Great Tour to See a Lot in One Day!

5.00This was a wonderfully organized trip! Our guide Paolo did a wonderful job in the bi-lingual tour! Everything ran on time, we saw some beautiful sights and were absolutely blessed with amazing weather. Meal spot they organize was really great as well if you’re a fan of soups, fish, and rice. Plenty of time to explore Fuji and get great photos.

5.00We had Naomi as our tour guide, she was full of energy and positivity. She teach us some words in Japanese, a little bit of the story of every site that we when and also gave the extra mile with suggestions of dinner places and good spots to see cherry blossoms. Our tour day started with raining all morning and I thought that we will miss Mt Fuji but the day clear up and the miracle happened... we saw him!

4.00We did the tour with my wife and overall it was a very good experience. Pablo, the guide, was super friendly throughout the day, always attentive and with a very good disposition. In addition, I was sharing interesting and curious data that made the tour much more entertaining. The itinerary was very well put together: we toured really beautiful areas, with incredible scenery. Places like the Big Buddha and Kanazawa are worth a lot. As a point to improve, some stops felt a little short. I understand that since I want to cover everything in one day, time is limited, but I would personally recommend, if possible, dedicating a day to each place to enjoy it more. We were also unlucky with the weather: it rained a lot and we couldn’t see Mount Fuji. Perhaps it would be a good idea to rearrange the tour on days with variable weather, starting with the Fuji when it is clear, so as not to miss that opportunity. In short, a very nice experience, well guided and with spectacular places, although with room for improvement in the management of times and the order of the tour.
