We got the tour details by email the night before, including the guide and driver information. It took us a little while to find our guide in the morning, but luckily there was a number on the guide’s flag, so we found them in the end. The tour went pretty smoothly. Luckily, the weather was great and we could see Mt. Fuji! Our guide was really friendly and helpful, and took some nice photos for us. Overall, we had a great day and really enjoyed the tour!
We had a great day visiting Mt. Fuji ! If you want to see both without having to worry about planning everything yourself, this tour is definitely worth it. The schedule was pretty busy, but everything was well organized and we were able to make the most of the day. A big shout-out to our guide, He was friendly, helpful, and kept things running smoothly throughout the day. He also made the trip a lot more fun.
The guide straight-up wasn't there. Or if it was, it was a person who DID NOT KNOW I was included, because the guide from the same company I met basically laughed me from there. And now support is ignoring me. So that's fun.
We’re sorry for the poor experience. There are many tour guides at the meeting point, so it can be easy to find the wrong person. We’ll definitely improve this in the future. We’ve already arranged a full refund for you. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
