About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ken B0 contributionsGreat driver and sightsPrompt and efficient driver (Zeb). There was a lot of snow and diversions, blocked roads etc. He navigated us through it all.Written 19 March 2025
- sandragQ459RB0 contributionsMT FUJI TOKYOThe view was amazing, first stop at a beautiful town with there typical foods and pastry were delicious. Driver was very knowledgeable and had lots of patience.Written 19 March 2025
- lyn h0 contributionsWonderful dayRana was so helpful. We had the best day. He explained where we would go and was so helpful A wonderful day. Mt Fuji in full glory.Written 14 March 2025
- MaryamKP0 contributionsI DON'T RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL!Horrible experience! First of all they never ever contacted me till half a day prior to my the date! There has been a mistake in the date of booking, If I knew ahead of time like a day or two I would have cancelled it sooner. We were not even in Japan, We are going next month and this reservation was supposed to be for the next month. As soon as I got their message on Monday morning at 6 am (Tour was scheduled for Tuesday 9 am), I told them this is a mistake and please cancel it or transfer it to next month when we are actually there! I give them 4 different dates to change it to and they said they are all booked on those dates! Then I said then cancel and return 463$. They said since it is less than 24 hours their time, they won't give me a dime, not even half of it. Nothing! This is so unfair and I have been charged for the service I never received and I was cancelling more than 24 hours my time! The only reason I was cancelling that date is because I didn't know about it till then, If they would have communicated or contacted me earlier I would have cancelled it way earlier than that. They say Japanese people are nice but not this group! WILL NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL!Written 5 March 2025

- rbeccajmorse0 contributionsGreat day out of the cityFun day exploring the Mt Fuji region! We were lucky to be blessed with perfect weather and many spectacular perspectives on the mountain. We visited on the weekend towards the end of the year and there were many other tourists, making some of the queues quite long (esp. to get up and down the ropeway). While this meant that we missed one stop, it was all definitely worthwhile. Shout out to our excellent driver, Sam! It was nice to spend the day in his care.Written 29 December 2024
- chloerR202CB0 contributionsGreat service! Would book again!Great trip! Our driver/tour guide, Sir Ken, arrived on time and helped us budget our time in Mt.

- nakanofam0 contributionsAnazing Private Day Van Tour to Mt Fuji area!Our driver, Sam, was a difference maker. In addition to being a great driver with fantastic customer service, he was professional, friendly, prompt, made wonderful recommendations and spoke great English! The tour company contacted us in advance to ensure everything was properly set up and any questions answered. We visited a pagoda and Lake Kawaguchi with stunning views of Mt. Fuji. Also spent some time at the Gotemba premium outlet mall before an on-time drop off at our hotel in Ueno. Highly recommended this one-day private van tour (7 in our party) to the Mt. Fuji area. Ask for Sam.Written 5 December 2024

This trip was awesome! My driver Tareq did an incredible job of accomodating my custom itinerary to ensure I got to see and do everything I had on my list. He was a very safe driver and did a great job of getting around and sharing information about all of the sites. I would highly recommend this tour for a solo person or a group. It is a little more expensive from some of the others available, but with this trip you are in a private car or van and not stuck on a big tour bus. Also you can totally customize your entire day and do the things you want to do and not be stuck to an intinerary that might not suit all your needs. I would do this again in a heartbeat and totally request Tareq again as my driver and guide.

The tour highlighted many of the top attractions within Tokyo and we had a good amount of time at each destination. My only recommendation would be to purchase The Tokyo Skytree tickets in advance as same day can be difficult or you will have to wait in a long line. That aside, my family and I had a wonderful time! We can’t say enough about our guide Aki…he was professional, courteous, personable and having been a tour guide myself in the past, I can honestly say he’s one of the best!

Mian was our driver/guide on this full day tour and did a great job. Starting with the night before contact with us he confirmed with a photo our meeting location to avoid possible confusion. Upon meeting our group of 6 he discussed our itinerary and any possible changes or things we preferred doing. He was informative, professional and all six of us had an enjoyable 1st day in Tokyo thanks to Mian.
One of our people could not download the Sica card so needed to purchase it in person at a train station. Mian went out of his way to go to the Central Tokyo Station to buy this card. Thanks Mian!

Great tour of the city sites and our tour guide, Jiro, was very informative and kind. Showed us around since it was our first time to Tokyo. Most of the sites were open but the palace tour was fully booked, so we were not able to see that part but the gardens were free to check out. Took us to some of the local shops to buy stuff and the fish market to eat local fresh food. Pretty crowded but it was lunch time on a Sunday!! Lol

A huge thank you to our driver Affan for the most incredible experience. Affan provided us with a wonderful service , he was punctual, respectful, polite and patient with my family. Using this service gave us the opportunity to visit many various destinations in any location around the city. Affan was a great guide and was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that we had and assisted us in any way possible. We would highly recommend this service to anyone interested in visiting as many locations as possible.

This tour is a great way to see Tokyo in one day. Let me tell you what a wonderful tour company Dokotrip is. When I was at the airport waiting for our flight to Tokyo and realized I made the mistake of booking the tour one day too early ( forgot about the time difference), I immediate emailed Dokotrip. The destination manager, Krizzia, responsed immediately and started working on solving this right away. She was able to find us a guide and a van for 8 on Sunday, with no extra cost for rebooking. Even though it was my mistake, she never laid blame, only kept on telling me its ok and she will do her best to resolve this. Resolved it she did, and our driver and the guide were knowledgeable and responsive to all our needs during the tour, and we really appreciate all the care and flexibility shown to our elderly parents with difficulties walking. I would highly recommend not only this tour, but any tours that Dokotrip operates. They really are great at taking care of their customers and handling any problems. Thanks again Dokotrip and Krizzia.

Mian was our private driver for our trip to Tokyo. He was punctual, professional, and extremely courteous. Mian demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the area and ensured that each journey was smooth and efficient. We had very young children and elderly parents in our party and he accommodated to all of our requests. His attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly set him apart. I highly recommend Mian for anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality private driving service.

It turned out to be an awesome day! Sam, our guide, arrived a few minutes early and helped us customize our stops for the day. Some that were suggested, and some we requested. As seniors, Sam minimized the walking time at each stop, always providing clear, easy to follow directions on where to go and return pickup spots. Tokyo is a great, vast city with many attractions and sights. From the Imperial Palace to the Sky Tower and several points in between, it was a fun and informative day. I would highly recommend this tour service.

Our time in Japan was limited and we wanted to see us much as we could in a couple of days. We opted for two tours through Dokotrip: the private Tokyo tour and the Mt. Fuji tour. Both tours were great experiences and we were able to see everything we wanted and more! The drivers were not only friendly but also provided valuable recommendations for the best itinerary to suit our family's needs.
