Personalized and amazing tour with the friendliest local guide!
Published on Nov, 2024
Johnny gave us an unforgettable day in Kawaguchiko and around Mt. Fuji! My wife and I had a unique itinerary where we were coming in from Kyoto and heading back to Tokyo the same day as the tour, and he was more than willing to accommodate us and make the most out of the time we had. He took our wishlist into account to craft a customized day tour.
His knowledge of the area and each site we saw was such a fantastic enhancement to our tour. Plus, he's just a genuinely lovely guy and was a pleasure to hang out with for the day!
We cannot recommend a tour with Johnny highly enough. We'll be seeing you again on our next trip, Johnny!
Best Tour Guide in Fujikawaguchiko!
Published on Nov, 2024
Johnny was hilarious and accommodating! We had so much fun during his tour. It was raining the entire day so we couldn't visit a few places we wanted. But he had a back up plan for us! A few entry tickets were included in the tour, which was very surprising. We went with a later start time because it was raining. The tour was 10 AM - 4 PM. We will definitely book him again next time we're in Fujikawaguchiko. Highly recommended! Thank you, Johnny!
Can't miss 11/10 Mt Fuji Tour
Published on Oct, 2024
Our local guide Johnny is an absolute legend. He picked my finance and I up from our accommodation and took us on the most wonderful sightseeing journey around Kawaguchiko.
We did luck out with good weather on our tour but he does have backup plans in case of poor weather.
He was excellent, Johnny being Canadian meant he was fluent in English (really easy to communicate with) and was very knowledgeable about the area and locations we visited.
He taught us the customs for visiting shrines and had a very tastey lunch spot lined up. Something you would only go to if you were a local "in the know".
One of the best parts was he comes to all the sites with you and photographs your day out. Some of the best photos from our trip were taken by Johnny. He should add "photographer" to his long list of skills.
We missed all the big tour buses and classic touristy traps, it truly was a VIP private tour with Johnny as our superstar.
Only downside is I can't rate more than 5/5. This champion deserves more as this is truly the highlight of our trip.
Well worth the cost. (Make sure you get in early as he does book out - for a good reason, he's the best)
Top tour of our Japan trip!
Published on Oct, 2024
What a brilliant day touring with Johnny! All hot spots visited were Johnnyās secret places. No better way of touring the Fuji area than with Johnny. Great photography and he papped us all day and sent photos after the tour. Also a great guy to chat to throughout the day and easy company. I would 100% recommend this tour and worth every penny.
Fantastic private tour for families wanting to escape the busy tourist areas.
Published on Oct, 2024
Highly recommend this tour for families wanting some exploring at your own pace away from the regular tourist crowds.
Johnny made us feel so welcome in the area that he lives in. He tailored the tour for our preferences and even made an extra stop when he found out my son loved rocks and dinosaurs. Even a stop at his favourite supermarket on the way home so we could pick up an easy dinner for tired kids.
Johnny was engaging and knowledgeable. He even took photos throughout, which is a lovely memento as we often only have selfies of our family.
The tour was a highlight of our trip to Japan.
Thank you!
