Departure Point
Skógarhlíð 10, 105 Reykjavík, Iceland
Thingvellir National Park, Thingvellir, Iceland The day starts with visit to the Thingvellir valley. A place of amazing natural beauty where the land has been torn apart by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the largest fresh water lake in Iceland and is the beating heart of Icelandic pride, being the birthplace for the longest standing parliament on the world. 45 minutes
Strokkur, Selfoss, Iceland The journey then continues to the Geysir park which is filled with bubbling and steaming geothermal springs. The anticipation builds as you approach the viewing point for the Strokkur Geyser, where the ground trembles and almost without warning, the geyser erupts spectacularly to a heights of 35 meters. 45 minutes
Gullfoss Waterfall, Blaskogabyggd, Iceland Then you continue to the magnificent and majestic Golden Waterfall or Gullfoss as the locals call it. As water melts from the second largest glacier in Iceland, Langjökull, it reaches Gullfoss where it falls 32 meters down into a canyon with a thunderous roar. An amazing site and favourite of visitors. 45 minutes

Gunnar (not sure that’s how you spell it) Great tour guide. Informative and all stories delivered with that dry sense of humour. Hassle free - Pick up and drop off. Would recommend tour.

The tour guide was very sweet and accommodating. However, the actual tour was not labeled correctly. We purchased the Golden Circle tour AND a stop at the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon was forgotten about essentially. We had to ask the entire day what the next step was. We did to get to the Blue Lagoon until 7pm (they close at 830pm). When we got to the front desk they did not even have our reservation. They had to call the company directly which took another 45 minutes. So you're on the bus for almost 6 hours total and at each stop about an hour to 70 minutes. I would have booked this alone and the Blue Lagoon alone had I known this was simple an add on for the company to make more money. Just disappointed we had 30 minutes at the lagoon. Transportation home from the lagoon was a mess as they also never set that up. Over all, there are so many companies in Iceland that do this sort of trip - choose another one that actual cares and follows through on what you actually paid for.

The tour was fantastic! Seeing 3 key locations and many drive by locations with a very knowledgeable tour guide who was friendly and caring for all guests
The 3 locations were incredible all with very very good facilities, very clean and tidy. The bus was clean and tidy and the driver drove perfectly. We got a free drop off back in town at the end of the day.
Only slightly annoyance was picking up people from secret lagoon on the way back at the end of the day just wanted to get back to go out for dinner etc
Would highly recommend this trip! Iceland is so beautiful!
