The Golden Circle route is the most popular tour destination from Reykjavik. It includes three Iceland's iconic destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
Gullfoss is a waterfall of the White River Hvítá. It has two steps of 11 and 21 meters and there are pulling more 100 m3 water through it at a second.
Strokkur is the little brother or the famous Geysir which not active anymore. Strokkur though is still very active blowing water up into the air every 7 to 10 minutes. At this stop can you also purchase food.
The Thingvellir are both historically and geologically a important location. Here was the first icelandic parliament founded in the late 900s and this is also the a visible division between the eurasian and the north american continental plates.
Kerið is an iconic volcanic crater of 55 meters depth. Kerið is only included in the 10:30 am departures, not later departures.

Great sights, great plan, was very happy with our tour guides presentation. A lot of detail and insight. Really helped to understand what we were seeing. Tour leaders-Darren + Pablo (driver)
Mikki was a great guide! I am hearing impaired, but had zero problems hearing him.
Mikki was an amazing tour guide. So nice and so knowledgeable.
They upgraded me to the premium tour with tomato and horse show experience for free. I was happy as the pick up point was near where I was staying but then my tour guide, Vjeran, dropped me back to my campsite at the end of the day! Vjeran clearly loves his job, he was very knowledgeable about Icelandic history which I didn’t realise I would be learning from the tour but loved it. There was a perfect balance between time with him talking and time to sit, relax and enjoy the view. Comfy chairs on the bus, delicious tomato soup at the tomato farm, stunning scenery. Vjeran was in no rush at any of the locations, we ran late so that we could spend more time looking at landmarks that are a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend each location whether on a tour or not.
Andrea was a great tour guide, very funny and charismatic! Locations were extraordinary
Terrible, you are expected to arrive on time, fine but then also arrive on time yourself. Anyway, it was a mess at the boarding place where a lot of people were waiting for the bus, a bus is coming everyone goes to that bus, a big anthill is nothing, your supervisor for that day will announce names and if you hear these you can get on the bus. Meanwhile, more buses are arriving so you go from bus to bus to see where you can board, well none of the 6 buses have our names mentioned. The buses were not yet gone and we received an email that we were not present, so we were. Immediately called and nothing was possible, but our money back but that does not make it right, it was only possible for us that day.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration caused at the pickup point. We cannot identify the full circumstances of this case from the review alone, especially as there were several vehicles operating from the same area that day. Our pickup process involves assigning guests to specific vehicles and calling names from the manifest, but we understand that this can feel confusing when multiple buses are present at the same time. As your booking was refunded, we would like to review exactly what happened before making any assumptions about the pickup. Please contact us directly with your booking reference so we can check the manifest, assigned vehicle, pickup records and communication from that day. We are sorry that you were unable to join the tour, particularly as this was the only day available to you.
Giuseppe was an awesome and very informative tour guide!
Beautiful experience and a very good day spent at the 4 sites. The time on site is a bit short sometimes, but it makes you want to come back on your own. A big thank you to Andrea, our guide, who provided us with plenty of explanations and stories about Iceland. Thank you
Beautiful experience and a very good day
Had a great trip with Youssef and Vjeran. Would do it again
