Great tour organizer - very easy and great booking experience. We had an amazing with Kiyo around Mount Fuji. We were five kids and three adults, and she took very well care about teaching us about all the things that are important. She has a set of cards with very colorful explanations and was not shy to answer all the questions we have the kids had.
