Rita has been very helpful and provided clear tips on items worth buying and also animals worth seeing at the Zoo.
Sophia was a nice and informative guide. She shared tons of great information about food in Sapporo and about the culture of Japanese girls when they visit the Blue Pond - posing with blue ice cream by the pond (which was a cute fun fact). We truly enjoyed the tour with her.
There are interesting places on the itinerary. Do note, however, that there is a driver provided, not so much a guide. So, it would help if you read up a little on the places - like what explains the blue pond at Shirogane.
