We had an amazing trip to Mount Fuji! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and every stop was beautiful and memorable! The entire experience was enjoyable, well-organized, and a wonderful way to explore Japan! It was also a great day with Haseeb! He was an AWSOME tour guide! The tour was worth it! It was a step by step, guided tour with all the things in the itinerary. Haseeb gave us options and recommendations for what and how we needed to do something. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Japan. Definitely a 5-star experience!Posted on Google![]()

We just finished our tour of Mt Fuji and surrounding areas with Shish. This was such a wonderful day. The commutation before and day of the tour was great. Shish and the driver were on tin time at our hotel. They picked us up in a clean comfortable Toyota van. We proceeded to mt Fuji where totally lucked out with perfect weather to see the mountain and all the lookout areas from above. The lunch stop and bathroom stops were always right on time. We took a gondola ride to the top of a scenic overlook, visited a historic village then headed back to Tokyo. Wonderful day. Thanks Shish.Posted on Google![]()

Shish was a great tour guide, he is so friendly and knowledgeable. Showed us all the best spots in Japan that you wouldn’t usually go to. Was a perfect day out, we had the best day of our trip so far. Worth the money, totally recommend.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great tour with Haseeb to Mt Fuji and he even managed to squeeze in some of Hakone for us as well! The whole experience was easily navigated and communication was excellent starting a few days before the trip. Expectations were set before departing but flexibility allowed us to modify our tour on the fly. Timing for attractions was perfect, we were leaving just as the crowds were arriving. Car was great, Haseeb was so kind, provided insightful information and recommendations while allowing us to explore independently and really made the trip wonderful. Thanks for such a memorable day!
