Thingvellir National Park, Thingvellir, Iceland The tour starts with a visit to Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of the longest running parliament in the world. It is also here that the great continental plates of America and Eurasia have dramatically pulled apart and the resulting rift valley is clearly visible on the shores of Iceland´s biggest lake. 45 minutes
Strokkur, Selfoss, Iceland The next stop is at Geysir Hot Springs, the home of the original geyser and one of the most photographed tourist attractions in world. Here the ground trembles and super heated water & steam erupts skywards from the spouting Strokkur geyser every few minutes. 45 minutes
Langjokull Glacier, Iceland Next we head to Gullfoss Waterfall where you will step aboard a custom-made Super Truck that´s capable of driving across rough snowy terrain thanks to its enormous tyres. The drive to the snowmobile base camp at the foot of the Langjökull Glacier is an unique Arctic highland experience and the snowmobile tour that follows is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Ride across the eternally frozen snow and ice fields of one of the biggest glaciers in the world on a guided snowmobile tour, exploring one of the last true wilderness areas in Europe and indeed the world.
Please note that a valid driver's license is required to drive a snowmobile. 210 minutes
Gullfoss Waterfall, Blaskogabyggd, Iceland When you return from your snowmobile adventure you can enjoy a leisurely walk down to Gullfoss Waterfall. There the Hvítá glacial river cascades down 32 metres on two levels into a narrow canyon with a thundering roar. 30 minutes

Great day from Start to finish... Pick up & Drop offs all on time. Very pleasant tour guides. Gullfoss waterfall & snowmobiling absolutely an amazing experience. We went as a group of 4 ages 15, 22 and 37. You get 30 mins on the Glacier snowmobile then a 10min break at the top of the Glacier for photos and swap drivers then 30mins back down the Glacier. You get around 45mins at the Golden Circle, Gullfoss waterfall and The National Park.
We even got a cheeky stop in to see the Icelandic horses and fed them. Wasn't part of our schedule but the tour guides go above and beyond.

I highly recommend the Golden Circle with a Snowmobiling Glacier tour, available through Reykjavik Sightseeing. Hotel pick-up and drop-off were seamlessly efficient. The staff were helpful, polite and entertaining! The tour guide was informative. The Geysers and waterfall were amazing, but.....the snowmobiling experience was superb. A definite 'must do' whilst in Iceland.

We wanted to book a glacier snowmobiling & ice cave tour that starts from Reykjavik. The only chance to book this was in a full day tour also including the golden circle. We have been to the golden circle several times already and didn't really feel to go there again, but as we had no other chance to book the snowmobiling & ice cave tour we chose to book this full day tour.
When booking, it was offered as one full day tour by Reykjavik Sightseeing. We also got the confirmation that we booked one full day tour.
The tour was planned for sunday. Saturday afternoon we received an email, saying the glacier part of the tour is cancelled due to weather conditions. However, the golden circle part will still take place. If we want a refund for the glacier part, we have to contact the partner of Reykjavik Sightseeing who operates this part of the tour. It was only then when we found out, that it was to different tour operators, each offering a half day tour in cooperation. Nobody told us before. Nobody told us that it might happen that one part of the tour is cancelled and the other part will still operate. There was also no information about that on their website or in the booking process or booking confirmation. We thought (of course), that if the tour operator cancelles our tour that the whole tour is cancelled and that we will get a full refund.
This partly cancellation by the tour operator happened less that 24 hours before our tour was planned to start. So we had no chance to cancel the rest of the tour as well for a full refund. Plus, we had to call the hotline several times until finally someone took up the phone telling us, that for our request we have to contact the "cancellation and refund office", that is not working on weekends. So we had no chance to solve our problem between the cancellation by the operator and the planned start of the tour. Very poor service!
So we only got that email saying they expect us to be on the golden circle tour the next morning, and that we can request a partly refund for the rest of the tour. In this email there was not even an information about the price break down for the tour. We had no idea how much refund we could expect. Plus, and that was the worst part, it was not even our booked golden circle tour they expected us to join the next day!! We originally booked a small group tour, max. 18 participants, starting at 7:30am, which would have managed to avoid meeting all the large busses with hundreds of tourists at the stops along golden circle. But they rebooked us on a different tour (large bus, 60 people in one group, starting at 8:00am together with several other large busses for the same tour), without even asking us if we are fine with that! Without giving us the option to get a refund instead of joining this tour! Unashamedly they told us in this email that the golden circle part of our tour "will still take place". But it was not our tour that we had booked! It was a different tour they rebooked us for with a different starting time.
So, as a result I can say, the tour operator cancelled the whole tour we had booked. But, in order to make money, they rebooked us for a different tour without us agreeing and were not willing at all to give us a refund for the tour that we had booked and payed for and that they had cancelled.
