1.00The tour was supposed to be an English guided tour of Mt Fuji. Our tour guide only informed us of the times we had to be back at the bus. When I inquired about an area, I was completely ignored. The restaurant we went to had poor reviews, the company perselecred the eggplant and mozzarella dish for me. When I informed the waiter that I don’t eat eggplant, he said that’s what the ordered for me and I couldn’t substituted for another meal. So, I had to buy myself a pizza and the restaurant changed me for the meal I already paid for. We never went on the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

5.00This tour was a welcome break from our busy days in Tokyo. The bus was comfortable and cool even in the warm Japanese Summer. And the staff was amazing. Our tour guide, Anju, was both professional and welcoming as she guided us around the different mountain communities and provided us numerous recommendations on where to get good food and coffee, which there was plenty. And our drivers did an excellent job making the drive feel comfortable and safe for my daughter and I. The lunch we had during the middle of the trip (provided at a hotel contracted by the tour company) was a delicious 3 course Italian meal that was high level restaurant quality. And the various stops along the trip, gondola ride, and boat provided us great opportunities to take pictures of the beautiful scenery surrounding Mount Fuji. Overall, this tour is a bargain at the price they offer it at. Not only for an entire day of beauty on Mount Fuji, but really because of the kind and welcoming people running the tour. Thank you very much, Anju, for making our time in Japan so special.

5.00We enjoyed this tour and thought it was excellent value. Unfortunately our timeline was disrupted by severe traffic congestion due to the start of a holiday weekend but our guide Yoko worked hard to ensure that we were able to experience everything on the itinerary
Amazing experience.

5.00Amazing experience, Hiro and her team were amazing. She was clear and concise. We went to Mt Fuji and continued to make our experience delightful. When we could not see the top of the mountain, she got us small souvenirs to make sure we saw the beauty of the mountain.
