It's true that 119.1e2 exempts small-plane local sightseeing flights from
part 119, but I don't see how it exempts them from part 135. It does exempt
them from 135.1a1, which refers back to part 119. But part 135's scope also
includes 135.1a5, which applies specifically to local sightseeing, with no
mention of part 119.

My vague understanding is that Part 119's purpose is to determine the
applicability of Part 135/121 to flights. So being exempted from Part
119 is to be exempted from Part 135/121.
