The tour guide was...

1.00The tour guide was lovely, very informative but the long queues, being 1 hour then 35 minutes, at the cable car (which was a waste of time due to dense cloud cover and rain), caused us to miss the pirate boat ride. We were refunded a measley one thousand yen each. It would have been better to skip the cable car all together and just head to the boat. This, along with no vision of Mt Fuji (nobody’s fault) made the very very long day, a waste of time. The Peace park, replacing the canceled shrine visit was okay.
All great sights and...

3.00All great sights and professional tour operator- but all felt too rushed to fit into a day. I would opt for a bit lighter on activities next time.
Skip this tour. Look elsewhere.

2.00I initially picked this tour because they offer hotel pick up. We were early at the meeting point and a tour guide met up with us. But she took us to 2 other different hotels claiming traffic reasons and the bus was still 30 mins late. We took a taxi ride to one hotel and then. 5 mins later we had to walk to the next one. It was weird. After we got picked up, the tour guide announced that we would go to the 4th station at Mt. Fuji. She also confirmed that the part where we would visit the famous tori gate shrine was canceled due to overcrowding tourists. My son was disappointed because that would have been the highlight. The tour company did notify us two weeks before that there was a possibility that it would be canceled. 4th station was a total waste of time. We did not have a clear view of Mt. Fuji (which happens very often). Even if it wasn’t cloudy, the location was just very underwhelming with obstructed views. We went to Peace Park instead of the shrine. Nothing much to see there. The rest of the tour we spent long hours just standing in queues for the cable cars and when we finally arrived at the volcanic area, the tour guide told us we had one minute to take a photo and we had to rush to another line for another cable car. That location had tons to explore plus shops so it was very unfortunate that we did not get to do so. She said the queues took too long and we had to catch the cruise. After the second cable car we went on the pirate ship and it was extremely crowded. Aside from experiencing no personal space, there was nothing really to see on the way back to the port. We got back on the bus afterwards and headed straight to the train station. The only positive thing about this tour was that the tour guide was nice and friendly. Other than that, we have definitely wasted our time with this tour. Badly planned and not recommended.
We have a beautiful tour with a best lady guide.

4.00A good tour would have given it five stars if only the really helpful tour guide was able to provide better explanations for the sites visited especially the temple. Overall good but could have been better.
Mediocre

3.00The activities are very rigid in terms of time. If you are not a time watcher, you could easily be left behind. There is not enough time spent at each location. The lunch was highly disappointing. The tour guide (as nice as was) honestly, should not be a tour guide. There was vey little background or history given. He was just not English proficient enough to be a guide; which meant communication and directions were confusing and chaotic. For the most part, tourists were left to rely on each other to navigate the tour.
Must see tour!!
