Kyoto Customized Private Tour by Car — Guide Keiko

Title: What Is a 6-Hour Private Kyoto Tour by Vehicle Like? A Government-Licensed Guide's Report

I guided a group visiting Kyoto, and one member of the group used a wheelchair, so I guided them using the wheelchair-accessible routes throughout the tour. For lunch, since one of the guests wanted to eat ramen, we had lunch at a ramen restaurant recommended by the driver that had a parking lot where the taxi could park. Depending on the taxi driver, an extension fee may be charged if the tour exceeds six hours, so I explained the possibility of an extension fee to the guests in advance. However, the driver on this tour said that no extension fee would be required as long as we went over by no more than 30 minutes, so although we ran about 10 minutes over, the tour ended with no extension fee. As they were all part of one group, they moved at a pace that accommodated the person using the wheelchair. All of the requested destinations were popular spots with many tourists, and the guests were surprised by the large crowds.

Below, the guide fee is listed as 22,000 JPY, but above it is listed as 20,000 JPY. Which is the correct information?
