Itinerary
Þingvellir National Park – A UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between two continents! Explore dramatic landscapes formed by the shifting tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. This is also the historic site of Iceland’s first parliament, founded in 930 AD. We’ll enjoy an easy and scenic walk through the rift valley, surrounded by stunning nature and fascinating history.
Geysir Geothermal Area – We will spend about one hour exploring this incredible geothermal field, home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts impressively every few minutes. You’ll have time to walk around the area, take in the natural beauty, and capture amazing photos. We will also enjoy our lunch here in a nearby restaurant with views of the geothermal landscape.
Gullfoss Waterfall – Known as the “Golden Waterfall,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. You’ll witness the powerful two-tiered cascade plunging into a deep canyon, creating misty rainbows on sunny days. We’ll take a walk along the viewing paths to experience the waterfall up close from different angles, and you’ll have plenty of time for photos and to enjoy the breathtaking views.
Kerid Crater – A striking volcanic crater lake with vibrant red and black slopes surrounding a deep blue pool at the bottom. We’ll take a short walk around the rim, offering amazing views and photo opportunities. You can also walk down to the water level to experience the peaceful atmosphere from inside the crater. It’s a perfect blend of geology and beauty – a true highlight of the Golden Circle.

Great Golden Circle tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The van was comfortable, and the sights were amazing. Þingvellir National Park was the highlight, with its impressive tectonic plates. Thank you Val
We had 4 grown adults. They showed up with a station wagon. Tried to charge more for a larger car. The tour guide did not tell us anything. We had to ask where we were going because he provided no information. It was a taxi ride
Cannot say enough great things about this tour and our guide Elyas. Exceptional experience. Absolutely gorgeous country, amazed at the beauty. Elyas was incredibly knowledgable and made our experience amazing. Would highly recommend!
The sites were incredible and our driver, Valinca, was more than competent and very kind. So much so that I mistakenly left my hat in the vehicle at the conclusion of the tour, and he returned it to my hotel later that evening. That was above and beyond normal expectations. Thank you, Vaninca and Hyper Taxi!
A great way to visit each of the top sites along the Golden Circle. Our driver picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at each site, allowing us as much time as we wanted to enjoy each location. This was not a guided tour, but our driver, Valinca, had been to each location and was able to recommend the best way for us to spend our time at each site. We had an enjoyable time throughout the day and Valinca could not have been more helpful. He was also pleasant to visit with and helped make our day a great one!
The tour driver was flexible and courteous. He picked us up on time and dropped us off at the cruise terminal. A very nice day.
Sayer was fabulous and very professional . He picked us up at our cruise port in Iceland in a nice size clean van, and was 15 minutes early. He was waiting on us when we departed the terminal, help with our luggage, and very polite. He explained our itinerary for the day and showed us all the high points of Iceland. At the end of our tour, he delivered us to our hotel. I highly recommend Sayer.
We truly appreciate Viator of their full understanding and accommodating our group’s changes. The change was made in less than 12 hours before the trip. It was not an easy situation as the schedule changes due to different agendas and the local weather. Viator worked with us promptly and professionally. We are so pleased of the trip even the weather was not an ideal situation. The driver, Valinca, was so accommodating and worked with our schedule. Big Kudos to Valinca and Viator.
Taking a private tour was the way to go. See the beautiful sites without the rush or waiting for 40 people to get off the bus!!! The Golden Circle is a must see.
Our driver was very friendly, very accomodating and we felt safe with his driving. However, we certainly didn't get any knowledge of Iceland from him, we may as well have just booked a taxi to take us arouind. A friend went on one recently and also go a guide in with their tour, they learned all sorts. We thought that is what we were getting but sadly that was not the case.
Nazir was an excellent driver/guide. He was very knowledgeable about Iceland and he went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.
The Golden Circle is a wonderful way to see a good portion of Iceland. We liked having a private tour person so we could be on our own schedule. Unfortunately, our guide, although a nice guy, was unable to provide any information about anything we were taken to or even whilst we had lengthy times in the car. We had to even ask where we were going next and how long would it take. He just dropped us off. No information about Iceland or the places we were visiting was offered. It was nearly $1,000 US $ and much too expensive to have a guide with no knowledge of what we were seeing. Disappointing to say the least. If you can get a guide who is from Iceland who knows the area instead of a person who is not from Iceland, you will have a better experience than us.
We had a great experience with Valinca and Lawrence. They were great tour guides and very accurate with their timing.
Driver was good, drove safely and pleasant. Charge was very high and included in Golden Circle is Blue Lagoon, a 15 minute ride from the airport. yet, Viator wanted to charge us an added $180 for drop off at airport that took the drive 15 minutes extra. Outrageous.
good!! It was fun. Thank you very much.
