Fuji Tour ‘26

5.00Had a great time, we were really lucky with the weather. I was really impressed that the tour guide, Beru, was multi-lingual and was able to switch between English and Spanish seamlessly. Mack was an expert driver and I was also impressed at his ability to navigate very narrow roads. I was happy with all of the stops, I wish we would have had a little more time at some spots but I realize that the whole trip must be on a time limit because of how long it is in general. Overall, very happy.

5.00Beru was a terrific guide and Mack was a great driver! This was a great way to get out of the city for a day and be able to see Mt. Fuji. The lunch was just okay, but I still give the experience five stars for the convenience alone and would definitely recommend.
Patience with people

5.00Jorge and kitagawa provided a wonderful experience. Jorge is charming and funny and informative and brought an air of energy and enthusiasm to our very early start and the lethargy that persisted. Never stopped smiling and having fun and made it a trip to remember.
