Great Mt Fuji trip - We had a great time. The driver started perfectly on time and we were able to beat the traffic. It allowed us ample time at most spots and we were also lucky to have great weather allowing us to have great views of Mt. Fuji. Ali was great with conversations and the family felt comfortable throughout the day trip. He was very kind and ensured we stayed on track with overall schedule while being flexible on individual spots. Thank you Ali.

Great day and experience! - We had a very smooth and informative day. As first timers visiting Mt Fuji, we got to see and experience everything you see on TV and social media from the lakes to the horse riding. Speed boat (at an extra charge) was the highlight!

Great visit to Mt. Fuji and surrounding area - Great driver to all locations. Very efficient from site to site. Started with 5th Station on Mt. Fuji, from there to Lake Kawaguchiko where we also had lunch, then on to Fujisan for the hardens in full bloom under an amazing view of Mt. Fuji (though there were a few clouds right at the top - seemed as though it was smoking, but wasn’t). Finally to Oshino Hakkai. Our driver had some suggestions for food and snacks and gave us ample time to explore each site. However, for some reason, the tour was set to start at 8AM on a weekday. The driver couldn’t get to pick us up until 9:15 because of traffic, which ended up eliminating time for the outlets - not that it was essential for us. But, in the future, I’d suggest booking it on the weekend or much earlier.

Dangerous speeding. Minimal to no sites explanation. Made us took a bus to 5th. Station. - Late pick up. Driver alluded he tried to contact me via WhatsApp…I don’t use WA. Speeding while driving, had to tell him to lower the speed, he was driving at 140km/h at a 80km/h. He was taking side roads to avoid highway tolls. The van was old and smelly. Made us take a bus to 5th. Station since he didn’t have pass to go up, even though the description said the private car would take you up. Terrible experience, avoid this provider and don’t spend your money on this as it’s not what’s expected.
