Mount Fuji Private Tour
Hello All,
We are a party of 4 adults and have booked a private tour from Tokyo to Mt Fuji and the surrounding areas for the day in March, the booking as been made via the app Get Your Guide. The tour operator is Dozou Tours. Has anyone used them before / provide a review or do you know of a better Mt Fuji tour we could do. Thanks in advance
Any particular reason for selecting a private tour vs touring it on your own?

Hello Dave, just the convenience of it, not 100% certain where to start to tour for the day on our own? Including transportation

There is a company calling themselves "Dozou Tours" which has a website offering tours of the Mt Fuji and the Tokyo area, but can't say whether its the same company which lists on GetYourGuide. This is their website: https://dozoutours.com/
In just briefly checking their website, Red Flags are apparent everywhere. For one, they do not list any type travel operator license (it is required to both have this and display this on websites operating in Japan) , they list no physical address other than "Shinjuku, Tokyo", there is no name of any staff or owner, and the contact phone number is +1 (469) ... which means it is based in Dallas Texas.
Then in clicking to book their Mt Fuji Tour shown on their homepage... well, just look at the web address URL for it and that says something pretty sketchy as well:
https://dozoutours.com/travel/highlights-of-naples-and-the-amalfi-coast/
(yes, that is the actual link)
By going through GetYourGuide there would be more assurance of having a positive result, but I would not ever consider booking anything directly via that website.
