Guide was knowledgeable enough, but his politics and consistent talk of them were off putting. My wife couldnt wait until it was over.
Overall we were disappointed in this tour since we saw less of Japanese gardens but heard more about the guide's knowledge of Shintoism and Buddhism. The tour did not start off on the best note because we had a meeting time 30 minutes than the guide had. Fortunately he had waited and we were quite early for the time on our documentation.
The ONLY reason I signed up for this tour was the fact that I am very, very interested in Japanese gardens and landscapes. I was looking forward to an in-depth explanation from our scholar. As it turned out I was highly disappointed with the quality of this tour. I paid 2.5 times the advertised rate, by far the most expensive of our Japanese tours, and therefore my expectations were correspondingly high. Not only was the tour expensive but I also had to pay all the entrance and transport costs on top. It was a rip-off. The first question I was asked was what on the tour especially interested me. Well, the clue is in the title Japanese Gardens and Landscape. I saw a forlorn look and heard from our scholar: well I dont know much about gardens. It turned out that I knew more than the so-called scholar did! Was I interested in Buddhism? The only real advantage of having the guide was in getting from one garden to the next. Shelling out 440 for two for this walk was totally unreasonable and excessive. We could have done it by ourselves for a fraction of the cost
It was very good. The guide showed a lot of knowledge on his topic and I learnt a lot
