A great and informative tour of Thai fascinating area - I only had 5 hours to explore the area and the tour was perfect for me. The guide (Taku) was superb and showed me everything I wanted to see. Even the view of Fuji was stunning! A perfect tour!

Navigate the Hakone Loop with ease with Hina! - Hina helped us navigate long lines as we did the Hakone Loop in one day. She communicated well with us via WhatsApp so we knew when and where to meet her at all times. She knew the best places to take photos and and also where to buy local art. We highly recommend this guided tour with Hina!!

We moved through the Hakone Loop easily with Hina! - We chose to do a private tour as we only had one full day in Hakone and read about the long lines along the Hakone loop. We are very glad we did this as our guide Hina knew all the best ways to get us through so even though it was a high traffic time, we made it through all the main sites in one day. Hina had excellent communication - she was very responsive by text and helped us each step of the way knowing where to get ticket upgrades and which lines to stand in. When we did have to wait in line, she was able to share information about the site and answer our questions. She knew all the places to take great photos and sent us beautiful photos she had taken of us with her camera. And she knew where to find local artwork at the gift shops. Thank you Hina for making our brief time in Hakone maximally enjoyable!

Awful tour of Hakone. Choose a different tour company. - Awful tour of Hakone. The local tour company used by Viator was absolutely unaccommodating. The weather on the day of the tour was so poor with heavy winds, pouring rain and zero visibility. It was so terrible that the boat portion of the tour was cancelled by Hakone. But the local tour company refused to cancel and refused to offer any portion of a refund. And disappointingly, Viator failed to support us in our request. Very disappointing. The local tour operator (sub contractor) was YURAGI travels and I would sincerely say that they do not support clients in any way and are only interested in a money grab. Very sad. Very unprofessional !
