“Best Mt. Fuji Trip with Experienced English Speaking Guide - It was a wonderful one day trip of Mt. Fuji from Tokyo. The best thing about the trip was the tour guide. John was fluent in English and knew many things about Mt. Fuji and different attraction areas around Mt. Fuji. He guided us all along the way and took us to all the famous places around. He also recommended couple of places that were not on our itinerary list including Kitaguchi Honju Shrine (a hidden gem as many people don’t go there). Moreover, he was soft spoken and jolly and kept the journey alive with his good sense of humour. Additionally, the car condition was good as it was very clean and well-maintained. Thanks Glocal for arranging an amazing trip.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-17
