Today I participated in the Klook Mt. Fuji one-day tour. I was happy with the shopping and the food. Although I couldn't see Mt. Fuji at all in Yamanakako in the morning and it was raining heavily at the Hikawa Timed Store, the sky cleared up at the end and I saw Mt. Fuji in person. It was a perfect ending. Thank you Berry and car number 634 Simu

Tour guide reached out with detail information including pictures to ensure we know where to meet the day before our trip as the tour has multiple pick up locations so being punctual was important. We had an English / Chinese tour guide Betty, she was professional and was able to converse in all three languages which makes it easy for everyone in the group. Bus driver was also professional and safety took us from places to places. We were lucky to see Mtn Fuji in more than one occasions which was a bonus during a cloudy summer opening day for hiking. Only downsize is that it has very limited dining options so consider getting a sandwich or onigri from the convenient store before the trip might not be a bad idea.

The tour guide Betty carefully introduced each attraction and special food in Chinese and English, and also helped take photos. I highly recommend it! I was lucky to see Mount Fuji when it cleared up before leaving. I went home with full of emotion.

It was my first time to join a Klook one-day tour. The itinerary was very fulfilling. Mount Fuji was even more magnificent under the clear sky and white clouds. The tour guide Xiaoyu was very kind and polite. The detailed explanations in Chinese and English enriched the trip. I will arrange to join the Klook tour again if I have the chance in the future.
