Mt Fuji and surroundings in a day with a good guide
Pleasant experience with our Mt Fuji and lake Kawaguchiko trip today. We were able to cover most of the attractions within the day. Although we could get to only the first stage of Mt Fuji due to inclement weather, we made the most of the opportunity covering other attractions. Our driver Mr Shah was very courteous and helpful. He was proactive in letting us know about the pick up time and was always keeping us on time through the day. He explained the key attraction highlights patiently and with a smile. He even volunteered to be our family photographer and clicked good pics 😀 Highly recommended !!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko trip, even with the weather challenges. We’re especially happy that Mr. Shah could make your day smooth, informative, and memorable — from keeping you on time to capturing your family photos. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again on another adventure in Japan! 🌸

Worse trip we have ever had, and we travel a lot. Terrible driver
. I would suggest that no one uses this company. Our driver didn’t speak English, or it was so poor he couldn’t understand us. I asked if he could tell me a little about the places we asked several times and he responded by showing us the place on a map. Then asked to speak to the owner and after 15 minutes of mucking around we got through to somebody. I asked him if we could change drivers or book for another day as it was really important to us that we had a driver that could show us the sites of Tokyo and explain to us about the culture of the city. He said he would have to speak to the owner and I gave him my number but the owner never bothered to ring us back. Meanwhile our driver would just drop us off on a road and point to where we were supposed to go so a couple of times we got lost. The final straw was when we walked around the imperial Palace and came out at the wrong entrance a little further down the road. We rang him and asked if he could pick us up at the palace hotel, we rang twice in a half an hour. And he still didn’t turn up. We ended up getting a Japanese man to ring him to arrange pick up. He then gave us a mouthful, which we couldn’t understand, so we finished the tour early, couldn’t stand him anymore.
Response from the operator: Thanks for choosing our tours.We are very sorry for your inconvenience experience.If you have any feedback or need future assistance, please let us know. We appreciate your support. Best Regards.

Fun time in Japan
My husband and I visited Japan on my vacation, we decided to do a tour with Viator as always wherever we go. Our tour guide picked us up from our hotel, his name is Ishii, he took and showed us all the destinations on our itenirary and gave us history with it. We really enjoyed him throughout the trip. We will be back and hopefully can do a different trip with Ishii. I highly recommend him as your tour guide specialist.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing our service.We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to leave us a lovely review .It was a pleasure to read your review .We take pride in knowing our customers are happy with their experience in spite of the situation. Thanks for your support.We really appreciate it ! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Regards.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Local Guide &Hotel Pickup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
