Wonderful experience with a great driver. - Although it was raining and we could not view Mount Fuji, our day was still amazing. Sajid was our driver/guide and spoke English very well. He was familiar with all the sites which enhanced our experience.

Had a great time ! - We had a great time with Hussein who took us around Mt. Fuji and surrounding areas. Hussein was punctual in the morning, well informed about the different view points and took great care to make sure that our family had a great time. We will definitely be using their services again next time we are back in Tokyo !

More a taxi ride tour than an informative guided tour - The spots that are listed are all definitely worth visiting; however, think of this more as an all-day taxi trip than a guided tour where you actively learn along the way. Driver was friendly and engaged but there were some language barriers to English. Perhaps a bit on the costly side for what you end up getting (we were 2 people driven around in an older Prius, again with no informative guidance along the journey). For the benefit of tourists, we would suggest building in some commentary / knowledge sharing of local history, info snippets and background to the locations we visit.
