Itinerary
Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, holds deep historical and geological importance. Visitors can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates at the striking Álmannagjá gorge, which widens annually. It’s also the location of Iceland’s first parliament, adding cultural depth to its natural wonders.
At Geysir Geothermal Area, stroll past bubbling springs to Strokkur, a geyser erupting every 5–10 minutes, shooting water up to 20 meters high—sometimes even 40. Nearby lies the dormant Great Geysir, namesake of all geysers, once said to have erupted to an astonishing height of 100 meters. We will also most likely make our lunch stop here at the visitor center. The center offers several dining options.
Next, we visit Gullfoss, meaning “Golden Waterfall.” It’s part of the glacial river Hvítá, fed by the massive Langjökull glacier, visible on clear days. In spring, Gullfoss is especially powerful—up to 2,000 cubic meters of water thunder over the falls every second, about 20 times the winter flow.
Opening in August 2025, Laugarás Lagoon inspired us so much with its vision that we built this tour around it! Set beside a pristine river, the lagoon will offer warm waters, cold plunge, two saunas, and a swim-up bar. Relax and reflect on your Golden Circle journey in this beautiful setting. The tour with Lerki entrance ticket, includes a towel and a complimentary drink from the in-lagoon bar.

On my 4th trip to Iceland decided to the Golden Circle tour for the first time. I think I chose well as this time of year it wasn't very crowded (compared to many photos I've seen during peak times). The group I was with was 11 in total so all went relatively smoothly. The stops around the Golden Circle are spectacular as to be expected. With this tour the amount of time at each is limited compared to other tours, but for me it was perfect. I was looking forward to Laugaras Lagoon as have done Blue & Sky previously. Laugaras is smaller and has a really nice setting and views. The waterfall you can walk through going from upper to lower level is great. Again it was not very crowded so spending a couple of hours there was peaceful and relaxing. Our guide was great the whole way.
Denis was our tour guide, he was amazing and so informative about everything we saw on the tour, he really made our entire trip and we couldn’t recommend him enough!
Siggi is awesome! So much energy and compassion with knowledge and humor.
Super awesome trip, Siggi was an amazing tour guide. Definitely recommend!!
This was a great tour! We really enjoyed spending the day with Siggi! He was very entertaining and informative. We especially enjoyed the Laguaras lagoon, the geysers, and learning about Icelander’s love of licorice. We will be back someday to photograph all the beautiful churches of Iceland. Joe is so good at finding them! Thank you again for such a memorable day. Sincerely, Joe and Jess
Very enjoyable tour. Ziggi was great. Waterfalls were amazing and the Laugarás Lagoon was a great relaxing ending.
Great day out value for money. Ed out guide tour was extremely helpful and pleasant Good value for money as we had lots of different stops and sights we covered
Really lovely day trip. Quintessential stops along a beautiful drive.
The car was super comfortable with only half full. Length of visit was just right, and our guide Mr. Sigfus Thor was so friendly to us.
The weather did not cooperate that day but Alain made the trip very interesting by adding a lot of fun facts as we were driving around. He is very knowledgeable about Iceland. The tour ended up being very educational. Will definitely book with them again.
The tour was great thanks to Alain. He was entertaining and informative regarding Iceland’s history, folklore, country facts, and even sang to us (has a wonderful singing voice) a couple of Icelandic songs. There was a snafu at the beginning of the tour as a bus broke down and our tour was combined with another group. But we still had enough time at all the sites and Alain made the tour fun for everyone.
Andrea was our tour guide and did a fantastic job. She was informative and energetic. She even sang us an Icelandic children’s song when the radio wasn’t working for a short period of time. Highly recommend.
A few memorable moments on this tour - sitting in the hot springs water with light rain coming down; Alain, our guide singing Icelandic folk tunes to us on the bus; seeing the spray float up from Gulfloss waterfall. It's a well planned day, very safe for solo travellers and can highly recommend.
A great tour, made better by an excellent guide--Peter--and sunny weather. A highlight was Laugaras Lagoon, a beautiful, new (year old) lagoon that provided a stop in the middle of the trip (rather than at the beginning or end of the all day tour), which was a welcome break. I'm sure the lagoon will at some point become a standard stop on everyone's day-long Golden Circle trip, but we had it almost to ourselves. Peter was informative and entertaining throughout, the transportation very comfortable, and the tour well-organized. Several tours were combined in our case (for example, some did the Golden Circle with Sky Lagoon option), so a few brief extra stops were made to accommodate everyone, but as it was our first time in Iceland, the extra scenery was worth a few extra minutes driving time! We've taken small group tours like this in a number of countries and cities around the world--this was among the best.
Highly recommended! A wonderful tour with a fantastic guide. Vjeran was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through the day in a fun and lively way. We are left with nothing but positive experiences and many great memories. Thank you, Vjeran, for a wonderful day ion Iceland.
We really enjoyed our tour with Helgi. It was nice having a local tell us of the history of Iceland and his experiences growing up here. The varied landscapes were beautiful and the lagoon was so relaxing and clean. My only complaint is that we felt rushed at each stop. There wasn't enough time to thoroughly see each site especially at stops that were crowded. It was a long day. But despite all of the we loved it and would recommend this tour!
Great day, would recommend this tour. Monika was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend ending your day at the Blue Lagoon. It is incredible!!
Juliana did amazing! She is very fun and knowledgeable about all locations that we visited! Would highly recommend her as a guide and the tour in general
Mikki was an amazing tour guide!! The stops are with a right amount of time and all the information was a amazing, this has been my favorite tour ever
Excellent tour, with Mikki our guide. The Laugarás Lagoon geothermal pools were wonderful, beautifully set in nature with sympathetic architectural design, and not at all crowded. The other stops were all Golden Circle highlights. Mikki provided lots of interesting information about the sites as we travelled between them, and even threw in some Icelandic music tracks. The only hiccup was a delayed start as some passengers were late so we had to rush the first stop to make up time.
Very nice trip, even with Rain. The guide was precious, on time and very kind
The views were amazing. We had a great time and Vjeran the tour guide is fantastic. Worth a visit for this tour.
Wonderful experience with Vjeran this trip, very pleasant and helpful.
Roman was very kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent guide. If you are looking for a faster paced tour so you can see a lot in one day, this was it. Perfect if you only have 1 day left in your trip.
I was very pleased with this tour of the Golden Circle and Laugaras Lagoon. Our tour guide, Mikki, was knowledgeable and provided so much valuable knowledge of Iceland’s history, geology, and culture. Mikki is kind and calm, which made the atmosphere of the tour very peaceful and enjoyable. The group size and tour bus is small enough to enjoy things independently without it being too crowded, which makes this your best for any traveler, whether you’re going solo or with family. The time spent at each location and attraction was enough, and allowed for some personal exploration and photo taking opportunities. Overall, I was impressed by the flow of the tour and was glad to have chosen the lagoon option. Highly recommend!
Mikki was such an amazing tour guide. Super knowledgeable and helpful as we made each of the stops. His guide through the golden circle was 10/10! Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable!
Thorey way amazing super fun and knowledgeable
It was a lovely combination of exploring the beautiful natural sites and relaxing in Laugarás Geothermal Lagoon. Our tour guide Vjeran, was very knowledgeable. He allowed for the different fitness levels within the group, which I appreciated. I didn't feel pressured to alter my natural walking pace. There was enough time allowed for each planned stop, as well as an unexpected one at the end. Thanks - it was a wonderful experience.
This golden tour was wonderful. Our guide Vjeran kept us entertained with local folklore, interesting information about the geology and history of Iceland. The lagoon spa was really special, very nice dressing rooms and showers, two level lagoon with waterfall in beautiful setting of forest and river viee.
Great day with Alain, with a lot of information.
Great time! Fun and very informative
Super fun tour. Jorri was a great guide and very informative. Lots of local culture stories and interesting info about Iceland…
Sven and Gregory were great! We learned a lot about this wonderful country.
Roman was our tour guide and driver. Only 7 people on the tour including my family of 4. We had ample time at each stop and Roman even made a couple of ad hoc stops - one at a spot for ice cream made on-site where you are almost literally sitting with the cows. Great history and geology lesson throughout the 10 hour tour. I would highly recommend the tour, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Roman as your guide.
It has been a great day - we covered a lot. Many thanks to Vjeran for getting us through this amazing experience in Iceland.
Great team, the tour went smoothly, and they were very attentive and friendly. The bus was comfortable!
Siggi was an outstanding guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and entertaining! He created a community on our tour and made everyone feel connected. I would highly recommend any tour Siggi leads.
Vjeran is a wonderful tour guide! The tour was amazing! The best experience!
Dennis is an exceptionally smart and entertaining guy; nicely done!
Giuseppe was very entertaining and very knowledgeable about volcanos
so nice I really love this journey and relax with the guide called Miss Juliana
I thoroughly enjoyed Juliana’s tour, in particular her pre-recorded history and accompanying music, which I found a creative and efficient way for her to focus on driving while educating us. The visit to Laugaras Lagoon was a special time with friends and a healthy and fun way to close out the day. And the food at Laugaras was tasty and healthy.
Anna our guide was fantastic , full of fun facts , kept the tour light but interesting ! Would recommend this tour . If you’re arriving on a cruise ship look for the cheaper option rather than your cruise as we found it was half the price !
Mirra was a wonderful tour guide along with our driver. Not only did we have beautiful weather for our Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon, we stopped to pet the Icelandic horses.
Good Experience, time is limited to explore
We loved Helgi! He was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our experience greatly. Every stop was a lovely memory that we will always cherish.
Dooly was a great guild and loved how he explained everything along the trip and even told personal stories about growing up in Iceland.
The guide cum bus driver was an excellent story-teller. She covered history, cultural beliefs, perspectives and life experiences. Lana, she name in short made the trip memorable, fun and our money worth.
Our ship was late to clear customs but the driver waited for us! Addi was our driver/tour guide. He was friendly and informative. Prepared us about the best things to see, how difficult/easy the walk was and what to expect at each stop.
