Posted on Brenda Thoeny-JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a fantastic experience! We had a wonderful guide, Pradhan, who could not have provided a better tour. Pradhan was ready and waiting for us when we arrived at the meet up spot. He was incredibly warm and friendly and he customized our trip to meet our needs. He was able to share local information about every site along the way. One of the highlights of the experience was a boat ride on Lake Kawaguchi, where our captain took numerous pictures of our group with Mt. Fuji in the background. Pradhan was always waiting for us promptly when we finished in any given area along the tour and he offered to take group photos for us. He was patient an always offered tips and ideas regarding food choices. I would highly recommend this private trip over a bus tour and if you require an English speaking guide, ask for Pradhan!Posted on Jason ReaderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Private Tour to Mt. Fuji - Haan was a fantastic and safe driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Shared information on the way there and back. Even had side tour suggestions that were great too (speedboat ride was great). Had some good lunch suggestions too. Highly recommend!Posted on Laurie GorlickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed our private tour with Maz to the Mt Fuiji area. He took us to many interesting sites . Although the weather made it challenging to see Mt Fuiji , Maz traveled out far enough so we could capture the mountain. We also enjoyed the best ice cream! I would highly recommend this tour .Posted on Ayan PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tour guide(Petteri) was amazing and super helpful. He was very kind and gave us options of what to do based on if Mt. Fuji was visible or not. He showed us places that we would have never went to and would highly recommend this in the future!Posted on Greg MastersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic day with our guide Israr. Great knowledge of the area and recommended a great place for lunch. A magnificent experiencePosted on P CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible day spent at Mt. Fuji with Dan. Dan was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable and took us to all the best spots and helped us take the best pictures. He definitely helped make this a memorable trip and would highly recommend.Posted on Corey TakagiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience on the Live Nippon tour in Hakone. The entire day was incredibly well organized and it was a fantastic way to explore such a beautiful area without having to worry about transportation or planning. Hakone itself is stunning, with incredible scenery, great viewpoints, and so much to see. Our tour guide and driver, Maz, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting information about the area, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. Having someone like Maz guiding the tour really made the experience special. I highly recommend the Live Nippon Hakone tour to anyone visiting Japan. It’s a great way to see the highlights of Hakone, and if you’re lucky enough to have Maz as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic day!Posted on Peter SzmukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a nice trip to My Fuji. Our driver and guide, ISRAR was very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommendedPosted on Wayne AversTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This had to be the highlight of my trip to Japan so far. The weather was perfect and because we got there early, we beat the crowds and the mountain was totally clear. Petteri took me to all the best spots to get some amazing photos. The stop at the sake brewery was fun and something I wouldn't have thought to do if I tried to do this by myself. The boat ride on lake Kawaguchi was a total blast. A stop at Petteri's friend Valo's Cuban food for a Cuban sandwich and mojito was a perfect ending to a great day. Thanks Petteri for an experience I'll never forget.Posted on M HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb tour day with Dan around Mt Fuji, we were so lucky for the clear and dry weather. We enjoyed many excellent views of the volcano, visited a historical village, shrines, caves, snowy forest walk, saw fish in clear water ponds, and souvenir shopping too! Dan was friendly, chatty, professional and kind, and even took couple photos for us. Would recommend.
