The weather in Iceland changes quickly, and the natural landscape is magnificent and unique. Unfortunately, we encountered a big storm this time, with wind speeds reaching 47 meters per second. Some roads were closed for 2 days. Fortunately, we met an Icelandic travel expert this time. Guide Liu changed the order of the itinerary in advance according to the weather changes, so we did not miss the attractions. Guide Liu took good care of everyone along the way, had a wide range of knowledge, and his explanations were rich and interesting, covering humanities and history, sports, music, medicine, natural scenery, geology and landforms, etc., which allowed us to increase our knowledge while visiting Iceland. It was very unforgettable and worthwhile!

The overall rating is satisfactory.
The price is much cheaper than the domestic group tour. My family of three adults, excluding purchases, costs about 13,000 per person. (Of course, the air tickets were bought more than half a year in advance, and the visa was obtained from Tuniu at the lowest price)
Friendly reminder: Blue Lagoon Hot Springs must be booked in advance, especially during holidays. chinacotravel allows self-booking. Of course, you can also communicate with them through Tuniu. Let them book for you. If you don't book in advance, you may not be able to buy tickets and soak in the hot springs. Half of the people in my group didn't soak in the hot springs. They sat from 15:00 to 17:45, which was a bit depressing.
The tour guide is responsive and tries to meet all requests. He takes good care of the elderly and friends who don't speak English. He doesn't differentiate between services based on people's spending power.
He will recommend local specialties and delicacies, and won't force anything. Even if a group member asks to leave the group, he won't lose his temper because of this. He handles it according to the rules and gives appropriate assistance. This is not easy.
The basic information of the scenic spot introduction is comprehensive, but it is not very in-depth.
The arrangement is not very tight, it is quite relaxed. I left at 9 am and arrived at the hotel at 17 or 18 pm. I went there during the Spring Festival and did not stay in the town of Vik (it was full), so the driving time to the glacier lake was longer, about 3 hours one way. This is the longest driving time in the whole trip. Therefore, even the elderly can bear such a trip.
This time, because of strong winds one day, I returned to the hotel at 14:00. If you choose to travel in Iceland, you still have to know something about the local weather. It is said that there was a group that almost stayed in the hotel because of strong winds entering.
Let's talk about food first. Although it is written that the group lunch and dinner are 20 euros/meal, the tour guide actually did not organize group meals. He will provide information about surrounding restaurants. It is up to you whether to go or not and whether to eat or not. The locals have good English and are very easy-going, so you don't have to worry about ordering. If it doesn't work, you can take pictures and order.
Accommodation, clean and tidy, warm room, strong water power. The space size is average. However, you have the opportunity to see the aurora in the two hotels you stay in. Although it is not obvious to the naked eye. Because there are still many light sources around. It would be better if you live in the town of Vic. It is close to the sea, and there is no light source on the sea, so you can see it more clearly.
On the first day, the tour guide will pick you up at the airport from 16:20. Guide Li is quite humane and will not leave after a certain time. As long as it is not too late, he will still wait. On the last day, the airport is sent at 4 am, which basically does not wait for anyone. If you can't accept it, you will automatically give up. However, the airport bus is one kilometer away from the hotel, which is still convenient.
The buses used in the itinerary are basically full. Therefore, there are not many seats for transportation. But the driver drove very steadily, because it was on ice and snow, it was not easy.

Looking back on chinacotravel's Iceland tour, I have many happy and wonderful memories! Iceland has beautiful scenery, and you can take a great picture with just a few shots, which is very shocking. I would also like to thank the handsome, careful and knowledgeable Ruidao of chinacotravel Company for arranging the itinerary properly and sharing his photography works with everyone. The explanation was also very wonderful. The professional service left a deep impression on us. In the future, I will look for Ruidao and recognize chinacotravel for group tours. Five-star praise!

Tour Guide Zheng is a very competent tour guide. She arranged the itinerary reasonably, was knowledgeable, and gave thorough explanations. She braved the severe cold to accompany us to see the Northern Lights. We all praised her, and many of our group members wanted to join her tour again next time.

The most important thing about traveling is to have fun and have pleasant communication. The tour guide I like is considerate and his explanations are very meaningful. (Think about the one who told us "I will catch up with the group in a while, the trip can't wait for anyone" when we needed to go to the bathroom; we couldn't slow down with the elderly and children, and we couldn't see the tour guide at any time; we didn't tell the time of the whole trip, and we didn't take the group meal to a place where there was nothing around except the group meal. The temperature was 38 degrees, and the time was only a short 40 minutes. The Italian trip was really complaining throughout the whole trip)

The tour guide's explanation and knowledge are quite comprehensive, and he is very nice. Except for the day we had to get up early because of the long journey to the glacier lake, we could get up slowly on the other days. And the whole trip was not tense, it was very relaxing, the scenery was also beautiful, and every photo was a blockbuster. However, it is recommended that chinacotravel write a suggestion on this kind of Northern Europe tour to see the aurora, and remind tourists to bring a SLR camera and a tripod to see the aurora in winter, otherwise it is basically difficult to take pictures of the aurora. The wind is too strong, the phone can't focus, and ordinary phones can't take long exposures to shoot the aurora.
