Elie was very accommodating when I contacted him with concern about the weather. He allowed us to change our booking to a day when the weather was predicted to be better. Our guide, Lenny was the perfect one for us. He had a lot in common with members of our group and the conversation during the drive to Hakone was great! He was also a safe driver, smoothly navigating the tight, winding roads. He gave us restaurant and shopping suggestions from a local’s perspective. He gave us flexibility to choose what we wanted to do. We started the day by getting a cloudy view of Mount Fuiji. Since it was a cloudy, rainy day, we didn’t bother trying to go get a closer view: visiting a beautiful shrine/temple Lenny also took us to a traditional tea house where we tried mochi snacks and different beverages. For the final stop, we were all a bit apprehensive about going to an onsen for the first time, so he gave us an alternative. However he said that no one had ever said they regretted experiencing the onsen. We ultimately decided to try it and he was right! We didn’t regret going. The food that we ate there was delicious too, one of our daughter’s favorite meals in Japan. We were able to get some relaxation and rejuvenation after a long HOT day at Tokyo Disney Sea the day before. Our skin also felt great from the natural mineral water. Thanks for a great getaway from Tokyo, Lenny, and for the wonderful suggestions you gave us. We had an awesome time!

We had an amazing time in Hakone! Our guide, Evan, was absolutely wonderful. Even before the trip began, he prepared us with helpful information. During the trip he told us so many fascinating history and stories. He is also an excellent and safe driver. We are a family of six, including two elder members, and both Elli (the owner) and Evan carefully planned the tour with our needs in mind. They made sure everything was tailored to us so that we could experience all the sights we wanted to see without worry. At the end of the day, we were delighted to enjoy tea at a traditional tea house that is over 400 years old, run by the 14th generation of owners. It was such a special and memorable moment. My parents had always dreamed of visiting Hakone, and this tour truly turned that dream into the perfect experience. We deeply appreciate Evan’s professionalism, care, and warm company. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Cannot say enough good things about Elie and this tour. Super comfortable vehicle, very knowledgeable driver and beauty that we did not expect to see. Would absolutely do this again and take another tour with Elie! The trip to the Pola museum was also great!

We had an outstanding tour of Hakone with Elie. Although the fog prevented us from seeing Mt. Fuji, the experience was excellent from start to finish. Elie was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable, making the day both enjoyable and informative. He also went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs, ensuring that suitable food options were available throughout the tour. His flexibility and attention to detail truly enhanced the experience. Even without a view of Mt. Fuji, the tour was memorable and rewarding thanks to Elie’s expertise and thoughtful guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a visit to Hakone.
