This is an ideal tour for those who want to see the two most visited places in Iceland in one day. The Golden circle named by the Golden waterfall or Gulfoss. On the same route we will visit Thingvellir national park which is located in the middle of the Euroasian and American tectonic plate. Enjoy a walk between both plates down to valley where the oldest democratic parliament is based.
We will stop at Geyser hot spring and enjoy one of Icelands most visited tourist attraction, geyser Strokkur which blows up every 6-8 minutes. Next stop will be place such as Kerið crater, Hveragerði town. From here we are heading to Reykjanes peninsula and finally catch the Blue lagoon (entrance fee not included). This tour is nearly always private. Even if we have two or more bookings for same day, tour still will be highly privately so customers have enough time to research wonder of Icelandic nature.

5.00We had a great tour with Andres. He had many suggestions and was very flexible. He picked us up on time at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and interesting as well. He gave us a good view of Icelandic history as well as spectacular views along the Golden Circle.

5.00We were picked up as scheduled from our cruise ship. The Golden Circle trip was planned for us. Andres was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about the area, both the geography and the history. He was entertaining and helpful. He filled our day with fun facts and magnificent sights. When we expressed an interest in altering the plans to include downtown Reykjavík he was happy to oblige and had more stories to tell about that area. We had a full day and were very satisfied when Andres dropped us at the airport!
Fantastic day with the best tour guide

5.00The golden circle trip with Andres was excellent. He cared about his clients. He knew a lot of Iceland’s history, geology and culture which he shared with us throughout the trip. He was not in a hurry to complete the trip quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Great tour to see highlights along the Golden Circle with awesome guide!

5.00Our first taste of Iceland was along the Golden Circle with Andres as our guide. Andres was terrific, he highlighted the attractions best suited for our interests and allowed us time to hike / explore as we went. He was flexible, knowledgable and made the 10+ hours we spent with him a pleasure. Five stars all around!
Excellent experience

5.00Andres made the Golden Circle tour a great experience for us. He was on time, his SUV was clean and comfortable, he was very courteous and patient. He talked about the history and significance of each site we visited and gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves at our own pace. Prior to the trip he communicated via Viator messaging but eventually we connected thru WhatsApp. That helped a ton because we could communicate real time and set expectations as needed. This was supposed to be an all day tour but I think he went above and beyond because we took our time at several sites and yet he never rushed us. Overall a great experience
Excellent day with...

5.00This was a full day driving the Golden Circle. Our guide Andres was amazing. I can’t say enough about his experience and knowledge. He was flexible with stops and always asked our input while providing options. We made a short detour to a working dairy farm for some fresh ice cream which was amazing. Having a great guide on a private tour made all the difference.
Perfect if you have one day in Reykjavik

5.00Great tour. Andres is a little bit opinionated, but he also knows what he's talking about. We saw some spectacular scenery, and at the end of the day, he took us on a neat tour of downtown Reykjavik
Fantastic day visiting the golden circle!
