Itinerary
Kerið is an iconic volcanic crater of 55 meters depth.
The Secret Lagoon is Iceland's second most famous lagoon. It derives from a hot spring which makes it a relaxing bathing spot. A friendly reminder: Since Secret Lagoon will be closed for facility upgrades from May 13th to 23rd, we will be using Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal spa instead.
The Golden Circle is a must-see if you are travelling to Reykjavik. It covers three very different and remarkable destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
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.
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.
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.

Superb experience and our guide vjeran was incredible
Fantastic tour with Hedi and Thor! Both were incredibly welcoming, accommodating and knowledgeable. As a solo traveller, they made me feel comfortable and included from start to finish. They shared so much interesting information while keeping everything fun and enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for better guides – highly recommend!
We loved the guided tour with Heidi and captain Thor! Heidi is an amazing guide who is knowledgeable and great at storytelling. We loved all the stops, the spectacular Nature and the Secret Lagoon exceeded our expectations. Do not forget to try the cold plunge.
We had a great day with Heidi and Captain Thor. She was very informative about the history of Iceland and made it very interesting. Capt Thor even sang a song for us on the bus. I recommend this excursion with them 100%. It was an amazing day.
Captain Thor and Heidi were great guides. Very informative and nicely paced! Icelantic knowledge sharing was great.
After a bit of a shaky start arriving at Bus stop 12 before 8am as advised - it soon turned into a crowd of people all searching for their tour buses - confusion and concern followed by many. This could be improved with more information about bus visual appearance advised at booking. Wonderful and friendly tour guide who was helpful and happy to give information and advice to everyone. Incrediable sights and the weather was amazing and stayed dry for every stop for us. The Secret Lagoon was very special - and a first for us to try a spa experience like this. Thank you for a wonderful time.
Amazing! Anna and driver were great
My first tour in Iceland couldn’t have been better the Guide Sven and also the driver Robert were very friendly and helpful. The tour loads of interesting information about Iceland and was very well organized. Definitely recommend
Really interesting your. Great guide and driver (Svend and Robert). Secret Lagoon was excellent
Sven and Robert were amazing, full of knowledge and quick wit. Well worth it
Our guide Sven was very entertaining and informative!
This is a very good and worthwhile tour. The waterfall and secret lagoon were especially good.
Super the day was so nice to visit all those places that are so unique.
Sven was a great tour guide Very informative and great sense of humour The day was well worth the money and seen some amazing things Best part was relaxing in the lagoon
Sven and Robert were brilliant! The trip was so informative and we had a great time! Thank you
Andrea, was fantastic very informative and she even sang for us. Great tour, highly recommend it
We had a very fun trip. Guide Andrea was really nice and shared lot of stories throughout the trip. She told lot of stories and interesting things about Iceland which made the journey remarkable. Secret Lagoon visit was the best experience we felt. Andrea made sure that spent more time in each place we visit and helped with details etc.
Andrea and Yaroslav were incredible, smooth driving throughout, efficient, well organised, provided interesting and engaging history and geography at an understandable level, they also resolved an issue with the bus promptly without significantly delaying the tour.
The guide Andrea and the bus driver Yaro were very friendly, informative and very engaging! The weather was not on our side but we still enjoyed the tour.
We had an incredible tour guide named Andrea which made the trip fun and enjoyable. I would really recommend to anyone who would like to see the golden circle in Iceland!
Andrea was the most amazing tour host, she shared so much history and facts about Iceland but also was so funny and friendly at the same time, the journey was nice and felt so safe! She really made the journey and I would definitely book with her again! Thank you for the most amazing time ever ❤️
It was a great day tour of the golden circle and the secret lagoon. It was really well timed, we didn’t feel rushed at any of the stops. Andrea was a great guide giving lots of great info and stories during the bus rides and Yaroslav was a great driver. (We had to change bus at the start of the trip due to an issue with the doors but this was very quickly sorted and well handled)
Amazing day! Andrea was an amazing guide- so informative and fun. She’s also a great singer, which was a little added bonus. The driver was also great. Felt as safe as I could be considering the weather. Thankyou for an amazing day ☺️
Great tour and Andrea was an amazing guide! Not too busy and some lovely places. Secret lagoon was fab!
Had a great trip and Andrea and jarslav were brilliant hosts. Informative and friendly
Good tour guide and driver and the experience overall was great
Really enjoyable experience. So much to do and Andrea was such a friendly host. Really good value for money
Sonny was nice and we saw lots of Iceland
Alain was our guide for this tour and it did not disappoint - a great way to see the main sights of Iceland without a car, along with Alain’s knowledge and love for the country, it was a brilliant experience! There are plenty of stops for drinks and restrooms. The pickup was easy and we were pretty lucky with the weather as a fair bit of walking, so just make sure you bring comfy shoes and wrap up warm!
Vjeran was a great guide who made the experience enjoyable, chilled, witty at times and altogether a very interesting and informative trip. Even though the weather was against us at times.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Unforgettable Golden Circle Experience with Vjeran! What an amazing experience! We had the pleasure of having Vjeran as our tour guide for the Golden Circle tour, which included the Secret Lagoon and the beautiful Kerið Crater. Despite the heavy rain early in the morning, Vjeran made sure our experience was nothing short of wonderful! His positive attitude, friendliness, and enthusiasm turned what could have been a gloomy day into an unforgettable adventure. And let me tell you, Vjeran is hands down the BEST photographer! 📸 He went above and beyond to capture beautiful memories for us, making sure we had amazing photos to look back on. He truly made our Iceland adventure even more special. If you're planning a Golden Circle tour, I highly recommend requesting Vjeran as your guide. Rain or shine, he knows how to make the experience memorable! Thank you, Vjeran, for an incredible day and memories we will cherish forever! 🇮🇸❤️
Fantastic trip got to see loads of amazing things! Even the rain didnt spoil the experience. Vjeran our guide was great, went above and beyond. Very informative and took pictures for us at each stop. The weather cleared for the afternoon. Loved the secret lagoon was very relaxing!
Best experience in my Iceland Journey. They took us from the meeting at exact time. The vecihle is so comfortable. Our driver and tour guide Vjeran help us at any chance. He took our photo always when we ask. He knows what he does. Thank you BusTravel and Vjeran.
Great day with Vjeran our guide,he's super informative and a lovely guy as well, highly recommend to anyone
The Golden Circle and Secret Lagoo was a brilliant day trip. Sonny and our driver were excellent and made it a very comfortable trip. There was plenty of time in each place and the lunchtime food stop was fab. Excellent food at a good price. Pick up and drop off was on time and easy.
Good tour, good value. Secret lagoon was not packed which meant I relaxed more while in the hot spring bath. There is a cold plunge pool too if you care for that. Peter was knowledgeable throughout the tour.
The day was packed but we never felt rushed. Peter was an exceptional guide, filling the day with very interesting information about Iceland, its geography and history. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour or Peter! Thank you for a fantastic day!
Great, informative tour by Peter. Saw some wonderful sites of Iceland in one day. Definitely will be back to explore some more of the Island.
peter is the best very very good
Michael the driver did a great job! Sunny our guide also did an amazing job, she was very informative and kind. We had great weather, overall great trip and a great way to see the Golden Circle stress free! Thank you Michael and Sunny!
We enjoyed the majority of this tour, we were disappointed with the final stop at the Kerid Crater as this was literally just a hole with green water in it. The waterfalls and secret lagoon were amazing to experience, the sheer force of nature at the waterfall, noise and scenery were a highlight we all enjoyed.
Very good experience. A full day with many beautiful moments. Guide Saga had a very friendly tone throughout and gave so much information. Also tried to describe how it was to grow up in Iceland . Very nice day !
An excellent tour to beautiful locations and a long stretch at the hot springs. There was time to go on solo walks and take it all in. I don't do tours as I liek to spend time alone in beautiful locations, but with Sunny as our guide, I could really enjoy the tour. She was easy to approach and talk to about the tour and struck just the right balance between commentary, humour and giving us time to reflect in silence. Slavomir was a polite, safe and very friendly driver.
What a fantastic way to take in some of the highlights of the land. Our tour guide Darren and driver Robert were super friendly and informative. Even the drive getting from A to B to C was fascinating enough in between our destinations. I was going to try say what a highlight for me was but it was all equally amazing, I do recommend the fish and chips at the Geysir location. Highly recommend this tour.
The tour was exceptionally well-organized and an incredible experience that I 100% recommend! The guide SAGA was very friendly and shared great information about the tour, though a bit less focus on personal stories would have made it even better
Greatly enjoyed the tour with Sunny. Enjoyed her humor during the tour but she explained a lot about Iceland and provided a lot of interesting info as well. The Golden Circle and Kerid crater were all excellent but the highlight was soaking in the Secret Lagoon. A well-earned bit of relaxation after visiting the sights. Bring swimwear and a towel if you don't want to rent.
We had an excellent day under the guidance of Saga. She is very friendly, funny, conscientious and knowledgeable and made our day fun and informative. Would definitely book another tour with Saga and BusTravel Iceland.
Very good tour and knowledgeable guide. The secret lagoon was the best part of the trip.
We had a wonderful time being toured around the Golden Circle by Saga with Bus Tours if Iceland. Personal highlights were Gulfoss, the Geysir area and of course the most relaxing part of the tour, the Secret Lagoon. Saga was at once both charming and informative with infinite patience. She clearly loves her work and clearly loves Iceland, as do we all now.
