Excellent Personalized Private Tour of Mount Fuji and the Surrounding Area - Our private tour driver was with Ali and the experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Ali contacted us by text a couple of days beforehand to see what the most convenient time to leave to see the most out of Mt. Fuji. He explained based on our specific hotel how much traffic there would be on the route. Everything was personalized, Ali spoke perfect English and treated us like friends. We appreciated that he told us which stops were the most interesting where we should spend the most time. The car was very comfortable, we took the luxury option Mercedes, and he was a very good and safe driver. All of the sights along the way to Mount Fuji were interesting and had nice ice cream and souvenir shops. At the fifth station of Mount Fuji itself, it is usually difficult to get a clear glimpse of ALL of Mount Fuji as it reaches as high as the clouds/low fog. This made the experience truly worthwhile because we saw what Mt. Fuji looks like in real life, as opposed to in a postcard. When there was a safe stop along the highway with extra sunlight where more of the volcano could be seen, Ali made a point of stopping and took pictures of us. It is a beautiful drive at the beginning of October as the leaves are just starting to change, the temperature is warm and the fifth station of Mount Fuji is very colourful. Be sure to bring a jacket for the highest point of Mount Fuji as it can get quite chilly. We appreciated this personalized experience without feeling rushed or caught in a large group of tourists on a big bus. It was worth the money and was a better experience than a bus tour. We only had one constructive criticism and it is that we would have liked to know upon booking what is the best time to leave in the morning. The website only offered 8-9AM, but to see everything you may need to leave as early as 6AM. We initially planned a late dinner the night before and if we had known the tour could start at 6AM, we would have planned to go to bed earlier. All in all it was a lot of fun, a terrific day and a great experience. I would recommend paying extra for the luxury car option as it is a long drive. Again, Ali was very patient, accommodating and friendly. Having a great guide changes the whole experience. We would recommend this tour to our friends at home in Canada. Thanks for a great day-trip!

Magical Mount Fuji did not disappoint. - We had the best experience with Karvaan. Our driver Ali was extremely knowledgeable and has been doing this for a long time. Once we confirmed our trip, he reached out to us the night before requesting us if we could start early at 6 am pick up not only to avoid traffic but also to get the view of Mount Fuji without much crowd. We are glad that we obliged. He picked us in a luxurious Mercedes car and took us to all the right spots. He educated us about the history and also was our personal photographer getting really good pictures. We absolutely enjoyed our day. This experience although was expensive but totally worth it. Ask for Ali Ahsan and you will not be disappointed. We’re very grateful for this experience.

Amazing day at mt Fuji - Our driver Ali suggested that we leave early as it was a public holiday in Japan. Ali was very knowledgeable and informative gave us options and decided to do speed boat ride on the lake views of mt Fuji were amazing. Highly recommend this tour and Ali as a guide. Transport was spotless and very comfortable we were a party of 4 people.

Great experience! - Momin was a great guide. He was laid back and patient as we took our time exploring all the sights. He had great recommendations for lunch and kept track of the wait times at each of our stops to make sure we weren’t headed somewhere that was congested.

Most enjoyable tour ever! - We took the private tour to Mt Fuji with our driver Ali. We asked for a few specific stops (fifth station, Owakudani hot springs, Hakone ropeway, Lake Ashi boat ride) and Ali managed to fit them all in with plenty of time for us at every stop. He also added a stop at Kitaguchi Honjo Fuji Senjin shrine - which was AMAZING - serene, beautiful, spiritual. Throughout the tour Ali was engaged in conversation with us about many things - Japan history, must-see sights for our trip, every day life remain Japan like cars and homes and such. Ali is very personable and a safe, knowledgeable driver. If you have Ali as your guide - you will be extremely happy at the end of the day!

Not good enough - Great trip but terrible experience. Our booking indicated an English speaking driver however this was not the case. He was unable to communicate with us and got lost twice on the drive home resulting in a very late finish. Very unsatisfactory

Not worth the $👎🏻 - As per the itineraries, there were supposed to be 10 stops. But we only went to 3 stops(5th station, oshino hakkai & lake kawaguchiko) as we were being rushed due Japan holiday and driver did not want to be stuck in traffic. Over at lake kawaguchiko, the only time we enjoyed the view was during lunch and we could not even walked around the lake to enjoy the view. Driver mentioned to us that if more than 10hr we need to pay extra to him. Totally not worth the money and we regretted it.

Do Not Book with this company! - I had booked the tour company well in advance, unaware that our trip coincided with a Japanese holiday weekend. This resulted in our road trip being significantly delayed due to heavy traffic, spending 5 hours on the road from 9 am to 2 pm just to reach the first destination. I regret that the company did not inform me about the potential impact of the holiday on our itinerary. Had I known, I would have chosen a different date. Additionally, the driver was pleasant, the vehicle had a strong odor of body sweat, and he hurried us at each stop. Considering the cost of $521, the experience was disappointing, especially as we only managed to visit 3 out of the 9 planned attractions. Fortunately, I was able to book another private tour to visit the remaining 6 locations that were not covered by the initial tour.
