5.00This tour was amazing and well worth the money. Vivienne was an amazing tour guide and super helpful sending us messages to help us stay on time during the tour. She loves her job. The only complaint was the pick up location! It was supper crowded with a lot of other tours meeting there at the same time. It was a zoo! Made it hard to find our tour. But Vivienne made it better by messaging us to inform us that she was on her way and running late from the first pick up location. Thanks Vivienne for being so great!!
Great Day at Fuji!
