Details
Take a bus tour of the Golden Circle from Reykjavik for eight hours to see the best of southwest Iceland. Go to the Gullfoss Waterfall's cascades and the stunning Geysir area. In Þngvellir National Park, you can see where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia meet.
Go to the Geysir geothermal area. Wonder as the dynamic natural aquifer of Strokkur rambles steaming water 30 meters high up every 8 minutes like clockwork.
Continue on to the Gullfoss Waterfall (also known as the "Golden Falls"), one of Iceland's most famous landmarks. As the glacial River Hvitá descends into a 32-meter-deep crevice, feel the spray of its waters.
Enter Þingvellir National Park, where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia are separating at a rate of a few centimeters per year, is the next step.
In 2004, Þngvellir was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural significance. It is home to the Rock of Law, which served as the first Viking parliament, as well as a stunning rift valley.
On your drive around the Golden Circle, take in the volcanic crater at Lake Kerið and the Icelandic farms in the south before returning to your starting point in Reykjavik.

We enjoyed how the tour guide added two stops to the tour because we were doing so good on time. She was very informative and really wanted each person to enjoy their time. While tours like this can be rushed she understood that people do want their time at each place. Great experience!

Great experience! Myself and my boyfriend were looking for a day out to hit some of the famous landmarks and this one did not disappoint. Jacob was a brilliant tour guide with endless knowledge of Iceland and some great added stories. The whole day was planned out perfectly with a stop for lunch. This is a full day out leaving at 10.30am and arriving back at where we’d been dropped off at about 7pm. All in all a great day out, would highly recommended

I spent an amazing day discovering the Golden Circle in Iceland ! Our guide was really nice, with a lot of explanations (but not too much !) in the bus. The time spent in each place can be short, but it is the main and classical inconvenient to do the Golden Circle in 1 day. I recommend this excursion to enjoy Iceland nature in one day !

An highly recommended day out. This recent trip was the 2nd Golden Circle Tour for me this year. The first was back in January. For the most part the August weather conditions were good right up until the last stop when it started to rain hard. An unexpected stop at a local farm was the highlight of the day for me as we were able to feed some Icelandic Horses. Mia and Tomasz were great hosts on the day as well. Love the little stories and facts about Iceland between stops.

It was really nice whole day trip. Jona and driver Tomek were great guides. I really like that they will tell you not just about the sights you are about to see but everything from local history to personal experience and advices... It was really nice and fun day, you get enough time also to buy food/snacks/use toilet and at the same time to see everything as promised and even more. You get just enough time to explore the sights but at the same time how much you decide to walk around, is up to you. You will see places which are definitely worth to see and experience when in Iceland.

Monika and Kalaman gave us an amazing day. My only criticism would be time given at the crater was too short for anyone less than the supper fit to walk round top and bottom of crater an extra 30 to 45 min would have given most people chance to do this once in a lifetime experience again the waterfall another 15 mins would have made the world of difference

We had an amazing day with Monika, our tour guide, and Andrew, our driver. The day was well spent and it was so nice to let someone else do the driving for us in case a little napping was needed. Monika put a lot of time and energy into sharing great information about each place we visited. I liked her spin on incorporating local music into her presentation. Overall, it was a great day with incredible sights I'll always remember.

Leona was fabulous. Very organized. We saw so much; it was mind boggling. My only criticism was the boarding process. Chaotic and very frustrating. Multiple buses parked in several places. Hoards of cruise ship passengers trying to find their tour. It was a real mess.

The tour is exactly in line with the description: so the expectations will be satisfied during the trip! The different stops allow the participants to see spectacular views and attractions of Iceland, furthermore the cherry on top is the clear explanations and kindness of the touristic guide

It was a wonderful experience. Our guide Perla and driver Magic did an excellent job. I enjoyed very much Perla's commentaries which were interesting, funny, informative, and sometimes including her personal episodes. Good balance between commentary time and tranquility (music) time. And many thanks for the small additional stops by a beautiful river, ice cream farm, horse farm.
