Visit to Friðheimar greenhouse where we learn about the magic methods of managing pests by using biological controls and to grow delicious tomatoes in a eco friendly way with the aid of geothermal heat which Iceland has in abundance.
Geysir geothermal area is where the Strokkur geyser shoots a column of water up to 30 meters (98 ft.) into the air every 4-8 minutes in a thrilling display of nature’s forces.
Visit to Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 m (105 ft.) deep.
The Golden Circle tour also includes the historical and geological wonder that is Thingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

We had two wonderful days exploring Iceland, visiting the South Coast and the Golden Circle. Our guide Margret was the same on both days, which made the experience even more enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging, sharing interesting insights and making each excursion memorable. A special mention also goes to our driver Tuorstein and sorry forgot the other driver's name, who were professional, courteous and ensured a smooth and comfortable journey throughout. Both contributed greatly to making our Iceland experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended!
We took this trip in early November 2026 and our tour guide, Kristjan was very knowledgeable about the history of Iceland. We visited the Fridheimar greenhouse where we had the best tomato soup along with some tomato…beer? It shouldn’t but somehow it works! Next we visited the Geysir which did not disappoint. Then we heard the story of the 19 year old girl that saved the beauty and splendor of the Gullfoss waterfall from greedy developers. The waterfall was better than Niagara IMO. Finally, we saw some breathtaking views of the continental rift valley and then our driver Tomasz returned us safely back to Reykjavík! The perfect day!
Our tour guide Kristjan was very informative and passed on facts on Iceland and the areas we visited all day. Our driver Tomasz was excellent. Iceland is beautiful and we got to enjoy a little bit on this tour. The tomato greenhouse visit was an added bonus (the soup was amazing)!
Great trip out for a glimpse of what iceland has to offer both the guide Elly and driver Mihai were amazing
Wow! A truly breathtaking experience of some of Iceland’s amazing natural landscapes. The stop at the greenhouse was very interesting and the tomato soup is a must try, really delicious! Although places were crowded at times, this is to be expected and it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the trip. Elly was a fantastic tour guide, a lovely voice to listen to and gave interesting facts about the places we visited and the areas we drove through on the way. The coach was clean, warm and comfortable, thank you for the smooth journey Mihai. Plenty of places to buy food and souvenirs, plus all important rest rooms throughout the trip. Highly recommend to others, this was our first ever trip to Iceland and we definitely will be returning!
Loved the whole trip, the landscapes and the explanations ! The waterfall was incredible, and the tectonic plates were almost unbelievable ! Those explanations were really clear about everything. Very interactive with a bit a humour, we appreciated it so much ! Thanks again to Elly and Mihai for this beautiful experience.
Elly and our wonderful coach driver, Mihai were exceptional. Despite the near constant rain they got us to the various destinations and we had plenty of time at each. Very informative and we felt we learned a little about this beautiful country.
Elly and Mihai made a great tour
Fantastic tour with Elly and Mihai - so much covered. The tomato soup at the greenhouse was delicious. Elly was a great guide with lots of interesting info. Would definitely recommend!
Best tour guide I’ve ever had. Great driving from Tomme and Lasma has great knowledge of everything we seen today. Kept us all entertained all day. Would recommend to anyone
Fantastic views and the perfect length tour. You see so much. It was affordable and the guides were so helpful and friendly. We were a group of 35 which was perfect and the crowd sizes weren’t too bad. Definitely suitable for most people, with areas that can be accessible for people with limited mobility. Tomme and Lasma were wonderful!
A great tour. Lasma, the guide was passionatîng and available at any time. Landscapes are amazing.
Lassma and Tommi were amazing and made our tour all the more marvelous! Lassma was very sweet knowledgeable, and informative! Tommi is no only a great driver, but also a source of knowledge with a spectacular sense of humor! Very much appreciated and recommended.
Plasma is perfect guide and Tommy is great driver
Thanks to elly and thor we enjoyed the trip very much
Great day out - interesting tour with enough time at each stop to enjoy the locations. Our guide Elly and driver Thor helped make it an enjoyable day.
So nice! The guide told us good amount of information and it was very entertaining. The length was good, the travel way was the right amount of time to not get bored. Everything we got to see was amazing! And not to many people. I would recommend everyone to go! The only negative thing was the whole trip there was a fan giving away some annoying sound and maybe the speaker could have been a little clearer.
Wonderful trip, fascinating and plenty of stops. Drive was comfortable and the guide was really informative, learnt a lot about Icelands history. Thank you 😊
For the first time in Reykjavik, Iceland and this was enjoyable experience.
Nice and cool experience. Thanks

Even though we had a flat tire and took longer than expected to complete the tour, it was excellent overall. Thank you.
Excellent value for money. We had perfect weather for the day, very organised guide brilliant driver. Every stop is just right as the guide allows enough free time for guests to see the sight, have a walk and comfort break. The guide for our tour is Benedict. Thank you for the great day out.
Tour was very good. The sights were majestic. Our guide could have been a little friendlier.
Richy and not forgetting driver Salty were brilliant. Richy’s monologue throughout the day was informative and engaging. The tour kept to schedule and we were given all the information we needed to help explore the various sites. Driver Salty steered the ship expertly throughout the day. 10/10

Good experience from start to finish. Our guide and driver are splendid. Highly recommended.
Really informative guide, time to visit all of the attractions was good and we had a lovely day
The driver and guide made the experience fun and educational. I would not consider this a “small group tour” but it wasn’t a problem.
Lasso the goat, unnaur also the goat It was le epic time. Game of thrones mention.
Gudjun the guide was excellent in his knowledge of the area, nature and history. Very entertaining. There was enough time at each stop to see and do what you wanted to without being g rushed. Scenery was breath taking, waterfalls and geysers spectacular. Special mention to Maggik the driver for doing a great job.
Amazing experience, would definitely do it again. Lasma was an amazing guide
Fantastic tour. Great way too see some excellent areas in Iceland's golden circle. Lasma was a fantastic guide who added lots to the experience. If you have the chance to take a tour with her we would highly recommend.
Really good guide and a nice trip with Gudjon jes Maggik.
Godjon Jes Maggi K were really great and took good care of tjej group. Excellent guide with a lot of memorable information and anecdotes. Perfect trip. Truly recommend.
Fantastic tour - the pickup from outside the hotel worked perfectly. Once on the tour bus, the driver (Maggi) and tour guide (Gudjon) made us feel very welcome. The tour was amazing and the Gudjon had an amazing depth of knowledge and kept us laughing. The driver was fab, even in some unexpected snowy weather. Fully recommended.
Had the most amazing day doing the Golden Circle Tour. Our driver Maggik and guide Gudjon expertly guided us. First stop was the Green House learning about geothermal agriculture and saw some fantastic tomatoes, vegetables and flowers growing inside greenhouses heated from the earth. Next stop was Geysir wow! Just WOW! So much better than expected. Then onto Gulfoss the Golden Waterfall… it’s huge… finally the national park where we learned about Tectonic plates. All round a brilliant tour not just learning and Iceland but the earth itself… Thank you 🙏🏻
The trip was quite enjoyable. Gudjon Jes (our Guide) told us a lot about all the sights, some fun stuff about the hidden people and sagas. The weather was good so we enjoy it. The Trip was about 9h, with the mentioned stops in the Description. We could See all the refered time. MaggiK drove us safe through the day.
Beautiful tour with our funny guide Elly. We have an overview of part of Iceland marvels.
Ingibjörg and Lazo were lovely host and driver. The scenery was spectacular. We saw rainbows along the drive. The soup at the greenhouse was delicious and Gullfoss is breathtaking.
Our guide Gudjon was very knowledgeable and entertaining with his humour. We really enjoyed the whole day. Our bus driver Jes Bjorn was very capable and drove very well especially since we had really strong winds in one area. Would definitely recommend this tour.
