Japanese tours are very organized! they will chat you ahead of time with itinerary details. our guide, Kevin, chats our next itinerary & meet up point. he has his own camera that he takes photo of us. if you want sceneric view and relax mode, this is the best,except hiking in the morning so wear comfy shoes.haha. we did not do the cruise, it is a good choice since you cannot explore shopping stores if you did this. one flaw, the end time is 6PM but was on city by 5P, nonetheless, this tour is a must have in sapporo.
