Itinerary
Your Adventure begins when your experienced guide picks you up in a comfortable minibus in the morning to explore the famous Golden Circle.
Few locations in the world provide a finer and clearer perspective of this vast geographic activity than Thingvellir National Park, home to one of the most amazing natural wonders in the world: tourists can observe the effects of two moving tectonic plates: the North American and Eurasian ones. The national park is frequently referred to as "The Galapagos of the North" because it is also home to Iceland's largest natural lake and is home to a wide variety of fish and bird species! Thingvellir, the location of the parliament's founding in 930 AD, is deeply ingrained in Icelandic national history. The translation of "Thingvellir" is "Parliament Plains." Because of this, the park is a must-visit location for anybody interested in Icelandic history or culture.
Often referred to as "Iceland's Bluest Waterfall," this waterfall is a true hidden gem nestled within Iceland's most breathtakingly secretive surroundings. Its size may seem little in comparison to other waterfalls, and the sound of its waters flowing over lava rocks transports you to a place of unparalleled tranquility! Its smooth waters produce an ethereal image of the environment, and its sapphire blue hues create a striking contrast with the vivid green of the surrounding moss and the dark lava rocks they slide over. It's a charming spot ideal for photographers and environment enthusiasts looking to get a closer look at Iceland's unspoiled landscape.
Next, we'll head for The Golden Waterfall, one of Iceland's most magnificent waterfalls! The breathtaking "Golden Falls" are formed when the melting water of Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull, pours into a deep canyon. On clear days, you can even see Langjökull in the distance, as the waterfall's mist creates a stunning rainbow effect. This is an ideal spot for a breathtaking photo opportunity!
Kerid is a volcanic crater well-known for its striking color contrast. This 6.500-year-old volcano crater in South Iceland is the ideal side trip from the Golden Circle. Picture yourself positioned above a crater formed by volcanic eruptions, where distinctive red volcanic rocks cascade down a slope that is 270 meters in circumference, 170 meters broad, and 55 meters deep. Visitors can get a closer look at this shallow lake, which still has much of its caldera intact, by taking a short trek along the crater's edge. The minerals in the surrounding soil give blue water its aquamarine hue. Bright green moss envelops the lake, save for the cliffs of red volcanic rocks. Reykjanes peninsula and Langjökull Glacier are both located in the Western Volcanic Zone, which features Kerid, one of Iceland's three most recognizable volcanic craters.
We will be heading back to Reykjavik downtown at around 5 p.m., although the order of our itinerary and the time of our return could alter depending on the state of the roads and the weather.

Iskren did a nice job! Very calming experience, well paced, very good english!
Isk was very informative and polite. Qas a great way to get around and see all the different beautiful landscapes of iceland
What a great day! Our guide Bjorn was an absolute font of interesting information about the landscape, geology, history and folk stories. Really engaging, with a clear love for Iceland, the geology and making sure people getting the most out of their day. He stopped off at unscheduled places to show us interesting features and particularly nice views. We did two full-day tours during our trip and both were great, but Bjorn gave us way more info. Tip: you might want to take lunch, the lunch stop restaurant is expensive even by Iceland standards (soup was £17-19).
Vidir was helpful and knowledgeable. The day ran smoothly. He was really friendly. He shared a professional account and anecdotes brought the tour to life. We had a wonderful experience and can’t wait for our next tour on Wednesday. Thank you!
Very good guide and driver Bjorn. We have a great time and good schedule for a whole day. Will recommend to everyone!
Bjorn was a fantastic driver and we had a wonderful day of site seeing with him. Lots of stunning waterfalls, a crater and stunning views! We were in two continents in one day!
Bjorn is very funny guide. He give us so many funny thing.
Bjorn was fab…learn a lot about the country of Iceland and the geological forces that have carved the landscape of the country.
I had such a wonderful experience on this tour! Our guide, Bjorn, was incredibly patient, kind, and funny. He shared so many interesting stories about Iceland and made the whole journey both fun and memorable. He was also very thoughtful and always happy to help us take cute and funny photos! You can really tell that he cares about everyone in the group. Bjorn is such a warm, friendly, and reliable person who made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. Thank you so much, Bjorn, for making this day so special! I would definitely recommend this tour! ❤️
good experience!fully commend
We had a wonderful Golden Circle tour today! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed visiting the waterfalls, geysers, and national park. A special thanks to our guide, Bjorn, who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He shared many interesting stories about Iceland’s history, nature, volcanoes, and local life, which made the journey even more enjoyable. It was a lovely experience, and we would definitely recommend this tour!
Bjorn (Our guide) was amazing! He shared so many interesting stories and informations about iceland throughout the trip. He was also incredibly thoughtful, he would slow down the car so we could take photos and even take us to a few extra scenic spots along the way. It was such a wonderful day!
Great experience, my wife and i were very happy with the tour and the Guide Björn, he is such an amazing, funny and knowldgeable guide, he made our experience even smoother. Highly recommend
Sveinbjorn Gudjohnsen made the tour fantastic! I have been on many tours around the world and this was by far one of the best. High recommend and would do this trip again! He was funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, and just the best ever! Cannot say enough positive things!! He was fabulous!!
Vidir was our guide for the Golden circle tour and he made this such a great experience . He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the drives to each place interesting. I highly recommend this tour
Vidir was a great guide! He was informative, helpful, and made the process smooth. He timed it out well and gave us time to enjoy while fitting everything into our day. I really enjoyed the smaller group atmosphere! It was a GORGEOUS tour and WOW the views! I got to pet and feed Icelandic horses which was AMAZING!
Vitir our tour guide is very knowledgeable, and so helpful. He shows us around so that we can have a brief idea of the spot, throughout the drive he explains about the places we passed so well that I learnt a lot about Iceland. Surely worth recommending to my family and friends!
Had a great experience in the golden circle, we had Juliana ans our tour guide and she was very helpful and informative. Thoroughly recommend!
High value for what i pay for and the guide has excellent advice on how to get photo
Virdird was excellent - history, geology, lore, foreshadowing upcoming places. A truly exceptional tour. Made me think of TRØLLABUNDIN // Eivør & Danish National Symphony!
I recently took the Golden Circle, Brúarfoss, and Kerið day tour with Troll Expeditions, and overall it was a fantastic experience. From start to finish, the logistics were smooth. Finding the pickup bus stop in Reykjavik was easy and hassle-free, and the bus itself was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—which makes a big difference on a full-day tour. A huge shoutout to our guide, Ionut! He was absolute perfection—exceptionally well-organized, strictly on time, and extremely friendly. Throughout the drive, Ionut shared detailed insights into Iceland’s geology, local history, culture, and lesser-known facts about the sites we passed. His commentary went well beyond a standard script and gave me a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the island. The highlight stops were breathtaking, especially Brúarfoss with its vivid blue waters and the vibrant Kerið volcanic crater. A delightful bonus was the stop at the Icelandic horse farm—getting up close to the horses was an awesome touch that made the itinerary feel extra special! My only constructive feedback is regarding the timing at Þingvellir National Park. Because the park has so much historical and geological significance, it felt a bit rushed, and I would have loved an extra 20–30 minutes there to explore the trails and rift valley fully. Despite that minor pacing detail, I highly recommend this tour—and specifically asking for Ionut if you can! Thank you, Troll Expeditions, for a memorable day.
Excellent sites, easy meetup, knowledgeable guide, Hilgar. Good rest stop as well. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Reykjavik
the scenery was amazing and stunning! the tour guide Bjørn is really nice! very enthusiastic and energetic! he even taught us Icelandic language. i had a fantastik day that day, hope next time i went to iceland i can still be on his minibus tour.
Vidir did a great job as our guide. We had a good time and truly enjoyed the trip
Our guide Bjord was really amazing! He explained a lot of things with a sense of humour, which often filled the entire bus with laughter. If I had the opportunity, I would definetely do the tour again! The sights were gorgeous too!
This was so interesting, fun, and just the right amount of walking, and listening to the guide, who was excellent.
This tour was guided by Bjorn, an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide. His explanations were interesting and gave us a thorough understanding of the geography and culture of Iceland. He was willing to go beyond the usual. Highly recommend.
A great day! I got to see the geysir erupt after two decades of having it on my bucket list - what a gorgeuous phenomenon! Our guide Viðir was fun, very professional, present and it felt like he really cared about our experience during the tour. Safe and sound back to Reykjavik with a phone full of pictures. :)
Our bus arrived promptly at our bus stop 6. Didir our driver and guide for the day gave us the history of Iceland en route to our locations. He joined us when exploring the various stops or pointed us in the right direction. Didir continued his prompt timing throughout the day so we were able to enjoy the tour as scheduled (in reverse) so avoiding crowding at some of the stops. Beautiful scenery. An enjoyable day. Thank you Troll and Didir.
We had a very good experience with our guide, Sveinbjorn Gudjohnsen. He was very caring and attentive, and gave us excellent explanations throughout the tour. He also played music on the bus that perfectly matched the moments and the atmosphere, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The atmosphere throughout the tour was great. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend him!
Bjorn was a wonderful guide for our trek around the Golden Circle. The scenery is stunningly beautiful. Definitely a must do tour.
Outstanding tour of the golden circle! Our guide Bjorn Gudjohnsen was informative, engaging, funny and an excellent driver. He gave us extra time at a few of the stops and created an extra pit stop/ ice cream stop for us. I’d highly recommend this tour (and Bjorn!) for anybody interested in an educational and fun trip.
Bjorn was friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous, as well as accommodating to our many requests. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful trip! Even though it was a rainy day, the weather gave the landscape a different kind of beauty and made the experience even more atmospheric. A special thanks to Víðir for being such a fantastic guide. His knowledge of Iceland is truly impressive, and he shared so many interesting stories and facts in such a natural and engaging way. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the whole journey. Highly recommended!
The bus was comfortable. The guide/driver was friendly and narrated helpfully as he drove. All of the sights were interesting (although Gullfoss was by far my favorite). My one complaint was that there was very little guidance at each stop. We were mostly dropped off, told to be back at the bus at a specific time, and left to our own devices. From the tour description, I would have thought that the guide would serve as more of an interpreter at each location we visited.
Did this with guide Víðir. Really knowledgeable, great stops, enough time given, supportive with the different abilities of the group. Happy to answer questions. Made the day enjoyable All costs apart from food included Suitable for all.
This trip felt great, with beautiful scenery and no additional expenses. The entire day was full but not tiring, and the tour guide was very humorous and friendly.
Wonderful tour. “Bear” was a great guide. He obviously loves this country and was very knowledgeable. He had great local stories and sense of humor. Beautiful landscapes. Highly recommend
This is a wonderful journey with our nice tour guide Bjorn, who brought us humorous and delightful moments, the views along the way are fantastic, with a detailed introduction to Iceland’s geography and natural history, this can be rated as one of my favorite group tour experiences
I think it's really a nice trip and our guide is a cool girl. Everything is perfect.
good. I really enjoy the day tour. She is so nice and charming, makes us feel happy and warm at the Iceland.
A short day tour from Reykjavik. We are lucky to have a sunny day, the landscape and the waterfalls are gorgeous
Bjorn is a good guide. Very funny and helpful
Bjorn is a good guide and was really nice and funny
We had a lot of great time in this tour. The guide is super knowledgeable, and he shared a lot of geographical and historical information. Our guide is Bidir. He is super friendly. He remind us where the restroom is at every stops.
Vidir was a very friendly and helpful guide. Tour went to a number of interesting places.
The Golden Circle is an essential tour when visiting Iceland. The history, scenery, everything is breathtaking. This itinerary is very thoughtfully planned and hits all of the essentials and a couple places i had never seen before. Our guide, Víðir, was very personable, helpful, and knowledgeable and made the tour even better.
Beautiful trip! Definitely recommend, Vidir is a wonderful tour guide, and it is very nice to be shown Iceland by a true native. Also his music is great!
Thank you to our guide Bjorn for looking after us thoughtfully all day. He is warm and lovely, and shared countless fun local stories that made my first day in Iceland full of joy. Wishing him all the best, and he is welcome to visit China whenever.🥰🥰
