Traveler reviews
Amazing Experience
Nao is one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The tour was very comprehensive, with beautiful views, amazing sceneries and hidden gems off the beaten path. Nao went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and even managed to complete our despite having an unforeseen 2hr traffic jam in the morning. 10/10 would recommend and would live to book another tour with him!
Best Trip
The excursion with Tushi to Mount Fuji was a truly enriching experience for us. We learned a lot about Japanese culture. We can highly recommend Tushi and the driver to everyone!
Great tour guide
Nao is very friendly and knowledgable. He was very flexible with the schedule and catered toward our interests. Despite us being unable to see Mt. Fuji (Mother Nature), we still enjoyed our tour because of him.
When life gives you lemons…
Our tour guide Ramesh was awesome. We booked a Christmas Eve tour to see Mount Fuji - but we didn’t really due to unlucky weather. Nevertheless we and Ramesh made the most of it and had a great time! Our family loves the outdoors as did Ramesh, and we all appreciated soaking in the culture and surrounding landscape and sites, albeit on a wet day. We would do it all over again without hesitation :)
Highlight of our trip with Yuki!
We had an amazing Mt Fuji tour with Yuki. He was super nice and knowledgable. Communication was very good. He took us to many stops, we would not have seen on our own and explained our many questions. This excursion was the highlight of our trip so far. Yuki helped us navigate through the crowds at popular locations showing us where the best photo spots are and translating many of the Japanese items we could not read. He took us to some local places which were amazing to see the local culture and not just tourist spots. I would highly recommend this tour and Yuki. I wish we did another tour when we first arrived because it would have probably been very helpful to explain many items.
