    Full description

    See the best of southwest Iceland on an 8-hour Golden Circle tour by bus from Reykjavik. Visit the spectacular Geysir area, and go to the cascades of Gullfoss Waterfall. Discover where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet in Þingvellir National Park. Travel to the geothermal area of Geysir. Marvel as the active hot spring of Strokkur spouts steaming water 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.

    Continue to one of Iceland’s most iconic features at the Gullfoss Waterfall (“Golden Falls“). Feel the spray of the waters of the glacial River Hvítá as it plummets down into a 32-meter deep crevice. Next, enter Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

    Þingvellir was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural value in 2004, and is the site of a stunning rift valley and the Rock of Law, the first Viking parliament. Marvel at the volcanic crater at Lake Kerið, and pass through the Icelandic farms of the south on your drive around the Golden Circle, before returning to your original starting point in Reykjavik.

    When we went on the Golden Circle Tour, it was very windy (67 mph) which thankfully didn’t ruin the tour at all. The guide was very informative and was very cheerful/funny but at the same time, he told us all about the history of the sites we visited but he definately made the day very enjoyable. Unfortunately I can’t remember his name. The crater visit was a killer on the thighs, if you walk to the bottom, but still worth the trip down. There are plenty of toilet/cafes enroute. The only stop which didn’t have toilets/cafe was the crater, but the guide told us ahead of this stop, which was useful.

    Our tour was accompanied by Jakob, which we had a lot of fun with. He not only made the tour exciting and informative, but also very humorous. During the tour we learned a lot and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful landscape in Iceland. The tour was well timed, we had enough time at the stops and the length of the tour was perfect. We are totally in love with the landscape, thank you for the great experience!

    The tour was great! We saw lots of beautiful Icelandic scenery and the guide, Jakob, was very informative. I really enjoyed his mix of humor and historical facts. The only caution I would give is the chaotic pick up process. Bus stop 12 had many, many, many different groups for pick up for 9:00 tours. It was unclear which tour was ours. But all worked out ok and the tour was great!!
