5.00Today we had a Hakone tour. Akon was very professional and fantastic driver. He customized the day according to our needs. Travelled with a small kid and 73 year old, with mobility scooter. He was very knowledgeable and made our excursion memorable and interesting!
Calming, informative, spiritual

5.00I appreciate Rudy’s company, knowledge and flexibility. The off the road paths recommended were great! The only down side was the crowds at Hakone ropeway and the number of tourists in general at the time we were there.

5.00Ali was our guide and he provided with a fantastic day. If I could give him 10 stars I would. He was so knowledgeable and concerned to ensure we made the most out of the various sites. He was by far the best private driver we have had
Our wonderful tour!

5.00Our driver Ali was amazing. He shared information with us about each stop we were making and toured the area with us. His knowledge of the city was amazing and was able to answer any questions we had. As we are elderly, he was very attentive to us. All in all, it was a wonderful day!
Fantastic tour with so many great sites to visit

5.00We had one day Tokyo tour with Akon and he was so funny that we also deceided to have one more tour to Hakone, because Mount Fuji was so cloudy. The itinerary itself and the weather was nice for walking. We enjoyed from the nature and sculptures at Hakone open air museum and Heiwa no Torii. Recommended

5.00We had a great day trip from Tokyo to Hakone with Ken! Mt Fuji was not shy, we were lucky enough to see her on our first stop at Mishima Skywalk. We were able to customise the day to suit our interests. The Sengokuhara Pampas grass fields was an unexpected bonus for a little walk after a delicious authentic Japanese meal. The views from the Hakone ropeway were amazing! Thanks Ken!
Better value than you think! Take the hassle out

5.00We would have never got to see half of what we saw on this experience and when we did the maths, it was worth it. Especially when you add door to door service, very comfortable transportation and a fabulous guide/ driver Thank you Sam, you made our day! Highly recommended
