Posted on Cathy PetrovichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved all the places Maz took us on our tour. Finished with a fun boat ride on Lake Kawaguchico and spectacular views of Mount Fuji!!Posted on Suresh RavindranathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service..the car came on time for our trip to mount fuji from Tokyo. The vehocle was clean and spotless..Our chauffeur Mr Jeff was really helpful in guiding us thru the tripPosted on Le HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Average, he did his job. He basically drove us to my Fuji and drove us to couple places and drove us back. He could have talked about things such as interested things that we encountered, weather, people, foods of interest, history of places we visited. But he was just a driver, not a tour guide.Posted on Michael GrimaldiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our private trip from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji was easily one of the highlights of our time in Japan. From the moment we were picked up, everything felt smooth, comfortable, and thoughtfully planned. Having a private car made all the difference—we could relax, take in the scenery, and move at our own pace without the stress of navigating trains or crowds. A huge part of what made the experience so memorable was our driver, Ali. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly kind, but also warm and personable in a way that made the whole day feel special rather than transactional. Ali knew exactly where to go for the best views, helped us time our stops perfectly, and even suggested a few hidden gems we would have completely missed otherwise. The drive itself was beautiful, gradually transitioning from the energy of Tokyo to the calm, scenic landscapes surrounding Mt. Fuji. When the mountain finally came into view, it was absolutely breathtaking—one of those moments that really sticks with you. Thanks to Ali’s guidance, we were able to stop at several ideal vantage points for photos and quiet appreciation. What stood out most was how effortless the entire day felt. Ali handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about timing, directions, or planning. His attention to detail and genuine care for our experience elevated the trip far beyond just transportation. If you’re considering a visit to Mt. Fuji from Tokyo, a private trip like this is absolutely worth it—and if you’re lucky enough to have Ali as your driver, you’re in excellent hands.Posted on Alyson OrrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Communication was clear and thoughtful, making suggestion to adjust time for best viewing and traffic. Israr was knowledgeable and kind. The day went great.Posted on Marcel VermaatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tourguide Petteri did a excellent job. We had a lot of fun and saw amazing thingsPosted on LenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Fuji day trip from Tokyo Kinshicho. We had Zia as our driver who picked us up from our hotel a little earlier than our booking time to avoid traffic. Not only did we manage to avoid all traffic throughout the entire day but we saw Mt. Fuji too! Zia is a wealth of knowledge. He is super friendly and chatty and an excellent driver. We asked him questions about Japan throughout the entire day (we love to talk) and he was able to answer them all and give us plenty of interesting facts about our daily tour. It was a perfect day. I would highly suggest doing this tour. It's definitely the highlight of the trip for me.Posted on Shepard SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice Job Pete. He told we had to get out early because it was a national holiday and all the areas around Fuji would be packed and he was dead right. Thank youPosted on Susan GlassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OMG! We did the 10hr trip to Mt Fuji with Ali and he was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable about everything. If you come to Tokyo you need to do this tour with Ali!Posted on Catherine NguyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic time on the Mt. Fuji private tour with our driver Mirza! He was very communicative and welcoming. We asked for pick up to be moved back and he accommodated with no problem. Mirza gave fantastic recommendations for lunch at Mt. Fuji and is a great conversationalist. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, would recommend!
