What To Expect
Thingvellir National Park
Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, holds deep historical and geological importance. Visitors can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates at the striking Álmannagjá gorge, which widens annually. It’s also the location of Iceland’s first parliament, adding cultural depth to its natural wonders.
Geysir
At Geysir Geothermal Area, stroll past bubbling springs to Strokkur, a geyser erupting every 5–10 minutes, shooting water up to 20 meters high—sometimes even 40. Nearby lies the dormant Great Geysir, namesake of all geysers, once said to have erupted to an astonishing height of 100 meters. We will also most likely make our lunch stop here at the visitor center. The center offers several dining options.

4.00Allen was a fantastic guide with so much information to give and made the whole trip so fun. We didn't make it to the Blue Lagoon because of the bad weather closing the roads. But the Golden Circle was absolutely amazing

1.00We were supposed to do this trip with BusTravel Iceland. Prior to the trip ( and on the morning of the trip) I had received multiple emails and what’s app messages from the company. On the day of departure we waited at allocated bus stop for over 45 mins with two children ( no shelter at this particular stop). When no bus arrived I messaged the company to be told the bus was stuck in traffic and to continue to wait. After another 10-15 minutes another tour company helped me call the company. When I got through I was firstly told that the tour wasn’t running, and then I was told that there had been a problem with the booking system and so the guide hadn’t known to pick us up! Due to the fact we waited so long (freezing) in good faith there were no other tour options that day which included the places which we wanted to visit which was extremely disappointing as if we hadn’t been told beforehand or earlier we could have arranged an alternative trip. We were only in Iceland for a few days so we didn’t have the option to reschedule. I was offered a full refund, and told the refund team would process it as a matter of urgency. After waiting a few days I had to get back in touch to be told I had to instigate the refund process through viator.. Again if full and clear information had been provided in the beginning this would have made this process better and the refund would have been quicker. A disappointing experience dealing with a large company with poor customer service. I would advise to avoid this company
