• Driver service not a tour

  This was the last tour of our or two week family vacation to South Korea and Japan.. i’ve now come to believe that this tour to Mount Fuji is designed to be a driver service rather than a i personal tour of the sites after experiencing it and revisiting the tour information and other reviews. Our driver, Ali, called me at 9 PM the night before the tour, which I thought was late. He picked us up at 9 AM. This tour was scheduled to be a 10 hour tour. We discussed the tour on the way to Mount Fuji, which was a long drive, and we relied on Ali’s advice and expertise. Ali advise that we dropped the first scheduled stop, station 5, since he advised that the views were the same at other sites and that stop consume two hours of the trip. Since I read in the information that during hiking season station 5 is dropped from the tour, we agreed. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, however, my wife and daughter said it smelled of cigarettes, I didn’t notice. I got the impression that the vehicles were personal vehicles and not company vehicles, however, I don’t know. Ali took excellent portrait photographs with scenic views. I asked him if there was a trick to it and why he did it the way he did, which was unique, He shared with me the trick. I don’t know if it is j his unique method, or the Tours companies, but it works very well, i’m not going to revealing any secrets here. Ali’s English was fine, with a Pakistan accent. We were surprised that the Tours was led by a foreigner rather than a native Japanese guide with knowledge and experience of the area and the country. Ali would take us to a tour site and in some cases explain a little bit about the site, basic information, and drop us off to explore ithe area our self’s and tell us when to be back to the vehicle. On other tours, I’ve taken with Viator the tour guides would accompanying us and explained about the site its history and its significance, etc. If you want a tour in which the guide accompanies you and explains the history and significance of the site rather than just drive you to it, maybe you would want to find another tour service operator.

• English speaking driver / guide is a misleading term

  A long day , poor guide knowledge , Guide did not know much about the places - what he told us was not what was written in English on the monuments - his English was very broken and only way for good communication was knowing his native language ( Hindi/urdu)

  Our tour was very enjoyable and Ali made it very fun. He helped find the perfect place for our son Devin to propose to his girlfriend Bernie! We now have wonderful engagement memories!

  We had a great time with our guide – he was friendly, informative, and made everything easy and fun. He was especially helpful with my kids, taking extra care to help manage my little one throughout the trip. Truly appreciated.

  Abdul was great with his pre-tour communication and was punctual and thoughtful suggesting an earlier start to minimise time spent in heavy traffic. He regularly gave us options regarding stopping points along the way. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable so all in all, our trip to Mt. Fuji was a terrific success. He even arranged perfect visibility and hot weather!!
