Nearly ruined by the Roadworks... but still worth doing - You know it's weird. The trains run like clockwork. But the motorway towards Mt Fuji is terrible. And likely to continue for the next year or so as the main highway is under reconstruction for the foreseeable. And this is, was and will be a problem. So think carefully if you want to add another 4 plus hours to your day travelling at 10kph. Not Tour company fault. But I reckon there should be some warning by the guide to give you a heads up. I knew sadly the outcome out and back because Google Maps showed the queues. Mit' the guide missed a trick here... And and I think Viator/VIP Tour/HEG should make mention in joining instructions and/or when booking to manage frustrated expectations for people like me. Anyway most of the negatives out of the way. The joining process simple enough. No flag so you may have to hunt the rep. Coach good. Mit' the Guide good. Lunch stop far too early at 1140 but was this as a rework due to traffic? Food good, but not outstanding. Hardly VIP, but hey. Stops fine, weather fine and then a lovely (not) drive back some 2.5 hours late. Mistake stopping for 20 mins on return at some random service station when nobody wanted to stop, particularly as some missed their onward connections in Tokyo... So yes good, but not great. 4 generous for what was a long day. For me, if there was a next time, the train would win out. Sorry...

Book it! - The tour with Mitz is really great. They give you enough time at each spot without rushing. The only downfall was that is took 3 hours to get there and almost 4 hours to get home.

Comfortable transportation without much of a guide - The bus transportation was comfortable, with ample of legroom on the bus. During our 10-hour tour our guide Michael shared logistical updates about how long we were stopping for, and where the washrooms were, but did not provide any commentary like you would expect from a tour guide. During the entire tour literally his only piece of commentary was ‘On the left side you see Lake Kawaguchiko, a big lake around Mt Fuji’. Zero facts about Mt Fuji, or information like why the mountain is covered by clouds most of the time. At several of the stops we had to figure out what there was to see and why this was a relevant stop. With the guide we had this was simply a transportation service between different points of interest, but you couldn’t call this a guides tour.

Disrespectful tourists - The two men in front of us reclined their seats very far back and the seats were resting on our legs. My husband’s has double knee replacement.The two men completely reclined on our legs for the 2 hours to and from Mr Fuji . I do not speak their language but I know etiquette requires no translation
