It was a smooth ride to our itinerary . Thank you to our driver Alam . The only negative thing is , among the choices of destinations, they pre chose the itinerary. We would have liked to shop at the outlet mall .
Deceptive tour guide that will try to scam you (DO NOT BOOK)

The overall experience of seeing Mt. Fuji and visiting the various destinations was enjoyable. However, the driver’s conduct was quite disappointing due to a lack of transparency and professionalism. It is important to note — though it is not mentioned on the website — that there is an additional charge if the tour extends beyond the booked time. Our tour was scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM and conclude by 6:00 PM. On the morning of the tour, we received a WhatsApp message informing us that every additional 30 minutes past 6:00 PM would incur a 2,500 yen fee. Given that Mt. Fuji is located 2–3 hours away from Tokyo, it was crucial to plan our return carefully. The driver advised us to leave at 3:00 PM, despite knowing that traffic at that time would significantly delay our arrival back in Tokyo. He did not communicate the timing risks clearly at all. Additionally, he made an unscheduled toilet stop on the way back, which further delayed our return. He was also very dismissive and hostile when we tried to clarify the timing situation better. We arrived at 6:15 PM — just 15 minutes over the scheduled time — and were immediately told there would be a 2,500 yen charge. Only after we pointed out that it was less than 30 minutes overtime did he agree to reduce the fee by half. This additional charge felt very unfair, especially given that delays were caused by factors outside of our control, including the driver’s decisions such as his' toilet break' and traffic conditions. I would strongly recommend finding a tour guide who is more honest, professional, and considerate when it comes to time management and communication. Otherwise, you may feel pressured to leave sites earlier than you would like just to avoid unexpected fees. Unfortunately, my experience with this driver — June (or Joon) — was extremely disappointing, and I sincerely hope future travelers are spared from similar issues. Long story short: Do not book with this deceptive mode of transport, book elsewhere.

Our driver took us to some great places. He is not a tour guide but we asked some questions and he was able to answer clearly in English. Unfortunately we tried to customise our trip so we could include a walk at Mt Fuji, but our driver could only take us to 4th Station and there’s no walking trails there (just a car park), so that was a bit of a waste of time and would’ve been good if the driver suggested something else instead.
It was not the best day...

It was not the best day to view Mt. Fuji. It was raining early morning & it was cloudy. I was no longer expecting to witness its beauty, but around 11:00 AM, we were able to see Mt. Fuji. The whole mountain was not visible though, but atleast we get to see a glimpse of it. Anyway, as for the tour, it was customisable which was great. We were able to follow my itinerary. My complaint for this service was that it was rushed. Our pick-up time was 8:00 AM, but the driver messaged me & asked if we can start earlier as he arrived 7:30 AM. Since I was not able to read his message right away, we still followed the original start time. Our last stop was Gotemba outlet, we got there at 2:30 PM & he said that it will take 2.5 hours to travel back to Hotel Villa Fontaine Shiodome so he said we should be back by 3:30 PM at the parking lot. Otherwise, we will go overtime & pay extra charges. To cut the very long story short, we left at 3:40 PM & was back at the hotel by 5:00 PM. Our trip was supposed to end by 6:00 PM as it was a 10-hour tour. The driver was in a hurry. No tip for this tour. Sorry.

It was very easy and relaxing experience. I liked being picked up and dropped off at my hotel. The van ride was comfortable, I was able to charge my phone. My guide provided information and a time line. Options were given to me and I was able to tailor the experience to what I wanted, which was a huge plus. I saw multiple views and vantage points of Mt Fuji. Worth the price, would recommend to others.
