“Elie was a phenomenal guide! He was very knowledgeable about Tokyo, Hakone, Japanese culture, and also just generally a joy to be around. He proactively contacted me the day before the tour to let me know that due to weather, we’d be unlikely to see Mt Fuji, and offered alternative activities or to cancel. Having previously read all of the positive reviews, I decided to go ahead with the tour and am glad I did! We had a great day visiting the Hakone Open Air museum and a local onsen.

“Bill was our tour guide and he was incredible! He has a PhD in Archeology and grew up in Ephesus - he was an absolute wizard with so much information and also such interesting color commentary throughout our tour. We had a great meal and very comfortable car service for the trip. We didnt mind that there were 'salesy' pitches at the market and carpet co-op but I realize that might not be for everyone. We enjoyed the experience and learning more about the culture and country. We did not do the Turkish bath.”
