Melody is excellent

5.00It was a very nice experience; the guide Melody was wonderful, super friendly, and attentive. Moreover, she has incredible language skills. She gave us a ton of recommendations. The driver, I believe, was Kondo San... or something like that 😅, very pleasant as well. As a downside, I would say that there is little time when you have "free time," but I understand that if we want to cover everything... it is impossible to give more time. Very, very happy with the guide.
A great experience around Fuji.

5.00A very good option to visit different beautiful and important places, and if you are lucky, you can even see Mount Fuji. Moreover, the experience is made very pleasant and fun thanks to the two who guided us, both the guide Jorge and the driver Jou, an incredible duo. I would repeat it without hesitation.
A tour around Mr. Fuji.
