If there are two kinds of relationships between work and people, some people work just to support their families and get the job done, while others feel like they are called by a mission. Anyone who has come into contact with him at work can feel his passion and deep respect for this job.
Then Mr. Liu Rui, our tour guide for the "A Song of Ice and Fire" Iceland trip from February 2 to 7, is undoubtedly the second type.
We are very honored to have witnessed Mr. Liu Rui's awe, enthusiasm and dedication to this job twice in a month. Once in the Aegean Sea, and the other time, in this unique "alien" place on the earth that is constantly surrounded by the North Atlantic and Gulf Streams.
He really loves Iceland, and he conveys his love to every group member without reservation. Everyone feels and shares this enthusiasm. His company has added a lot of color to our 6-day trip to Iceland. It is no exaggeration to say that without Liu Rui, the Iceland we saw would not be so beautiful, so shocking, and so breathtaking!
As a tour guide, Liu Rui is talented! I believe all his group members will have this consensus. He seemed to be born for this profession, born to share Iceland with more people.
In terms of explanation, his approach is very different, with a rich voice and emotions that are irresistible. He shared with us his personal experiences and experiences in Iceland throughout the whole process, showing us a comprehensive Iceland, with scenery in addition to the itinerary. In addition to being surprised by his understanding of Iceland, we are also full of yearning for the Iceland he mentioned that we have never seen or experienced this time! If Liu Rui participated in the itinerary design of our "A Song of Ice and Fire" Iceland South Tour, we would all like him to design a trip around the island or the east and north, even if it can only be done in summer. I believe that all our group members will be willing to continue to follow him, follow ruilongtravel, and experience the different scenery he showed us through language this time, those experiences that he said were either shining or mysterious, everything is so irresistible.
In terms of the itinerary, the arrangement is well-organized. In the winter when the weather conditions were relatively bad, Liu Rui took us on the "Game of Thrones" itinerary, and the arrangements for each day were perfect. Even on the days when the one-way drive to the ice lake was more than 3.5 hours, we did not feel that the 4 hours were long at all. Liu Rui not only used his interesting explanations and experience sharing to make us listen attentively, but also stopped from time to time at some places worth staying (rather than rest points such as general gas stations). Those different subarctic deserts and volcanic landforms not only murdered the film everywhere, but also produced countless large films, and made us not feel that the journey was long and boring. Almost every ten minutes, a new landform was changed. Liu Rui would remind everyone to pay attention to the observation. There were different scenery, animals, sunrises, sunsets on the roadside... He would remind everyone to pay attention one by one, so that we would not miss any scenery. This trip to Iceland, with Liu Rui's company, can be said to be an "extreme journey".
In terms of details, Liu Rui's passion for Iceland and the profession of tour guide was also fully demonstrated in this trip. Generally speaking, is it only when you travel by car that you can choose the music you want to listen to and that is suitable for the situation? But our bus tour also has it this time! And they are all carefully selected by our tour guide Liu Rui. Based on his understanding of Iceland, he has selected music suitable for Iceland and exclusive to Iceland. He burned it into a CD to accompany us throughout the trip, creating an atmosphere, lyrics... What Liu Rui did was not only to take care of everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation on this trip, but also to pay attention to everyone's vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch... all-round feelings. If he was not passionate about this profession and this land, he would not be able to do it!
There is a scene in this trip that has been deeply imprinted in my mind-Liu Rui stood in front of a scenic spot sign, braving the whistling wind, and repeatedly reminded the group members who walked in front of him loudly, beware of danger. There are various dangerous icons on the sign that may occur at this scenic spot. Liu Rui's seriousness at this moment is something we have never seen in the whole trip. He had always been gentle before, but his seriousness at this time made everyone feel nervous.
This is a place that is not on the itinerary. Danger has occurred there before. Every year, people die or go missing there, but many group members strongly request to go there.
Go? Or not?
I have no idea whether Liu Rui had any entanglements in his mind at that time. If he goes, he will not only have to take risks that may be unimaginable, but he will also need to patiently communicate with the driver for a long time. After all, the drivers of the two previous groups refused to go, and he needed to patiently explain the guests' requirements to the driver. I believe that our driver finally agreed to his request because of his trust in Liu Rui, the tour guide. Their cooperation made the driver trust him, and finally let our Polish driver agree to drive us through a bumpy muddy road, cross bridges and pits, and take everyone deep into the glacier.
If he didn't go, Liu Rui could certainly be at ease, but those group members would have a permanent regret in their hearts. No one comes to Iceland without a long journey, and no one wants to leave regrets. Fortunately, we have Liu Rui. His final decision satisfied everyone's wishes, but his seriousness and vigilance throughout the whole process also made us aware of the responsibility he assumed. Fortunately, everyone believed in this Iceland travel expert certified by the Icelandic National Tourism Board. The group members did not do what he said not to do, and did not go to places that could not be visited. Finally, we had a safe "ultimate journey".
I am really grateful for Liu Rui's company during these six days. In the WeChat group of "blockbuster" and Aurora that Liu Rui built for everyone, the group members expressed their willingness to follow Liu Rui to continue exploring more unknown lands. This is the voice of all of us.
I really hope that in the future, I can still follow Liu Rui and "ruilongtravel Tour" with such a dedicated tour guide, and set off together!

Alien journey, conscientious production! Iceland, stunning eyes, shocking soul. Volcanoes and the Atlantic Ocean have been together for tens of millions of years, they are so violent, and so quiet; the mysterious aurora looks at the thousand-year-old glaciers, witnessing the fearlessness and wisdom of the Vikings; countless streams in the tundra stretching to nowhere silently tell the endless life here; all of this outlines the outline of this volcanic island on the edge of the Arctic Circle, and makes me bow down to nature countless times in my heart! Handsome guide Liu Rui, like N times, capitalized and bold! He is the best tour guide my companions and I have ever met, no one else! "How wonderful the journey is depends on who you travel with", the careful design of the route makes the journey gradually better, with constant surprises, reluctant to leave, deeply feel his efforts and intentions, but can only look forward to coming again next time! Even if it’s not Iceland, I look forward to setting off with Ruidao again, from Norse mythology to European politics, from marine life to the formation of the earth’s crust, from the recitation of “A Brief History of the Earth” to “Happy Birthday to You”, from major discount villages in Europe to the acceptance of credit cards in Icelandic toilets, and so on and so forth. In short, the journey with him is wonderful!

The tour guide was very handsome and professional! He contacted me the day before I boarded the plane to confirm the pick-up time and reminded me of the precautions for coming to Iceland. He was very considerate and considerate, and he was a very nice person. The weather was not good this time in Iceland. Although I was a little disappointed that I didn't see the aurora, I still had a lot of fun. Thank you to Tour Guide Liu for his careful care and wonderful explanations along the way. I learned a lot of knowledge and shared high-quality photos with everyone for everyone to share on WeChat Moments! A very unforgettable trip! !

The tour guide was great, handsome and suave, took great photos, and told great stories. He was the best storyteller among all the tour guides I know. He talked about the origin of Iceland, its economy, European history, sports and entertainment. During the several-day bus trip, I fell asleep to the guide's stories and woke up again.

The tour guide's stories on the bus were quite interesting. But we didn't have any lunch. The driver drove so steadily on such a snowy day, he was really an experienced driver! The attractions were also great! ! ! ! ! ! Except for the last day, we basically just took the trip to make up the days.

Tour guide Zheng Fang has a wide range of knowledge and talked about many things about Iceland. She is also very friendly and can get along well with us. We all like her. In addition to the unavoidable weather, I feel that the driver and tour guide have done a good job on this trip to Iceland. We also had a lot of fun.

I think the relationship in the group is great. This is the best group I have ever been with. In the future, I will choose ruilongtravel and Zheng Fang as tour guides. I hope you will praise Zheng more.

I have always liked independent travel, but this was my first time traveling with a tour group, which broke my conventional view of tour groups. I have to say that I got along very well with the group members. The tour guide talked to us about Iceland like our little sister, and played games with us every night. I have already made an appointment with my friends to sign up for Zheng Fangjie's tour group again next Christmas!
