Reisroute
Onze reis begint als we vertrekken vanaf de cruiseterminal, richting Thingvellir National Park, een UNESCO-werelderfgoedlocatie en een plaats van immense historische en geologische betekenis. Hier wandelt u tussen de tektonische platen van Noord-Amerika en Eurazië, bent u getuige van de dramatische kloofvallei en leert u over het oude parlement van IJsland, Alþingi.
Vervolgens wagen we ons aan de Oxarafoss waterval, genesteld in Thingvellir. Deze pittoreske waterval stroomt vanaf de rivier de Öxará naar beneden en biedt prachtige fotomogelijkheden en een moment van rustige schoonheid te midden van het ruige landschap.
Ons avontuur gaat verder naar het geothermische gebied van Geysir, de thuisbasis van de beroemde Strokkur geiser. Bereid je voor om versteld te staan als Strokkur om de paar minuten uitbarst en een krachtige straal kokend water hoog de lucht in stuurt. Verken de omliggende warmwaterbronnen en borrelende modderpoelen, een bewijs van de vulkanische activiteit van IJsland.
Uiteindelijk komen we aan bij de majestueuze Gullfoss waterval, een van IJslands meest iconische natuurlijke attracties. Wees getuige van de Hvítá-rivier die twee dramatische lagen afdaalt in een diepe kloof, waardoor een adembenemend schouwspel van kracht en schoonheid ontstaat. De pure kracht van het water en het omliggende landschap zal u in ontzag achterlaten.

We did not have a guided tour as promised. The supposed guide was actually just a driver who was told by the tour company to fill in for the guide who didn’t show. The driver was given a script to read with about 1 paragraph per sight. He read as he drove and it was very difficult to understand what he was saying. He kept swerving over the road as he tried to read and drive at the same time. The group was very nervous and one member took the papers and microphone from him and read the script to the group. I sat behind the driver and saw him reading his messages as he was driving. Every member of the group expressed concern about the dangerous driving and disappointment about not getting a real tour. Simply not up to Viator standards.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating. We’re truly sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us, and we’ll carefully review them as we continue working to improve. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
The tour was fine once we got underway. The guide was not there when we were supposed to meet so passengers were all panicked that we were in the wrong place. Once we got the bus figured out, and were underway, we realized we could not hear the guide on the microphone , and when we could the guides accent was heavy enough that it took a little of work to understand him. It was a rare warm and sunny day, but there was no air in the bus and we got hot and sleepy. Driver cracked the roof window open, but it wasn’t enough. If the blower worked just to circulate air it would have been better. The areas were beautiful, the tour was long but covered a lot of ground. I think if this hadnt been the 3rd day in a row with long touring days it would have been different. All in all the Golden Circle is worth seeing, the tour itinerary was typical.
We’re glad you enjoyed the Golden Circle and appreciated the guide’s efforts. We’re sorry the experience wasn’t seamless at every stage, and we value your feedback as we continue improving. We’re grateful for your support and hope to welcome you again on future tours. Thank you!
Great tour! Pick up was right at the cruise terminal. Our guide Piotr was so easy going, friendly and a great guide. He shared history, personal stories and great Icelandic music. The landscape and sights are stunning- they speak for themselves!
We’re delighted you enjoyed the stunning landscapes and sights, and that Piotr made the experience memorable with his friendliness, stories, and music. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again on future tours.
Philipp was a fantastic driver and tour guide. Sitting in the passenger seat next to him, I was able to chat with him a bit. He was always friendly and happy to share information. Thanks to our good time management, we were able to make an extra stop on the return journey. If I could wish for one thing, it would be nice if he shared even more information about the area—legends, stories, myths, the new and the old... (just like on the return trip).
We’re delighted you had such a fantastic day with Philipp and appreciated his friendliness and informative guiding. It’s wonderful to hear the extra stop made the journey even more special. We truly value your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again for more memorable adventures. Thank you!
"Amazing day on the Golden Circle! Piotr was a phenomenal guide—incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. He perfectly timed our stops to beat the big tour crowds. We enjoy his presentation about the sun eclipse. His passion for Iceland is contagious. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Piotr is leading it
We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful Golden Circle experience with Piotr. His knowledge, humor, and passion for Iceland truly make the journey special, and we’re glad his timing helped you enjoy the sights without the crowds. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again. Thank you!
Peter was a great guide. Very informative and humorous. Definitely recommend him as a guide and the tour too. Our tour included the solar eclipse and this portion of the tour was well organized and protected from the rain.
Thank you for your wonderful 5‑star review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great experience with Peter. His humor, knowledge, and attentiveness make the journey truly enjoyable, and we’re glad the eclipse portion was well organized despite the rain. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and look forward to welcoming you again.
Laura was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. She is also a very safe driver on some tricky roads and road surfaces. The walk in the National Park was a fascinating start, not strenuous but requiring reasonable mobility, especially if the optional walk to the waterfall is undertaken. Laura didn’t rush us to get back on the coach but allowed everybody the time they needed. The geyser stop was impressive although the prices of refreshments was sky high, not the fault of anybody at Viator! The third scheduled stop was the Gulfoss waterfall which was hugely impressive. Again we were allowed to take our time to admire the spectacular falls and at no point were we rushed. All in all, an excellent experience, reasonably priced. Communication in organising the day by Viator was excellent and Laura was a credit to the company. Our first experience of Viator but not our last.
Thank you for your wonderful 5‑star review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Golden Circle experience and appreciated Laura’s knowledge, safe driving, and thoughtful pacing. It’s great to hear the communication and itinerary met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you again on future tours.
The day covered all that was in the itinerary and more. We were lucky to have a fine day with blue sky which enhanced our experience. The places we visited were interesting and the driver/guide clearly knew all the information including local details as he lived in the area. The only thing that was not so good was the mini bus, it was old and had no air-conditioning. Apart from that it was a lovely day out and we were given a lot of time and opportunities to explore.
I had a great time in this trip, our driver &guide Fabiola is very nice she introduced us every site we visited in detail.
Had an amazing day, with an amazing guide, Flávia!
