Our tour guide, Ms. Tuna, was very enthusiastic and generous. Although we almost missed the bus, I was so touched when I finally heard her say in Chinese, "Have the Taiwanese travelers arrived?" She also introduced attractions during the trip. The itinerary was great!

Our tour guide, Lucas, was very kind and knowledgeable. There was a slight delay at the start because one guest didn’t show up, but he handled the situation very well and it wasn’t a big deal. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji on a perfect day—no clouds in the sky and everything was crystal clear. It was such a wonderful experience!! ✨

Arpan explained everything very thoroughly! The only downside was that the clouds were too thick today and blocked Mount Fuji. 🥹
