Great guide
Colleen was awesome. Was on time and ensured that I got a good view of the mountain even though it was a cloudy day. Also customized the tour to see the highlights I wanted.

Mount Fuji day trip
Had an absolute fabulous day. Tour guide Collen was punctual, accomadating and very knowledgable. Giving great advice and flexibility.

Mt fuji tour
We had a customisable 1 day tour around mt fuji (2 adults 2 teens). Our guide Colin was so lovely and patient, he tooks us to all the key sights. When we had had enough we asked to head back to the hotel. Highly recommend a private customisable tour as it was great value for money.

An absolute must do tour :-)
We were lucky to find Collen and his private tour. From the time of Inquiring till the end Collen is prompt,polite & helpful. He picked us up on time and on the way gave us information and insider tips about the day ahead. The car is new and squeaky clean, not only is he a good driver but knows all the short cuts between Tokyo and Mt Fuji avoiding traffic jams on the way and I do recommend listening to him when he suggests start early :-) I can only recommend Collen if you want a nice ride and stressfree day (besides all the tourists wanting the same photo…) returning to his cocoon/car after that photo shot :-)) Book him and you won’t regret! Cheers

A long day, with good attractions near the Mt Fuji.
We have a mixed opinion about this tour. On the one hand, schedules and transportation were fulfilled. We also accommodated the stops according to the time we had. On the other hand, this tour lasts 9 to 10 hours, including more than 5 hours in the van, which we would not have noticed. The escort coordination was very late, the night before at 10pm, and we could not leave early at 7am, which is advisable. In addition, our companion was more driver than guide and his recommendations and comments were scarce.

Mount Fuji Family Tour
Collen is a very nice guide and a great driver. He made us bring forward the departure to take advantage of all the best vantage points of Mount Fuji

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide!
Our family of 4 had a wonderful day tour to Mount Fuji with our guide, Collen. Collen was extremely accommodating . We were in Japan for a world sports event in Kawasaki in which our son was competing. Because of this, we had some time constraints. Collen created a great day for us that allowed us to see and do as much as possible. He is knowledgeable and extremely thoughtful. Our tour day was cloudy and the top of Mount Fuji had been covered in clouds. On the drive home, the clouds finally cleared. Collen pulled off the road so that we could take some photos. We highly recommend this tour and our fantastic guide, Collen!

Great tour
Collen was very attentive and accommodated all of our requests. Mount Fuji was hidden for most of the day, but we were rewarded with its view at the last stop of the tour. It was an excellent day.
