About Tour Guide Yuka S.

“Mt. Fuji Day Tour ”

Our guide was punctual as we met her at the bus station and she was easy to find. She had the route well planned and made adjustments where we wanted. She walked us through a lovely small town where we had lunch and went paddle boating on the lake. When asked, she did a great job taking photos for us. Our biggest challenges were that her English was not that great so we misunderstood some things or were not able to ask questions. And we got to several locations on tour, she told us to meet back in an hour. If you already know the history of what you’re seeing, that works great. If your goal was to learn, then that was a missed opportunity. And she was in line ahead of us to load the bus coming back and she directed us to go to end of line. After about 15min looking at how far away we were, it was clear that we were going go be on two different buses so we just took ourselves up to where she was. If we had not done that, we would have been on 2 different buses with no clue where we were going. On the ride back, the traffic was horrible and it took the bus 5 hours to get back to Shinjuku Station. It should have been 2-2.5. That was not her fault. But had we knows traffic was that bad at that time, we would have been find leaving earlier. She said she recommended a driver. We understood a driver based on when we booked l. Again, this is probably where the language barrier was an issue.

Yesterday you were lucky to see Mt. Fuji clearly. But the traffic on the way back was the worst in my career of 25 years. There was an accident on the express way that cause our involvement of evening traffic as a result. We wanted to leave Fuji area earlier. However, I was asked for this tour just two days before and there were no buses available leaving earlier. Things were what I should explain, but no one can expect a car accident.

“Walking Tour”

We were delighted to meet Yuka in Tokyo for our two day walking tour. She was a delightful prompt friendly and informative. We had given her an extensive list of sights and she covered all. Lunches with traditional Japanese restaurants were delightful. I would highly recommend Yuka.
