My mistake but it worked out OK. - We were looking forward to seeing the Imperial Gardens, but they were closed on Friday..Our guide Yukari tried to contact me to see if we could change the date, but I missed the e-mail and call. We made the best of it and enjoyed a nice walk outside the palace mote.

Not worth it - This tour was excruciatingly slow and poorly managed. We learned little more than the info on posted signs. The guide was soft spoken and difficult to hear. He began speaking without gathering the group so other conversations distracted from the information provided. Save your time and $40 and guide yourself.
