We were lucky with the weather to be able to see Mt Fuji which was amazing. Our guide Allan was brilliant. His knowledge was amazing, he went above and beyond and was just a fun character who had us laughing.

I had the best experience during the tour even though I went solo. Betty is an excellent tour guide. She provides clear instructions, entertains us with her stories and humor, and would suggest the best views of Mt Fuji. You will really feel being taken cared of.

The sunset session was incredible. Unbeaten views of the city and Mt Fuji in the background. It was VERY busy but that was to be expected. Would definitely recommend trying to get sunset tickets.
