Itinerary
Our adventure begins with a visit to Þingvellir National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage site of immense historical and geological significance.Imagine walking between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates – a truly unique experience! Your guide will bring to life the stories of Iceland's ancient parliament, where laws were made under the open sky centuries ago.
We'll make a brief stop to admire the picturesque Öxarárfoss waterfall, a charming cascade easily accessible by a short walk. Enjoy the scenic views and capture some photos.
We'll make a pleasant stop at Efstidalur II, a family-run farm. Enjoy some free time to take photos, perhaps interact with the farm animals, and enjoy a break.
Next, we'll explore the geothermal wonderland of Geysir. Witness the bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and the famous Strokkur geyser erupting dramatically every few minutes, sending a column of hot water high into the air. Enjoy the unique sights, take a walk around the area, and capture some memorable photos.
Experience the beauty of Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders. On a sunny day, you might even be lucky enough to witness a vibrant rainbow arching through the mist! We'll take you to well-maintained viewing platforms, offering different perspectives of this magnificent waterfall. You'll have time for sightseeing, guided information, and capturing stunning photos. The Hvítá River crashes down into the canyon, creating a powerful and ever-changing display. From the nearby viewpoints, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the falls and the surrounding landscape, making it a perfect spot to take photos and immerse yourself in Iceland's natural beauty.
We'll take a delightful and unique break at the Friðheimar tomato farm. Step into a greenhouse oasis where you'll learn about the innovative ways Icelanders grow fresh produce year-round, even in the Arctic climate. This geothermal wonder is one of the area’s main attractions, and it’s impossible not to be amazed by the power and regularity of its eruptions. During our visit, we'll have time to enjoy the show and take some photos before continuing our journey.
As our day winds down, we'll head to the dramatic Kerið Crater Lake. Take a walk around the rim for panoramic views and then descend to the water's edge to truly appreciate the scale and beauty of this unique geological wonder. It's the perfect final stop to reflect on the day's incredible experiences. You'll have time for sightseeing, a guided overview, a walk around the rim, and photo opportunities to capture this unique geological formation.

The tour itself was amazing. The time spent at each location was perfect and allowed us enough time to really appreciate the views. Edgar was super knowledgeable and answered all of our questions even the silly ones. He kept us laughing throughout the day as well.
Guide was Edgar. It was an awesome experience!
Good experience, I spent a excellent day.
Great trip, lots to see and apart from the rain all day (that was what we expected) a perfect trip
We had a great tour with Ioanis. He is a very friendly and professional Greek guide who made the experience enjoyable and informative. The tour was well organized, and his knowledge helped us gain a better understanding of the places we visited. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you, Ioanis, for a great experience
5 of 5 tour. Our guide and driver Piotr was a brilliant
Our guide was Carlos, fron Nordul Travel, an Argentinian who lives and works in Iceland, and besides giving us lots of explanations at each of the stops on the tour, he gave us a lot of useful tips to enjoy our trip to Iceland. . I would highly recommend this to
We booked a small group mini bus Golden Circle tour directly with Nordur travel. It was fantastic and we got so lucky with our driver & guide, Lara. She was amazing and so knowledgeable. This is a long trip (about 10 hours, due to heavy snow on some roads) but it went so fast. We saw some mind-blowing and unforgettable Nature. The Gullfoss Waterfall was next level incredible. You will need thermals, waterproof & windproof clothes & sturdy boots. If you’re going in winter/snowy or icy conditions, then buy crampons that slip over your boots. It can get very icy and we were all skidding around like Bambi on ice on narrow paths as we didn’t have them. Memories made forever.
Lorenzo was an amazing tour guide. We saw a lot and every view and experience was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour.
The Trip was a very Nice Tour and the Guide was very Nice and friendly. We‘ve Seen very Great things on our Drive to the different sights
The van was nice and the stops were honored, but this was advertised as providing guided tours from an English speaking guide. This was not provided. The guide spoke only conversational English. While her language skills may be suitable for a shop or a restaurant, tour guide requires a level of proficiency that was clearly not met. Additionally, no guided service was provided, as was advertised in the Viator description. There was no commentary at all. About anything. I’m not even sure she introduced herself. At most stops the guide pointed in a direction and said “go where the people are going”. The pick up timing was improperly communicated, the meet up location for one stop was unclear, leaving 6 participants in the wrong spot. A typical guide would be panicked if customers were missing but the guide did not call me until I called the main office. 15 minutes past the scheduled meeting time. She often disappeared during stops, and spent a lot of time scrolling on her phone. At one point, the van went over a large bump and the passengers were jolted from their seats. Although most were fine, I was in the back, which is slanted, and my head hit the roof pretty hard. The guide did not ask if anyone was hurt. That is simply irresponsible. I am under the impression that this is not the normal guide. Had this been advertised as a DIY tour for which only transport was provided, it would have been fine. This wasn’t as advertised. Overall, it was fine. I wrote the review because managing passenger expectations will help satisfaction. As a courtesy to the company, I contacted them prior to reviewing online and they said they’d look into it internally.
Kel is outstanding and he is bilingual - ASK for him! Visited all the places we wanted to see and had lunch, on the golden circle tour. Probably the best tour driver he is drives very safely
Great tour, only 7 people including me and my partner. Tour guide (Rodger) was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Excellent service, our guide Edgar explained many things to us that were very interesting, for me it is a very complete tour, I loved it!
Excellent tour, the guide Edgar explained everything very well and in Spanish, the times were respected, it was very good!!
Edgar is very kind, explains well, and provides you with important information about the places.
Edgar is excellent and very kind
Everything was very good, the guide Edgar explained everything super well and was very kind!
Awesome, Edgar is super kind, explains everything in detail, and is very fun
Excellent tour, good timing and punctuality
Without a doubt, this guided experience would not have been as interesting without Edgar's explanations, friendliness, and professionalism. 5 stars for him, please.
Good guide, patience and explanation. Kind
Edgar did a very good job.
Santiago, a wonderful guide. Very well-informed, attentive, friendly, and approachable It was a wonderful day. We enjoyed it
We had an incredible day exploring the Golden Circle and it was all thanks to our excellent driver and guide Edgar. His knowledge is impressive and he explained everything to us in detail during the trip. I especially loved his scientific and honest explanation about the tectonic plates at Þingvellir; he gave us a brilliant geological lesson that made the visit much deeper and more real than a simple photo for social media. He managed the times perfectly so that we could enjoy the eruption of Strokkur at Geysir, the majesty of the Gullfoss waterfall, and he also surprised us with a fantastic extra stop at the Kerið volcanic crater. He also gave us great recommendations, such as the stop at the Friðheimar tomato greenhouse. He was super kind and professional. If you are looking for a guide with great human quality who truly masters the science of the place, this is the right tour. Thank you very much for making our trip to Iceland unforgettable!
Honestly, all the attractions are surprising and very unique! It is very worth it, the journey has many landscapes and the stops are very interesting and original, like ice cream shops where you see the dairy cows and a tomato orchard! Guide Edgar gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions!
Super pleasant!!!, the guide Edgar was 100% attentive, empathetic. Many stars for Edgar. The iconic, beautiful places.
It is 100% worth it I just think the visit times should be adjusted, that is, for example, less time for food and more time for some space where the views are worthy of admiration
Edgar was an excellent guide, he knows many things about the places and gives recommendations
Very good experience, very complete tour with wonderful places, I highlight Lorenzo's performance as a guide, very attentive, informed and very friendly, recommended!!!
Our guide was wonderful, kind, friendly, and very competent.
Cheaper than anywhere else and the pickup place was good because it was close to the accommodation. It was good because the guide walked together on a small scale and guided me with the best and easy course.
The guide provided complete explanations of the tour, very patient; we arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes late due to the cruise ship disembarkation, and he waited for us and reassured us. Perfect guide, smiling, pleasant atmosphere.
Great excursion in Spanish with our guide Carlos. We were entertained by the almost 9 hours of the tour, accompanied us at all times and resolved our doubts. I recommend it.
A great experience and a nice and fun but interesting tour, thanks to our guide Carlos.
Great tour and great fun, our guide Carlos did a great job!!
We were with the guide Carlos excellent tour in Spanish I expressly recommend it. He solved all the problems and gave us a spectacular time. I recommend this tour
We loved the tour, Jessica, our guide took us great through all the stops, giving us all the necessary information to enjoy it properly. It also made the lake experience very enjoyable.
The tour was wonderful. Not only because of the spectacular scenery and places visited but, above all, because of the guide, Sebastian, one of the best guides we have had in all the trips we have made. My wife and I ended the outing with a big smile on my face. Sebastian was attentive, friendly, funny, detailed and very knowledgeable about everything related to Iceland. He gave us a lot of information and many valuable tips, both to take advantage of each stop of the excursion and for our stay in the country. I was surprised that he spoke in Spanish, something I didn’t expect, as well as speaking several other languages that he mastered. But regardless of language, his character favored a relaxed and fun Mood that, I think, everyone in the group liked a lot. About the excursion itself, it is very well organized. We stopped at many places, more than other excursions on the Golden Circle I had consulted before, and with more than enough time at each stop. This is the most classic excursion from Reykjavik and the busiest, since there are also many people from cruise ships that stop at the port. But done in this way, in a small group, and so well organized, it is enjoyed as much as other more exclusive excursions. I can only recommend this Golden Circle tour of Nordur Travel. And if it's Sebastian, even better.
The guide Kelwin was very friendly and kind! Showed us wonderful places and gave us tips on how to access the best places more easily! The tour, in Spanish, was fantastic! I recommend the tour and especially the Kelwin guide.
The places are magical! It is worth visiting and enjoying the beauty that only Iceland has! The Kelwin guide was super attentive and partner!
It was a great day, the places are wonderful and the guide Gonzalo was very friendly and quite considerate in the times for each place. Recommended 😀
We had a great time. All super good thanks to the team of guides and vehicles. I recommend 100% making the excursion from Reykjavik.
