I had a really great time on this tour! Although Mt. Fuji-san was a little shy today and didn’t show herself, I still had so much fun and truly enjoyed the experience. A special shoutout to our amazing tour guide, Erina! Please give this woman a salary raise! 😂 She truly went above and beyond to make sure that everyone on the tour was well taken care of and that no one was left behind. She was also very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information and facts about the places we visited, which made the tour even more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you so much, Erina, for making the experience memorable. You definitely deserve all the kudos! 👏❤️

The tour was very well organized and we enjoyed it, even though Mount Fuji was hidden behind a thick cloud cover. It would be desirable if all participants were informed beforehand via WhatsApp.

Signing up for this Mount Fuji day trip was an overall fantastic experience. Although the weather that day was a bit unstable with some light rain along the way, which prevented some of the views from being as clear as they would be on a sunny day, our driver, Lao Zhang, was very friendly the entire trip and patiently explained local attractions and weather conditions to help us better understand the itinerary. Additionally, the driver recommended some great restaurants based on our preferences. The recommended food was delicious, allowing us to enjoy local cuisine during our trip. The entire itinerary was arranged smoothly, the driver's driving was very steady, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Even though we didn't have the ideal weather this time, the driver's excellent service attitude made this Mount Fuji trip a wonderful memory. If I have the opportunity to travel to Tokyo again next time, I would gladly choose this tour again.

Fantastic day trip to Mount Fuji with Virginia, our guide. Everything was well organized with just enough time to see it all. Virginia was fantastic, helping us at all times, giving us explanations of the best places to see, and speaking Spanish, which (although she's perfectly understandable in English) always helps. She even gave us a Japanese lesson on the bus. If we come back, we'll definitely book with her again.

We, 2 families consisting of 8 people, had booked a private small-group tour. This day trip will stay in our memories of Japan forever. Not just because we finally managed to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji almost in its entirety. Above all, our very friendly guide Daichi contributed to this. He patiently answered all our questions and always kept us informed about the next steps. We felt very comfortable and highly recommend this tour and especially Daichi.

Great day out and wonderful experience with Yuki. was great getting to know people on the trip. very well organised and great value for money. Would advise to set off early as the station can be very confusing - stick to exit 8 for the post office. We arrived with literally 1 minute to spare. lots of toilet breaks and food options. great locations with convenience stores along the way. We didn't get to see Mount fuji due to the weather. However the day was full of wonderful experiences! thank you Yuki and team
