“一次充满历史深度与温度的京都之旅”
北泽先生非常认真负责,提前为我们规划了详细的路线,并在旅途中耐心为我们讲解了京都神社与寺庙的历史,让我们获益良多。他早上8点30分就已在酒店大厅等候,还特别准备了一份中、日、韩三国的历史时间轴,帮助我们更好地理解京都的背景文化。这一路上我们非常开心,也非常幸运能遇到他。衷心感谢他的专业与热情,如果以后还有机会,我一定还会请他再次带我们探索京都。
北澤
周映先生及其他父亲和母亲 你們好!! 非常感謝您的宝贵的反馈,获悉你們此次对我的服务非常满意,我也感到非常荣幸!! 我一般都提前30分钟到达目的地,以免让客人等待我。正如我的旅游須知上写得一样,在日本必須尊守时間、谁都要做到这个原則,何况导游! 希望下次再来京都,大阪和奈良等地和我一起欣賞日本。最好是櫻花和红叶季节为好。 再次感謝您此次特意提名,请替我向您父母问好!! 一路平安!!! 北澤 理史
