A great way to see Mt Fuji. - Far better than traveling with a large group. Our guide Ali was fantastic. He arrived as planned at the hotel and talked us through the it for the day. Each stop was perfectly timed, we were never rushed, in fact Ali asked if the timings were ok or whether we would like longer in any particular place.
He knew all the best spots to take some great photos.
Would highly recommend.

The best way to see Mt Fuji - This trip was amazing, far better than doing a large group tour. Ali, our guide did an awesome job. We were picked up on time from our hotel where Ali went through the itinerary for the day with us.
The drive to each spot was pleasant, and he knew where to stop for great photo opportunities.
We had the right amount of time at each stop, with Ali asking if we would like longer/shorter time at each location making it a truly personalized tour.
Would highly recommend.

Highly accommodating. Exceeded expectations. - Highly recommended. Dream Tours was accommodating to our schedule given the weather condition and requests. We had to make a few changes at the last minute and the family was able to see Mount Fuji in its full glory. Hadi was friendly, spoke English well and provided useful information on the sights to visit. The car was clean and the drive was pleasant. Overall, DT and Hadi exceeded our expectations.

Great experience - Shah was an excellent tour guide. We did get started a little later than we planned but I think it made the day better. Shah was very accommodating to our needs, and took us to an amazing Indian restaurant for lunch.

Mt Fuji local tour - Shah was an incredible guide for our trip from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji. He took us to multiple scenic spots, including local shrines and lakes, ensuring we saw the best of the region. His knowledge of the area made the journey even more enjoyable, and he captured amazing photos for us along the way. To top it off, we had a fantastic lunch. If you're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional guide, Shah is the perfect choice! Highly recommend!

Beautiful day at Mt. Fuji - Spectacular day to see Mt. Fuji! Weather couldn’t have been nicer. Ali customized our tour and took us wherever we asked and gave us as much time as we needed at each spot. He picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off at train station to head to Kyoto afterwards. Recommend this for anyone wanting a more private experience to Mt. Fuji.

Driver only - This tour is essentially just a driver taking you to different places, mentioning the name, and offering to take a picture of your family (though he did not accompany us up to the Chureito Pagoda, so we were on our own there). If you’re interested in learning history or any interesting facts about the landmarks on this tour, do not go on this one. If you just want a friendly chauffeur who knows where to go, then this tour will work.

Not the Experience we were Hoping For - The views were amazing, the day spectacular with no cloud, and we were excited to see Mount Fuji, however our guide was very disappointing. His English was extremely limited and the most information we received all day was the age of the buildings we saw and how many stairs up to the top of one walk. The designated stops (we werent taken to all) were pretty and offered great views although we had to refer back to the booking to know details of each.
The driver insisted on picking us up an hour earlier than booked, and used back roads that were windy, slow and rough to save toll money. Upon returning to our hotel, he became very animated that I wouldn't review him there and then so he could screen shot my review.
My recommendation would be to ask for/ensure a Japanese local tour guide as most local tour guides throughout our trip in Japan were knowledgeable and delightful to engage with enhancing our cultural learning of this beautiful country.
