Aissam is a wonderful tour guide and an absolute pleasure to explore with. His expertise in navigation was incredibly helpful, allowing us to visit all the places we had planned in the Mt. Fuji area. We were fortunate to have a clear day to see Mt. Fuji in all its beauty. There was even enough time to make a stop at a special location I had requested prior to the tour.
