto city streets of Yokohama. We went back towards Tokyo? End result 4:30 to get to hakone. Made the day stressful and unenjoyable.

MT FUJI NOT VISIBLE AT ALL - First, I want to say that our tour guide did his best, but I don't think Viator gave us an accurate description of the tour. In addition, we had specifically selected an English speaking guide, because we wanted to know more about it where we were going and the history behind it. But our guide barely spoke English. It was hard to understand how long we could spend on the boat, which stops in multiple locations. I also chose this tour because it says Hakone and Mt. Fuji, but Mt. Fuji isn't visible at all on this tour!!!! I was pretty upset about this. It's 90% of the reason I booked this tour. And to add insult to injury, there's a picture of where you can see Mt. Fuji on the gondola, but it's not actually visible anywhere on the trip.
