Itinerary

Thingvellir National Park
30 min

Þingvellir National Park – A UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between two continents! Explore dramatic landscapes formed by the shifting tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. This is also the historic site of Iceland’s first parliament, founded in 930 AD. We’ll enjoy an easy and scenic walk through the rift valley, surrounded by stunning nature and fascinating history.

60 min

Geysir Geothermal Area – We will spend about one hour exploring this incredible geothermal field, home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts impressively every few minutes. You’ll have time to walk around the area, take in the natural beauty, and capture amazing photos. We will also enjoy our lunch here in a nearby restaurant with views of the geothermal landscape.

40 min

Gullfoss Waterfall – Known as the “Golden Waterfall,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. You’ll witness the powerful two-tiered cascade plunging into a deep canyon, creating misty rainbows on sunny days. We’ll take a walk along the viewing paths to experience the waterfall up close from different angles, and you’ll have plenty of time for photos and to enjoy the breathtaking views.

Admission not included25 min

Kerid Crater – A striking volcanic crater lake with vibrant red and black slopes surrounding a deep blue pool at the bottom. We’ll take a short walk around the rim, offering amazing views and photo opportunities. You can also walk down to the water level to experience the peaceful atmosphere from inside the crater. It’s a perfect blend of geology and beauty – a true highlight of the Golden Circle.

Scam

We had 4 grown adults. They showed up with a station wagon. Tried to charge more for a larger car. The tour guide did not tell us anything. We had to ask where we were going because he provided no information. It was a taxi ride

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take every guest’s comments seriously and reviewed the details of your booking and the GPS records from the day of the tour. According to our booking records, your reservation was made for a sedan vehicle, and therefore a sedan was provided for your group of four adults, in accordance with the booked service. You requested a larger van on the day of the tour. We clearly explained that upgrading to a larger vehicle would require an additional charge. You did not accept the additional cost. As an alternative, we offered to arrange a van through another company at no additional tour-guide service, and you accepted this option. Regarding the tour itself, our GPS records confirm that the driver took you to the locations included in your booked itinerary. We therefore cannot agree with the statement that the service was simply a taxi ride. It is also important to clarify that the option you accepted was transportation without a tour guide. A driver providing transportation is not the same service as a professional guided tour, where the guide provides detailed information and commentary about each attraction. Since the guided-tour service was not accepted, we cannot reasonably be held responsible for the lack of guided commentary. We respect your feedback, but we also want to make sure that the review accurately reflects what was booked, what was offered, and what service was ultimately accepted and provided. Thank you again for your feedback.

Thoughtful Driver

The sites were incredible and our driver, Valinca, was more than competent and very kind. So much so that I mistakenly left my hat in the vehicle at the conclusion of the tour, and he returned it to my hotel later that evening. That was above and beyond normal expectations. Thank you, Vaninca and Hyper Taxi!

Operator response

Dear Pfahie, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour, and we’re especially happy Valinca could return your hat. We truly appreciate your support!

Great way to visit the Golden Circle at your own pace

A great way to visit each of the top sites along the Golden Circle. Our driver picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at each site, allowing us as much time as we wanted to enjoy each location. This was not a guided tour, but our driver, Valinca, had been to each location and was able to recommend the best way for us to spend our time at each site. We had an enjoyable time throughout the day and Valinca could not have been more helpful. He was also pleasant to visit with and helped make our day a great one!

Operator response

Dear Baldu, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Golden Circle. It’s especially great to know that Valinca was helpful, friendly, and made sure you had the flexibility to enjoy each location at your own pace. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Iceland in the future!

Wonder private tour of Iceland

Sayer was fabulous and very professional . He picked us up at our cruise port in Iceland in a nice size clean van, and was 15 minutes early. He was waiting on us when we departed the terminal, help with our luggage, and very polite. He explained our itinerary for the day and showed us all the high points of Iceland. At the end of our tour, he delivered us to our hotel. I highly recommend Sayer.

Operator response

Dear Daine, Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! It was a pleasure having you with me and showing you the highlights of Iceland. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience, and I hope to see you again someday!

The Best Customer Service.

We truly appreciate Viator of their full understanding and accommodating our group’s changes. The change was made in less than 12 hours before the trip. It was not an easy situation as the schedule changes due to different agendas and the local weather. Viator worked with us promptly and professionally. We are so pleased of the trip even the weather was not an ideal situation. The driver, Valinca, was so accommodating and worked with our schedule. Big Kudos to Valinca and Viator.

Operator response

Dear Boardin, Thank you for your kind words and for choosing us. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour despite the weather, and we're glad our team could make your experience a memorable one. We look forward to seeing you again!

Private Golden Circle Tour

Taking a private tour was the way to go. See the beautiful sites without the rush or waiting for 40 people to get off the bus!!! The Golden Circle is a must see.

Operator response

Dear Brenda, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the private Golden Circle tour. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Iceland!

Nice driver

Our driver was very friendly, very accomodating and we felt safe with his driving. However, we certainly didn't get any knowledge of Iceland from him, we may as well have just booked a taxi to take us arouind. A friend went on one recently and also go a guide in with their tour, they learned all sorts. We thought that is what we were getting but sadly that was not the case.

Operator response

Dear Joanna, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing to book your tour with us. We truly appreciate your comments and are pleased to hear that you found our driver friendly and felt safe throughout the journey. We would like to clarify that we offer different tour packages, including options with a professional guide and driver-only tours without a guide. According to your booking details, the tour you reserved was a non-guided package, which is why a driver was assigned rather than a licensed tour guide. Please note that all of our drivers are highly experienced, professional, and safety-focused, and their primary responsibility is to ensure a smooth and secure travel experience. In-depth historical and cultural commentary is provided in our guided tour packages, which must be selected at the time of booking. Additionally, our driver informed us that during much of the tour, you and your companions were engaged in phone conversations and discussions among yourselves inside the vehicle, which also limited opportunities for interaction. We regret if there was any misunderstanding regarding the type of service booked, and we always encourage guests to contact us prior to the tour if they would like to upgrade to a guided experience. We would be more than happy to arrange that. Thank you again for your reservation and your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide an experience that fully meets your expectations
