Wonderful day - It was a beautiful day and trip. The lunch was super good. The come back was really long cause the traffic jam, but the guides told us in the morning so we could organized. The heat was challenging, but it did not ruin our day.

Great Tour - Absolutely fantastic. Translators for both English and Chinese. George was very friendly and straightforward. Lots of time for freedom to adventure, and the food was amazing. Affordable but exceeded our expectations and is truly one of a kind.

My Fuji tour - This full day tour was exactly as advertised and we felt very fortunate for the clouds to part, allowing us to have a perfect view of Mt Fuji. We added on the wagu beef lunch and were glad we did. On one of our stops, we had to leave a couple behind-despite being reminded (many times) not to be late and despite being reminded of where our bus was parked (our guide pointed out touchstones to guide us back from the hilltop temple). We waited for almost 15 minutes before leaving and I commend our guide for making the best decision for the rest of us on the bus. This couple did eventually rejoin our group at a later point-not sure how they managed it-so just a note to NOT BE LATE back to the bus! Our meet up point was also very easy to locate and get to, so don’t let that intimidate you. All in all, a very enjoyable day.

A great time - First the gave a great direction to the pick point. They were on time. The tour guids were nice and friendly. We learned a lot about the area we went to on our way too Mt Fuji. The lunch was so amazing. It tasted so good. It was five star. Then we went and had cheese cake. Words are hard to come to me to tell you how good that cheesecake.

Absolutely worth the money and time! - Nothing compares to the wonder of seeing Mount Fuji! While the weather was extremely hot, the tour bus was comfortable and the stops were very well selected. . Our guide, Jorge, was very knowledgeable, organized and friendly. Since he is not a native English speaker, there were times when he was a bit difficult to understand- not his fault, but a bit disappointing to have signed on for the English language tour and then find it difficult to understand due to a Spanish accent! He speaks very fast!

Beautiful sights, limited time. - This tour is fine if you want a day trip to see some beautiful sights out of Tokyo with little personal effort. It was pretty much as I expected. With a limited amount of time in the country, it was a nice, easy going day after 5 days of pretty intense touring. You don’t get a lot of time in each spot, so if you’re looking for a more in depth experience for any of these places, this is not the tour for you. Driving time on the bus is 2-2.5 hours each way, which can feel like a lot if you’re not prepared. Expect traffic particularly on the return. Overall, it was a nice low key day seeing some beautiful sights. Our guide was very nice and gave clear instructions.

It’s a waste of a day.... - It’s a waste of a day. Guide was not very engaging and the trip is not worth the money at all. I would never recommend it to anyone
