CANCELLATION POLICY

The problem was the heavy traffic. It took us 4 hours to reach Mt Fuji (this was also caused by crazy participants, who came too late in the morning and than we had to stop for 45 minutes for toilettes). The consequence was that we could not visit the 5th level of Mt. Fuji and we could not make a pirate boat ride on the lake. This is a petty and some participants were very agressive and required their money back. But this is not a mistake of the tour organisator, even everybody received some days before a message of the traffic situation which could lead to plan changes. The tour guide and the assistant did a very good job and tried their best to show us the locations.

To begin with, I don't think the problem lies with Viator, as the company simply facilitates the purchase of our tickets from travel companies. BUT I hated this trip. Firstly, it's not the location that's lacking; Mount Fuji is beautiful and there are plenty of things to do there. The real issue is that the company offers SEVERAL activities, the main ones being the 5th station, Hakone Ropeway, and the cruise on Mount Fuji. However, we were only able to do the Hakone Ropeway (and we only got to enjoy the volcanoes for 15 minutes) before the guide informed us that we had missed the last pirate ship on the lake. The guide and the company were aware that on that day, everyone would be out. Instead of suggesting an earlier departure or ensuring that we didn't waste any time (for example, spending an hour at a service station), the guide kept announcing throughout the day, as if it were normal, that all activities were cancelled (without even mentioning a refund). He made it clear that since he was taking us elsewhere, there would be no reimbursement: As if 15 minutes spent on the shores of the lake could replace a 30-minute boat cruise. (I remind you that we paid 120 euros per person). I won't even mention the guide who deliberately tried to turn all the other travelers against us because we contacted his agency for a refund. (By the way, he succeeded quite well because despite the fact that the travelers were of a certain age, implying a certain level of intelligence, they all insulted us, one even saying, "Go drown in the lake, you and your father."). In short, this day was catastrophic. The guide clearly lacks the organizational skills he should have, and the price is way too high for the few activities we could actually do. At this price, I would strongly advise you to take a flight to Seoul and spend a weekend there instead.

Unfortunately we had heavy rain and all our views were covered with rain clouds. Mt Fuji is only visible 40% of the year. We enjoyed the locations we visited and our lunch supplied. The tour guide made all attempts to keep the tour group entertained.

Viewing Mr Fuji but unable to do skyrope &
pirate ship due to bad weather. Very disappointing as the alternatives were very boring & I don’t think the majority enjoyed.

We had a very clear view of Mt Fuji. We also got to see many cherry blossoms.

We booked this trip hoping to catch a glimpse of Mt Fuji and experience travelling on the bullet train. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we didn’t get to see the mountain. Enjoyed the trip however, did think the pirate ship across the lake was a little ‘cheesy’ felt we could have done something else instead. Despite the weather we did enjoy the tour. We chose to return to Tokyo by bullet train which was an awesome experience.

Great tour, our guide was excellent and have us lots of information on what to expect. We were less mobile due to me being pregnant so this was a great way to see everything. The coach was comfortable and the stops were great. Would recommend if you get a nice day
