Posted on Jurga RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys saved our day when we got scammed and the tour we had originally booked didn’t show up. Within half an hour of contacting them, a driver was standing at our hotel and took us to all the main sights at Mt Fuji. Our driver’s English was limited, but he was very professional and attentive to everything we asked, so it all worked out really well in the end. Thank you once again!Posted on Roger CloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic tour with Peter! He was so knowledgeable and friendly! We had outstanding views of Mt. FUJI!!!Posted on Alex RobledoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute best tour of Mount Fuji today! A huge shoutout to our guide, Zia, who went above and beyond during our entire 9-hour tour. From explaining the history of what we saw, to providing recommendations that ensured we did not have to stand in line to wait for /anything/ during peak sakura season (seriously), and even treating us to ice cream near the end of our tour, he was incredibly kind and made our experience truly memorable. We would not hesitate to recommend Live Nippon to our family and friends visiting Japan!Posted on Jennifer ChinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing Mount Fuji tour and it was truly unforgettable! Our driver David was very professional, friendly, and made the whole journey smooth and comfortable. We visited Oshino Hakkai, enjoyed a fun speed boat ride at Lake Kawaguchi, had a delicious lunch, and explored Oishi Flower Park with stunning views of Mount Fuji. The Herb Garden was also a unique and beautiful experience. Everything was well organized, and we enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended, and big thanks to David for making our day so special! 100% Recommend David Thanks 🙏Posted on Sumadyuti VenkateshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zia was a great tour guide! He was very informative and knowledgeable on the area. We had a great time with him, and highly recommend this experience.Posted on Thomas ShiltsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our private tour guide was exceptional. He got us started early for better views of Mt Fuji and gave us lots of options thru the day of other places to visit.Posted on Carmen NardiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great day with Azhar who advised us to leave earlier to avoid the crowds. He guided us to Mt Fuji and helped us to get the best photos of this magnificent site. He was patient and helpful. We also had a cable car ride and a village tour. Excellent views and memories. Thank you Azhar.Posted on S KoyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I booked to go on the Fuji tour today. Naz collected us and took us to all the best spots and best places to take pictures. He made recommendations for food and activities while we were on the tour and told us a lot about life in Japan. Naz was excellent. Happily recommend.Posted on Edward CharlishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great trip. Shame about the weather but the guide Bajwa was great and planned a great itinerary. Would recommendPosted on Rafael ZavalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I booked a private Mt. Fuji tour during a short layover in Tokyo and it was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Our guide, Maz, is clearly very experienced and has his process down. He suggested an earlier start to avoid cherry blossom weekend crowds, which made travel from Tokyo smooth and gave us spectacular, unobstructed views. He took us to all the top photography spots, capturing amazing photos of us along the way. Thoughtful recommendations, like a speedboat ride on the lake, added even more highlights to the day. Maz was attentive to our preferences, providing context and history at each site, while keeping the tour well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a seamless, personalized Mt. Fuji experience.
