A beautiful experience! Ahamed is an excellent photographer who knows the best spots and gives great tips. He made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Without this tour, it would have been impossible to see so much in one day! We discovered amazing places in Hakone and Kawaguchiko, and we had the chance to see Mount Fuji from a different and unique viewpoint. Highly recommended!
Attary was great! He was super helpful, had great knowledge, and made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Thanks!
I can from the bottom of my heart just say that this was the perfect tour. Ahamed was so knowledgable and so friendly, also a safe driver! A very flexible tour where I got options on where to go. A perfect tour for a day either if you travel alone like I did but I could also bring my kids on this one easily! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much för great dialouges and all competence that you shared!
Ahamed was a fantastic guide who went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our tour. Highly recommend! We will book again next time we are in Japan.
Ahamed makes sure to cater to our needs. 1000% recommended.
Ahamed was very attentive, and it is a gift from the universe to have had such a careful driver. We felt very confident. He has intelligent conversation, and this excursion totally met our expectations. Bravo. We recommend it 100%.
Attary did a great job guiding us to mnt. Fuji and around town, though the clouds were against us was still a great experience. He sounded like he knew a lot about the area and was interactive with us 10/10 recommended.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Ahamed was our guide for our Mount Fuji tour while we celebrated our daughter’s birthday, and he made it truly special. Our tour was scheduled for a 7 AM departure, however Ahamed suggested we leave at 5 AM instead — a call that made all the difference. We got a clear view of Mt. Fuji several times, including from the best spots - Chureito Pagoda and Lake Kawaguchi. Soon Mt. Fuji became clouded over shortly after. Without his judgment, we would have completely missed it. Also, because of the early start, the crowds were much less throughout the day! The rest of the day was just as great: a lovely village, delicious street food, outlet shopping, and a smooth return to Tokyo by 3 PM avoiding traffic. Ahamed’s pleasant personality and deep knowledge of Japan made the day even better — he gave us wonderful tips for other stops on our trip. He is also a professional photographer and took phenomenal photos of us throughout the day, like having our own personal photographer. Can’t recommend him enough!
This was one of the best and most unique things I have ever experienced! Our driver Naz was extremely experienced, super knowledgeable and also an excellent photographer who knew all the best spots! He accommodated the tour to our interests and the weather. I could not have asked for a better guide, I will def try to book him again when I return to Japan.
Fantastic experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made sure the tour was personalized to our interests. Very helpful throughout. 5 stars.
