Ro was our guide. He was very professional and drove very well . He took us to great spots . We were able to have beautiful views and took awesome pictures. I truely recommend this tour .
Fantastic Tour! Pick up in hotel service was really a plus of this tour! Our driver, Gavin was really nice and we managed to see Mount Fuji even if it was a cloudy day!
It was a wonderful experience; we traveled, made new friends, and saw some breathtaking places—though it’s a shame visibility wasn't good enough to see Mount Fuji. A special thanks to the driver; we hope to come back next year! ☺️
Everything went well. Our driver, Ro, was incredibly helpful and kind. Though the weather was unfortunate. I recommend it.
This was a relaxing, chilled experience. This is an opportunity to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some Japanese nature and take some great photos. The view of Mt Fuji will probably be obscured if you are not there in winter, but you can still enjoy the tour. Gavin was an excellent guide.
Our driver was super nice. The road was long. Traffic jam was ways. Each stop was about shopping and not so much about the mountain. Ok trip.
