Chan50 Posted January 10 #1 Share Posted January 10 Hi Apologies for the broad question but we are a group of 10 traveling on the Celebrity Millenium in September. We are looking to do private day or half day tours in Mt. Fuji, Hakodate and Aomori. Would anyone have any recommendations of companies that could do these tours? We have been told that MK Taxi is a good option in Kyoto and Osaka but not sure about similar services for the above places? We are just tossing up between shore excursions on the ship and other options to see what would work best. Thank you all in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used TBL many times and never had a bad guide. You deal direct with the guide which makes it easy to personalise each tour, pay via the head office in Canada, full refund if the ship doesn't dock. Guides get booked up very early. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatharbour Posted January 10 #3 Share Posted January 10 We also used Tours by Locals and Triple Lights and had wonderful tours in Japan. We were fortunate to have an active roll call that organised many of the tours and also transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamboatWillie118 Posted January 28 #8 Share Posted January 28 Is there a concern about taking 2-3h to get off the ship once in port, since you didn't book through the cruise line? We had that problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because of the itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
